The Great American Cookie?
Tamara Mattison
Friday, March 5th, 2010
Yes, it's true. Most experts agree that Fortune Cookies are another great American invention. These thin, crisp cookies, folded so that a slip of paper with a fortune can be placed inside, are probably not even Chinese. There is much debate over the origin of these tiny treats, but in the U.S.A., they have become a staple dessert in Chinese cuisine.

Most people go to Hawaii and come back with a tan. Susan O'Brien went to Maui on vacation and came home with a new vocation. She and her husband met Renée Loux, host of the Fine Living network's It's Easy Being Green, who gave Susan a copy of her raw-food cookbook, Living Cuisine: The Art and Spirit of Raw Foods. Susan put her novel aside and by the time she got home had committed to a whole new lifestyle.

Italian Food
Buon Appetito!

My dad has been on a cannoli kick lately. By that, I mean he has been furiously making batches of homemade cannoli for the past couple of weeks. As a full blooded Italian, food has always been a large part of my life. Italians not only embrace the beauty of a home cooked meal, but they actively make it a central part of their culture.

Judy: Amy and Karla told me that they're glad to be on the elimination diet through the holidays. It keeps them mindful of their eating and makes it easier to avoid the foods they know they don't need. I'm glad they feel that way. It can be tough to contend with holiday treats when you feel deprived. They are still focused on the goal and are realizing great benefit from staying focused.

Sometimes the people on Food TV chop so fast you hope they'll still have fingers when the onions are finished. Now you can prep onions with that same super speed and your fingers will be perfectly safe.

We’ve all learned a lot watching Food TV: how to make those little drip things on the plate as they do in fancy restaurants, that you should not put tomatoes in the refrigerator, and how to enthrall a nation with one word, BAM!

The Dirty Dozen

Thursday, July 16th, 2009

If you’ve never stood in the grocery store weighing the cost of an organic fruit against the price of its conventional cousin, you may stand alone. Most of us are reluctant to pay three or four times more for organic fruits and vegetables because we’re not sure how much better the organic produce is. The good news is that Environmental Working Group (EWG) has done the hard work for us.

My mother used to say that eggs made her mean. I assumed she didn’t like eggs and had come up with an excuse so solid that her six children wouldn’t get ideas about refusing to eat what we didn’t like. Now I’m not so sure. Foods do affect our moods. If we pay close attention we can often identify the culprits.

The jig is up. After months of being fed and feted by friends, it’s your turn to host a function. If you’re looking for something different, lots of fun, and more affordable than the usual options, have a cooking party.

Like many of us, I grew up with freshly baked breads. My mother and grandmother baked bread.  White bread, whole wheat bread, multigrain organic bread, white dinner rolls.  All kinds.
