From its name, to its hazy origins, to its drug interactions, there's a lot going on beneath that thick rind.
Berry Blackmail (#662277)
Deep purple secret, sticky as blackberry juice and just as hard to wash off. A berry is a small, pulpy, and often edible fruit. Typically, berries are…
Stina Pošip Jako Vino 2023
The Stina Pošip Jako Vino is a superb example of Dalmatia’s renowned indigenous white grape variety, Pošip. The beautiful Croatian island of Brač is famous for its white stone, which is known locally as Stina and was the inspiration behind the name of this stunning collection of Jako Vino wines. The grapes were cooled prior to vinification and protected from oxygenation throughout. Two thirds of the grapes were gently pressed; the remaining third was left to macerate on the skins for six hours. 80% of the fermentation took place with selected yeasts in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures; 20% took place in wooden vats, imparting subtle oak complexity to the wine. The wine was then aged in stainless steel tanks for six months. Intense citrus, passionfruit and peach flavours are lifted by a refreshing minerality, creating an exotic, elegant style with a textured palate and a persistent finish. Intriguingly packaged with an understated label. [#intro]A superb example of Dalmatia's renowned indigenous Pošip grape, intriguingly packaged with an understated label...[/intro]

How the global banana industry is killing the world’s favorite fruit
During harvest last year, banana farmers in Jordan and Mozambique made a chilling discovery. Their plants were no longer bearing the soft, creamy fruits they’d been growing for decades. When they cut open the roots of their banana plants, they saw something that looked like this:
No-Fuss Fruit Tart
This is perhaps one of the most useful puddings you can have in your repertoire. Not that it is the job of a pudding to be useful: a pudding exists merely to delight. Still, dinner does need to be made, even when there’s precious little time for it and that should be a delight, too. So here’s the deal: there is pitifully little work to be done to make this berry-dazzler of a tart, and enormous pleasure to be derived from its consumption.
The Secret Ingredient In Your Orange Juice
Do you buy orange juice at the store? If you do, I'm sure you're careful to buy the kind that's 100% juice and not made from concentrate. After all, that's the healthier kind, right? The more natural kind? The kind without any additives? The kind that's sold in the refrigerator section so it must be almost as good as fresh-squeezed orange juice? If I'm describing you, then you're either going to hate me or love me by the time you're done reading this post. The truth is, that orange juice you feel so good about buying is probably none of those things. You've been making assumptions based on logic. The food industry follows its own logic because of the economies of scale. What works for you in your kitchen when making a glass or two of juice simply won't work when trying to process thousands upon thousands of gallons of the stuff. Haven't you ever wondered why every glass of Tropicana Pure Premium orange juice tastes the same, no matter where in the world you buy it or what time of year you're drinking it in? Or maybe your brand of choice is Minute Maid or Simply Orange or Florida's Natural. Either way, I can ask the same question. Why is the taste and flavor so consistent?
Blackberry Galette
This is really a free-form pizza-like tart, which I made for the first time while we were doing the photography for How To Be A Domestic Goddess. We happened to have some polenta pastry left over and some spare blackberries in the fridge and I, suddenly rebelling against the planning and rule-following necessary to get all the food photographed, played around. This was the result. And really, you could use any fruit. I'd stick with the polenta or cornmeal pastry only because nothing soaks up the fruit's juices better without going soggy.
Remember when a glass of wine a day was good for you? Here’s why that changed.
It seems like opinions on the health benefits of booze are shifting. Suddenly moderate drinking is unhealthy. What happened?
