    Autumn is the best time for apples. My Sister's Kitchen was inundated with 350+lbs of Apples, apples, ugly apples everywhere and wondering what to do with them all. They worked hard found and made the most of their bounty. What do you do with your apples? Borrow some ideas from the online Ultimate Apple Recipe Collection - over 40 apple recipes, apple information and musings after the break...  Read more >

    Not everyone is in agreement over the complaints about adult Picky Eaters. The conversation was started at Cooking with Amy. The worst are people who have such a short list of foods they will eat that dining with them is practically impossible. Barbara is equally intolerent over at Tigers & Strawberries. And my attitude toward such adults is this–grow up and get over yourself. Or, shut up when we are at the table. Or, get therapy, you really need it. The resulting conversations and comments are heated. Are you a fussy eater or not? What's your excuse?  Read more >

    What do you think about people who take pictures of their food in restaurants? It's a question that was raised last week in The San Francisco Chronicle in which bloggers were asked to weigh in with their opinions...  Read more >

    Does that make her a "Mommy Blogger"? When she retired a few weeks ago, my mum, Christine, announced she wanted to start her own blog. She calls it Ms Cellania. I am very excited and proud that she, a woman in her 60s, should embrace new technology with such fervour...  Read more >

    Us Food & Drink Editors have been a little bit remiss in our coverage of beverages. I plan to put things right by featuring some of the female wine bloggers I am discovering. Unlike the food blogosphere, the world of wine online was more male dominated to begin with but this has been changing slowly. I have found that women seem to have a less dry approach to writing about wine and as it is a subject at which I consider myself a novice, I turn to them to guide me through wines from a female perspective...  Read more >

    And Hamming it Up! When I was a kid I didn't care much for bacon. I thought it was too salty and in those days it probably was. These days I am a different woman - I can't get enough of a pig's cure be it prosciutto, bacon or ham. And it would seem like I am not the only one...  Read more >

    Singaporean J from the stunning food blog Kuidore points out in her post "How to Read a Peach": "Eat me. Now. Sure, if you're lush and ripe. But faced with a mixed lot of varying ripeness, what's a girl to do but tamper with nature?" After the break, J suggests what kind of recipe you should go for, according to the level of ripeness of your peaches and two dozen bloggers share their own perfect peachy ideas...  Read more >

    In an Indian restaurant earlier this week, I ordered some "Fish Pakora". What kind of fish is it, I questioned? The waiter hesitated, stumbled over his words a little and then declared it was catfish. What do I know? It could have been anything, at least it was delicious. On this very subject, Rebecca from Potlikker raised an interesting point. Referencing an article in The St Petersburg Times, she explains that DNA testing has shown that 50% of the fish we dine out on, is not what it claims to be. After you have stopped reeling from this shocking news, consider hooking up with a fish dish at home instead. At least you will have a better idea about what you are eating. Just look at the selection of fishtastic ideas I have netted you. They are totally off the scale...  Read more >
