But beyond worrying about finding the ripest and sweetest fruit, there’s a precaution that’s much more serious: cherry pits. The stones in the center of …

Creamy Pesto-and-Shrimp Penne with Peas
Pre-peeled shrimp, frozen peas, and store-bought pesto makes this flavorful pasta come together in minutes.

Are Raw Oysters Safe To Eat?
One of our favorite ways to celebrate happy hour is with a tray of oysters on the half shell. Oysters are the star of every seafood tower, especially when you top it with a squeeze of lemon and a dash of Tabasco. But they can make many people feel squeamish—understandably so.
