Website takes “jump to the recipe” to a new level
February 3, 2024 by Darcie
A perennial complaint from people looking for recipes on the internet is that they have to slog through countless photos and irrelevant stories before they eventually get to the recipe. This has led some bloggers to add a hyperlink at the top of each post so that those who don't want to read the story can easily jump to the… read more

January 30, 2024 by Darcie
Have you seen any videos of the latest cake decorating trend? It's popped up in the last couple of days on my social media feeds, and this trend is literal fire. According to an article on Eater, "Burn-away cakes have gotten over 174 million views on TikTok since they gained traction on the platform earlier this month." So what is a burn-away… read more

What’s going on with butter?
December 28, 2023 by Darcie
Every year since the early 2000s, I have made multiple batches of English toffee to give away during the holidays. For only the second time ever in this time span I encountered total toffee failure: the emulsion split, leaving me with a grainy caramel sitting in pools of fat. I chalked up the outcome to rushing the process and/or stirring… read more

The Great British Bake Off/Baking Show – Week 4 – Chocolate Recap
October 21, 2023 by Jenny
Last week's disappointing bread week sent Abbi home. There were articles published which hinted that bread week could cause the GBBO to lose the "feel good" momentum it had been building. Let's hope not. Of course, if it is chocolate week, that means scorching hot temperatures in the tent. Get these folks some air conditioners. So hot that Tasha fell… read more

When you can’t look away
October 12, 2023 by Darcie
I'll begin this post with a disclaimer: I am not on TikTok and have no plans to join any time soon. When I report on TikTok trends it's because I learned about them via someone's cross-shared post on Instagram or through an online article, like Aaron Hutcherson's latest in The Washington Post. He discusses the reasons we are attracted to… read more

History of the BLT
September 14, 2023 by Darcie
I'm not alone in searching for the background of a particular dish; historians and food writers have been doing this for ages. Chef Farideh Sadeghin likewise enjoys digging into food history, in this case the history of the BLT sandwich. As a huge fan of BLTs myself (but only when I can get my hands on fresh garden tomatoes), this… read more
Angel hair pasta is back
August 23, 2023 by Darcie
I was puzzled when I saw the tweet from Eater stating that angel hair pasta was making a comeback. "Had it ever really left?" I wondered. As I discovered, this is only because I live with an angel hair fanatic: every time I ask what pasta he would like to accompany the sauce I plan to make, the answer is… read more

The latest TikTok food fad isn’t cool, it’s cold
July 26, 2023 by Darcie
You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream, and then we throw it at each other. If the latter half of that sentence sounds bizarre to you, that's because you have not yet seen the latest TikTok trend where ice cream shop workers throw a scoop of their product at another team member. Food and Wine dubs this… read more
