Peeling Tomatoes p.76
"The familliar, time-consuming method for peeling tomatoes is to submerge them in boiling water. But when only a small quantity is needed, grip the tomato in metal tongs and rotate it over a low flame for 2 to 3 seconds, until the skin pops and splits. Set tomato aside briefly to cool, then peel with your fingers."

Ready Bread Crumbs p.80

"Keep this flavorful bread-crumb mixture on hand to coat chicken and fish, or to shake over vegetables before they go under the broiler. Mix 3 cups of fresh bread crumbs with 1 cup grated Parmesean cheese, 3 tablespoons dried oregano, 2 tablespoons dried basil, 1 tablespoon thyme, 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, 1 teaspoon coarse salt, and 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months."
