food in the news

Junk food news (also known as junk news or junk journalism) is a sardonic term for news stories that deliver "sensationalized, personalized, and homogenized inconsequential trivia",
especially when such stories appear at the expense of serious investigative journalism. It implies a criticism of the mass media for disseminating news that, while not very nourishing, is "cheap to produce and profitable for media proprietors."

    Meat Free BBQ

    Well I'd debate the prep times on these recipes, it would take me as long just to gather the ingredients as the prep time states 😆 But they are restaurant dishes and were probably estimated by chefs with everything to hand. Any of them appeal? Meat-free barbecue: Ben Allen’s recipes for...
