 |  3 Comments  |  Leave Comment
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

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

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.

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

You scream, I scream, we all scream for ice cream, and then we throw it at each other.

TikTok user Olivia Maher has been credited with coining the phrase 'girl dinner' after posting a video that described how medieval peasants ate, describing it as being terrible because they had nothing to eat but bread, cheese, and perhaps a few vegetables. However, Maher went on to say it was her “ideal meal” before panning to a plate containing of… read more
