IN PRINT: slow-cooked pasta, the vanishing food stamp stigma, a sustainable dining hall for a bigger movement, two bells toll for Fond
While the rest of us were stuffing face and then lying on the floor groaning about how Mom overfed us, hard-bitten food feature editors were still at it. Check out the highlights from the holiday weekend broadsheets:
Mark Bittman goes all Minimalist on an staple ingredient we thought couldn't get any simpler: pasta. His recipe for gemelli with chicken and mushrooms is slow-cooked by additions of stock, just like risotto, a process that liberates the pasta's starch to create a creamy, multi-dimensional sauce.
Elsewhere in th Times, The Safety Net continuing series takes a look at the federally funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), ne� food stamps, a program once labeled "failed welfare" that is now assisting more than 36 million people, including one in eight adults and one in four children.
The Inquirer investigates last week's locally sourced sustainable Thanksgiving dinner at Philadelphia University's� Raven Hall, an example of the growing movement of agricultural awareness and interest in local colleges.
Fond is bestowed a friendly two-bell review by an unnervingly jolly Craig LaBan, who lovingly describes his highlight dishes (like the thrice-cooked pork belly) and picks a few nits over dessert and an overdone chicken. With the ownership staff's average age at 27, looks like plenty of room for this BYO to grow on the Avenue.
