Food Lab's Kenji López-Alt Does Not Have A New Cookbook For You
Food Lab's Kenji López-Alt Does Not Have A New Cookbook For You

I know, I know. The title of this post is intentionally trying to make you look. But it’s also true, because one of our favorite writers, Kenji López-Alt of Serious Eat’s Food Lab, is taking his time before creating a followup to his smash first cookbook. Lucky for me (and anyone with kids in their life) his next project was a kids book all about celebrating diversity in food. The book is Every Night is Pizza Night and it explores what it really means for a single food to be the best. It’s a conversation we all have, children and adults.

I had a wonderful chat with Kenji about the book, the importance of trying unfamiliar foods, and what is up next on his docket.

Kwame Onwuachi Wants to Make All Ages Love Flavor
Kwame Onwuachi Wants to Make All Ages Love Flavor

When I had my son suddenly everyone started talking to me about ‘baby food’ and ‘kid food.’ I had never been raised with the idea that somehow kids got to eat something different - we always just ate whatever my parents ate. And from having lived in India and watching kids eat an array of flavors it struck me as a sort of bizarre thing that our culture has imparted on us, that kids need to start with blander food. People now ask me all the time how I got Guy to eat and I always say it’s simple really: he never had a choice! Kids are sponges and you can teach them to love and appreciate food by giving them diversity and flavors from an early age.

The Healthiest Sandwich Trick
The Healthiest Sandwich Trick

I love a good hack, and apple sandwiches are kind of my new current favorite. If you use tart apples instead of bread you create a whole new category with texture and a fun factor that is hard to beat.

Recently Siri Daly stopped by to talk about her new book, Siriously Delicious. The wife of famed tv host Carson Daly uses her book and blog to showcase her easy recipes that help her keep her busy family on the go. Siri is one of those people who tries to make life easier and I loved the fun outlook in the book. But these  apple sandwiches with nut butter and granola have made me a convert.

Jacques Pepin's Advice To Young Cooks
Jacques Pepin's Advice To Young Cooks

It's one thing to learn to cook from Jacques Pepin on television. It's quite another to get to do it by his side. That's the experience of his (extremely lucky!) grandaughter Shorey, and their experience together is shared in a new book A Grandfather's Lessons. We sat down to chat with Pepin about a new generation of cooks - and how to realistically expect to teach someone to cook today.

Yogurt Without a Fridge: A Look at Shelf-Stable Dairy
Yogurt Without a Fridge: A Look at Shelf-Stable Dairy

Some things in our food world we just take as a given - like dairy products are always in the fridge. But walk the aisle of any European grocery store and you’ll see rows and rows of dairy on a shelf. So what are we so afraid of?I went to Normandy France, home of history, cider, and a whole lot of dairy cows to find out.
