Saul’s got SOLE: The Jewish deli in Berkeley... →
tiffanyb:
Fascinating article about the efforts of a Jewish deli to go sustainable/locavore.
This is fantastic. I’ve been meaning to go to Saul’s forever, for their house-made sodas (celery, cardamom, meyer lemon, blood orange, cream and tamarind!). The locavore angle seals the deal!

Cooks Illustrated vs. The Internet →
mrgan:
Christopher Kimball, founder and editor or Cooks Illustrated, defends his dismissal of recipes and cooking advice found on the Internet:
In terms of recipes, no, I do not believe in a Wiki website, with a community opining on recipes as a means of creating a valuable database. Making a recipe 75 times in a test kitchen under controlled circumstances (yes, this is deeply self-serving) is...
