Spaghetti, Carbonara is an Italian pasta dish based on eggs, pecorino romano, guanciale, and black pepper. The dish was in the middle of the 20th century.

The recipes vary, although all agree that cheese (Parmesan, pecorino, or a mixture), egg yolks (or whole eggs), cured fatty pork, and black pepper are standard. The pork is fried in fat (olive oil or lard); a mixture of eggs, cheese, and butter or olive oil is combined with the hot pasta, cooking the eggs; the pork is then added to the pasta. Guanciale is the most traditional meat, but pancetta is also used. In the US, it is frequently made with American bacon.

Cream is not popular in Italian recipes, but is used in the United States, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, Australia and Russia (especially in Moscow). Other Anglo/Franco versions on carbonara may include peas, broccoli or other vegetables added for colour Yet another American version includes mushrooms. Most of these preparations have more sauce than the Italian versions.

In all versions of the recipe, the eggs are added to the sauce raw, and cook (coagulate) with the heat of the pasta itself.

More than ever before, people are paying attention to what they eat. Years ago, few people knew the words organic, natural, free range or hormone free in respect to food. They just did not give it a second thought. Now, however, people are taking these words to the store and coming home with different products. In addition, people now want to find these words when they dine out. For reasons of both budget and availability, it is important for the consumer to note that all organic foods are not equal in overall benefit.

For any food to carry the “USDA Organic” label, the United States Department of Agriculture (U.S.D.A.) requires specific criteria. The standards demanded have to do with how the food is either grown, produced, or manufactured. For instance, to be truly organic no food may contain anything synthetic like traces of fertilizers or pesticides. Ninety-five percent or more of the ingredients of any organic food must be all natural. Any animals used for organic foods must be completely antibiotic and growth hormone-free. However, if food is marked “Made with Organic Ingredients”, only 70% of the ingredients are required to be organic.  Read more...

Apple crisp, or apple crumble if you’re from the United Kingdom, seems like the kind of old time dish that’s been handed down for generations. You can pretty simply imagine the pilgrims eating it at the very first Thanksgiving. Despite this antique feel, apple crisp has a surprisingly brief history.

Apple crisp doesn’t make an appearance in cookery books until 1924, so its creation potentially only goes back a few decades before. This is a record of a bit more than a century, making it a fairly fresh addition to the North American menu. The dish became swiftly and immensely popular with one or two years of appearing in cookery books, as papers and recommendation by friends spread the recipe.  Read more...
