This is the current stack of books at my elbow. I’ve been thumbing through them for information, inspiration, and ideas. All great books and all totally different. There’s a wide world of information out there, and we often look to others to learn something new and to show us a different perspective on things. Here are a few things we’ve been reading online:
– How Americans Pretend to Love “Ethnic Food”: An article by Roberto A. Ferdman via The Washington Post.
– Gorgonzola Potstickers, from Marc Matsumoto over at No Recipes.
– Fork Stacker of Food Separatist: What your eating habits say about you, from Amy Fleming over at The Guardian.
– Federal GMO labeling bill hailed as ‘true compromise,’ but critics say it’s woefully inadequate by Elaine Watson over at Food Navigator-USA.com.
– General Tsao’s Chicken Wings from The Lady & Pups.
– What’s With Wheat? Joel Salatin tells us in a new documentary by Brian Barth over at Modern Farmer.
– Want Tastier Coffee? Freeze Beans Then Grind from Joanna Klein at The New York Times.
– The Grueling Patagonia Expedition Race in Chile, for the seriously hardcore athletes, via the LA Times.
Because not everything is about food.
