McDonald’s and other fast food chains have quietly announced that they will stop selling “Pink Slime” beef – a form of second-grade meat that is treated with a nasty ammonia process to eliminate bacteria. Thanks to national headlines and attention from big name chefs like Jamie Oliver, the USDA-approved process that literally turns dog food into burger me... weiterlesen...

In New York today, more than seventy-five restaurants and food trucks and sixty shopping, fashion, and gift vendors are taking to the streets for the Grub Street Food Festival and the first-ever Grub Street Beer Garden (and no, it's not associated with Occupy Wall Street).
From the folks at Hester Street Fair and New York Magazine, the annual event i... weiterlesen...

Nothing quite tops the rich red and burgundy of a red beet. Whether it be in raviolis or this hummus recipe, they just add so much to a dish, visually speaking. Enjoy this dish with a chilled glass of Pinot Blanc. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

Whenever we talk about the Global food crisis, a lot of time is spent on how we can possibly grow enough food to feed a growing population. But there is another side too—how can we get the food we do grow to mouths that will actually eat it? The shocking truth is that while many go hungry from not having enough food, wealthy nations waste almost half of theirs. ...Read th... weiterlesen...

It's the "only in Britain" category for this one... The British Hen Welfare Trust has proudly announced that it has rescued 20 battery hens and "re-homed" them in a high security prison for women.

The scientist, James Elser of Arizona State University, who is asking if we need a 'Red List' for phosphorous uses the term to raise awareness. Pandas are cute. Phosphorous, on the other hand, is an essential building block of life, without which... weiterlesen...

As an occasional meat eater who loves some fake meats, I can see the value in non-animal product alternatives to meat. But as I discussed in my post on the Vegan Zombie's taste for fake cheese, I've not had as much luck with dairy and egg replacements—with one big exception. Vegenaise.
It's tasty, it's consistent, and it's made with solar ... weiterlesen...

The mission fig is quite possibly my favorite fruit. The fruit's outer layer looks painted on with black and indigo brush marks. And then, when you cut into it--the best part--it reveals its soft pink flesh and those delicate little seeds...it's just beautiful. Plus the flavor does not disappoint. This dish is all about celebrating the mission fig and Na... weiterlesen...

Since moving to North Carolina, I have escaped the ever-depressing war with slugs that every UK gardener is familiar with. While using old beer to trap slugs worked to a degree, my lazivore gardening ways meant that the trap rarely got refilled and the slugs had their way. I fantasized daily about keeping chickens for slug control, but sadly chickens ... weiterlesen...

Something good to eat was yours if you shot straight.. A few feathers for your daughter to insert into her braids. And, some bang..bang exercise before the snows came. Not... weiterlesen...

When I am craving a slice of pie but do not feel like fussing with pie crust, I just bake the fruit instead. It's simple, quick and a whole lot healthier. I chose to finish these peaches with a cardamom yogurt sauce to accent the baked fruit's more savory notes. Enjoy this dessert with a Riesling or a white port. ...Read the full story on TreeHugger

I am a committed lazivore, and a strong believer in the lost eco-art of cutting yourself some slack. So I've always been somewhat skeptical of hardcore green living experiments, like strict 100-mile diets or growing...Read the full story on TreeHugger
