Eataly: An Eight-Figure Bet on Authenticity

9c8e666e59107945.jpg 150x99 Eataly: An Eight Figure Bet on Authenticity

From Serious Eats: New York VIEW SLIDESHOW: Eataly: An Eight-Figure Bet on Authenticity [Photos and captions: Christine Tsai] The press tour of Eataly last night left us in awe of what Mario Batali, Joe Bastianich, and their Italian partners are trying to accomplish with the opening of the flagship American Eataly store on Fifth Avenue in New York—an Italian food emporium of mindboggling proportions. There’s every Italian foodstuff you’d want, everything you could think about wanting, in the vast space curated by Batali and company. A Neapolitan pizzeria serving up really tasty, credible pizzas from an unseasoned oven, all made by pizzaioli that had arrived in America just 24 hours before showing up for work last night. An Italian bread bakery, under the direction of inestimable baker Nancy Silverton, featured pretty swell focaccia. There’s a fish restaurant helmed by Esca’s Dave Pasternack; there’s excellent gelato and espresso. There’s fresh pasta that Batali has been blown away by—we liked the plin they served, the pasta wrappers delicate and not too soft. There’s a vegetable department featuring a “vegetable butcher,” or should we say sculptress, Italian baked goods of every…

Multiple Studies Show the Health Benefits of Eating Pizza

1647d89fc2rita 2.jpg 150x99 Multiple Studies Show the Health Benefits of Eating Pizza

From Slice [ Photographs: Nick Solares ] The Guardian has the story , noticing that a string of three reports, from 2001, 2003, and 2004, all led by Silvano Gallus of the Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche in Milan, shows that habitually eating pizza may be healthier than you think. The 2001 study shows that, unlike other Italian meals, pizza does not necessarily cause clogged arteries. The 2003 study shows that pizza may help prevent cancer. The 2004 study says that it either helps prevent — or at least does not cause — heart attacks. I can’t wait till my wife reads this. Oh, wait! Crap: All of this pertains to Italian-made pizza, metabolised in Italy. No matter how accurate the scientists’ interpretations turn out to be, there’s no guarantee that they hold true for foreign pizza, or for any pizza eaten anywhere by foreigners. Let’s hope the ol’ lady didn’t read past the jump! ;) [via braciole ]

Gluten-Free Tuesday: Purslane

729f3d8f0e105144.jpg 150x112 Gluten Free Tuesday: Purslane

[ Photograph: Gluten Free Girl ] It’s amazing how many of my meals start on Twitter. Ask a simple question about food—”What are you cooking tonight?”—then sit back and prepare yourself to read a flood of answers. After hearing about heirloom tomatoes, roasted peppers, and ahi tuna, I’m hungry. Usually, that night’s dinner is inspired by a mish-mash of other people’s answers, a little of this, a little of that. Sometimes, like the day that someone spoke with happy nostalgia about her childhood macaroni and cheese, I went right out and bought cheddar and gluten-free elbow pasta to make it happen for us too. Mostly, though, it’s a mood that inspires me: charred this, seared that, a dab, a swirl. Or, just a ripe peach, juice squirting underneath my teeth to halfway across the table. Other days, I’m inspired by people’s photographs of food. Pickled watermlon rinds from the Alinea cookbook . Cherry pie with the juice oozing from the golden-brown crust. A slab of homemade bacon smoking in someone’s backyard. One look at someone else’s slow joy become food gets me in the kitchen again. Rarely, however, does a food…
