It's in the small choices you make on the plate that a humble meal transforms into something memorable. You can treat plating as a language: color, texture, and placement become your vocabulary. When you approach a dish with intention, even simple ingredients sing.
You start by thinking of balance. Place...
With each bite you take in a new place, you enter a story shaped by climate, migration and local resources that define regional cooking. You will notice how staple ingredients-rice in Asia, maize in the Americas, wheat in the Mediterranean-anchor daily meals and how preservation methods like drying, fermenting and smoking reflect both necessity and creativity.
You should explore how technique matters: the precision of Japanese knife work, the slow braises of French cuisine, the high-heat wok tossing of Chinese stir-fries and the open-fire roasting common across African and South American kitchens. Technique transmits values about time, community and the relationship between cook and ingredients.
Your palate will be guided by...

Cataract surgery is one of the most popular and commonly performed procedures in the world. The vast majority of patients have excellent outcomes with few complications.
Here are the numbers:
By age 80, over half of all Americans have cataracts.
Close to 4 million cataract surgeries are performed in the U.S. every year.
Over 90% of patients have 20/20 vision with glasses after surgery, although those with other eye conditions may not do as well, including those with glaucoma, a progressive disease typically associated with elevated pressure within the eye; diabetic retinopathy, which ultimately can cause leakage in...

Berlin (ots) - A recent study by Wageningen University & Research, Netherlands, analysed the fate of compostable packaging in an industrial composting plant. The results show that the tested EN13432 certified products break down within a maximum of 22 days. The project was commissioned by the Dutch Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy. "The study shows that the tested objects have the same or an even faster disintegration and degradation rate as regular biowaste. We need more independent research of this kind", says EUBP Chairman of European Bioplastics (EUBP), François de Bie.
Central aim of the study was to gather...

Christopher Damman, University of Washington - People have been using salt since the dawn of civilization to process, preserve and enhance foods. In ancient Rome, salt was so central to commerce that soldiers were paid their “salarium,” or salaries, in salt, for instance.
