Learning how to poach eggs! Anyone have tips?
Made a speedy breakfast with @akhilg2002 of mushrooms topped with poached eggs and homegrown basil (yes the basil is still alive!). Not perfect, but these eggs turned out better than before. I trie...
What is your favorite bitter green and how do you prepare it?
Sweet beets with ricotta salata and rich toasty hazelnuts are a great foil for these bitter dandelion greens!
-
JenniferEmilson I still like chard, chicory or even radicchio (even though it's not green!!)
Love hard boiled eggs, but have a hard time taking the shell off. Any good tricks to share with me?
-
sugardetoxme Don't use fresh ones (unfortunately) and shock with cold water right after boiling.
-
sugardetoxme Also putting eggs in a closed Tupperware and shaking vigorously to shatter the shell works
-
lauren I was told salt will do the trick!
First time in to a shakeshack. Question: anyone know if Danny Meyer has committed to using non GMO soy oil to fry his fries? I didn't try the fries as the server could not give an answer!
Shake Shack
-
DietID_TeamDietitians Good question! I know they committed to #non-GMO buns, but don't know about the oil. @KyleMcCullers should know
Love Inday. Love Chinese and Thai food as well. Anyone know of any healthy spots in NY?
INDAY
Inday is full of flavor and caters to all diets. So Delicious.

darkchocolatepeanutbutter I've always wanted to go there! Looks amazing. Hu serves paleo food which I like to eat when I don't want any grains. It's on 5th Ave between 13th and 14th St.
-
SimplySeema @darkchocolatepeanutbutter yes, love Hu. Thank you. If you discover any Chinese or Thai spots that you recommend, do let me know. :)

lauren Wow need to check it out!
What's for dinner tonight? I have this curried chicken sweet potato skillet cookin'!
-
sugardetoxme Is that spinach or chard in there?
-
marynfulton2 It's actually a mix of both with baby bok choy as well
Food traditions around the world!
San Pedro La Laguna, Sololá.
It's inspiring to travel and see local food culture and customs, what's your favorite place to explore and experience food traditions?!
We're launching a Food Book & Film Club. Suggestions?
Foodstand will be launching a Food Book & Film Club come April so that we can have food-worthy discussions both on and off the app. Any favorite or thought-provoking food books or films you'd like ...

Simran This is great, I'd love to chat about the Netflix series Cooked which starts streaming tomorrow
-
sugardetoxme Perfect @Simran ... It's on our list too!

katewilson I know this is probably a given but Third Plate by Dan Barber and anything Michael Pollan.
What do you think are the biggest issues in food today?
Is it in food production? Distribution? Access? Waste? Consumer education? Legislation? Something else entirely? Would love to hear what you guys think.
-
katewilson I'm voting food waste but I'm thrilled to see how much efforts are being put behind it now
-
darkchocolatepeanutbutter I still feel the dietary guidelines are inadequate. If the USDA could consider the public over corporations, we'd have better direction.
-
sugardetoxme It's two parts for me. Food waste is obviously huge. If good food was about actually feeding people then we wouldn't have hunger, but food has become a business. But let's also talk about the big...
Food Policy Action | Tell Congress: Reject electronic GMO labeling & demand mandatory, clear, on-package labels
act.foodpolicyaction.com
Proposed solution for labeling GMO food: QR codes? I mean no matter your feelings about GMO food, QR codes as a solution for anything, ever... Sorry. I'm biasing the discussion. Would you scan a QR...
-
sugardetoxme I have used a QR code once. So I'm with you. I'm curious what other folks on the farming, journalism and policy front think would be great solutions @SaraGassman @olivettefarm @Emmatellsfoodstories...
-
olivettefarm I've never used a QR code and I doubt most people would for their food. I think clear on package labeling is the very best option, but that will be a huge fight. In the mean time I think educating...

Yes- while you are waiting for your water to boil, and then drop to a moderate summer, crack your egg onto a small sieve (like you light use for tea) set over a cup. Let it drain all the loose bits...

Oh wow I was stirring like crazy! I'll try this next time. Thanks!

Add a little vinegar to your water! It helps the egg stay together as well 😊
