Tom the Chef Founder Tom the Chef Founder Prepare a thanksgiving meal to remember.

If you prefer thicker cuts to be served, you don’t need to worry about this process. I would probably never pound a beef sirloin steak, but I sometimes like to pound a chicken breast or pork steak. Pounding meat with a meat mallet (meat tenderizer) is one of the best ways how tenderize meat — the muscles break and the meat gets a different texture. Tom the Chef Founder Many culinary ingredients we call vegetables are actually fruits. Tomatoes, avocados, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, pumpkin, and even olives fall into this category. They are technically fruits because they develop from the ovary of a flowering plant and contain seeds.

In 2019, I started CookingwithFamily.com because I wanted to share my passion for food. As Cooking with Family grew, it connected me with people all over. People shared with me recipes, stories, and a love of cooking. The more the community grew, the more I realized that I wanted a space where everyone would be able to share this passion for food. The idea for CookingHub was born. While we worked on all aspects of CookingHub, we got the idea to establish CookingHub Foundation, which would operate CookingHub and give proceeds to charities that fight hunger. Tom the Chef Founder
