A few of my favorite finds and reads for February:
~ About the word “just” and whether to prune it from your communications.
~ Paris restaurateurs (finally!) decide to do some recycling (in French).
~ The science behind fonts and how they make you feel.
~ The best temperatures and uses for common cooking oils, one of several gorgeous info-charts by Russell van Kraayenburg — also available as a print for your kitchen!
~ A biochemistry start-up is working to find a plant-based replacement for the eggs that are used in processed foods.
~ My article on five-ingredient desserts is published in the new issue of Vegetarian Times, and in it you’ll find the recipes for my mango pistachio cardamom ice cream, my lemon almond soufflés, my apple and date crisps, and my pear and lavender charlottes. Do give them a try and report back!
~ Chef Peter Nilsson leaves his Parisian Gazzetta to return to Stockholm.
~ Client feedback turned into posters.
~ Dried persimmons, homemade.
~ What career should you really have? (I got “writer”, so I assume the algorithm works okay.)
~ Misunderstanding orange juice as a healthful drink.
~ March 4 is Mardi Gras, and in France the occasion is often celebrated by making crêpes, so whip up a quick batter and enjoy!
