What’s Cooking with YOUR Kids: Making Cupcakes, by Zoey, age 7
Many thanks to Zoey (age 7!) for today’s post. She is already quite an accomplished chef and shares her experience making a new dessert with us. I nearly cried when I read her story – perhaps because she is so close in age to my own son

Just because I haven’t posted about our efforts at local school lunch reform lately doesn’t mean that we haven’t been busy. In fact, things are hopping! I recently joined Project Lunch, a new project sponsored by an incredible organization called Teens Turning Green. How could I resist joining when the invitation started like this… My name

Salt helps to bring out the flavor of watermelon In Asia it is not uncommon to eat fruit with salt or even soy sauce. From my own experience, and via friends, I known that fruits such as mango, guava, honey dew melon, watermelon, nashi pears and papaya are eaten with salt.

When I wrote about Nathan Myhrvold’s book project in November he estimated the book to reach 1500 pages. But what originally started out as a 300-page book on sous vide has now, with the help of a 20-person team, grown to a total of 2200 pages spanning five volumes ! Need I say more? Finally the long wait is over: The Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking is now available for pre-order at Amazon, and the expected release date is December 1st.

A perfect cup of coffee for a perfect morning! I have spent lazy summer days in a “Sommerhus” (e.g. “summer house”) in Denmark with my family and one thing I will share with you is the coffee I enjoyed every morning. My wife doesn’t drink black coffee, so to keep things as simple and easy as possible I brought my Aeropress and a glass of preground coffee (for obvious reasons I decided not to bring my coffee grinder, but I did use a nice coffee from Tim Wendelboe though).

When I was growing up, my parents taught me that it is customary to be grateful and polite when you are invited to somebody’s house. The rules would be no different for the White House, of course. Maybe that is why I have been hesitant to write about my trip to DC until now. I

My friend Susannah is a dietitian and we have been working together on a Healthy Family Meal presentation for our school district.
