Every week we bring you our favorite posts from our friends at Serious Eats. This week we learn the proper way to prepare lacinato kale and how to make black and white sesame brittle (the latter of which would make a great hostess gift). Read on for these posts and more!

This perfectly pastel kitchen just outside Tel Aviv belongs to interior designer Merav Sade. Merav, a proponent of Frank Gehry's assertion that "Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness," loves her kitchen (who wouldn't!), with its light blue, grey, and wood tones.

Are you tired of your companion flitting off to various distractions during dinner? Appeal to their considerate side with the Courtesy Table, designed by Dutch designer Marleen Jansen. Can you guess how it works?

I've always preferred eating ice cream out of a bowl, and not just at home. I like the little spoons at ice cream shops, how they enable me to dig in and get a few flavors in one mouthful. I like not worrying about catching all the drips. But I'll admit: it is a little bit of a letdown when I get to the bottom of my non-edible bowl and my companion (say, my husband) is just starting to crunch into his cone, getting ever closer to what we both know will be that last taste of melted ice cream puddled in the bottom tip. Oh, sweet, sweet ending. So, in my effort to stave off any more anti-climactic ice cream experiences, I went looking for the best of both worlds: edible ice cream bowls!

Though at first glance this kitchen is completely not my style (I'm much more of a minimalist), there is something undeniably appealing about it, don't you think? Perhaps it's the varied shades of green (the color of spring peas, or fresh chives) up against the faded Moroccan floor tiles. Or maybe it's the fabulous ceiling mural. Either way, I look at it and I imagine a villa in the countryside, and easy, breezy living. Not bad for a little kitchen dreaming!

Cilantro: you love it or you hate it. However, a new study finds it may not be as simple as that. This study, conducted by scientists at the University of Toronto, found that cilantro aversion varies dramatically between ethnic groups, and could have a genetic component.

Over the past couple years we have reviewed 5 ice cream makers that each get the job done with panache. We looked at the pros and cons, and an array of makers at different price points. Here's a look back at each one of these ice cream makers.

Sean and his wife Sara live in Costa Mesa, California in a 1941 one-bedroom cottage full of interesting details and admirable craftsmanship. The house is a work-in-progress, but the couple is keen on "respectfully and intentionally" maintaining and highlighting the home's vintage details. Sean, a furniture designer, has designed and built a few key pieces in the home, including the walnut table and the breakfast nook in the kitchen.

Pomegranate juice may be tasty, but you probably shouldn't rely on it for significant health benefits. On Monday a judge issued a cease-and-desist order to the makers of Pom Wonderful stating the company had engaged in "false and misleading" advertising for claiming its juice reduces the risks of heart disease, prostate cancer and impotence.

Sorbet is an all-season treat, but my love for it really doesn't hit its peak until the languid months of mid-summer, when ice cream starts to feel a bit too rich, too heavy for my torpid existence. I need something light, cool, and juicy, and sorbet is exactly it. However, this makes it a lovely treat for late spring, too. Here are a few favorite sorbet recipes from our archives, along with a few other special non-dairy frozen treats. (Sweet wine slushies, anyone?)
