Default Recent food or cooking discoveries?

After pruning my herbs, I found that putting them in a container of cold water and storing them in the fridge keeps them really fresh and crisp for days, even reviving some mint that was completely wilted. Works much better than wrapped in a wet paper towel in a plastic bag.

Also found that using honey on clippings as a rooting hormone really helps to grow the clippings into new plants.

Lastly, chickpea flour instead of all purpose flour for deep frying, makes everything really crispy and not oily, and even some fish that I had leftover was still crisp the next day. Just had to pan fry it a bit with some Pam and made it totally crispy again. Added benefit is that chickpea flour is basically ground garbanzo beans, so no added carb, but instead added protein! Great for celiacs.
