]]>In Nigella’s eyes, orzo pasta is a highly-versatile ingredient that can work with a wide variety of dishes, from salads to quick and easy pasta dishes. Also, orzo makes for a decent filler if ever you forget to pick up some ingredients the next time you go grocery shopping.
While cooking often involves many steps (some even at once), plenty of concentration is necessary. Still, while following all these steps, you may end up forgetting to taste your food as you cook. Don’t forget this step, Nigella warns, as at the end of the day, it’s important that you enjoy the dish, no matter what the recipe says.

]]>If you flashback to 50 years ago or even just a decade ago, these celebrities were much more difficult to find. Check out these three pioneers who popularized and established the concept of a “celebrity chef” to the world.
Julia Child was arguably the first true “celebrity chef” as she rose to enormous popularity in the 1960s and 1970s. She showed ordinary people how to prepare once-inaccessible high-class French dishes on her beloved television show, showing that making delicious cuisine was possible for everyone.
In the 1990s, Bobby Flay revolutionized the concept of what a celebrity chef is. Rising to popularity on the nascent Food Network in the United States, Flay made a transition from Cajun chef into a cooking mogul, hosting a variety of cooking and food programs as well as publishing best-selling cookbooks.
Before Anthony Bourdain’s untimely passing in 2018, he was truly the king of the celebrity chef world. After starting as a chef at Michelin-starred restaurants in New York City, Bourdain wrote a tell-all book called Kitchen Nightmares that showed the less glamorous side of these kitchens to the world. Next, he starred in television programs that showed off food from around the world to audiences who loved his ability to tell stories through the food of local communities.
