How to Dry Age Beef with Salted TV

The best way to become a better chef is with practice, no one can deny that. But there are a few kitchen techniques that are best learned with a little help from the pros. Because we can’t all go to culinary school or work in a professional kitchen, it’s difficult to find one-on-one instruction for something like cooking the perfect steak or making pork cracklings. Which is exactly why we’re a little obsessed with Salted TV.

Salted is a new type of cooking school. Created with 50 master chefs from across the country, it’s a unique, visually-driven way of learning to cook that features beautifully edited HD videos that focus on everything from the basics, like how to make grits, to advanced techniques going on behind the scenes in some of the country’s best kitchens. Each video is tagged as easy, intermediate or advanced, so there really is something for home cooks of all skill levels. If you’ve ever dreamed of going to culinary school but can’t spend the time or money, Salted teaches valuable lessons you can access online from the comfort of your own kitchen.

Inside the creation of Serenbe: A biophilic community reshaping how we live, eat, and connect

Few people have reinvented their lives—and the lives of others—as radically and impactfully as Steve Nygren. From pioneering Atlanta’s casual fine dining scene in the 1970s to founding Serenbe, a biophilic wellness community nestled in the hills of Georgia, Nygren’s journey is one of vision, values, and a deep commitment to living in harmony with nature.

What began as a spontaneous weekend drive to show his children farm animals eventually led to the purchase of 60 rural acres and a complete lifestyle shift. That grew into what is now Serenbe: a 1,400-acre community designed around the principles of sustainability, human connection, and holistic well-being. It is home to more than 1,500 residents, 700-plus homes, a boutique hotel, and one of Georgia’s first certified organic farms.

Tullamore D.E.W Irish Whiskey

Flavored whiskey is big business in the spirits world. Take a stroll along the aisles at your local liquor store or peruse your go-to online retailer, and you’ll be met with myriad flavored whiskeys.

In my years of writing professionally, I’ve tried my fair share of flavored whiskeys. Many of which are honey whiskeys. While I wouldn’t drink these whiskeys every day and likely not neat (not judging you if you do) or on the rocks, they are well-suited for a wintry Hot Toddy or to elevate your favorite whiskey-based cocktail.
