Flow Charts

I've just been reading Chatelaine magazine's Top 9 Food Trends for 2012.  Prediction is still back to basics, including cooking without rubs, marinades and sauces.  Personally I've always liked a steak grilled with just salt and pepper.  Vegetables, roasted with some olive oil or steamed and tossed with some vegan spread or butter (the girl can't do dairy so vegan it is).  Black coffee is another trend (French Press and cup is all you need) -- although I've given up coffee and am into tea which I am drinking black/green/herbal and sugarless.

More on the trends at :

One trend is flow charts apparently, which lead me to check out this

And the rest of the Eating Rules blog has some interesting posts about eating and food.

Wow, neat to see that as always I'm on top of some trends and absolutely different to others.
I do like the trend of "back to the basics." All year, the meal I've most often made for Bernie and me has been the hot salad as demonstrated by Jamie Oliver: half-cooked vegetables boiled in home-made broth. Drain the broth, add about half of it to some mustard and balsamic vinegar. Pour over the hot veggies,top with grated cheese. MMM!
But I do like cooking meat with rubs. I'll make some new rubs and share them round again. That'll get people using rubs again. We'll start our own trend...
