Ifs, Ands, and Nuts On summer memories and politically correct peanut butter	Roz Cummins	31 May 2007	'Tis the Season
The cool, sunny mornings this time of year always remind me of setting off to work each day during the first few months that I spent living in Boston. It was the summer between my junior and senior year of college, and I was working for a feminist newspaper located in an old factory near MIT. On their way to the chopping block.

Just My Potluck On slow food, communal eating, and Reubenesque sandwiches	Roz Cummins	17 May 2007	'Tis the Season
This is the last in a series of articles about connecting with people over spring meals. Read others on setting up a dining co-op, celebrating Passover, hosting an Earth Dinner, and appreciating slow food. In my last column, I wrote about the slow-food movement, which unites people interested in flavors, food preservation, and, of course, eating. The movement is international in its scope and imp ...

Haste Makes Waste Savor your flavors with the slow-food movement	Roz Cummins	02 May 2007	'Tis the Season
This is the fourth in a series of articles about connecting with people over food. Read others on setting up a dining co-op, celebrating Passover, and hosting an Earth Dinner. When I told a friend that I was writing an article about slow food, she said, "What's that? The opposite of fast food?" In a word, yes. Carlo Petrini. Photo: slowfood.de The first time I heard about the slow-food movement ...

Thought for Food Earth Dinners keep cuisine and conversation flowing	Roz Cummins	19 Apr 2007	'Tis the Season
This is the third installment in a series about connecting with friends and family over specific meals; the first was an introduction to dining co-ops, the second a celebration of Passover. At a recent dinner party, I pulled out my deck of Earth Dinner cards. The first one asked, "Who in your life really understands how to make the food you love?" Two raisin-hating men at the table tenderly ...

Say it ain't so, Mario A great chef pimps his name for industrial food	Tom Philpott	04 Apr 2007	Gristmill
Mario Batali is a great chef and restaurateur. I've never had the chance to eat at his celebrated restaurants Babbo and Del Posto, but I have eaten several times at Otto, his relatively modest pizza joint in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The food there is very, very good. (Try the gelato -- especially the incredibly delicate olive oil one. Or go with affogato -- a scoop of vanilla gelato 'drowned' in a shot of espresso.) I've also cooked from his cookbooks. Like all g ...

'Tis the season (to celebrate our ties to the earth) A sampling of recipes for Passover	Roz Cummins	30 Mar 2007	Gristmill
Over the next few weeks, I will be writing about meals that express our connection to and appreciation for the earth. In keeping with this theme, I'll start with Marge Piercy's new book, Pesach for the Rest of Us: Making the Passover Seder Your Own. My interest in seders (the meal served at Passover) started when I was in high school and worked as a 'hostess helper' for families who were hosting seders. Having been raised Catholic, I had never experienced a seder befo ...

'Tis the Season (for earth and wallet-friendly beans) Beans, beans, good for your recipe	Roz Cummins	24 Mar 2007	Gristmill
In keeping with the recent topics of eating low on the food chain for environmental reasons (e.g., beans instead of meat) and cooking for a crowd, I dug out an old recipe for a curried red lentil soup with an apple cider or pear juice base, so I could double it to serve 10-12 people instead of 5-6. I've always been told that to double a recipe, you should double the basic ingredients but not the spices. What I do is adjust the spices by slowly adding small increments ...

Recipe for a Revolution How a cookbook renaissance heated up the sustainable-food movement	Tom Philpott	15 Feb 2007	Victual Reality
In the postmodern United States, a cultural critic laments, "The pleasures of the table are rarely appreciated at face value." ��Speak truth to flour. A near-hysterical concern with health has replaced common sense, he continues, leading to all manner of dubious decisions: "Americans blithely drink sodas filled with artificial flavors and sweeteners, yet paste ...

'Tis the season (for a romantic dinner ... for eight!) Roz Cummins whips up Valentine vittles	Roz Cummins	14 Feb 2007	Gristmill
I don't know about you, but sometimes it just seems like more fun to have dinner with a group of friends -- those who are single and those who aren't -- on Valentine's Day than with just one person. Why? Well, let me put it this way: having dinner with just one person, no matter how beloved that person is, does not guarantee that your evening will be a romantic one. Case in point: A few years ago I called a former beau to ask if he wanted to go out to dinner, as we we ...

'Tis the Season (for recycled desserts and Napoleon as locavore) Make your leftover Xmas sweets into something yummy	Roz Cummins	02 Jan 2007	Gristmill
In my experience, even a calm and pleasant holiday results in a house strewn with bits of paper, empty boxes filled with styrofoam peanuts, a guilt-inducing list of thank-you notes to be written, and a fridge full of leftovers. Here are three recipes for 'recycled' holiday desserts that turn less-than-enjoyable ingredients into actual treats: Deanna Dement-Myers' Boxing Day Trifle My friend Deanna explained Boxing Day Trifle (the day after Christmas is known as Boxin ...

A thunderous 'No!' to faux guacamole A Krafty concoction of hydrogenated goo gets its day in court.	Tom Philpott	13 Dec 2006	Gristmill
Do I live in an ethanol bubble? Yes I do, for another day or so. But I'm coming up for air for long enough to give the finger to Kraft, the world's largest branded food conglomerate, for ripping off and desecrating one of the world's greatest food items. Kraft's heinous Guacamole Dip contains about 2 percent avocado, which is a little like marketing a Martini with 2 percent gin and the rest, well, corn liquor (ethanol). A woman in California is suing Kraft, arguin ...

'Tis the Season (for extreme grocery shopping) Two non-turkey recipes for the Thanksgiving feast	Roz Cummins	19 Nov 2006	Gristmill
Thanksgiving is a funny holiday. It's a weird mix of frenzy and sloth, gratitude and greed. What should be a fun and peaceful time spent with relatives and friends is often preceded by the chaos of having too much to do and too little time in which to do it. If you are the person responsible for cooking the Thanksgiving meal, you know that Extreme Grocery Shopping is the hallmark of the holiday. Simply getting your groceries home can be the stuff of nightmares if y ...

Back to the Garden Two new photo books focus on food	Tom Philpott	09 Feb 2006	Arts and Minds
In the valuable new book Fields of Plenty: A Farmer's Journey in Search of Real Food and the People Who Grow It, author Michael Ableman rambles across the country in a VW van, visiting small-scale farmers to talk with them at the table and in the field. Vine and dandy. Photo: Chrissi Nerantzi. Not surprisingly, he encounters an array of colorful characters, including Bob Cannard, a celebrated Northern California mic ...
