Big news! There have been hints on my twitter feed for months now, but all of the pieces have been made public, so I can make at least the first of my big announcements:
The Food Geek is now a regularly appearing column in Fine Cooking Magazine. The first column, which is about the Maillard reactions [...]
To start of the new year properly, Mike Tremoulet, a.k.a. @coffeemike, has compiled the Twitter Cookbook. It’s a collection of recipes from folks on twitter, compiled into a single book that available electronically or, for the cost of creation*, a print on demand book.
There is a Food Geek recipe on there, but I think the [...]
The Ideas in Food folk, Aki Kamozawa and H. Alexander Talbot, have a regular food science column called “Kitchen Alchemy.” The most recent one I’ve seen is Making Vinegar at Home. As we have discussed, I’m a big fan of making things that people normally don’t think they can make, and vinegar definitely qualifies. This [...]
Serious eats asks:
And I say that I’ll do my part right away.
The Food Timeline is a, er, timeline of food. Food history, rather. It’s a series of links organized by time, telling us important tidbits and giving us a chance to understand the context. For example, I did not realize that the koolickle (Kool-aid Pickle) [...]

Khymos.org has wrapped up its most recently flavor pairing challenge “They Go Really Well Together” (TGRWT) #11: Banana and Cloves. The TGRWT challenges are a general web challenge to create new dishes that use a non-traditional flavor pairing.
I have not participated in the TGRWT challenges yet, but they’re always fascinating. I wrote about them [...]
Automated bookmarking site Alltop, from Guy Kawasaki, has added a new channel: bacon. Because bacon makes everything better, Alltop is now instantly better. So if you feel you don’t have enough bacon in your life, visit the Bacon Channel on Alltop.
It looks like it has 18 bacon-specific newsfeeds, for roughly 90 bacon stories at [...]
I didn’t think this was going to happen, but Bakewise, the new book by Shirley O. Corriher, is available on the Kindle. If you bake, and you use the Kindle, buy it now. I am.
Okay, after having endless problems with Drupal (the lastest being that comments weren’t posting, so sorry if you posted and it was lost), I’ve switched to WordPress. I’m not keen to change blogging software after this, so feel free to make an account and comment or what have you to show me that things do [...]
