sdgfsMartha Stewart answers top questions about ingredients commonly used in cooking and baking.
Q: How do regular and Dutch-process cocoa powders differ?
A: The numerous varieties of cooking ingredients on supermarket shelves can leave even the most seasoned chef wondering what to choose. Let Martha clear up the culinary confusion.
Both types of cocoa powder come from cocoa beans that have been fermented, dried, roasted, pressed, and ground. In the Dutch process, the beans are also treated to make them less acidic, resulting in a darker powder. Although some favor the flavor of the regular version, our editors find that Dutch-process cocoa powder has a smoother, more chocolaty taste and disperses more readily in liquids, making it easier to stir into batters and hot chocolate.

We'll do almost anything to reclaim a bit of our weeknight time-except sacrifice a delicious dinner. Get the best of both worlds by using a make-ahead recipe: Do most of the work when you have time, like on weekends, and put just a few finishing touches on your dish when you're ready to eat. Here are five time-saving strategies to get your dinnertime off to a running start.
Freeze then reheat.
Soups are great meal options to store in the freezer and reheat on the fly. For safe freezing, cool the soups to room temperature first. Storing them in freezer-grade quart bags are great space savers in this scenario.
Prep ahead.
Keep vegetables and grains in mind when deciding what to prepare on a weekend. Precooked ingredients like rice and quinoa can be quickly reinvigorated with a bit of heat and a splash of chicken broth.

Mix ice cream, stout, and a dash of luck for a decadent dessert-cocktail perfect for St. Patrick's Day. This recipe is a alcohol-infused version of a root beer float: vanilla ice cream topped with Irish stout. With the ice cream sweetening the rich beer, the float is as much a dessert as it is a drink. Scoop ice cream into a pint glass, and pour in enough stout to fill it. One pint of ice cream and one 12-ounce bottle of beer will yield 2 servings.
