Oddly enough, even though I’ve lived in Columbus for the better part of 15 years now, I had never been to Comfest . I don’t know what exactly kept me away – the traffic nightmares, the horror stories, maybe knowing that it wasn’t Paul’s thing and that he would “harsh my mellow”, so to speak – in any case, year after year passed by without me going, and then looking at the pictures and stories of those who had gone, and wishing I had too. This year, Slow Food Columbus was sharing a booth with Snowville Creamery , and I volunteered to talk to folks and answer questions for three hours Sunday afternoon

My parents arrived at my apartment bearing an assortment of 25 gifts – it was like Chanukah times 3.33! – and many were food-related, such as a beautiful Teavana tea set, spicy chipotle rub, potato scrubbing gloves (awesome!), cupcake lip gloss, Barbie fruit snacks (because they apparently think I still like playing with Barbie dolls), Food Lovers’ Guide to Massachusetts, and A Baker’s Field

I’ve been spoiled rotten with regards to berries – the beginning of summer, while it means that strawberries are just about gone for the season, also means that raspberries, blueberries, and soon blackberries are all available instead. I went a little raspberry crazy last weekend, and between those, the mulberries from my backyard tree, and the blueberries that I’ve been harvesting from the bushes I planted last year, scones seemed like a natural choice

My food blogging days began in Rochester, NY during the summer of 2008. I was an active commenter on restaurant pages on RocWiki, a Wikipedia-like site for Rochester, and one day I decided to expand one of my comments into a full review, which I posted on a shiny new blog that I’m pretty sure I called Rachel’s Restaurant Reviews

Egglands Best Eggs Food Blogging Event At Institute of Culinary Education (ICE) NY A few years ago, as I was flipping through the TV channels, I caught a short segment of Martha Stewart giving a live demo on making homemade pasta. As she was making the dough, she suddenly went off on a short little rant about how the fresh eggs from her garden hens make all the difference and that the pasta’s color and texture is all about her hen’s eggs

Dear Readers, I know it has been quite a while since I posted, and that just isn’t like me. Life intruded on my blogging- and with all that was going on, I just couldn’t concentrate on the Book of Yum.

On Tuesday, the Center for Science in the Public Interest informed McDonald’s of its intent to sue to stop the fast food giant from providing toys in happy meals. The Center for Science in the Public (hereafter known as the “fat police”) say that the toys represent unfair and deceptive marketing

Palmers Restaurant, near Victoria Park Several months ago, we saw this positive review in TimeOut about Palmers Restaurant , a place serving creative gourmet food not far from Victoria Park in East London. We thought it sounded interesting, but considering how hard it is to convince our W postcode friends to come over to N1, we didn’t dare try to convince them to schlepp to E2, so Palmers languished in the back of our memories. Until last weekend, that is.

by Guest Market Blogger Vicky Weiss I grew up in Ottawa but haven’t lived there for many many years now (ok over 20 years) but my parents still live there and I try to visit as often as I can. I not only see my parents, but now I meet my twitter foodie friends as well i.e @ FoodiePrints and @ cestboncooking .

Some people – the irritating gits – are born over-achievers. Normally the CV and career path of chefs is of little interest to anyone other than the most obsessive restaurant geek (that would be me, then), but how the Ledbury came about is a glowing tribute to the talents of one of our most exciting young cooks. Brett Graham arrived in this country (according to my sources ) in 2000.

Most people in the Philippines save the few Chinese that remains with their ancestral Chinese surname or a few indigenous that keeps their own too, have Spanish surnames. A close local friend told me it is because at some point in history, a law was passed during the Spanish occupation that everyone should adopt a family name for easy administrative purposes, thus the names were coined since then, with Spanish influence of course.

I would like to put a 4 plus on the food column. The food was delicious! I do admit I was expecting a thicker, fry-ier, more substantive bread…which I expected at first, but then again i had no clue what injera was before i went to Meskerem and ate it. I love the fact that they give you lots of it

After a long reign of assumed weight-loss benefits, Green tea is now finding competition in the weight-loss field to its counterpart, aptly called Green Coffee. The makers of a new green coffee (Coffee Shape) that contains a blend of unroasted coffee and roasted Arabica beans claim it could help users lose 4.45lb in a month without any other dietary changes. Drunk every morning before breakfast, each 3g sachet of Coffee Shape contains six to ten per cent of chlorogenic acid, a natural plant..

I had my very first bánh mì (a kind of Vietnamese/French street food snack) from a little stall on Broadway Market over a year ago, and really rather enjoyed it. First of all, I was surprised by the texture of the bread – I’m told genuine bánh mì use baguettes made of rice flour, which provide a much softer texture than the usual crusty French sticks. Secondly, the filling was also interesting, with all the familiar flavours of good Vietnamese food (coriander, spicy grilled pork paté, pickled carrots and I think perhaps a dash of fish sauce) in a handy lunchbox-sized portion.
