Ask Robin

Spice Up Your Rack

YOU ASKED ROBIN:

The [Must-Have Kitchen Ingredients] list is about right on, but you might mention small list of most used spices. Salt and pepper is great but sometimes not quite enough.

YOU ASKED ROBIN:

I don't cook everyday, but LOVE to try out new recipes for special occasions and when I get together with friends. Next on my list is paella! Have you made that before? What's a good starter paella recipe and what ingredients/items do I need?

So Many Pots, So Little Time

YOU ASKED ROBIN:

I need to upgrade my pots & pans. Can you recommend some inexpensive brands? Thanks in advance!

Must-Have Kitchen Ingredients

YOU ASKED ROBIN:

Can you tell me the top 10 ingredients to keep in my house to make quick and easy dinners for an on-the-go mom? And then :) can you suggest a couple meals to go with them? Thanks!

Comfort Mexican Food

YOU ASKED ROBIN:

What is your favorite Mexican dish to make?

Cool Kitchen Gadgets

YOU ASKED ROBIN:

What is #1 on your kitchen gadget must have list? Right now, I'm loving my mandolin and santoku knife and am considering this weird egg yolk separator thing I saw on the Paula Deen show.

Chic Cheese?

YOU ASKED ROBIN:

I'm a fan of cheese, but it's so expensive to experiment. I find myself walking around the cheese counter at Wegman's guessing. Can you recommend some go-to cheese?
