Vintage Russian honey gingerbread

Vintage Russian honey gingerbread

[ 2 ] September 21, 2013 |

Brief history of Russian honey gingerbread One of the oldest Russian pastry delicacies is what Russians call pryanik, a big cookie (you may call it small honey cake) baked with honey. The closest American word describing pryanik is gingerbread. But please make no mistake: Russian pryaniks are quite different from gingerbread in recipes, texture and […]

Watch out!  It’s another back-to-school season. What this means for the food industry sharks? It’s time for them assault YOUR children; perhaps, not physically but… yes, chemically. For the food industry your children are just a market (see Food marketing to children) that is millions of brainless mouths and stomachs to trick into paying for […]

Lofthouse Patriotic Cookies: The domestic food terrorism

Lofthouse Patriotic Cookies: The domestic food terrorism

[ 4 ] June 27, 2012 |

Do you know what irritates me the most every time I visit the local Walmart grocery? It’s the exposition of Lofthouse Cookies stacked on the shelves right by the entrance so that no one could miss them. Those miserable talentless junk-food cookies change their names and artificial colors according to the seasons and holidays but sadly […]

Oreo cookies: processed and toxic

Oreo cookies: processed and toxic

[ 2 ] May 13, 2012 |

Although recently reviewed Oreo Milk’s Favorite sandwich cookies of Craft Foods/Nabisco are far from being the best nutritious choice, they, at least, don’t contain potentially dangerous food additives (read Behavior, Learning and Health: The Dietary Connection). Oreo Ice Cream cookies represent completely different case: a variety of four artificial food colorants is included. Therefore, the […]

Oreo cookies: processed but not toxic

Oreo cookies: processed but not toxic

[ 0 ] May 2, 2012 |

In my opinion, Lofthouse Cookies stacked at every Walmart store belong to the “food terrorism” category in America. Different only in colors of icing they are always made of dozens of non-nutritional and toxic ingredients. Make no mistake, your Oreo cookie is also highly processed composition of refined macronutrients  and food additives, but at least […]

Not the one which secretly hates you, your body and your lover! And yet, here you go, there is blood-red Soft Sugar Cookies of Walmart Bakery, “baked with pride” […]

Maamoul Cookies: The Quality You Can Trust

[ 0 ] January 2, 2012 |

I have reviewed Lofthouse Frosted Sugar Cookies a number of times. They are produced in the USA in slightly different manner (mostly by color) by any occasion like Valentine’s Day (rose), St. Patrick’ Day (green), Back to School  (red) event or Christmas but they all are essentially the same: some 40 (!) ingredients including 14 […]

Spooky Lofthouse Cookie

[ 1 ] October 22, 2011 |

No stated value While I don’t mind if Halloween baked goods are designed to look scary, the scary food additives are certainly not what we want. Recently I have reviewed “Back To School” Lofthouse cookies. Here is another example of almost exactly the same poor nutrition and high health risk product. Suspiciously, there is no […]
