"Food has become so globalized that we risk losing — and in many cases have already lost — our cultural connection to the foods we prepare and eat, even those from our own heritage."

"There’s a deeper level of meaning that comes from knowing what we eat, how we eat it, and why."

#foodhistory 🍜
Using art as an example, I talk about why food history matters — how understanding a cuisine preserves culture and enriches the experience of preparing, serving, and eating a dish. Why, in short, I do what I do.

Birthday request [surprisingly] for home cooking! Specifically creamy lemon chicken fettuccine. Photo doesn't quite do it taste-justice. Capers, garlic, chicken stock, cream, lemon juice, parmesan, parsley, salt, pepper. Accompanied by a wine. Followed by a chocolate. Finished with a snooze😂

Had to try and do my version the Pork Dumpling Lasagna I’ve been seeing everywhere. Still needs a few tweaks, but super delish.

🚩 The Silk Route, which once connected East and West, was not only a conduit for trade but also a major highway for cultural and culinary exchange.

I have now 73 original poems up on my website! Surprised at what I've accomplished so far simply by showing up.

Here's an early one - Ode to an Unknown Artist (which seems more than apt 🙋‍♀️ 😉 😂)

Loud and buzzing, cheap and cheerful. Gyoza, spicy squid starters. Maybe a few drinks.

While we're at it, the #food area is rife with content aggregators, automated software that takes other people’s content & republishes it. Links have a shortened URL (that is not the original web link) for tracking clicks. Can have a person's name in profile, but it's just software 🫠 #truthonline

"Whole-almond eaters had an extra 1.5 bowel movements per week compared to the other groups."
Who woulda guessed almonds were the bomb?

Others are greens & seeds:
Swiss chard, watercress, beetroot & dandelion greens, chia & pumpkin seeds.
(So, Mediterranean diet again? 📝)

Bot alert, friends! Bots on the rise.

I remember this type of account from Twitter. (Also just got followed by 3 Carolines -all 3 reported & no longer exist on Bluesky.)

At the left Olivia, on Bluesky. On the right, selection of accounts I blocked on Twitter last year.
So, be careful out there.

Chocolate sponge rolled with milk chocolate buttercream, brushed with rum and Kahlúa syrup, sliced and plated with Biscoff sauce, buttery crumble, and meringue buttons for contrast. A deeply flavored dessert. #TheOutpost #Cooking #Cooksky #Foodsky #Baking #Bakesky #Recipe
