Flick: Cobalt123 Last week during my evening L Train commute in New York City, I sat down next to an elderly woman bundled in battered winter garb. I started to read my book until out of the corner of my eye, I see the woman unsheeth a plastic knife from a white paper bag—followed by a large, shiny orange. Usually eating on the subway is not something I condone, however, as she made a perfectly angled first incision into the shiny orange rind, I watched with bated breath.

The...The Scarlet Batter
Slate's Daniel Engber wonders why we praise El Bulli's Ferran Adrià for using xanthan gum but recoil at the use of FD&C Red No. 40 in red velvet cake, and says our aversion to artificial coloring makes no sense: If the artificial colors are as safe as natural ingredients and they don't taste bad, then why should we avoid them? The gastronome might argue that the chemical dyes impart a color that's unappetizing on its own terms. The garish brilliance of red velvet cake has no referent in nature; it's disgusting because it's fake. Natural dyes, on the other hand, can make food look wholesome and real, by restoring our ingredients to their natural state. If a stalk of rhubarb...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
