Her rise was tied to a period of reinvention for the wine world during which natural wine conquered millennial taste buds and became ubiquitous on menus across the US. Marissa Ross, Bon Appétit's wine editor from 2016 to 2020, often posted pictures of herself chugging straight from the bottle — a technique she called "The Ross test." "Natural wine," a nebulous term that generally refers to wine made with minimal intervention and without additives like sulfites, was tentatively entering the American wine world. Many in the wine world took the idea that you didn't have to be educated to know about wine as a personal insult. When she first told BA that she planned to cover only natural wines, Ross said, Rapoport called to try to change her mind.

Produced by the Hearst-owned food brand Delish, "Budget Eats" was the kind of digital success story that traditional magazine giants crave.

A career recipe developer at work, the "Budget Eats" Xie doesn't even measure out ingredients. "It felt like she was afraid that putting 'Budget Eats' from her kitchen onto this cable network might dilute the honesty," Lennon-Simon said. As for "Budget Eats," Delish recently posted what is presumably the last episode.

She's written for the New York Times, Bon Appétit and Food and Wine and won the James Beard Award twice.

O rețetă pentru sparanghel a fost publicată săptămâna trecută în mod accidental în Monitorul Oficial al Belgiei, printre legi și decrete, informează BBC, citat de digi24.ro. Între timp, textul rețetei a fost eliminat din Monitorul oficial belgian. Alături de legile privind stabilirea prețului la medicamente se află o rețetă în șase pași pentru sparanghel. "Câteodată găsim greșeli în texte, însă niciodată n-am găsit o rețetă", a declarat un avocat din Bruxelles pentru site-ul RTL Info. Directorul Moniteur Belge, Wilfried Verrenzen, a spus că rețeta a apărut într-o bază de date consolidată "fără importanță legală" și a fost ușor de înlăturat.

Во французской версии официального журнала Бельгии (Moniteur Belge), где публикуются принятые в стране законы и указы, обнаружили рецепт блюда из спаржи. Находку обнаружил юрист Морган Моллер в разделе, который посвящен ценам на медикаменты, при этом заканчивался текст рецепта словами "Bon appétit" ("Приятного аппетита". "Были люди, которые говорили мне, что Moniteur Belge бесполезен. После этого сайт официального журнала Бельгии обновили и рецепт блюда из документов убрали. Между тем директор Moniteur Belge Уилфред Веррезен подчеркнул, что посвященный приготовлению спаржи текст был опубликован в базе данных, которая "не имеет юридической силы", поэтому оттуда было легко удалить рецепт блюда.

Voga Coffee has raised $1.6 million to fund its mission to get into coffee shops around the world. Unfortunately, the industry has taken quite a hit, with one research firm reporting the pandemic wiped out a quarter of coffee shop's sales in 2020. For the first time in nine years, the total number of coffee shops in the US is on the decline, according to Bloomberg. Its invention, called Ground Control, is a high-tech batch brewer that aims to produce a more consistently delicious cup of coffee. Adopting the technology, the company argues, would allow cafés to brew coffee at a faster clip and charge a higher price for a top-notch brew.
