April 30, 2025 by
 |  Leave Comment
Chicken nuggets are something you buy for your picky four-year-old, not something you would expect on a fine dining menu, right?

Easy chicken nuggets from Weelicious Lunches… read more

It works slightly differently to an individual membership, allowing access directly to the recipe search from a QR code or short URL that the library supplies to their patrons. The library patrons cannot make any changes to the library… read more

The Dubai chocolate craze, which started at the end of 2023, shows little sign of abating, with chocolatiers and home cooks alike serving up their version of this delicious treat. The original contained crisp kataifi combined with pistachio paste enrobed in milk chocolate, and while others have varied the crispy part and the type of chocolate, one constant remains: pistachios.… read more

A good time to stock up the spice drawer

There's an elephant in the room that home cooks in the US cannot ignore: the effect that tariffs might have on their grocery bills. Most of the herbs and spices used in American kitchens come from outside of the US, so it's wise to stock up on these items (as well as other flavorings like vanilla beans or extract) before… read more

Rejoice, rhubarb season has arrived!

One of my favorite moments each spring is when my rhubarb plants poke through last year's leaves with their tightly furled, ruffled leaves. I am a sucker for tart and sour flavors, so not only is the rhubarb a sign that spring has finally arrived, it also marks the beginning of puckery treats from my kitchen and rosy pink drinks… read more

There is a food holiday of sorts coming up on Sunday that isn't Easter or associated with any spring festivals. Cannabis aficionados will be celebrating 4/20 (here's why this date is associated with marijuana) and of course smoking pot leads to 'the munchies' making this a food-associated event. But does THC actually lead to food cravings? Not everyone believes that… read more

Spring has arrived across much of the northern hemisphere, though here in Colorado we will be experiencing a snowy Easter!

Food labeling in the United States is...interesting, to say the least. Some terms that companies use on their labels are not defined and are mainly unregulated, such as grass-fed and sustainable. Others are regulated but the terms do not necessarily mean what consumers think they do including cage-free and natural. One term that is regulated by the USDA surprised me… read more
