You may have seen TikTok videos about the 'fridge-scaping' trend, where people decant everything they buy at the grocery store and put it into clear containers that so that all of your produce, cheese, and other items are on display and tidily organized in matching jars. Whether you believe that this is gorgeous and amazing or shake your head at… read more

The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show – Week 3 – Bread 2024
October 13, 2024 by Jenny
We said farewell to Jeff last week who left due to illness and Hazel was eliminated after a poor showing with cookies. This week was bread - which is never my favorite week. There is always too much under or over proofing and far too many shots of Paul's fingers diving into the dough. I feel so much stress for… read more

Barbara Lynch is closing all of her Boston-area restaurants
October 10, 2024 by Darcie
Last year we reported on a scandal involved revered Boston chef Barbara Lynch in which former employees recounted tales of alleged abuse and harassment at her restaurants. Lynch's rags-to-riches story was chronicled in a 2017 memoir that recounted her rise from a hard-knocks South Boston childhood to culinary stardom. The James Beard Award-winning chef shuttered a handful of restaurants in the wake… read more
The book lover’s workout plan
October 10, 2024 by Darcie
Every book collector faces the same dilemma, usually on multiple occasions: adding a new bookcase to house the ever-growing number of books that they have accumulated. Often this includes moving the bookcases, necessitating the removal and reinstallation of all the books. This should be marketed as a book lover’s workout plan, because I loathe exercise but have no issue with… read more
Beans, beans are good for your heart…
October 8, 2024 by Darcie
Beans and other legumes have never been hotter, even though 2016 was officially the International Year of the Pulses (aka legumes). Whether it's viral "dense bean salad" videos, articles on easy ways to use beans and how to fall in love with them, or cookbooks devoted to the subject, the once-humble bean has been getting a glow up. As a… read more

The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show – Week 2 – Biscuit 2024
October 5, 2024 by Jenny
The old saying "They are dropping like flies" is appropriate for this week's episode. I think that saying is a misnomer, however, because I've been trying to kill a fly for three weeks now - and it keeps coming back to haunt me. I think I got him and then just like Michael Myers in the Halloween movies - boom… read more
Apple cider season is here
October 4, 2024 by Darcie
While the weather here has been suggesting that summer doesn't want to let go, it finally relented this week with chilly evenings and crisp, sunny days. That means it is time to hit up the local orchards in search of tasty apples. I am fortunate to live in an area where many of the best-loved varieties in the US were… read more

A simple, classic dish makes a comeback
October 2, 2024 by Darcie
Saveur Magazine has rarely let me down since I first started reading it in 2009, so when I spied an article about oeufs mayonnaise being the "it" dish of 2024, I had to click on it even though this is the first time the alleged hyper-trending dish has come to my attention. Maybe I'm just not getting out enough, but… read more

October 1, 2024 by Darcie
The International Longshoremen's Association walked off the job at 36 ports from Maine to Texas at midnight Tuesday, the first such strike in almost 50 years. The strike comes as workers were protesting wages and the threat of automation, among other issues.

Does it feel like you've been seeing more food cross-branding partnerships lately? It's not your imagination, food companies are doing collaborations in increasing numbers. One of the latest was Coca-Cola Oreos paired with Oreo-flavored Coke Zero. This follows on the heels of things like Hidden Valley Ranch ice cream and Dr. Pepper Peeps. Are consumers demanding these pop-culture mashups? Eater's… read more
The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show – Week 1 – Cake 2024
September 28, 2024 by Jenny
The bakers are back in the tent and once again the opening segment had my tired eyes rolling a bit. Barbie themed it was and a bit over-the-top. I had to chuckle when the American baker, Jeff, said, "It doesn't matter if you win or lose as long as you win." There is that American sportsmanship. Ironically, the tent was… read more

Art in (and of) the kitchen
September 25, 2024 by Darcie
Visit any art museum and you will find food depicted in a large number of the paintings on display. There are many reasons painters choose the subjects of food and dining: food contains a lot of symbolism, and as Anne Ewbank points out in a recent Gastro Obscura article, food paintings "also were a way for artists to flex their… read more
