Why You Should Never Bake Quiche In A Pie Pan - Tasting Table

Image
A springform pan is a much better choice for quiche, considering it is much deeper which yields a silkier crust with less risk of overbaking, according to Andrew Zimmerman. While most home cooks use a pie plate for their quiche, purists would consider this sacrilegious, as Food & Wine points out. Other chefs, such as Thomas Keller, also prefer a springform pan to a pie plate, seeing that you can remove the sides once the dish has cooled, to really show off your work. A pie plate has slanted edges, meaning the distance from the pie crust to the top of the filling is different around the sides versus the center. This leads to uneven cooking, with the potential for overbaked edges and an underbaked center. The two-inch deep springform pan will cook your quiche evenly and give the ultimate mile-high slice that you order at brunch, making you feel like a pro in your own home. In fact, it requires a bit more filling, making each slice a little more deca...

Is The Hoola Bronzer Really Worth It? - The List

Image
Benefit's Hoola Bronzer is undoubtedly one of the most popular bronzers on the market. It comes with a mirror and natural bristle brush for easy application (via Byrdie). When it comes to price, it is a mid-range powder bronzer because a regular size costs $30. It is more expensive than a drugstore brand, but the quality and results are hard to beat. Plus, one bronzer lasts for 18 months, according to Marie Claire, so $30 doesn't seem like a lot for that amount of time. Plus, this cult favorite is loved by many because the original shade (medium) compliments a wide range of complexions. Based on your coloring, you could use one swipe if you have fair skin and a couple of layers if you are more tan (via Beauty Mag). If you aren't ready to fully commit, you can try the bronzer in a mini size for $17. It is so popular that it is also available in a jumbo size for $44.  Given this iconic bronzer's neutral-warm shade that compliments most ski...

My Chemical Romance’s New Makeup Is Inspired By The Black Parade - Refinery29

Image

Many a black eyeliner-streaked, emo tear was shed when My Chemical Romance's first collaboration with beauty brand HipDot — the Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge makeup collection — sold out in just a minute. Even more so when the follow-up drop ( Danger Days: The True Lives of The Fabulous Killjoys ) did just the same a year later. Almost as many tears, we imagine, as when the iconic band (formed by Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Frank Iero and Ray Toro) released new music this summer for the first time in eight years. If you, too, were left in your own puddle, it's time to wipe away the tears. MCR x HipDot is back, this time with The Black Parade collection, available for pre-order from today, Thursday 14th July.

Yara Shahidi's Double Winged Eyeliner Is So Ethereal For Summer - The Zoe Report

Image
Yara Shahidi is impressive for many reasons. Not only is she a successful actor and recent Harvard graduate, but she's also constantly leveling up the beauty game. Shahidi has made memorable appearances at events like the Met Gala and the Emmys, always infusing every look with timeless elegance. However, she's not afraid of a trend du jour, and this week, Yara Shahidi's double winged eyeliner proves that the winged liner craze is far from over. While doing press for her hit Freeform series grown-ish , the star wore a braided hairstyle (courtesy of SherriAnn Cole) as well as an ethereal makeup look from makeup artist Vincent Oquendo. The artist gave Shahidi a shimmering green winged liner with a bit of dewy sparkle on her eyelids, some wispy eyelashes, and a pink glossy lip tie everything together. "Reunited with this cutie #yarashahidi for her grownish press," Oquendo writes in the caption, where he also reveals that he used a full face of Dior Beauty. If you look...

30 Types Of Bread, Explained - Tasting Table

Image
According to King Arthur Baking Company, a culture of bacteria is critical to forming sourdough bread. The bacteria, which are found naturally in the flour and on almost all kitchen surfaces, feed on a mixture of flour and water — this mixture is referred to as a sourdough starter. Once the yeast settles and starts to eat the starches in the starter, it produces carbon dioxide bubbles (the distinctive flavor of sourdough bread). The exact flavor of the sourdough is dependent on the types of wild yeast present and the type of flour used in the starter.  Making your own sourdough starter at home is easy. To start, mix 1 cup of flour with ½ cup of warm water in a glass. Cover with a light cloth. King Arthur Baking Company recommends using whole wheat flour, like pumpernickel or whole wheat, because it is more likely to house a rich collection of wild yeasts. The mixture needs to remain in a warm environment to stimulate growth. After 24 hours, discard ½ of the mix, add 1 cup ...

Byredo Founder Ben Gorham on Working Out to Bulk Up in Middle Age - The Wall Street Journal

Image
The gym is where Byredo founder Ben Gorham's brain goes into full creative mode. By the time he arrives at his studio in Stockholm, his day becomes a scheduled lineup of meetings and other duties, so the meditative state he gets into while working out is key. Gorham, 44, who pursued professional basketball before starting his fragrance and luxury home goods company, has spent the last year getting into lifting weights. "I read something about the depletion of muscle mass in middle-aged men," he says with a laugh. "I was doing a lot of trail running and climbing and surfing and skiing, but I felt like I needed to start bulking a little more."  Gorham founded Byredo in 2006. Over the years, the company's scents, w...
