For The Love of Food
Welcome to Friday’s For The Love of Food, Summer Tomato’s weekly link roundup.
This week wheat vs gluten, the truth about alkaline diets, and the surprising importance of iodine.
Want to see all my favorite links? (There’s lots more). Be sure to follow me on on Delicious. I also share links on Twitter @summertomato, Google+ and the Summer Tomato Facebook page. I’m very active on all these sites and would love to connect with you. (And yes, I took that pepper heart pic myself).
Links of the Week
- Fitness crazed <<“The science of muscle confusion, in other words, looks a lot like the marketing tradecraft of client confusion.” This is so good. (NY Times)
- not again. the lack of nuance in the discussion of gluten-free is infuriating and wrong <<No matter what your opinion on gluten-free eating, you should read this smart and thoughtful piece by Shauna Ahern. (Gluten Free Girl)
- Dear Mark: Does Dietary Acid/Base Balance Matter? <<I don’t usually comment on the acid/base (aka alkaline) diet hypothesis, because it isn’t supported by science, but if you’d like to see a review of the lack of evidence this is a decent one. (Mark’s Daily Apple)
- Industry-Packaged School Breakfasts: Better for Kids Than Nothing?<< You’d be surprised what will make the cut. (Civil Eats)
- Cheaper Food May Be Fueling U.S. Obesity Epidemic <<Seems that time and availability of fresh foods aren’t the culprits. More likely to be cheap sugars and starches. Surprised? (Medline)
- New Report Recommends Iodine During Pregnancy, Breast-Feeding <<Interesting new research on the importance of iodine. I get enough by eating seaweed, how about you? (Wall Street Journal)
- SURPRISING ROUTE TO WEIGHT LOSS SUCCESS <<Paying more attention to your weekday habits may help with weight loss and maintenance. (Dr. Weil)
- CHARD + LEEK FRITTATA <<I’m a big fan of frittatas because they are simple, elegant and delicious. Yum! (Sprouted Kitchen)
What inspired you this week?
hi Darya,
It’s first time I’m visiting your site and I love it. Particularly this link love section.
Keep up the great work, and I’ll come for more commenting soon.
Hi, Darya! Outside of roasted seaweed snacks, how do you enjoy preparing or eating seaweed at home? Outside of sushi, what kind of seaweed dishes do you enjoy in restaurants?
AJ – I’d love to hear Darya’s suggestions too, but I wanted to mention that I buy bags of mixed dried seaweed flakes at the natural food store here (I live in Paris) and sprinkle those on salads, especially butter lettuce or grated carrot salads.
I also just read a tip I want to try: process dried seaweed with stale bread when you make breadcrumbs, and use as you would regular breadcrumbs — to coat fish and fishcakes in particular.
Finally, I’ve recently become a little obsessed with nori rolls made without rice but with lots of raw vegetables. I posted about them on my blog, I hope Darya won’t mind me including the link: http://chocolateandzucchini.com/recipes/vegetables-grains/cucumber-and-avocado-quick-nori-roll-recipe/
Love it, thanks Clotilde.
To be honest I eat a lot of Japanese food (both out and at home–at least 1-2x per week), but I also use kombu in broths, etc.
I’m also a first time visitor and wanted to say the same thing as Jim, above. I love this section – these are great links! Thanks for sharing.
