Veganomicon

July 7th, 2010

veganomicon
I finally caved and purchased a copy of the Veganomicon. I think I may actually like this cookbook more than Moosewood Restaurant Cooks At Home, which is saying something.

Today was pineapple-cashew-quinoa stir-fry. Delicious. Someone less lazy than myself posted the recipe, complete with pictures. You should go make it.

Battle: Hummus

May 8th, 2010

battle-hummus

I can’t write a better summary than that of the BBC article:

Lebanon has claimed the latest victory in the continuing battle with Israel over which country can make the largest serving of hummus.

Lebanon’s in the lead after cooking up a 10-ton vat. The Middle East needs more of this kind of conflict.

Organic Foods

December 7th, 2009

buying organic

After getting into an argument in the grocery store today over who owns Kashi,* I’m posting – for your consumption edification – a chart of which giant corporations own which organic brands. I think everyone knows some of them (Odwalla Coke, etc.), but a few were kinda surprising.

* It’s Kellogg.

How to be Healthy

October 9th, 2009


Amy Goodman of Democracy Now! interviews Michael Pollan on the issue of America’s food supply. Among many other things, they discuss disease outbreaks, the remarkable ability of agribusiness to co-opt organic terminology, the new Secretary of Agriculture, school lunches, and the relationship between food and health care.  This interview was actually recorded way back in May, but I somehow managed to miss it then, so you get to hear about it now.

Pollan has a knack for distilling a lot of good advice into pithy epigrams. Notably, “Don’t buy any food that you’ve ever seen advertised, ” and “Eat food.  Not too much.  Mostly plants.”

Tea Origami

A Russian designer came up with this lovely-but-sadly-nonexistent product. If it was real I would buy it so hard.
