I'm glad that WhitinChi mentioned preserving. Our current industrial food system that allows for all things at all times is not age-old, after all, and people lived in northern climates eating mos...

We drink filtered tap water most of the time now, but for most traditional meals it is sweet tea. I was also surprised it was not an option. As a child, that is what we had every night with suppe...

I receive Gourmet and Bon Appetit (that subscription combo seemed too good to pass up), and I enjoy Gourmet much more than BA, although both are nice. Everyday Food is the one I recommend for new ...

I'm from the South, and my mama would cook for us most days after coming home from working full time: a main meat dish, 2 or 3 veggie dishes, homemade biscuits or brown and serve rolls, sweet tea....

I have a small marble one that we received as a wedding present. Recently, I have been using it about once a week and grinding whole spices in it, after I ran out of ground cumin but had some whol...

I have never even heard of the kiddie food movement, so I don't have an opinion really of it. I do have an opinion about the concept of "Kids should learn more from adults (eat what we eat, learn ...

I'm one of those people with a 100 item adventure list, and I actually have food related items on it! Learn to make fresh pasta (this past fall--the most fantastic food I may have ever created). ...

I cut veggies up and get them out of the way before cutting up any meat, all on the same cutting board. This also keeps me from washing my hands and knife obsessively in the middle of making dinne...

My brother has a good, old-fashioned yard. There's almost always something worth eating growing in it. Last week, it was muscadines, and I enjoyed them greatly. Muscadines and scupp...

Many people I know are allergic to artificial scents, so I am careful about scented candles in my home, period. No scented candles are lit in my home, and the ones I have are not in the kitchen or...

Thanks for the recommendation, I'm always glad to hear about great products from my home state. I do have to say that you need to get out more if you think that your wager is a safe ...

When I first started cooking, I made some sort of cassoulet. My future hubby and I took a bite each, politely tried not to spit, and immediately made other dinner plans while we sat at the table. ...

I am also bothered by the soon-to-be-blended concoction of unpeeled orange wedges and ice. What do you think that will be?
