When I found out that one of my housemates got a real-world, comes-with-benefits job, I knew exactly what type of baked item I had to make her in celebration. This recipe combines two of the best ingredients in the world into one delicious cookie that is so loaded with caffeine, it might actually keep you […]
There’s cake—the kind we drown in frosty buttercream, slap onto paper plates, and pass along to the person next to us—and then there’s cake. There’s the kind we prefer to smear onto other people’s faces, and the kind we wouldn’t even dare to share. It’s clear—not all cakes are created equal. The difference between a […]
I’ll be honest—I’m not proud of writing a recipe for a kale sandwich. I realize there is nothing that cool about kale, despite a recent spike in kale-chip consumption. Not that there’s anything wrong with kale—-I love it—it’s just not something I would, say, reveal my admiration for on a first date (or would I?). […]
Last semester, I studied abroad in Copenhagen. One of the things I was most nervous about before my semester in Denmark was the food. I had decided to live with a host family, and that meant that I would have to eat whatever weird things they decided to serve me. My research on Danish cuisine […]
Fruit and Veggie Co-op is great. Fruit and Veggie Co-op is nutritious. But Fruit and Veggie Co-op can sometimes leave you with some very random vegetables. Like last week, when the crop consisted of pears, red potatoes, and…rutabagas. Ruta-what? They look like turnips, but they come in a very wide variety of sizes. They’re also […]
This week, Laura Yim ’13 tells us what she’s been eating while studying abroad in Aix-en-Provence, France. If you truly want to live like the French, you indulge. You eat your way through the day, taking casual two-hour lunches and then posting up at a café for the entire afternoon. It’s a tough life, […]
Earlier this week, I had a craving for mozzarella sticks; but since it was a Monday night and I was sober, the ones they sell at the falafel cart were not an option. So I decided to attempt my own (hopefully marginally healhier ) version. All of the ingredients are available at Weshop, and all […]
NoRA, short for North of Rapallo Avenue, is a trendy “new generation” bakery that opened its doors this past New Year’s Eve. The cupcakes are mouthwatering works of edible art that focus on fresh, modern flavors, with monikers reflecting their distinctive ingredients. NoRA offers both sweet and savory options, including an assortment of candy and beverage-inspired cupcakes. The […]
Although I love tofu, I’m not the type of person that tries every meat-alternative option because, honestly, I think a lot of the meat-substitutes just don’t compare. Maybe it’s because I recently left my vegetarian ways and jumped on the meat bandwagon, but tofurkey doesn’t really taste like turkey. Yet after years of hearing about […]
It’s winter, and I feel like I should be cooking fatty, meaty foods that will insulate me from the cold. I fantasize about making meaty, heavy stews. Unfortunately, vegan-happy Weshop does not wish to help me realize my high-cholesterol dreams. In general, it’s not a great place for carnivores. Sure, Weshop has sausage and bacon, […]
