In this edition of Bookmarks, some serious topics to start…then items on the lighter side: information on cooking with paprika and scrambling eggs, followed by some science and pop culture fun.
In this edition of Bookmarks, the impact of the Land Back movement, the lowdown on the “gut health” obsession, plus advice on salting your food, storing cooked rice and creating a tasty frittata that uses up leftovers. And, might we finally be seeing the end of white kitchens?
Are Brie and Camembert endangered cheeses? Plus, intermittent fasting, plant protein and healthy aging, and–in the kitchen–how to improve stir-fries and use up stale bread. All in this edition of Bookmarks, along with ruminations on the humble and woefully inadequate pizza box.
I served my pulled jackfruit on a wholegrain bun with Alabama White Sauce and a side of coleslaw. It was very good and has inspired me to cook with jackfruit more often.
In this edition, the controversy surrounding salted tea, warnings about sugar in gummy supplements and caffeine in “charged” drinks, and the very interesting history of Surinamese rice. Plus, tips on how to store chocolate.
Topics include: sugar, food fraud, rethinking how or whether we should eat chicken, and why food expiry dates (mostly) don’t matter.
