What to Cook

Gatherings shouldn’t be just for holidays like Friendsgiving, Super Bowl Sunday, or Christmas. Sometimes you need a good old-fashioned dinner party. The kind of party where the music is playing softly in the background, dim lighting extends throughout your home, and people are standing around laughing and talking while sipping on cocktails and having hors d’oeuvres.

The inaugural harvest of genetically modified salmon began this week after the pandemic delayed the sale of the first such altered animal to be cleared for human consumption in the United States, company officials said. Several tons of salmon, engineered by biotech company AquaBounty Technologies Inc., will now head to restaurants and away-from-home dining services — where labeling as genetically engineered is not required — in the Midwest and along the East Coast, company CEO Sylvia Wulf said. Thus far, the only customer to announce it is selling the salmon is Samuels and Son Seafood, a Philadelphia-based seafood distributor. AquaBounty has raised its faster-growing salmon at an indoor aquaculture farm in Albany, Indiana. The fish are genetically modified to grow twice as fast as wild salmon, reaching market size — 8 to 12 pounds (3.6 to 5.4 kilograms) — in 18 months rather than 36. The Massachusetts-based company originally planned to harvest the fish in late 2020. Wulf attribut...

Grant helps students get hands-on with pork - Agri News Grant helps students get hands-on with pork - Agri News Posted: 12 May 2021 12:30 PM PDT MENDOTA, Ill. — Students in Melissa Sallee's foods classes at Mendota High School are learning more and fearing less about the food they eat. But students aren't just eating foods like ground pork Sloppy Joes, pulled pork and warm garlic bacon pasta, they are learning how to prepare them. "One of my platforms is that I want students to understand, you don't have to use a mix or something already prepared," Sallee said. A big part of how they are able to get experience handling and preparing pork, from ground pork to bone-in pork chops to pork butt, is a grant from the Illinois Pork Producers Association. This is the second year that Sallee has received the IPPA Food Service Grant. "A great part of the pork grant is that I feel like students are afraid of cooking meat...

BACK IN 2018 , we wrote a book called “Brunch Is Hell,” in which we declared the dinner party the cornerstone of civilization—and brunch its evil antithesis. Unlike brunchers at a restaurant, we noted, dinner party hosts selflessly welcome friends and strangers into their homes, provide them with free food and in return ask only that no one spill wine on the Pomeranian. A dinner party, we said, is a safe space for the freewheeling exchange of ideas, where differences can be loudly debated and impromptu dancing is welcomed. And a dinner party is, we said, “recess for adults”—a blessed break from the pressures, consumerism and information-blitz of the outside world. We hoped to convince more people to host dinner parties. Without them, we warned, society would surely crumble, like the crust on a reheated brunch quiche. Well, here we all are, after an enforced yearlong dinner party drought, and…we told you so. Turns out, when you spend 13 solid months bingeing true-crime shows and fak...
