(Technically, maybe not, but he did make bacon vodka for Christmas and is quick to advocate any use of bacon.) Apparently he’s not alone. The featured food product on the new Web site mantestedrecipes.com is Bacon Salt, a product designed [...]
Cooking continues to garner big-screen attention. I still haven’t seen “Julie & Julia” but there’s good reason to think it is a potential award winner! From The Associated Press: This year’s Academy Awards have a little extra flavor, as two films in which food played a leading role are nominated. Meryl Streep garnered a record [...]
