June 5, 2017 by Suzie the Foodie 5 Comments

I had no idea when I added polenta to my Foodie Bucket List that it was going to be such a complex journey. Just like when I started doing research for making bagels, everyone not only has a different approach to making polenta, there are different main ingredients to take into consideration. Cornmeal? See you can make […]

At this time of year one particular piece of produce gets really, really cheap. Corn! And I bought a nice bunch of it for under $2 and came home and thought, what the heck am I going to make with all this corn? I had already made corn bread, cakes and chowder… Then on Facebook Amy […]

Epicure Selections’ Corn Tortillas

August 2, 2011 by Suzie the Foodie 9 Comments

I was always curious to see how corn tortillas compared with wheat flour tortillas but could not make them myself without a tortilla press.
