A Culinate contributor’s tips

March 17, 2011

The Oregonian recently featured Culinate blogger Katherine Deumling for her efforts (through her cooking-class company, Cook With What You Have) to encourage people to embrace home cooking.

Tips we liked? Cooking and freezing beans and grains in small quantities so they’re always on hand; making your own pestos, spreads, and other flavor-boosting pastes; and remembering that beans, grains, and vegetables are really all you need as the building blocks of a delicious dinner.
