A celebration of perhaps our finest food writer. But how to pick just 20 recipes from a stellar career of more than 50 years. Some choose themselves: definitive chicken soup from The Book of Jewish Food; essential orange and almond cake from A New Book of Middle Eastern Food. But here, too, are apple latkes, tarte pissaladière, roast chicken with couscous, raisin and almonds. There’s white haricot beans with clams from Spain, fish soup with saffron from the south of […]

In this week’s column, Nonie De Long debunks the myths about low-fat diet that was deemed to be beneficial for health Dear Readers, This week’s question comes from my experience teaching nutrition in an addiction treatment centre. I ran a program that taught the clients nutrition for addiction recovery, including healthy eating habits and cooking skills. I noticed that the clients were shocked to find some foods branded as “healthy” were not. At the top of this list were low-fat […]
The Food and Drug Administration is warning parents and teens about “very unsafe” social media trends, including a recent one that has begun trending online involving cooking chicken in NyQuil. The challenge — which the FDA called “silly and unappetizing” and “very unsafe” — encourages people to cook chicken in NyQuil or another similar over-the-counter cough and cold medication before eating it. It is unclear how many people have participated in this trend even though the FDA has taken the […]
Barbecue season may have passed, but all grilling – outdoor or indoor – imparts an addictive smokiness to food. Today’s Turkish salad uses the initial energy of the flames; I love tumbling veg on to a barbecue (or griddle pan), where the high heat cooks them quickly, which helps keep them juicy. And just about everyone loves elotes, a Mexican street food of grilled and dressed sweetcorn. Mind you, everything is better cooked over fire or scorched. Grilled elotes (pictured […]

In Missoula County, a program helps engage kids to play at recess. Up in Browning, an organization’s need-based food pantry provides healthy foods as part of the effort to combat health problems. The two programs are examples of ways Montana communities have worked to address childhood obesity, a problem that affects Montana less severely than most of the country but still causes concern in the Big Sky state. A 2006 report from the state of Montana pointed out that while […]
In some matters it’s not so good to come out on top, and that’s definitely the case regarding obesity ratings in Southside. Statewide, federal data shows about one in seven students are obese and by the 12th grade, 17.4% of the student population are overweight. The County Health Rankings & Roadmaps, a program of the University of Wisconsin Population Health Institute, show 39% of adults in Henry County are obese and Patrick County is at 33%. And logic would dictate […]
CHICAGO — Watch out, ketchup, mustard and mayo. During the pandemic, consumers learned how to manipulate food flavors and textures to meet their preferences, and there’s no going back. Now, condiment formulators are exploring all types of mashups, including unique carriers, global fusions and varied consistencies, all intended to wow consumers. “People want more and bolder flavors, and condiments are great delivery vehicles for new experiences,” said Ryan Kukuruzovic, corporate chef, Wixon, Saint Francis, Wis. That’s what the Kraft Heinz Co., […]
For some, a 30-minute meal is a super-quick fix. For others, it’s a longer than they usually spend making dinner. For me, however, whether it’s midweek or when we have friends over at the weekend, it’s pretty much where I’m at. On the one hand, 30 minutes is no time at all – it’s an episode of something quick on TV, a podcast listen or a catch-up with a buddy on the phone – but it’s also enough time to […]
