The new 2025-2030 dietary guidelines released recently put all grains at the bottom, small tip of the pyramid. The food pyramid has been flipped, and now protein, red meat, and full-fat dairy are on the base of the pyramid. All grains have been relegated to a back seat, and a a very small one at that. As I mentioned in another blog, this is likely just another way to eat badly. This is because not all grains are created equal. We have misdiagnosed the problem of what’s wrong with the American diet, and have prescribed the wrong solution. In this…

I first paged through We Fancy, Jerrelle Guy’s new cookbook, at the very height of holiday baking. I laughed out loud when she referenced all the orphaned, half-used cans of pumpkin purée hiding in the fridge—yep, I thought, I have one of those. This is the very essence of Guy and her book, which comes out Feb. 10; it feels like you’re planning dinner while chatting with a friend. Her voice is relatable, her tips are easy to incorporate (turn that pumpkin into a pasta sauce, page 87), and most of all, Guy manages to make dishes feel special without…

There’s a particular kind of panic that sets in around 6pm when you realise you have nothing planned for dinner, a hungry household, and approximately zero energy left. I’ve been there more times than I can count. And honestly? This pasta has rescued me every single time. It started as a desperate experiment one Tuesday night. I had red lentils, pasta, a tin of tomatoes, and not much else. What emerged from that single pot became my most-cooked recipe. It’s creamy without cream, packed with plant protein, and requires just one pot from start to finish. No draining pasta. No…

I’ve been able to find Boston butt from pastured pork at great prices, and slow cooking this recipe makes it incredibly tender. Boston butt roast…
