It's all about food

I'm a panelist for the Back to School Food Allergy Twitter Party on July 23 at 1 pm eastern. Come join us!

I received an email about a new FA website, Food Content Alerts. Has anyone checked it out?

Alisa was asking for book recommendations the other day. I forgot to recommend Jamie Oliver's Jamie at Home: Cook Your Way to the Good Life. It's a cookbook about eating locally and seasonally. It's arranged by seasons, which is my favorite style of cookbook. He also throws in lots of gardening tips, his thoughts on wild game, and a great resource section for seeds and products. Recently, I made his Quick sausage meatballs with a tomato and basil sauce, spaghetti and sweet raw peas. Minus the Parmesan cheese, of course. Here's a (dark) photo from the cookbook and a photo of my version.





Go Max Go sent a really great response about Katherine's reaction. They are talking with their suppliers, and they are hoping for a dedicated facility sometime in the future.

  1. I'm sending my letter to Burger King this week. It can't hurt, right?

  2. I think sending your letter is a good idea. How else will places like BK change, if people don't voice concerns or raise issues/awareness?

  7. Oh, one more thing. Unbelievably, BK's site says the caramel dip for the apple fries are dairy free. Does the packet say something different?

  9. Thanks for the recommendation, and you definitely did that recipe justice!

    I have a Jamie Oliver book, but have never cooked from it. I may have to crack it open :)

    No Whey Mama Activist, good business card material.

  10. Just checked out Food Content Alerts. Seems like it could be a great site but looks like they're still working out some bugs. I registered and it's great for sharing foods that are good for my kids with camp and my in-laws.
