Ever wonder why food allergies seem to be everywhere now?
TEDxAustin - Robyn O’Brien 2011
Grounded in a successful Wall Street career that was more interested in food as good business than good-for-you, this mother of four was shaken awake by the dangerous allergic reaction of one of her children to a “typical” breakfast. Her mission to unearth the cause revealed more about the food industry than she could stomach, and impelled her to share her findings with others. Informative and inspiring.

I just started The Bread Baker’s Apprentice and was excited to find that Peter Reinhart gave a TED Talk on bread back in July 2008.
I can’t recommend his books enough. Last year around this time I decided to pick up his book American Pie – (my review here) and have made the recipes from there twice a week every week since. I can’t wait to tinker around with bread recipes.
PS — If you’re in the Charlotte, NC area check out Pie Town, a pizza restaurant he helped set up and oversees. I’m lucky to have a fiancé who has family there and so we all went out last November. The pizza itself wasn’t that exciting because he’s taught us to make awesome pizza at home …so it was more of a validation that I was doing it right.
In other words the pizza at Pie Town is excellent and amongst the best I’ve ever had.
I found Robert Lang: Idea + square = origami to be inspiring. Though it’s something I have approached before it’s a nice reminder that math, science, creativity, and art are not opposing forces.
