Lemongrass, a root that looks like a tougher scallion, is widely used in Asian cuisine. It's named after the citrus fruit, thanks to its lemon-like scent — but how do the two stack up when placed side by side? To find out, Brad Farmerie, executive chef of The Thomas restaurant in Napa, CA, and member of the Lean Cuisine Culinary Roundtable, put both ingredients to a sensory test.

Find out what the results were — and how to conduct a similar test yourself — when you read on.

For coffee lovers and caffeine cravers, nothing beats a perfect cup of joe. Whether you're a Starbucks loyalist or you brew from home, you can master a few simple tips and tricks — besides cream and sugar — to perfect your habit, making your morning cup of coffee all the more sacred. Bring these five tips to the pot the next time you get brewing!

• Good grind: The right grind can make or break your coffee. If you're serious about the ultimate pour, consider purchasing a coffee grinder for maximum flavor. Keep the size of the coffee grind in mind as well, since this corresponds to the brewing method you use. Coffee made with a French press, for example, needs to have a coarser grind, whereas espresso or Turkish-style coffee requires a very fine grind.
• Keep it fresh: Fresh coffee means fresh flavor. For a cup filled with taste, purchase beans from your local roaster. Keep the roast date in mind. The closer a coffee is to its roast date, the more intense the flavors will be. To maintain freshness, store your beans in an airtight container rather than the freezer.
• Keep it simple: From the "coffee pods" to instant packets, the variety of options available to brew a cup can be overwhelming. Rather than spending hundreds on a fancy machine, keep it simple with the French press. Without a filter, the oils from the coffee beans are not absorbed . . . more oils mean more taste!
• Add flavor: Try adding spices to the coffee grounds before brewing. Cinnamon and nutmeg are common additions. If you're looking for a more intense experience, sprinkle a little bit of cayenne pepper in the grounds to give your coffee a spicy kick. If you're a latte lover, flavored syrups will add a sweet splash to your cup!
• Quality is key: For coffee connoisseurs, the details matter. Fresh, filtered water, a quality roast, and rich creamer will make all the difference. And make sure your coffee equipment is clean: if you're going through the effort to make a great pour, the last thing you want is to end up with a cup that doesn't taste fresh because it's been a while since you last cleaned your machine.

Just like sourdough baguettes or homemade bread, challah goes stale after only one day of making it. Rather than chuck the remaining pieces, turn to one of these recipes that uses day-old challah, so all your hard work making and braiding doesn't go to waste. With so many options for using it up, there's no reason to toss any leftover loaf.

1. Slice the leftover pieces, wrap them tightly, and freeze the same day your challah is made to prevent it from becoming stale. Then toast the pieces another day to refresh them.
2. Use the bread to make bread pudding or a strata.
3. Bake croutons to toss in salads or garnish soups.
4. Swap out white bread for challah in a basic french toast recipe.
5. Homemade breadcrumbs couldn't be easier to make; freeze them in a resealable bag and use them at your leisure for meatballs or to bread chicken or fish.
6. Slice the challah and whip up your favorite grilled cheese or panini.

Follow dmash and switch up the tomato routine by opting for a less obvious caprese salad.

Heirloom tomatoes, goat cheese, basil, and a good balsamic vinegar = a little slice of heaven. I don't know why I never thought to ditch the mozzarella and switch up my Caprese salads!
