Bookmarks

In this Mother’s Day edition of Bookmarks: culinary legacies and the healing power of cooking. 

In this edition of Bookmarks: advice on using up leftovers, changing lifestyle and eating habits for better gut health, knowing when to stop mixing batter, interesting uses of hot sauce and fun facts about fungi.

In this edition of Bookmarks, a mixed bag: the decanting trend and its larger meaning; vintage Pyrex; renewed appreciation for breadmakers; the importance of both lifestyle and food in the Mediterranean diet; lox vs. smoked salmon; and why chocolate feels so good to eat.

In this edition of Bookmarks, looking at the cost of food–the impact of climate change on food prices, how higher food prices affect restaurant menus, and the need to price restaurant meals in a way that reflects their true value, especially in the context of the culture they come from. Plus fungi and dough hooks.

For my first bookmarks post of the new year, I’m going in a slightly different direction than in the past. Instead of links to articles, I’m sharing the names of some books I’ve read recently and highly recommend.

In this edition of Bookmarks, concerns about ultra-processed foods, plus popcorn, pie crust, sea moss, and cake on the go.
