This last week I was visiting my favorite indoor farmer’s market and I ran across the guys from Ely Farms dropping off a shipment of peppers and other goodies. As I was talking to them, I noticed they had a large crate of eggplants, but they weren’t purple. They were white. I inquired and they told me that this was an experiment they were trying out and hadn’t...

Emily Freeman (a pal of mine with a PhD who is working on an obesity prevention framework for both the US and Canada) has a habit of digging up news stories that shows...

Have you ever stopped to look at all the restaurants you pass while you drive around? Competing for your attention among the bright fast food signs there are usually small “mom and pop” businesses sitting there, waiting for you to stop by. Recently I found myself being invited to join snekse (from Gastronomic Fight Club) and his family for lunch at Han Kuk Kwan. ...

Have you ever paged through a cookbook and come across something so interestingly different that you felt the need to make it? This happened to me the other day. I was going through some of my older cookbooks (some of which I had never tried anything from) and as I paged through Jewish Cooking by Marlena Spieler I saw it.
