Reading List: June 3rd

Now that it’s summer I finally have time to conquer the reading list that has grown over the past year until it has taken over an entire shelf of my living room wall.  Here are the battles I’ve won this week: The United States of Arugula by David Kamp.  An interesting overview of the story [...]

How Free Ranging is the Term Free-Range?

I’m just getting back from a lovely week long vacation from school and am reinvigorated for all things food and agriculture related.  So…last post we looked at the benefits of grass-fed beef over corn-fed.  This post I want to discuss the differences between beef from free-range cattle versus those in confinement. Definition: Free-range is a [...]

How to Write about Science

I apologize to my regular readers (this is assuming I have any), but I TA a class on nutrition writing and this post is directed at them. One of the hardest things for most writers to realize is that there does not have to be a difference between the way you talk and the way [...]

A Few Observations

It’s been a month since I last posed and yet I still have a week–a whole week!–before the term is over.  Since my papers and exams don’t allow me to craft a whole post I though I’d just list some interesting, sad, and amusing observations I’ve made this past week.  While waiting in line to [...]

The Future of Food and Nutrition

My lovely readers…thank you! Your sympathy and suggestions about my grading difficulties were incredibly sweet and I appreciated them more than I can say.  The problem with my class has been resolved and not only am I getting the credit, but I didn’t even have to write the paper.  I couldn’t be happier. I wish [...]

French Rolls with Cheese

  Just as when I read The Omnivore’s Dilemma for the first time, reading In Defense of Food: An Eater’s Manifesto has once again piqued my interest in French food. Michael Pollan can do that to you. In response I have started eating French rolls stuffed with soft cheese, and apple, and a cup of [...]

The Vegetarian Epicure, Book Two

I was looking through my cookbooks this week hoping to find something that would inspire me to make a fantastic dinner when I noticed The Vegetarian Epicure Book Two by Anna Thomas hiding away on a top shelf. I was given this cookbook seven Christmases ago by my mother who remembered it from her own [...]

Simple Italian Food: Recipes From my Two Villages

For Christmas I received Mario Batali’s first cookbook as a present. My dad has been interested in this cookbook for years, ever since it came out. I’ve been a little wary of this book. Too often I find that cookbooks written by restaurant owners insist on exotic, expensive ingredients, fussy presentation, and cooking gear that [...]
