Do you ever feel the urge to peel off tomatoes?
Well, I do. Since when cooking them the peel gets anyway separated from the pulp. And is easy! Let me tell you how to do it.
- Flip the tomato over and cut an “X” into the bottom.
- Put the tomatoes in boiled water for five minutes.
- Replace the hot water with cold, even iced water and keep them for another five minutes.
After these two steps the peel will be easily removed.
Folks at CULINARY ARTS from About.com show us how to peel off a tomato and more.

Folks at CHOW prepared a list of nine bruschetta recipes that I’m sure you will enjoy.

What came first? Homo sapiens or cooking? Evidence points to the later
Scientists from Harvard University claim that cooking helped us evolve in the humans we are now.
Monkeys and apes spend more than a third of their waking time feeding because they have to chew raw food. Opposed to that, modern humans only spend 5%, since their food is softened by a cooking process. Continue reading
