Giveaway: LG EasyClean Double Oven Range + Korean Kalbi Baby Back Ribs Recipe

Fri, 24 May 2013 15:35:44 EDT

The nearest good Korean BBQ restaurant is over an hour drive away, simply too far when the best accompaniment to Korean BBQ is several super-cold OB beer alternating with sips of chilled soju (Korean rice alcohol, like Japanese sake). That's why we love making Korean food at home, but it also means that I have to . . .

Fri, 24 May 2013 15:00:00 EDT

Who: FaberWhat We Noticed: I am always so obsessed with range hoods when I visit these big kitchen trade shows.

In the spring and summer, I flock towards big, bold colors in the kitchen: the bright greens of asparagus and peas, the vibrant yellow of lemons, the red hues of strawberries and raspberries. In addition to bright color, after a winter of routine meals and not-so-inspiring produce, I also reach for interesting new flavors. Lately, I've landed on rose petals and rose water. More ...

Reinventing Farming For A Changing Climate

Fri, 24 May 2013 13:00:00 EDT

Scientists say climate change could increase pests and weeds, lengthen growing seasons and turn dry soil to dust. Farmers are already on the offensive, adopting no-till cropping methods to conserve water and experimenting with different seeds. And scientists are using a technique called gene silencing to develop new crops--without tinkering with the plants' DNA.

Sunday Morning Kumquat Jam

I think this happened last Saturday, but let’s pretend it was Sunday because “Sunday Morning Kumquat Jam” sounds better than “Saturday Morning Kumquat Jam.” Having made my coffee, and contemplating breakfast, I stared at the leftover kumquats sitting in a mesh bag on my counter. They were starting to wrinkle a bit, losing their potency. [...]

Vintage Food PSA Posters: Eating and Cooking Tips from Uncle Sam

Fri, 24 May 2013 12:30:00 EDT

Remember this Food: Don't Waste It poster that Anjali wrote about back in January? It was created in 1917 by the U.S Food Administration as part of a national effort to get people to reduce their consumption of certain staples during World War I. I've since come across a number of other food public service announcement posters from that time, and it's a fascinating how relevant and, well, modern, some of them sound. More ...

What To Do With Whey: Greek Yogurt's Popularity, and Its Acid Whey Problem — Food News

Fri, 24 May 2013 10:30:00 EDT

I read a very interesting article this morning in Modern Farmer. Apparently Greek yogurt's ascendant popularity in recent years has created a not-so-insignificant problem: acid whey waste. Acid, or sour, whey — the liquid that runs off when you strain yogurt or cottage cheese — is a troublesome byproduct: it's toxic to the natural environment, yet not easy to integrate back into the workings of a factory or farm. So what can big food companies do with the acid whey? More ...

Chicken salad is a favorite treat in my household. Even though it's a simple recipe with easy to find ingredients, there's still something fancy about it. So while it makes a nice lunch for guests — either in a sandwich or served on a bed of lettuce — I sometimes make up a batch for when it's just me and I need a pick-me-up. This recipe is an old favorite, a real a classic that can easily be adapted to all manner of delicious variations and additions. Perfect for picnics and pot lucks, too! More ...

On Saying No to Paleo: Why Eating Isn't One Size Fits All

Fri, 24 May 2013 07:30:00 EDT

I live in Los Angeles, which means I'm always hearing about other people's diets. Raw food, $75-per-day juice cleanses, space food, the cookie diet...you name it, and there is a good chance I know someone who has tried it. When the paleo diet swept through my circle of friends, I felt a little like an outcast, still hanging onto my whole grains and legumes. I know I am a healthy eater — yet it was hard to resist the judgement that I was somehow eating a "bad" diet. So it was a relief to read a thoughtful, honest article by food writer and former naturopathic doctor, Winnie Abramson, on why the paleo diet — and diets in general — don't work for her. More ...
