• Cook's Tip on Draining Spinach
• A potato ricer, a gadget that resembles a very large garlic press, is ideal for making creamy mashed potatoes. As a bonus, it is handy for easily pressing water out of cooked or thawed spinach.
• Cook's Tip on Jarlsberg Cheese
• A mild Swiss-style cheese with large irregular holes, Jarlsberg is smooth and melts readily. Check the gourmet cheese section of the supermarket for the low-fat variety of this delicious cheese. If you can't find it, you can substitute low-fat Swiss, but the total fat, saturated fat, and sodium of the Swiss will be higher.
