2008-09-11 Gapers Block: Book Club, home of the GB Book Club and a literary weblog

No foodie book would be complete without a few recipes sprinkled in for authenticity and Halliday does not disappoint. From veggie burgers (thankfully not the lentil ones that failed her so miserably) to watermelon with basil and feta to the eponymous dirty sugar cookies, Hallidays recipes are easy to follow and offer the same wit with which she peppers all of her writing: "Better taste some to make sure nobody poisoned it," she says of her friends famous brownie batter; and "Stir the wet into the dry. Get your mind out of the gutter," she directs in her recipe for Postcoital Pancakes. A fun, touching and wholly absorbing read,

2008-09-26 Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

While former employees of the Toll House Inn offer a slightly different version of the tale that involves a chocolate bar accidentally falling into Ms. Wakefields electric mixer full of batter, most foodies agree that Ms. Wakefield is a veritable baking saint, having created one of the nations most popular desserts. Surveys indicate that Americans devour more than seven billion chocolate chip cookies annually, with half of the countrys households baking them at home. In 1997, the chocolate chip cookie was named the "official cookie" of Massachusetts after a class of third-graders proposed a bill to honor the classic American treat.

I was surprised at how little interest there was. The objections and excuses ranged from the sympathetic Its a good idea in theory, but it could never be enforced to Its such a long day for the kids, at least let them enjoy their snack time anda particular favoritethe shamelessly candid If I cant give junk food, I have no bribe leverage. There were even several moms who claimed they saw no need for this, since their children truly brought onlyin fact craved onlynutritious food. (This was decidedly refuted by my children and theirs, when later questioned discreetly. ) I sheepishly called back the principal and reported my disappointing findings: this program would need to be reconsidered due to clear lack of interest. One thing I know for certain from my years in the educational system is that a school rule is generally

2008-10-02 Simple treasures from the oven

Sell a sandwich that featured someone elses breads. So shes producing her own. Quite well, in fact, and her baguettes, ciabattas and focaccias are the basis for exceptional grab-and-go lunches that boast all the right touches -- orange marmalade and a sprinkle of fleur de sel liven a turkey-brie combo, and a blazing horseradish and a fruity plum jam do splendid things for a ham-Gouda blend. Each one is jockeying for my favorite fast lunch right now. (Not that Im surprised, since Gayers long and fruitful tenure with Trotter, one of the countrys most exacting culinary practitioners, including the creation of Trotters to Go, the Mount Olympus of prepared foods outposts. ) Oh, yeah: The price is insane, just four bucks.

2008-09-10 Captured by cookies - FOODday

Thats where folks gobble two-bite goodies like crispy peanut butter oatmeal cookies stuffed with feather-light buttercream and drizzled with bittersweet chocolate. Its where they meet the Tarts rendition of the Toll House cookie -- buttery dough streaked with melted chocolate chunks and crowned by nuggets of fleur de sel. And where they taste the Tarts latest concoction, a humble-looking honey-sesame snap cookie that goes from subtle to deliciously complex as you chew.

The cookies are a wee bit larger and a little more expensive (75 cents apiece) than when they started out. Korn left the business a year ago to move to Australia, and sales/marketing whiz Phelps stepped in as Beekleys partner. On a busy day theyll bake 400 dozen cookies, 24 types, for three farmers markets and a host of wholesale accounts including Zupans and New Seasons markets.

Shrine serves everything Party Style. , the perky waitress explains. Do we know what that means Its like Family Style. So we order plenty of food to share. Unfortunately, it all arrives at once. And I mean all. The plates cant fit on the table, and dishes start to get cold. "Oh my, what a lot of great food you have all at once. ," the waitress says. But the power of positive thinking isnt working for us. We ask if we ordered wrong, and the waitress blames the pileup on the chef. Wonder how he likes it under the bus.

2008-09-12 Vietnamese bakeries caught making chalk cookies : Health

Adding insult to injury, a health ministry official said the chalk in the cookies did not meet standards for calcium used in foodstuffs. Calcium carbonate used in food must be 98 per cent pure, while the calcium carbonate in the cookies was only 95 per cent pure.

Hanoi - Vietnamese confectionery companies have been surreptitiously mixing chalk with flour for packaged cookies to cut costs, a police official said Thursday. Police discovered cookies containing limestone powder last week in inspections of three bakeries in an outlying district of Hanoi.

Children were given cookies in a plastic baggie or allowed to choose cookies from a platter. Kids eating cookies from the plastic bag were satisfied that they had eaten their portion and did not want more, but those who ate cookies from the platter wanted more even when the platter was empty. The kids told the researcher that they knew there were more cookies in the kitchen when they were served on a platter.
