"food magazine" news and stories

Perusing the latest issue of Cook's Country, a publication I quite enjoy, I was astounded when I came to the "When Things Go Wrong in the Kitchen" section at the back of the magazine. It is intended to be funny, but what it really shows is that people need to learn when to throw things away. No matter how thrifty you are or how closely you need to watch your wallet, sometimes it is simply best to throw away your mistake and start over from scratch. A good time to consider this action is when food is burnt, bad or if you have been eating leftovers for more than a couple of days.

Witness the following incidents, all harvested from the kitchen disaster stories in Cook's Country:

• A woman wanted to make homemade noodles the way her grandmother did. The recipe looked like it would not make enough, so she added to it until it was several times the original size. She and her husband ate noodles for more than two weeks and it was years before they wanted to eat them again.

Hungry is a new online food magazine written by four guys who are foodies. Not in the sometimes-elitist sense that we don't really approve of here at Slashfood, but the sense that they love good food and everything associated with it - even if it comes from a fast food joint. In other words, they’re our kind of guys. Though still in a relatively early stage, Hungry is off to a great start, with interesting chef interviews, available as podcasts, and other articles. Some of the features include food history, recipes and events. The magazine is based in Chicago, so though they have covered the likes of the McArabia Sandwich, much of the coverage will be based in the greater Chicago area. We look forward to seeing more from Hungry in the future.
