Brownie Philosophy: Chewy, Cakey or Fudgy?

2011_10_28-brownies.jpgBrownie Philosophy: Chewy, Cakey or Fudgy?:
I've had a lot of pumpkin desserts in the past few days. And don't get me wrong, this is a good thing. But in between now and Thanksgiving, I generally find myself turning towards chocolate and fruit-based sweets. And the first obvious
choice: brownies.

Eight Thoughtful Food Books Worth Reading This Year:
It's been a while since I shared some of my favorite recently-published food books. My desk is relatively tidy, but it becomes a sort of cocooned library of food books as the review copies stack up.

2011_11_03-Cookbooks.jpgRecently I was scanning these volumes and realized that many of the books that came out this year have a really thoughtful aspect to them. Whether it be gentle suggestions for eating less meat like Pam Anderson's Cook without a Book, or an exciting but not didactic single-subject cookbook like Molly Stevens's All About Roasting, or Anne Zimmerman's moving account of M.F.K. Fisher's life in An Extravagant Hunger, I am struck by and humbled to see
that it is this approach to that drew me to this career in the first place. These are the writers and cooks who inspire me.

make it

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western   island   of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
