Tips, facts, and how-to

When in Season
Use summer fresh corn. File this recipe away for summertime when corn is in season (nothing compares to the much-loved peaches and cream). Simply boil two large corncobs for 3 minutes and then cut kernels from cob. One cob yields about 1 cup of kernels.

What is panko? Editor's Note: This is a variety of bread crumb.

Salmon cakes: eyeballed the ingredients, left out the fish seasoning mix, used Italian breadcrumbs instead of the Japanese, and fashioned into 8 smaller cakes instead of the suggested 4 -- delish!
