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.
Gorgongyzoa (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.
You 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.
