If you’re in college, it’s likely that pizza is the love of your life — the Internet says so.
Julian Andrew sipped on vodka-soaked raspberries, tonic and a splash of grapefruit with a lime.
Cookbooks contain more than directions for food preparation. They are like a “magician’s hat: one can get more out of them than they seem to contain,” or so muses culinary historian Barbara Wheaton.
Walk into a bookstore, browse Amazon cookbook category listings, and you’ll find various genres of cookbooks. There are cookbooks for kids, for vegetarians, for couples, for one, for beginners and even for dogs. Look closer, and you’ll notice a category of cookbooks for men. But absent is a category for women, revealing the assumption that unmarked cookbooks are for women.
Reading hundreds of cookbooks and recipes has convinced us that these books form a distinct genre, a storytelling genre, governed by conventions and codes.
Recipes are, on one hand, an instruction manual with directions or instructions on how to make something and also a narrative with engaging prose or a story that elevates the procedure into something else entirely.
It’s a cruel irony that Summer, the season of swim suits and short-shorts, is also the season of endless ice cream sundaes, barbecues and a plethora of other unhealthy food choices. I have a major sweet tooth, and once I start, I usually can’t stop. A small scoop of vanilla quickly turns into a triple chocolate brownie sundae with hot fudge and extra whip cream. Since I’ve been trying my hardest to make healthier choices recently, I thought I’d share some of my favorite healthier alternatives to our classic summer favorites. These are super quick, easy, and only require a few ingredients, so (unfortunately) we no longer have an excuse to conveniently call up Dominos.
The two things I love most in the world are 1) instant gratification and 2) Nutella. I hope most of you can agree with me on this. I love to bake, but sometimes the idea of collecting all those ingredients, dirtying all those pans and then having to clean up all that mess is just too much to undertake. Thankfully, there’s a magical land called Pinterest that makes our lives a million times easier. I get almost all of my recipes on Pinterest, because it’s that good.
When you need a recipe, where do you turn? We have many options — cookbooks, magazines, newspaper columns, food websites, television cooking shows and even food products themselves (cereal boxes, chocolate chip bags, etc.).
Warning: Adapted from a recipe called “I want to marry you,” these babies could put a ring on your finger, or if you have control issues, 5 pounds on your thighs.
The weekend is finally here, and I’m more excited about it than usual because this Sunday is Super Bowl Sunday! Who cares if the half-time performer is Bruno Mars? Who cares if it’s going to be freezing at the MetLife Stadium? Who actually cares if the Seahawks or the Broncos win? Not me, because I don’t even like football. But I love Super Bowl Sunday, because I love food — namely, pizza.
Dessert is an essential part of my day. However, I sometimes feel conflicted with guilt if I over-indulge, which distracts me from enjoying said dessert. I’m sure I’m not the only one who has experienced this, so here are some tips for the health-conscious baker for creating delicious, guilt-free desserts:
As a 10-year-old girl, Gwen Thompson’s role model was Willy Wonka.
According to the Calorie Control Council, the average American downs up to 4,500 calories leading up to and including the big kahuna — Thanksgiving dinner — and that figure doesn’t even include breakfast, lunch and snacks along the way. Don’t deprive yourself of enjoying good food, family and friends during the holidays, but use these tips and tricks to help guide you in making healthier choices. This way you can have your pumpkin pie and eat it, too.
Spaghetti squash is one of the most unique vegetables out there. I’ve only recently started cooking it, but I’m definitely going to incorporate this squash into my regular diet because it is so versatile.
Last week I told you all about my favorite DIY dinners for the overworked undergraduate! Now we move on to the second installation in this series: DIY desserts.
Recently, I’ve noticed that I’ve been returning home later at night, getting up earlier in the morning and having less time for breakfast, dinner and everything in between. Coming home from a long day, the last thing I want to do is feed myself. It just seems like making food will take too much effort and time. In comparison, my bed looks comfortable and inviting, and I usually fall right to sleep without giving food a second thought.
Halloween: n. the holiday excuse to dress up as a slutty schoolgirl, consume countless grams of sugar in candy and — since it’s a college town — drink until you actually believe you are the character of your costume.
