    Would y’all consider doing episodes with (1) anchovy recipes, (2) sardine recipes, (3) nut recipes? Eva, how do you make YOUR bagna cauda? I love all of these salads, especially the one with black rice, avocado, pineapple, and shrimp!!! You even grated garlic — or was it ginger? — over the shrimp!

    You can avoid the pasta problem entirely simply by making the pasta fresh and rinsing with cold water. The salad parts can be prepared while it's cooking… I've always done it this way when adding pasta to salad and it's never mushy.

    What we call barley in the US doesn't look like what she showed for farro, which is actually a type of ancient wheat (or a combination of wheat varieties). Farro and barley can substitute for each other in many recipes, however. All tasty. Just different.

    Go to a Dutch bakery, or a French bakery. The bread that you buy there is delicious. Absolutely no chemical brioche.
    Even the bread in de supermarket here is not bad.

    I make an Italian style pasta salad that my family loves. The trick is to stop cooking the pasta 2 minutes from Al dente then when you dress it the pasta absorbed the dressing without becoming mush. Also what is the deal with the over use of vinegar in pasta salad ? 🤮

    The pasta pots they have in supermarkets are always extremely mushy, and bland. The tomato sauce they use often tastes sweet, but not natraul sweet you get from some tomatoes. And call me crazy but they could use with a touch of salt or something because they lack anything savory either. Rushed and bland and expensive.

    Because of the economic crisis that always comes up the best thing to be on every wise individual’s mind or list is to invest in different streams of income that’s not depending on the government to generate funds.

    As far as I know… farro is spelt (but in the States it seems to be mentioned as "farro" as well, as if it wasn't that cereal) and barley is actually orzo. Both can be used to make "pasta salad", but it's good to know what cereal we're cooking with, isn't it? 😉

    My secrets to keeping pasta salad al dente is sour cream mixed with the Mayo and using much less than you'd expect of both. The effect is the outer part of the pasta will become sealed in some way which allows the inside to stay al dente. It will no longer absorb moisture and keep its integrity.
