Cookbooks often read better as literature than as technical lab manuals.
That shouldn't stop us from reading them, or from improvising our recipes.

Mintel Menu Insights, a service that tracks US menu trends, releases five predictions for 2010, saying the restaurant industry will focus on high quality food and ingredients to lure in diners.

(Manos Latinas. Sorry, Chicken House fans).
So it's with some fear of evisceration that I submit that the "new" Pomodoro in Wilmington has the state's best Italian food.

The New England Fishery Management Council has removed a powerful disincentive for fishermen who have chosen to remain outside the catch share system and instead fish independently in the common pool next year.
But the margin of the vote Wednesday night — against running the fishing clock at double time against the common poolers for time spent on the inshore grounds — was most narrow, with the recommendation from the council's Groundfish Committee rejected 8-7 with one abstention.
