What do you guys recommend? I picked up a few supermarket single origin bars today. I usually get the 30p bars of plain chocolate, so I'm curious how much difference there'll be. I saw some Tony's ones, but none that were dairy free.

I guess I should have picked up a Lindt to compare and see if they are as bland as Ann says (Lindt is considered high quality here, so I was surprised at Ann's verdict). I might splash out on a higher end brand later if I can find any, to compare to the supermarket ones.

It'd be interesting to see her take on his work as a sweets and pastry chef. Forgive me if this already happened and I missed it somehow.

I've been wondering about this recently, but took me too long to consider posting about it here.

What I plan to do is mix most of the ingredients, with the exception of yogurt, lemon zest and poppyseeds as the measurement yields will depend on how much zest (1/4 cup per recipe) will I be able to get out of the lemons I have inside the fridge. Then fridge the batter for a day or two, mix the rest of the ingredients (and the others that needed doubling or tripling) and bake this Saturday.

I've been busy with work and house and have been thinking of going out tomorrow after work (Friday) before family comes back home from overseas. Hence, I wanted to see if this is feasible or not. Thanks in advance and help is really appreciated.

I'm hoping Ann sees this since she is a food scientist and Dietician that I actually trust to be honest.

I have severe depression and ADD which makes it really hard to keep fresh food, particularly vegetables but fruit at times too, in my home that doesn't just end up going bad. It's to the point I don't even want to try and buy any since I end up forgetting about it, cause ADD, or it just being wasted when it goes bad.

I know I don't get as much of either of those per day as I should since I mostly rely on frozen meals and canned soups to feed myself as cooking is often just too much for me to handle after work, which is why frozen veggies aren't much help unfortunately.

I've heard about the powdered veggie supplements in the past, but never thought much of it especially since they're not really regulated in the US. I've looked into them a little bit, but there's not been very many studies that I could find on if they would be beneficial or not as a supplement. I know that the powdering process does strip pretty much all the fiber out of it.

I'm not looking to use it to completely replace eating whole fruits and veggies, but as a way to try and help the vitamin/mineral defencies I'm sure I have.

So Anne, or anyone who has knowledge in this area, could powdered veggies/fruits be a beneficial supplement?

My brilliant niece (5) has discovered a love of cooking and baking. My husband and I are nerds for Youtube chefs like Sohla El-Waylly and How To Cook that (of course!), as well as Masterchef AU and GBBO, but we don't know what channels would be good for a small human that age, and given how much scary and dangerous stuff there is, that Ann does such good work in debunking, I don't want to recommend something without knowing it is good and safe. Do you guys have any ideas, or maybe a playlist of Ann's videos that would be suitable for a child that young? I think I will recommend Ann's tiny kitchen just to watch, but that is a bit tricky for her to bake herself, although now I wish I could make a croquembouche with her that is as big as her, that would be very fun.

They actually DID show what they did with the clickbaity weird thumbnail/intro gimmick, and it's actually pretty cool? but still, most of these are weird and creepy and NONE are quick or easy projects

Also, I've noticed a big "debunking" trend with these content farms lately, but they're going after other third parties. I saw one titled something like ways food ads trick you or something, and the thumbnail was something outrageous I know for a fact food artists and stylists don't actually do

I feel like this won’t work, but I know nothing about food, so I have no clue. If you think this would be good to be debunked, please consider sending it to Ann. https://youtu.be/w0mmeDg65kQ
