Baking Season’s upon us! With the holidays rapidly approaching... We’ve asked Poconos pros-who-know a few tricks of the trade for impressing Trick or Treaters & taming that comfort food creativity we all succumb to!
YOUR COMPLETE SOURCE FOR COOKWARE!
This Week’s tip comes from Patrice over at Cooks Tour in Mountainhome, a go-to guru of culinary to-do’s! Did you know... one cup of sifted flour is not the same as 1 cup of flour sifted?
Cooks Tour On Routes 191 & 390 in Mountainhome

If the word sifted appears before the word flour in the recipe, then you sift before measuring; but if it reads 1 cup flour sifted, you sift after measuring.
HENCKELS KITCHEN SHEARS
Scanpan Ceramic Titanium Cookware, Cuisinart, Waring & Chef’s Choice Appliances, Henckels, Wusthoff, Zyliss, Peugeot Peppermills, Le Creuset, Microplane, All-Clad, Kaiser Bakeware, Caspari, and a complete array of gadgets, cookware and bakeware for people whose passion is cooking!
Sifting is done to lighten and aerate the recipe, as well as, to remove any possible lumps. Ah— the power of word play, reminding all to read instructions carefully!

This is the “go to” magazine for locals and visitors when you are looking for the latest information on what is taking place in our area. This Week is polished without being fussy. As a local attraction and museum we find this magazine is one of our most useful advertising tools. The staff is a dream to work with as they are professionals who are both talented and personable. This Week in the Poconos has definitely helped us attract more people to our location and we look forward to continuing the very positive relationship we have enjoyed with them.” - Deborah DiPasquale, Director of Marketing for
