With the Olympics in full swing, France is celebrating in a uniquely delicious way: with food, of course! This year, the spotlight is on the beloved baguette, a symbol of French culture and daily life.⁠ ⁠ Post offices across France are issuing scratch-and-sniff stamps featuring the iconic baguette and smelling like freshly baked bread. The stamps are a tribute to the baguette's recent recognition by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage. Each stamp shows a baguette adorned with a red, white, and blue ribbon, reflecting the French flag.⁠ ⁠ The baguette, with its golden crust and fluffy interior, has been a staple in French households for centuries. Its origins date back to the 19th century when French bakers refined the recipe to what we know today. This simple yet profound bread represents the essence of French culinary tradition.⁠ ⁠ As we watch athletes from around the world come together in the spirit of competition, let's also celebrate the way food, like the humble baguette, brings us together, transcending borders and connecting us all.⁠ ⁠ #FoodConnection #parisolympics #foodiesofinstagram #instayum #baguette #france #paris #foodstagram #instafood #recipe #foodpic #yummy #publicradio #delicious #cookbookaddict #hungry #podcastersofinstagram #diy #podcastaddict #recipeblogger #travelfoodie #foodie #foodbringspeopletogether #cometogether #unitedweeat #foodquotes #foodquote #inspirationalquotes ⁠#FoodRadio⁠

On July 29, 1900, the hamburger made its debut at the St. Louis World's Fair, thanks to Fletcher Davis of Athens, Texas. Known as "Old Dave," he served minced beef patties between bread slices, a creation that quickly gained popularity. Another key figure, Louis Lassen of New Haven, Connecticut, is also credited with serving the first hamburger sandwich in 1900.⁠ ⁠ As the hamburger gained popularity, various regional adaptations emerged, each adding its unique twist. From the classic cheeseburger to the modern gourmet varieties, the hamburger's evolution is a testament to its versatility and universal appeal.⁠ ⁠ In honor of today’s 124th anniversary of the hamburger’s world debut, here’s a delicious recipe for cheeseburgers from my cookbook United We Eat, available for purchase at the link in my bio. ⁠ ⁠ #FoodConnection #cookbookclub #foodiesofinstagram #instayum #instafoodgram #foodies #instagood #foodstagram #instafood #recipe #foodpic #yummy #publicradio #delicious #cookbookaddict #hungry #podcastersofinstagram #diy #podcastaddict #recipeblogger #travelfoodie #foodie #foodfestival #cometogether #unitedweeat #foodquotes #foodquote #inspirationalquotes ⁠#FoodRadio

Let's talk about a unique and historically significant dish from the American South: poke salad. This dish, also known as poke sallet or polk salad, turns a toxic weed into a delicious meal through careful preparation. Pokeweed, which grows abundantly in Southern Appalachia, needs to be boiled twice to remove its toxins before being sautéed, often in bacon grease. The result is a flavorful side dish similar to sautéed spinach or mustard greens.⁠ ⁠ Poke salad is a testament to the resourcefulness and resilience of Southern cooks, who made the most of what was available to them. This dish, much like Depression-era pies, showcases the ingenuity of turning unexpected ingredients into sustenance. It’s more than just food — it’s a piece of Southern heritage that reflects the creativity and adaptability of those who came before us.⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #FoodConnection #cookbookclub #foodiesofinstagram #instayum #instafoodgram #foodies #instagood #foodstagram #instafood #recipe #foodpic #yummy #publicradio #delicious #cookbookaddict #hungry #podcastersofinstagram #diy #podcastaddict #recipeblogger #travelfoodie #foodie #foodbringspeopletogether #cometogether #unitedweeat #foodquotes #foodquote #inspirationalquotes ⁠#FoodRadio⁠

In the news for international agriculture, a new Dartmouth-led commentary in Nature Food argues for sustainability and equity over industrial agriculture through the agroecology movement. Agroecology is gaining traction as a powerful approach to farming that aims to create food systems that are both environmentally friendly and socially just. Unlike industrial agriculture, which relies on chemicals and heavy machinery, agroecology promotes biodiversity, supports farmers' livelihoods, and ensures the food we eat is meaningful and culturally relevant.⁠ ⁠ In 2023, the U.S. Agroecology Summit highlighted the need for equitable representation and support for all stakeholders, including small family farmers, migrant workers, and Black and Indigenous farmers. This summit is part of a growing movement, which imagines a future where our food systems are sustainable and inclusive, providing healthy, culturally rich food for everyone while protecting our planet.

In 1843, Nancy Johnson revolutionized the dessert world by inventing the modern ice cream maker. Before her ingenious creation, making ice cream was a laborious and expensive process, accessible mainly to the wealthy.

Her invention was a true equalizer, bringing the joy of homemade ice cream to everyday people and not just the elite.

They bring together diverse flavors and communities, creating a vibrant tapestry of tastes and stories. Today marks the beginning of the Chicago Food Truck Festival, a celebration of this rich tradition.⁠ ⁠ Food trucks have a storied history, tracing back to 1866 when Charles Goodnight, a cattle herder, created the Chuck wagon to provide proper meals during cattle drives. This innovative concept laid the foundation for what we now know as the modern food truck, offering a wide range of cuisines and experiences.⁠ ⁠ The Chicago Food Truck Festival, now in its tenth season, showcases the evolution of this culinary phenomenon. It's a place where food lovers and entrepreneurs come together to explore the flavors that connect us all, and celebrate the spirit of community and innovation that food trucks embody. ⁠ ⁠ @chicagofoodtruckfestival⁠ ⁠ #FoodConnection #cookbookclub #foodiesofinstagram #instayum #instafoodgram #foodies #instagood #foodstagram #instafood #recipe #foodpic #yummy #foodtruck #delicious #cookbookaddict #hungry #foodtrucks #diy #podcastaddict #recipeblogger #travelfoodie #foodie #foodfestival #chicagofoodtruckfestival #chicago #foodquotes #festival #inspirationalquotes ⁠#FoodRadio

#OnThisDay (July 16) in 1969, the world watched in awe as Apollo 11 launched, marking the beginning of the first successful moon landing mission. This historic event not only showcased human ingenuity and exploration but also led to advancements in food preservation — most notably, the development of freeze-dried foods.⁠ ⁠ Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, was developed to prevent spoilage while retaining nutritional value, flavor, and texture. This technique became crucial for space travel, as it allowed astronauts to carry lightweight, long-lasting, and easy-to-prepare meals on their missions. ⁠ ⁠ Today, freeze-dried foods have a wide range of applications, popular among outdoor enthusiasts for camping, hiking, and emergency preparedness. Additionally, freeze-dried fruits and vegetables are commonly used as healthy snacks and ingredients in various culinary creations, maintaining the original flavors and nutrients. Whether you're preparing for an adventure or looking for convenient, nutritious options, freeze-dried foods continue to be a testament to innovation born from space exploration.⁠ ⁠ #FoodConnection #cookbookclub #foodiesofinstagram #instayum #instafoodgram #foodies #instagood #foodstagram #instafood #recipe #foodpic #yummy #publicradio #delicious #cookbookaddict #hungry #podcastersofinstagram #diy #apollo11 #recipeblogger #travelfoodie #foodie #foodfestival #cometogether #unitedweeat #foodquotes #foodquote #inspirationalquotes ⁠#FoodRadio

Today, in celebration of #BastilleDay, we honor a dish that brings us closer through its rich history and delightful flavors: Tart au Sucre.⁠ ⁠ Bastille Day, celebrated on July 14, commemorates the French Revolution's beginning in 1789 with the storming of the Bastille prison. It symbolizes freedom, unity, and the power of the people. This national holiday is marked with grand parades, fireworks, and a shared sense of pride and festivity across France.⁠ ⁠ Tart au Sucre, or sugar pie, is a traditional dessert that originated in French-speaking regions of North America, particularly Quebec. It's a testament to the enduring culinary influence of French settlers in the New World. This pie, made with pure maple syrup, butter, and cream, is a sweet celebration of simple, wholesome ingredients that have been cherished for generations.⁠ ⁠ Learn more about the Québécois influence on the U.S., check out our recent episode of @america_the_bountiful, in which we learn all about Maple Syrup in Vermont.
