Fruit Smoothie with the Ninja

By Drew | Published: October 15, 2009
I already mentioned the Ninja Master Prep once before. And when I said it was good for prepping food, I wasn’t kidding. But I’ve got to tell you, this thing is absolutely replacing my blender when it comes to making frozen drinks. I can’t think of anything I’d rather use the blender for. Except … well, [...]

Prepping With The Ninja Master Prep

By Drew | Published: October 13, 2009

    Cooking used to be all about making food that tasted good. But somewhere along the way, we seem to have decided the diet-of-the-week was more important. How to Cook Like Your Grandmother is a return to recipes and techniques that are based on what tastes good, not on junk science and fad diets.

That's where Starting From Scratch comes in. I'm not saying you'll go from zero to hero just by reading it, but at least now you'll know what those self-proclaimed experts are talking about.
