Welcome to the Future, Where Our Apples Never Brown

Says Gizmodo:

Neal Carter, Okanagan’s founder and grower, claims two have to varieties of apple—an “arctic granny” and “arctic golds”—that can be cut clean in half and yet have their flesh stay white and fresh for weeks on end. No brown spots. No bruising. Also, Carter claims, they require no chemical treatment before being processed for food and their juice runs clearer (for what that’s worth?).

MIT’s Freaky Non-Stick Coating Keeps Ketchup Flowing

One of the most significant challenges his team faced was making sure the coating was food safe, meaning his team could only work with materials the FDA had approved. “We had a limited amount of materials to pick from,” Smith says. “I can’t say what they are, but we’ve patented the hell out of it.”

Andrea Reusing: The Key 3

In her recipe for overnight braised short ribs, Andrea Reusing says, “You basically take things you have in the house — mushrooms, garlic, a bay leaf — and throw them in the oven with the ribs for as long as you can sleep. Six or seven hours. Then, when you wake up in the morning, you have this amazing smell in the kitchen, you open the oven and you have lunch.”

Those ribs, a turnip soup and tomato salad are her Key 3.

And this will go unchallenged for some time as the best publicity photo submitted by a guest of the show.

It’s Andrea Reusing, author of Cooking in the Moment, who will share her Key 3 this weekend.

Grape Leaf Herb and Yogurt Pie

Yotam Ottolenghi, who is not a vegetarian, is the author of vegetarian best-seller Plenty. On the show this weekend, he tells Lynne:

This distinction between vegetarians and meat-eaters is much more fuzzy than it used to be. It was like two camps at war, but these days, people realize you can do so many things without eating meat and still not be 100 percent vegetarian.
