Granola Grabbers


Posted by Paul England on Just Baking.
I was looking for a cookie I could bake for a Super Bowl party. I wanted something that was hearty and could hold its own with the various dips, hors d’œuvres, and brownies. These cookies are perfect. Filled with almonds, peanuts, coconut, and raisins, there’s a little something for […]

Benefits of Eating Fish Outweigh the Risks


Posted by Madeline Miller on Fit Fare.
This is one of those possibly controversial posts.  How do I know?  Well, at the Worlds of Healthy Flavors event hosted by the Culinary Institute of America and the Harvard School of Public Health - Department of Nutrition there was much seat shifting and rustling of papers when Dr. Eric Rimm’s presentation was given on the […]

Book Review: Gorgeous: The Sum of All Your Glorious Parts


Posted by Sarah Caron on Fit Fare.
This is one thick book. When I received the Gorgeous: The Sum of All Your Glorious Parts manuscript in the mail, I was floored. It was one of several books I’d received in the span of a week or two and it wasn’t what I expected. I thought it would […]

Indasian Invasion


Posted by Al Rosas on Cook Smarter.
As The Organic Chef, I’m lucky to have some of the most flavorful food to work with and an occupational hazard that I gladly deal with is boredom.  My wife tells me I’m always “ahead of what’s next” in cuisine.  So what’s next?
I’d like to be the first to […]

Cookbook Review: Jamie’s Italy


Posted by Anne Napolitano on Paper Palate.
Jamie Oliver’s latest cookbook, Jamie’s Italy, is very different from his previous books. Italy has always been a passion of his. From the time of his first tv shows, he has always placed an emphasis on pasta and Italian peasant cooking, and this cookbook brings his passion to life.

Wine Sediments Celebrates Great Grape Day


Wine Sediments delved into the delights of Zinfandel/Primitivo earlier this week with January’s Great Grape Day. The intention was not to provide comprehensive coverage of all things Zinfandel, but rather allow the team to provide interesting snippets on a unified theme. As with our last Great Grape Day, which covered Viognier, you won’t find details of planted acreage […]

Comfort In A Crust


Posted by Erika Waz on Kids Cuisine.
Nothing says home like fresh apple pie warm out of the oven.  Hands down, apple pie is the favorite food of our household.  Apple pie is excellent for dessert, for breakfast, for a quick snack with a cup of coffee, or as a side dish to delicately smoked pork.  […]

Raw Milk: Tonic, or Toxic?


Posted by Sarah LeMieux on Fit Fare.
As a nursing mom, as well as a health nut, my interest was doubly piqued when I read a recent article about raw cow’s milk on Salon.com. I already know all the miraculous health benefits of human milk - it confers immunities, prevents allergies, protects against infection - it’s […]
