The amateur cook

Here's another hypothetical question for you.

Hasenpfeffer

Flavor trends include best of the past

TIGARD, Ore. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) January 10, 2008 -- Everything old is new again. That certainly holds true when examining culinary flavor trends found on the front burners of American restaurants.

Happy Hogmanay

The Scots would say that no-one knows how to celebrate the new year as well as they do. And, having spent a couple of New Year's Eves in Edinburgh, I'm not going to argue the point.

A 'simple' postcard campaign

For cost-effective advertising, a simple postcard campaign can work wonders. A well-designed card can say such a lot about you and your business.

Safari cuisine

The African Desert brings along with it a number of challenges to the skill of a Culinary Artist. With access to limited ingredients, it's not as easy to whip up a delightful cuisine as it would be for an urban chef. Getting your hands on those must-have luxury items is a challenge that can only be perfected by a master of the art of experimental cooking.

The feast of the seven fishes

On Christmas Eve, the Italians celebrate the feast of the seven fishes. As the name suggests, this meal is composed of seven (at least) courses, all of which are seafood.

Traditional 'holiday' foods

To be politically correct, we have to refer to the 'holidays' now , rather than Christmas.

Menu promotions

Menu promotions can last for a few weeks or even a few months, but they always need careful planning.

TSDG's once-a-year favorite recipe

This is a perfect dessert for the holidays. Because of the egg and cream content, it's a once-a-year treat for us! The recipe is adapted from the dish Chef Marcus Wareing made for the banquet for Queen Elizabeth to celebrate her eightieth birthday.

Alter EatGo

Chef Eric Paul combines his passion for food and business to create Alter EatGo and combat the rising rate of obesity by making healthy eating fun, convenient, and affordable.

British cuisine reputation ruined by a young Victorian girl

In the 1950s and 60s, the 'jet age' meant that more and more people were visiting Britain. And many declared the food to be bad. And yet the British Isles has a long and illustrious history in cuisine. What had gone wrong?

As American as apple pie

I tend to have the TV on in the kitchen when I'm cooking and the other day, on an ad, I heard "It's as American as apple pie". Hang on, I thought.

Research results - Americans like spicy foods

Strangely, it never occurred to me that they didn't but recently, San Fransisco's Center for Culinary Development conducted a study investigate this.

Wikipedia, meet Coke

OK - I missed a meeting.

Suddenly there's a new Coke out there that I didn't know about.

I must confess at this point that Coke Zero and Diet Coke are the main spooky items on my daily diet and I have a vested interest in the latest carbonated experience put out under the Coka-Cola umbrella, being a brand endorser of some standing.

Spooky in that, apart from my craving for fizzy stuff that has a taste (there goes the soda water) I don't really know what it is that I'm drinking.

But I'm cool with that. I'm having a brand experience, dude!

Giving Christmas the bird...

 The endlessly inventive British Sunday supps are once again publishing their seasonal issues, and today sees the Sunday Times getting festive in the kitchen.

It really does ere on the extravagant: How about Heal Farms 12-bird roast.  55lb of ethically farmed turkey, containing breast meat from 48 birds. It costs $1300.

Samara Cuisine - recipe video

Medieval British ravioli

Ravioli is an Italian dish, right? And probably a fairly recent invention. Form of Curye was written in England in the fourteenth century (yes, in 13-something) and includes recipes for lasagna and ravioli.

Renaissance Cooking Courses Offered in Tuscany, Italy

Florence, Italy (PRWEB) December 2, 2007 -- Good Tastes of Tuscany Cookery School introduces daily and weekly cooking classes specializing in Renaissance Cuisines.

The vegetarian option

If there's one thing that most American restaurants are spectacularly bad at, it's the 'vegetarian option'. Menus seem to treat people who don't eat meat as an afterthought, offering such predictable dishes such as vegetarian lasagna or vegeburgers. Boring! Where is the chef's imagination? Are they incapable of cooking without meat or fish?

Gourmet tours

Los Angeles, CA (Vocus/PRWEB ) November 27, 2007 -- For those who think that savoring delectable food and going on an African safari is incomprehensible, Uncharted Outposts Safari & Travel Company, a premier tour operator, will prove them wrong.

Remember remember the fifth of November ...

... gunpowder, treason and plot. Sorry, I'm English. Tonight is known as Bonfire Night in the UK. Yes, one of those weird English customs but like most of them, it involves food.
