Yes that white gooky stuff is okay to cook with when butter is not available. But it is not for the eating. Throw a bit of fruit and cinnamons in the skillet for a few minutes to top those cakes. Sometimes I like to go to iHOP and order pancakes without the whipped topping because blech. The looks I get are picture worthy. One came back and said the kitchen could not prepare them without the whipped topping! It couldn't be done. They said that out loud.

When you heard that did you immediately rush the kitchen, like a proper antifroth soldier would?

You would have loved Mrs Quandry's decade long battle to get a hot cup of tea in the American Southeast.

Oh no I'm adept at scrapping the nasty stuff to the side. One can also leave a thin wavy piece of cheesecake where that awful red, supposedly cherry flavored, syrup has been drizzled. Sweets are often set aside anyway because I cannot consume most of the artificial varieties.

Yes we must visit a proper tearoom or Asian establishment to enjoy a cup of hot tea. Most restaurants do have plain iced tea now. Some holdouts still only serve sweetened tea (read bug-worthy sugar water with a bit of tea thrown in) but they are few and far between these days.

I've ordered ham salad sandwiches before, but never ham* sandwich salad sandwiches. A bit too much mayo for me, but it looks tasty.


* OK, so it's more of an Italian sandwich chopped up in the video. Whatever...

What? That’s ridiculous!
Might as well put the whole thing in a blender and ”eat“ it with a straw. 😤

(I’ll have two, please)


That actually looks yummy! 🤤

Yeah, the Mayo AND the oil was a tad too much, but I could see serving that in little stuffed buns for a get together or picnic. Or à wrap. Now I’m hungry 🤤

I called my recipe book Sabzi – vegetables. But the name was trademarked. And my legal ordeal began

Vegetables, in my experience, rarely cause controversy. Yet last month I found myself in the middle of a legal storm over who gets to own the word sabzi – the Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Persian, Dari and Pashto word for cooked veg or fresh greens. It was a story as absurd as it was stressful, a chain of delis threatened me with legal action over the title of a book I had spent years creating. But what began as a personal legal headache soon morphed into something bigger, a story about how power and privilege still dominate conversations about cultural ownership in the UK.
When the email first landed in my inbox, I assumed it must be a wind-up. My editor at Bloomsbury had forwarded a solicitor’s letter addressed to me personally, care of my publishers. As I read it, my stomach dropped. A deli owner from Cornwall accused me of infringing her intellectual property over my cookbook Sabzi: Fresh Vegetarian Recipes for Every Day. Why? Because in 2022, she had trademarked the word sabzi to use for her business and any future products, including a cookbook she hoped to write one day.

This is an extravagance I might be willing to save for, but it's unlikely I'll ever have the space for it. But if I did...

If you buy boxed stock or broth from the grocery store (I do buy broth sometimes), and you've ever wondered what the difference is between stock and broth....

Well, there's an answer, but it's only relevant if you're making your own stock or broth. If you're buying it at the store, there is no difference, it's literally the same exact product in two different boxes:
