Great British Bake Off 2015's Paul Jagger's lion is foiled by judging decision, by Jim Shelley - Daily Mail Great British Bake Off 2015's Paul Jagger's lion is foiled by judging decision, by Jim Shelley - Daily Mail Posted: 19 Aug 2015 12:00 AM PDT There was a tale of two works of art on the Great British Bake Off. Dorret was sent home for making her interpretation of Tracey Emin's Unmade Bed out of bread, which admittedly sounds more like a cry for help than something you'd want to eat let alone attempt. Paul, meanwhile, created a lion that was so detailed and frankly magnificent that if you hadn't been paying attention to the telly you could've assumed you were watching Born Free. But he still didn't win Star Baker. Scroll down for video  He was robbed: Paul's King of the Jungle bread lion should have earned him the title of Star Baker on this week's Great ...

Is Cheese Addictive? - Healthline Is Cheese Addictive? - Healthline Posted: 11 Dec 2019 12:00 AM PST Cheese is one of the most popular dairy products in the world. In fact, it's so scrumptious and easy to eat that many people believe it's addictive. As such, you may wonder whether there's any scientific evidence behind this claim. This article explains whether cheese contains addictive compounds and what this means for your health. Surveys show that Americans ate around 6 pounds (2.7 kg) of cheese per person annually during the mid-1970s, a number that has since grown to 11 pounds (5 kg) as of 2018 (1). There are many reasons for this increase, such as changing social and economic factors. Cheese is often a centerpiece of social gatherings, and cheesemaking itself is now in vogue. Yet, this ubiquitous food may also have mildly addictive properties that contribute to its popularity. One reason that people enjoy...

Fresh Pork from Farm to Table | Food Safety and Inspection Service - USDA.gov Fresh Pork from Farm to Table | Food Safety and Inspection Service - USDA.gov Posted: 06 Aug 2013 12:00 AM PDT Although pork is the number one meat consumed in the world, U.S. consumption dropped during the 1970s, largely because pork's high fat content caused health-conscious Americans to choose leaner meats. Today's hogs have much less fat due to improved genetics, breeding and feeding. Read on for more information about this red meat. What is pork? Pork is the meat from hogs, or domestic swine. The domestication of "pigs" (immature hogs) for food dates back to about 7000 B.C. in the Middle East. However, evidence shows that Stone Age man ate wild boar, the hog's ancestor, and the earliest surviving pork recipe is Chinese, at least 2000 years old. Hogs were brought to Florida by Hernando de Soto in 1525, and soon was America's most pop...

Easter Sunday dinners are a tradition in many families. Though the COVID-19 pandemic forced families to alter that tradition in 2020, and could very well do so again in 2021, it’s worth noting that Easter takes place in April this year. In many areas, April weather is warm enough to enable al fresco dining, potentially opening the door for families to celebrate together in small groups. Though this Easter might again feel unusual, families can still lean on their favorite dishes when serving Easter dinner. Perhaps no food is more closely associated with Easter than lamb. This recipe for “Slow-roasted Shoulder of Lamb With Cumin Seeds” from Darina Allen’s “Easy Entertaining” (Kyle Cathie Limited) can make for a delicious Easter dinner.

What to Cook Right Now - The New York Times What to Cook Right Now - The New York Times Posted: 10 Mar 2021 12:00 AM PST Good morning. I've been talking a lot about no-recipe recipes recently, in advance of the publication of "New York Times Cooking: No-Recipe Recipes" next week, and my colleague Tina Jordan reached out to me the other day with a stellar one. It's for a fiery weeknight pasta dish with brussels sprouts and diced bacon. Here's Tina: "Dice a whole bunch of bacon or pancetta (how much depends on how many people you're cooking for; personally I think the more, the better). Set it frying in a very large skillet or Dutch oven. Meanwhile, set a pot of water to boil and begin chiffonading a pound or two of brussels sprouts (again, depends on how many people you're serving). If you don't have brussels sprouts, slice up a head of broccoli, though it's much better with brussels sprouts. Whe...
