Tuesday’s Tip: How much food?
Growing up, my parents always had a party every Christmas night. It was one of my favorite parties and fondest memories. We have been having our annual Christmas party for several years now and I love sharing my Mom’s traditions while adding my own flair. The first few years I made way too much food and eventually came up with this equation. Now I always have enough for the party AND the late night crew. Happy planning!
Love, Mrs. Gridiron

Tuesday’s Tip: Which whisk?
There are so many whisks out there how do you know which one to use? There are 3 main whisks people use, The French Whisk, The Balloon Whisk and The Flat Whisk.
1- French Whisk: This is a great all purpose whisk. It has long straight sides which are great for whipping air into ingredients. It is also ideal for emulsifying mayonnaise and vinaigrettes.
2- The Balloon Whisk: This whisks shape of rounded sides and bulbous shape are ideal for aeration and foods that require volume- think egg whites and whip cream.
3- The Flat Whisk- The other name you hear for this is “the roux whisk”. This is great for using with shallow vessels for pan sauces and gravies. It is also for lifting poached eggs out of the water.
