The Crunchie Experience


Posted by Jamie Liu on Sugar Savvy.

It’s always interesting to do searches on the production of various sweets, and learn a little history. I did a search on Cadbury’s Crunchie bar, just to get a few ideas, not expecting much information about the bar. This bar was first launched by J.S. Fry in 1929, and […]

Best Pizza Recipe EVER!!!


Posted by Scott Phillips on Get Your Grill On.

Not to take anything away from Todd and Michael’s pizzas, here’s another pizza post.
Henceforth, I think all my entries here may be entitled “Best ______ Recipe EVER!!!” Whether my recipe for hummus is in fact “The Best Ever” is debatable, it certainly gets more hits than anything else here. What’s […]

The Matter of The Crust


Posted by Erika Waz on Kids Cuisine.
My daughter has always eschewed the crusts on her sandwiches. Don’t ask me where it came from, but from her very first sandwiches up to today, those crusty edges of bread have always been discreetly deposited to the side of her lunch plate. When she started school, I began […]

The Athlete Gourmet - An Introduction to Delicious Energy


Posted by Sara Maamouri on Fit Fare.
When I began running, around six years ago, I thought that it would be a great way to lose weight. I’d head out of my house in the afternoon, after work, and run away from my house, counting the blocks until I started feeling tired and then I’d turn […]

Blending It Up, the Ashworth Way


Posted by Donavan on The Spirit World.
Last summer when I was visiting Seattle and Tacoma (and a number of brew pubs in between), I picked up a book by home brew guru Charlie Papazian entitled Microbrewed Adventures. The book is a loose and episodic beery autobiography of one of homebrewing’s most enthusiastic proponents.
About a hundred […]

Eyeball Benders - Volume 1


Posted by Wayne Nelson on The Cook’s Kitchen.
I thought it might be fun to have a photographic quiz of sorts. Below are 14 pictures of common items or products. Most are found in the kitchen but not all of them are. All of the photographs have been cropped to some degree to disguise their identity. Some […]

Review - The Desperate Housewives Cookbook


Posted by Freya Erickson on Paper Palate.
First things first. I have never watched Desperate Housewives. This review of The Desperate Housewives Cookbook (hereafter referred to as TDHC) will be based purely on the usability of the book and the success of the recipes, based on my own experimentation.
What I know about the show is that […]

Begum Palace in Madison, NJ


Posted by Cate O’Malley on Well Fed on the Town.
When The Husband and I lived in Madison, our next door neighbors, who are Indian, introduced us to Indian food. Never having really been exposed to it before, it was quite the culinary journey for us. Now, many years later, and no longer neighbors, we owe […]

Clay Pot Cooking


Posted by Danielle S. on The Cooks Kitchen.
Over the past year or so, I have accumulated a decent number of clay pots. I seem to be collecting them, in fact. Not just because they are beautiful (and they are, oh yes), but because they are some of the most useful cooking vessels I have ever […]
