Amazondescribes the book like this

Si je vous dis : playfood, biodynamie, snacking, vin social ? Si je vous parle de jabugo, d’huile d’argon, de soba, de melets ? Si je vous invite dans des bars à soupe, des néobistrots, des caves à manger, des tables d’hôte… pour goûter du b?uf enfumé minute, des tempuras de
potimarron, du jambon de thon, de la glace au riz basmati au lait… Vous me répondez quoi ? FOODING : terme issu de food, ” nourriture “, et feeling, ” intuition “. Littéralement, ” le fait de se nourrir avec feeling “. Le mot désigne un art de manger, de cuisiner chez soi ou au restaurant, dans un esprit de nouveauté et de qualité. Le Fooding cristallise tous les courants gastronomiques : moderne, créatif, contemporain, évolutif, en perpétuelle ébullition, il rompt avec une vision étriquée, trop souvent conservatrice, des plaisirs de la table. Pour la première fois, vous apprendrez tout sur cette nouvelle manière de concevoir et d’aborder la cuisine :
? le vocabulaire
? les produits
? les acteurs
? les adresses
? les concepts
? les plats et les recettes cultes…

Vinaigrettes Switch Courses, Going Savory and Sweet

October 16, 2016By Mike Hohnen

CHEFS around the country are shaking up preconceived ideas of what vinaigrettes are and how they can be used. Tom Colicchio has taken to braising fish in vinaigrette. Thomas Keller of French Laundry and Per Se anoints pan-roasted duck with an emulsion of olive oil and 50-year-old sherry vinegar. Michael Moorhouse, the pastry chef at Blue Hill at Stone Barns, is pouring warm orange vinaigrette on figs. [Read more…] about Vinaigrettes Switch Courses, Going Savory and Sweet

England's Smoky Pubs Could Erelong Be Smoky No More

October 16, 2016By Mike Hohnen

In proposals put before Parliament on Tuesday, the government of Prime Minister Tony Blair said it would seek a near-total ban on smoking in workplaces, restaurants and pubs that serve food. The prohibition, which follows similar actions by the authorities in places including Ireland and Scotland, New York and Norway, would be phased in between 2006 and 2008.

The only exceptions to the ban will be private clubs and pubs that do not serve food. But even in those establishments, smoking at the bar will be outlawed to protect employees from second-hand smoke

Hardee's hails burger as 'monument to decadence'

November 17, 2004By Mike Hohnen

https://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/2004-11-15-hardees_x.htm

ST. LOUIS (AP) – As many fast-food chains are catering to the health-conscious, Hardee’s is introducing the biggest and thickest of its Thickburgers – one with enough calories to make Ronald McDonald blush.

The Monster Thickburger has 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat.

Hardee’s

The chain on Monday rolled out its Monster Thickburger – two 1/3-pound slabs of Angus beef, four strips of bacon, three slices of cheese and mayonnaise on a buttered sesame seed bun. The sandwich alone sells for $5.49, $7.09 with fries and a soda.

Even a news release touted the Monster – at 1,420 calories and 107 grams of fat – as “a monument to decadence.” Add fries and a soda and a single meal would involve more calories and fat than most people should get in a day.

Irish pub landlords are cutting holes in the roofs of their pubs

November 16, 2004By Mike Hohnen

Irish pub landlords are resorting to radical measures such as cutting holes in the roofs of their pubs to create open-air smoking rooms in attempts to bring back smoking customers and restore sales, reports the Independent on Sunday. Signs in Ireland show a shift in public opinion against smoking and a downturn in the number of smokers since the ban – a worrying indicator for European bar owners and tobacco companies.

Fast food is embracing fast fruit.

March 24, 2017By Mike Hohnen

https://www.usatoday.com/money/industries/food/2004-11-07-fresh-fruit_x.htm

McDonald’s buys more apples than any other restaurant chain. Wendy’s is testing a fruit bowl entree. Arby’s chops apples into chicken salads.

But will folks go as gaga for fruit as they have for salads? In a world of increasingly nutrition-conscious consumers, many top names in fast food think so. Almost every major chain has some sort of new fruit salad or fruit side on the menu, in test or in planning.

Fresh fruit presents special problems. It has a short shelf life, is costly to store and requires refrigeration. Special packaging is needed to let nitrogen out, but keep air from getting in.

But consumers want it. Convenient fresh-cut fruit has ballooned into a $3.8 billion business at supermarkets. The fast-foodies want a piece of that.

“How we feel about ourselves is linked to what we eat,” says Jeff Davis, a consultant at SandelmanEdge.com, which tracks consumer feedback on restaurants. “You can get a kid to eat fruit before you can get him to eat a carrot.

VIP-chip under huden

April 21, 2016By Mike Hohnen

https://weblog.innovationlab.net/a/etik/index.html

Slut med at rode med ID, plastickort eller kontanter på Baja Beach Club. Her
får gæsterne frivilligt skudt en RFID chip på størrelse med et riskorn ind
under huden. Chippen giver adgang til bestemte lounges i klubben, og
gæsterne kan betale for drinks ved at chippen tilknyttes en konto, hvorfra
pengene kan hæves direkte.

Tanken om at få en lille chip skudt ind under huden, kan nok få de fleste
til at stejle, men Barcelonas unge, rige og smukke er fri for at koncentrere
sig om hvor pungen er henne og hvad PIN-koden er. Meget praktisk på en bar,
hvor påklædningen er bikini eller board shorts.

Ideen med en chip ind under huden er kontroversiel og kan lyde som ren
science fiction. Men fænomenet er ikke ukendt: Husdyr er blevet tagget med
RFID chips i over ti år, så metoden er gennemprøvet og RFID chips under
menneskehud er altså ikke forbundet med sundhedsmæssige farer. Imidlertid er
indgrebet mod den personlige frihed den største fare ved implanterede RFID
chips. For hvis personlige oplysningerne altid er tilgængelige, hvem vil så
kunne tilgå data? Anvendelsen i Baja Beach Club har rusket op i
eksistentielle og religiøse diskussioner ? som her på news.com, der også
byder på en grafisk præsentation af systemet i funktion.

VeriChip, som løsningen kaldes, er netop blevet godkendt til brug i
sundhedssektoren. Her vil chippen give let adgang til fx patientjournaler og
oversigter over medicinforbrug eller allergier. Det vil kunne redde
menneskeliv, siger fortalerne. Det er Antikrists værk, siger modstanderne.
Spørgsmålet er om vi er klar til en verden med chips under hud
