If you have ever had bagels and lox or enjoyed a dish of chicken or veal piccata in your lifetime, you probably have seen and tried capers before. These little salty, lemony, olive-like flower buds (yes, flower buds - we'll get to that in a little bit) are like a bold necklace or beautiful watch in the food world - something unexpected that can elevate whatever it's paired with if done well. However, unless you come from an Italian or Mediterranean family, you probably rarely, if ever, buy capers to keep in your fridge at home. But if you get to know a little more about their bold flavour and how to use them, you may find that they can actually play well in a surprising number of places, from traditional dishes, to even some unexpected places like potato salad.

    Suit and Apron

    No celebrity chef got to the top without getting burned, cut, and spilled on at least a couple dozen times. While most of us won't become the next Gordon Ramsay or Ina Garten, it doesn't mean you shouldn't learn the culinary basics.

    Join us as we stumble our way through the kitchen to success, one burn, cut, and delicious meal at a time.
