The "new" Bon Appetit (magazine)
I’m with you, and when my subscription runs out in a couple of months, that’s it. What I really, REALLY hate is what I refer to as "S-U-G-A-R" — Selling Under the Guise of Authentic Recipes. Look at all of those...

"Food Entertainment Network" - Enough Already
I totally agree. Without Batali, Ming Tsai and Sara Moulton it’s just not worth my time. I watched to learn from talented and engaging chefs, not to see Paula Dean cackle and pour confectioner’s sugar over a...

Woman sues over lack of avocado in Kraft guacamole

Nectarine dessert at Zuni is just that
I don’t understand why they didn’t slice it at least. A ripe nectarine, though delicious, can be juicy and messy to eat out of hand or to cut at table. Nicely sliced—with a little pitcher of cream and a little...
