A business for all ages opened over the weekend in Dubuque.

Goose and Giggles Play Cafe opened Saturday at 3339 Hillcrest Road.

What’s cooking in that one pot? For these moms, it’s a new food world

MIAMI — First, they drop the onions into the pot. Then in go the chickpeas and garlic cloves, all under the watchful eyes of Chef Luis Montoya.

For a group of Miami women, mostly moms and grandmas, this one-pot meal can solve a challenge: How do you prepare easy and affordable healthy meals in a community that can be considered a food desert?

Inside the Overtown Youth Center, the women slice and dice and squeeze their way through a recipe for chickpea soup with lemon and herbs, a recipe inspired from the Mediterranean, a place known for populations that can live to 100 and more.

Umami's an old flavor but still a new concept for many cooks. Here's what to know

You know that burst of flavor you experience when you take a bite of certain savory foods, such as meat, fish, mushrooms or miso? That sensation of “whoa, that is just delicious!” In all likelihood, you are tasting umami.

Umami, which translates to “delicious savory taste, “ was identified as a distinct flavor in 1908 by Japanese chemist Kikunae Ikeda. It’s now recognized as the fifth taste, joining sweet, salty, bitter and sour.
