"Cooking, in effect, took part of the work of chewing and digestion and performed it for us outside of the body, using outside sources of energy. Also, since cooking detoxifies many potential sources of food, the new technology cracked open a treasure trove of calories unavailable to other animals. Freed from the necessity of spending our days gathering large quantities of raw food and then chewing (and chewing) it, humans could now devote their time, and their metabolic resources, to other purposes, like creating a culture."

Guest blogging for MPN

DateMonday, November 26, 2012 at 10:03PM

Hellllllllloooooooooooo!

Sorry I have been so quiet lately. Working four days per week, going to uni one day and trying to get all the work done on the days leftover has been taking its toll. 

I have still been writing a bit, but elsewhere...

At the beginning of this year I did a food writing internship which turned into a longer term role with Media Production Network, a US company who make short cooking videos for several local papers in the Greater Boston area. The videos are accompanied by a short article which is printed in the paper and online. That is the part I was writing. 

I decided that I couldn't continue with that role once I started studying, but I have still been guest blogging for MPN once a fortnight on my favourite things from the world of food blogging.

Here is what I've been writing. Take a look.

I tried to comment on your weird food item for MPN. Not sure if I was successful. Most people find my favourite snack weird ..I squeeze a dollop of creamed cods roe on to a lettuce leaf. It's a huge blast on the taste buds , so a brilliant high impact - low calorie snack!
