2010-03-08 NST Online FOOD: Fine dining on the beach

New Zealand has not much of a food tradition, so were open to experimenting. For instance, we dont mind tandoori pizza, something that would shock Italians, he says, laughing. Tandoori Pizza (RM29) is just one of the items that come out of the wood-fire pizza oven at Sigis.

For those who prefer something local, Sigis offers fried rice and noodles. Theres claypot seafood noodles, Hokkien char (fried yellow noodles), tom yam bihun and fried dried flat rice noodles.

2010-03-03 Respecting Emory Dining Employees: Community Must Take an Interest The Emory Wheel

Every day, hundreds of Emory students dine at Sodexo food service locations like the Dobbs University Center, Cox or Jazzmans. While food quality at these locations has come under scrutiny, the working conditions under which our food is served remain largely unexamined. Students and Workers in Solidarity (SWS) formed to demand that Emory effectively address the situation of the hundreds of hard working food-service workers who make it possible for us to eat.

After a series of meaningful interactions with Sodexo workers representing different campus food-service locations, SWS took the position of demanding institutional respect, a democratic workplace and the right to collective bargaining. It was workers stories that compelled us to confront the contradiction of attending a university that prides itself on being a principled institution and yet subcontracts a company that systematically violates basic labor and ethical standards. To remain silent on the issue of worker dignity and respect is to turn our backs on the people whose hard work and sacrifice make our daily university experience possible. This is not a question of compelling workers to join a particular union, but whether they even have the freedom from intimidation to form one if they choose.

2010-03-02 More vegan, vegetarian options requested The Red and Black

In addition, the grill lines at Oglethorpe and Snelling Dining Commons have specific vegetarian lines that no meat is allowed to touch. All dining halls use special utensils denoted for use in vegetarian and vegan foods.

If the consumers see it at the grocery store, they wonder, why dont they carry it in the dining halls, he said, adding Food Services and grocery stores are two different food markets entirely.

Representatives from Speak Out for Species, a campus animal rights advocacy group, met with Food Services officials Thursday to speak about their concerns regarding vegan options in dining halls.

Next fall, more vegan and vegetarian food choices may be available in the Universitys dining halls, in addition to the normal fall fare. Representatives - News

2010-02-28 Private Dining Experience - Features

Baz added that she had always loved good food, but had no experience preparing food before her time in Florence. She learned from her host, and continued to dabble in cooking when she returned home.

A sous-vide cooker is used to prepare foods at very low temperatures over a long period of time. This technique produces evenly cooked meats and vegetables that retain their flavors and juices without any risk of being overcooked.

Private Dining Experience is a supper club operated out of Baz and Bloombergs home on Lincoln Avenue. It is designed to foster a stronger sense of community between residents of Saratoga Springs and members of the Skidmore community.

2010-02-25 Table talk - Utah food and dining events Deseret News

This years campaign promotes stretching grocery dollars with healthy, nutritious food. A USDA study has shown that the cost of less-healthful foods has risen more than that of nutrient-dense foods such as fruit and vegetables, and that its still possible to have a healthful diet while spending between 10 percent and 11 percent of a familys disposable income on food.

Rules and guidelines for the contest are on the "Discussion" page. Throughout the contest, there will be "Heart-Healthy Recipe of the Week" selections. Weekly winners will get a Papa Murphys gift certificate for a free deLITE pizza, and five top winners will receive a usd. 50 gift card from Whole Foods, three Papa Murphys deLITE pizza coupons, and a copy of "Heart-Healthiest 2010," a book of all the submitted recipes. One on them will present the winning recipe on a local television show.

2010-02-24 Silver service

Back then, chefs were anonymous toilers in airless kitchens. In 1974, when I compiled the first-ever serious guide to dining in this city (it later morphed into The Sydney Morning Herald Good Food Guide), many of the restaurants included began with Le, La or L. French Provincial was the go. The only lettuce one encountered in a salad was the iceberg and the pomme de terre du jour was the Idaho potato, a specimen the size of a rugby ball, peeled, wrapped in aluminium foil, baked then ceremoniously opened at your table, split and dolloped with industrial quantities of sour cream and chives. The iceberg has made a comeback as one of umpteen kinds of salad greens available but the Idaho is a thing of memory, replaced by the kipfler, pink eye and Dutch cream or by Paris mash.
