In Food Policy This Week: 5 News Bites

I'm not sure if the "common knowledge" assertion that vegetarians get most of their protein from soy is true. I'm a vegetarian of 2 years and hardly ever use soy. Morningstar-type products make very rare appearances in my diet, mostly due to how ridiculously expensive they are. I consume some tofu, but not more than a few times a month, and don't drink soy milk. Mostly I turn to legumes and pulses for protein, as well as dairy and eggs. My vegetarian friends do the same, as far as I'm aware, so I'm not really sure where this assertion comes from, other than walking by the "vegetarian" freezer section and assuming that is where vegetarians buy all their food?

Protesters Call for GMO Labeling in Nationwide Rallies

I'm with the other anti-Monsanto folks, that is one terrifying corporation. The way they treat farmers should be criminal.

Any company that is against providing the consumer with as much information as possible should not be trusted. If it's really so safe and good for everyone, label it with pride! The fact that Big Ag won't label GMOs or cloned meat just makes me think they have something to hide.

I won't even get into the whole "industrial farming is destroying our environment" side of the argument.

Homemade Bagels, à la Jo Goldenberg

Made these tonight with blackstrap molasses in place of the malt syrup (what I had on hand), they were delicious! I could taste the molasses, it wasn't bad at all but I might try to find malt syrup next time...and there will definitely be a next time! The crust was crispy and shiny, the insides were soft, and the bottoms were chewy...perfect, and so easy!

This Week in 'New York Times' Food News

Yeah, definitely didn't see anything in that article that amounted to "plucking plants from soil is okay.", though I still found the article interesting since I have struggled with the same debate as a vegetarian.

On a separate note, the "DIY cooking" link seems to be broken, is it just me?

Weekend Giveaway: 'The Food Matters Cookbook'

My sister (who is also my roommate) and I have gone vegetarian, joined a CSA, given up frozen meals and shop at the farmer's market as often as we can. I cook out of the "How to Cook Everything Vegetarian" book at least once a week, and I love it!

In Season: Celeriac

(obviously something went wrong the first time I tried to post this)

I love celeriac! It's especially good cubed and roasted. One of my favorite ways to use it is David Lebovitz's french lentil salad, subbing roasted celeriac for the fennel bulb (I roast the carrots, too).

Pumpkin Orzo with Sage

This is delicious! I also made some changes, dried sage for fresh, leftover cream for milk, and a small onion and garlic for the shallot. It is superb, although next time I will stick with milk, since the cream made this quite rich. Don't skimp on the parmesan, it totally makes this dish.

I have to agree with deviousmuse, this is delightful and hearty and perfectly autumnal!
