Are we getting too nostalgic? (comments 3)

I’ve noticed over the past year or two that there’s been a real trend towards nostalgia in food. Restaurants are serving once-forgotten cuts of meat like lamb shanks and various types of offal; recipe books full of ‘just like grandma used to make’ recipes abound. We seem to have quite an idealised backward view of how our grandparents used to eat. We think of it as a golden age when everything was pure and natural and healthy and made from scratch. more>

Healthy chef... is there such a thing?

I love eating in restaurants. It’s such a thrill to have someone else cook for me, no matter whether it’s a lowly café or full-on fine dining.

What's really going on with our meat? (comments 1)

Sometimes stories about food pop up in the media, create a flurry of comment and indignation, and then disappear, leaving in their wake the germ of a myth. This is what seemed to me to happen with a recent story about the 'gassing' of meat. more>

Potato potato potato......

How would you feel about eating nothing but potatoes for two months? That’s what one keen potato promoter in the USA has decided to do. Chris Voigt is executive director of the Washington State Potato Commission. He’s pledged to eat nothing but potatoes for two months, and what’s more he’s not eating them with toppings or side dishes or embellishments – just plain potatoes; up to 20 a day. more>
