• Filtered Water Winning Out Over the Bottle

  Hardly a day goes by without some mention in the news about bottled water. Is it really better for you? Is it truly pure? Are the bottles leaching chemicals into what's inside? Do we need to be adding more plastic to our landfills? All valid questions Read More... Share this post: email It! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

• A Traitor to Trader Joe's

  Yesterday a New Trader Joe's opened in my neighborhood, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn with a steady flow in to and out of its regal doors. Housed in an old bank building, the entrance is rather majestic, but is the crowning glory inside worthy of its throne? Read More...

• Healthy Addictions: Granola Is the New Crack

  Have you ever started eating something and no matter how hard you try, you can't stop shoveling it into your mouth? For me, the addiction is often unhealthy: Peanut M & M's, cookies, or cream ice cream. But recently I discovered that healthy addictions Read More...

• A Board That Cuts Down Cross-Contamination

  Everyone seems to be talking about food safety lately. I've seen a whole slew of products geared to this point. This clever one caught my eye. It's a cutting board book with four designated pages (or boards) to be used specifically for certain foods. Read More...

• Inside the Epicurious Diet Food Taste Test

  Cardboard, chemicals, and cheez... That's what I got my fellow Epicurious editors for the holidays. Just when they had (maybe) forgiven me for making them eat gray beef as part of my research for last year's diet food delivery story, I asked them to participate Read More...

• There's Bacteria in My Food

  If you look in my desk drawer, you'll find a small bottle of acidophilus. I'm aware that good bacteria is needed to regulate my gastrointestinal tract and contributes to my overall well-being. Yogurt with live and active cultures has been my food of choice Read More... Share this post: email It! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

• Naked Calendar Promotes Eating Locally

  There can't be a much more beautiful daily reminder to eat locally than the tastefully naked calendar produced by four Brown University students. Yes, naked. We're talking Calendar Girls (and Boys) with strategically placed beets and peppers. "The goal Read More... Share this post: email It! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

• Dole Salad Greens Contaminated with E. Coli

  Yesterday a recall was issued for Dole's Hearts Delight salad mix. In a random screening, a bag of the mix sold at a store in Canada tested positive for the E. coli bacteria, though there haven't yet been reports of anyone becoming sick from eating the Read More...

After all, what's the big deal about cherry juice? I can choose Read More... Share this post: email It! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit! | kick it! | live it!

• Whole-Wheat Pasta

  I've always hated whole-wheat pasta. Why? Because most are awful, gummy, slimy things that scream THIS IS GOOD FOR YOU in a way that makes me want to run to Centro Vinoteca for deep-fried gnocchi just as fast as I... Read More...
