They’re calling him “MacGyver Chef.” Gizmodo’s Dan Nosowitz is attempting to cook ordinary meals in not-so-ordinary appliances – ie all meals are prepared without an oven/range. Poached chicken and couscous in a coffee maker? MacGyver Chef did it, but unfortunately his dishwasher steamed salmon with cilantro sauce didn’t come out so well. How about a vegetarian option, MacGyver Chef?

Custom cake design is an art form, unfortunately one which is usually relegated to grocery store isles, practiced by high school students earning minimum wage. Thankfully, someone has take it upon themselves to collect and display some of the monstrous grocery store, warehouse shops and deli cake disasters which are gracing the picnic tables of birthday parties and baby showers worldwide.

Yes and no it seems!

Gotta make some dressing and all you’ve got in that fridge of yours is a jar of unopened Mayonnaise from the late 90s, that’s ok, you can still use it!* I know this thanks to Real Simple’s handy guide of expiration dates, taking data from experts and manufacturers, those daring folk have compiled a list of expiration dates that may shock you in more ways than one. For instance, a soft drink in a plastic bottle is best if consumed 3 months from it’s “best by” date, but once opened, it doesn’t really spoil, just tastes like crap.

Man, I have to apologize already for the title up there, but it was so bad I just had to do it. Soooo yeah, stare at the photo closely. What is it you ask? 2.21 heads of lettuce?

In a recent trip overseas, Prince Charles sent boardroom food execs tumbling out of their posh leather chairs when he brought up the idea of banning McDonald’s while touring a Diabetes center in Dubai. The exchange happened between Charles and a nutritionist, with Charles asking her, “Have you got anywhere with McDonald’s, have you tried getting it banned? That’s the key.”

Charles, who is a staunch supporter of sustainable farming and healthy, organic foods, may still be a little upset over recent events taking place in his homeland, where an 8 year old boy who weighs over 82kg was just returned to his parents who pledge to help him reduce his weight and break his addiction of processed foods through diet and exercise.

McDonald’s of course went on the offensive immediately, touting their recent marketing campaigns and window-dressing as changing the face of one of the worst food providers on the planet.

Once again, my mind is blown. As most travelers know, in Italy, two things you can always find are pizza joints and ice cream shops. I’ve even read these are two of Italy’s most famous “cults”, a stereotype I’m starting to believe in more and more, especially after seeing the Konopizza. An Italian company has taken the countries two loves and combined them, creating a cone shaped dough ‘pocket’, adhering to the old artisan tradition and creating the Konopizza Oven, a special rotary oven than bakes the Konopizza within 3 minutes, giving the eater a hot, crispy pizza, in a cone, that they can take with them on the go, without making *too* much of a mess. Unfortunately, Konopizza and their patented oven are only available to franchises, but, here’s to hoping a Konopizza opens up nearby soon.
