The post “For Here” Orders & Free Refills Are Making Their Way to Starbucks appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>Select Starbucks locations in North America brought back the “for here” orders this week, allowing patrons who opt to stick around to enjoy their beverages in mugs, glasses, and other reusable cups brought from home.
This marks the coffee chain’s latest attempt to reduce waste and embrace sustainability, as a part of its initiative to reduce its overall waste by 50% by 2030. Starbucks’ spokesperson described this innovation as “one way we’re returning our cafes to warm welcoming coffeehouses.”
Starbucks visitors who opt for the “for here” order can also enjoy free refills of brewed coffee and tea, either hot or iced. Some of Starbucks’ signature beverages aren’t a part of this offer, including nitro cold brew, regular cold brew, iced tea lemonade, flavored iced teas, and Starbucks Refreshers.
Starbucks also announced the return of the condiment bar, which hasn’t been around since the pandemic. Customers can now add creamer, milk, and sweeteners to their drinks on their own, without asking the barista for help.

]]>Timberlake’s list consists of all the classics, and there is a chance you have more than a few of them in your cupboard. At No. 5, the “Cry Me a River” singer has Honey Nut Cheerios, which are the “staple”, and he likes them because they are “good for your heart”.
At No. 4, he has Frosted Flakes. Timberlake suggests adding sliced bananas to this iconic cereal to make it taste even better.
Timberlake’s “strong” No.3 is Fruity Pebbles. According to him, you shouldn’t dunk this cereal too much before you eat them because they will turn soggy. However, you should definitely dunk extra. His No. 2 cereal is Cap’n Crunch.
“Otherwise, rest in peace to the roof of your mouth,” Timberlake explains.
Finally, at No.1, Timberlake has Cinnamon Toast Crunch, or the “GOAT of cereal,” as he calls it.
“To be clear… this is not an ad. Cereal is just important to me,” Timberlake added in the caption of the video.

]]>The post Ina Garten Shares Her Secrets for a Perfect Dinner Party appeared first on Cooking 4 All.
]]>In a recent interview with NPR, Garten spoke about her experiences with putting together dinner parties and shared some secrets she picked up along the way.
According to Garten, she learned a lot from a dinner party she organized when she was 21. She invited 20 people and wanted to cook personalized omelets for each guest. However, this caused her to spend the entire evening in the kitchen and led to disastrous results.
“It was such a bad party, I almost never had another party again,” Garten admitted.
Because of this, Garten recommends that everyone who wants to have a dinner party keep things simple. She also advises that you stick to smaller groups of people and get everyone as close to each other as possible.
“Very often people have long, rectangular tables that are way too wide and people are seated too far apart,” Garten told NPR. “I like when everybody’s knees are almost touching and it feels very intimate, with a dark room and a candle in the middle.”
So there you have it. Rather than throwing big dinner parties with a lot of different dishes, choose a smaller circle of friends and make just a few dishes you know everyone will like. This way, both you and your guests will have a much better time.

@henrikchristians1 You guys have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person #fyp #olympics #paris2024 #olympictiktok #olympicvillage #muffinman ♬ original sound – gagasfamemonster
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Prepare a muffin tin with large liners or make your own with parchment squares as described above.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Stir in buttermilk and soda water or cola until well combined.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chunks, reserving a few for topping.
- Divide the batter among the prepared muffin tins, filling each about three-quarters full. Sprinkle the reserved chocolate chunks on top.
- Place in the oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- While the muffins are baking, heat the cream in a small saucepan until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips, letting sit for a few minutes. Stir until smooth.
- Once the muffins are baked and slightly cooled, use a small spoon or knife to make a hole in the center of each muffin. Fill with the chocolate ganache.

]]>Mastering the Art of French Cooking
When it was first published in 1961, Mastering the Art of French Cooking was revolutionary. With meticulous instructions and a warm, encouraging voice, Julia Child and her co-authors not only taught people how to cook, but also ignited a passion for the culinary arts.
La Varenne Pratique
Anne Willan’s La Varenne Pratique is part culinary encyclopedia, part instructional manual, offering a detailed overview of French cooking techniques, ingredients, and recipes. Published in 1989, it was groundbreaking for its step-by-step photographs and clear, concise instructions.
The Joy of Cooking
First self-published by Irma S. Rombauer in 1931 during the Great Depression, The Joy of Cooking has since become a beloved kitchen staple. It’s known for its comprehensive coverage of American cuisine but also includes techniques and recipes from around the world. Updated through the decades, it continues to be a favorite.
