• Quinoa tagine: Over at Diet, Dessert & Dogs Ricki has been running a series on using quinoa. She’s surpassed herself with this beautiful tagine of chickpeas, olives and prunes. I cooked this during the week and it was wonderful.
• Wild rice salad: I’m new to Syrup & Tang but this week Duncan posted a gorgeous looking wild rice, apricot and almond salad.
• Veggie burgers: Another blog I’ve only discovered recently is Food Stories from the UK. I loved Helen’s veggie burgers, but am particularly intrigued by the radish & kohlrabi pickle. Click here for the recipe.
• Does the world really need? According to Mark Bittman, one company has started packaging hard-boiled eggs.
• Weight maintenance: Possibly more significant than the original loss, Subway’s Jared has maintained his weight for 10 years. Yoni Freedhoof makes the point “the more weight you’d like to permanently lose, the more of your lifestyle you’ll need to permanently change . . . Jared has kept his weight off because he likes his new lifestyle. Do you like yours?” See the full article here.
• The nutritional cacophany: CalorieLab this week has an article about the sheer quantity of weight loss talk that surrounds the average American. And I suspect this is also true of Australia.
