By the Pound
I like joints that sell barbecued meats by the pound. In the Northeast, you’ll see this at RUB (NYC), Fette Sau (Brooklyn), Wilson’s (Fairfield CT) and Bendle-Bean’s (Pembroke MA). This method gives you the ultimate flexibility to create any combo you want and eat as […]

Posted by Hannah Kaminsky on Sugar Savvy.

Few sweets are quite as welcoming to a novice baker or cook first entering the world of homemade candies as fudge. Don’t be scared off by recipes that call for boiling sugar to temperatures sounding comparable to the surface of the sun, or ingredient lists sourcing oddities such as […]

Why Your Baby Can’t Be a Vegan


Posted by Julie Tilsner on Kids Cuisine.
I wasn’t going to say anything. Some things you really shouldn’t bring up in Berkeley, home of the Free Speech movement 40 years ago. But there were some hard-core vegetarians in our student family complex at U.C. Berkeley, and I used to worry about their kids.
They were so skinny. […]

MySpace Attacked by Next Food Network Stars!

The Food Network is not kidding around with its promotion of The Next Food Network Star.  Each and every contestant has their own MySpace page and all of them are coordinated.

The Athlete Gourmet - Building A Better Baked Good


Posted by Sara Maamouri on Fit Fare.
As I mentioned in the last installment of The Athlete Gourmet, you shouldn’t deny yourself the occasional sweet treat. However, if made properly, cookies and muffins may not even have to fall into the reward category. They could be the perfect pre-run energy or mid-morning snack. The key is […]
