THE GREAT PICKLE CONTROVERSY

March 7, 2024 by Darcie
 |  Leave Comment

Somehow I missed this article when it was first published last fall, but Food &
Wine posted about how pickle manufacturers in the US are omitting the word
'pickle' on their jar labels. All of the big names like Vlasic, Mt. Olive, and
B&G have named their products things like 'Hamburg chips' or 'Kosher Dill
Spears' - anything other than… read more

Have you ever encountered measurements in a recipe that just don't add up? I am
not talking about volume or weights (although they can be problematic as well),
but rather about size - thickness, diameter, length or width, etc. Sometimes I
think recipe writers (or cookbook editors) are not very good at math. This has
happened to me a lot… read more

File this under everything old is new again: deviled eggs are the latest trendy
menu item for restaurants. Of course, chefs are all putting their own spin on
the classic, but the basic recipe still provides the underpinning. A few factors
are driving the surge including affordability and customer interest in retro
dishes. Bistro Freddie’s head chef, Anna Sorgaard says… read more

Go to almost any food website and you are sure to encounter several "best"

Last night I placed seasoned and very lightly breaded chicken drumsticks in the
oven to bake at 400 degrees for 45 minutes along with a side dish of loaded
mashed potatoes (think cheesy mashed). At 45 minutes, I went to check them and
they looked great - I flipped them over and turned off the heat to the oven -…

The easy access to AI image generators have made it almost absurdly easy to get
lifelike renditions of scenes that have not and will not ever exist. I've seen
dreamy "libraries" and even entire "houses" rendered by AI tools like Midjourney
and others that were - at first glance - convincingly real. All you need is a
prompt and the… read more

which was no doubt excited to be the home of a surefire bestseller. A few days

WHY ARE THERE SO MANY FOOD RECALLS?

February 24, 2024 by Darcie
 |  7 Comments  |  Leave Comment

If our US Members feel like they are seeing far more food recall notices than
they have seen before, that's because the number of recalls has mushroomed in
the last few years. Since 2018, the amount of food recalls issued by the
Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) have increased by more than 115… read more


AN UNCONVENTIONAL COOKING METHOD CAN SAVE TIME AND WATER

February 22, 2024 by Darcie
 |  3 Comments  |  Leave Comment

When cooking dried pasta, the standard practice is to bring a large amount of
water to a rolling boil before adding the pasta. This can take considerable
time, especially if your stove is not powerful. However, by using a method that
turns the traditional technique on its head, you can shave almost half off the
pasta cooking time and nearly… read more

Growing up in a landlocked state in the middle of the continent (smack dab in
