a baker’s review
“This has to be the best chocolate ice cream recipe bar none. This tastes exactly like Private Selection’s Chocolate Genache ice cream at my local Kroger’s. I wanted to have a darker color so I used 1/4c Black Cocoa and 1/4c of Ghirardelli Dutch Cocoa… I am floored how good this is.” Tracie on No Churn Chocolate Ice Cream.

“This has long been the situation with food on social media. Get enough eyes on a picture of food online and you’ll certainly become familiar with the “recipe?” commenter. Not all pictures of food warrant a recipe, and not all people who post food are recipe developers; sometimes, the point is just to be proud of a nice lunch. Yet the “recipe?” commenter sees no distinction between the professionalism of a published recipe meticulously shot and developed, and the individual’s personhood, preserved and savored. At best, it’s a well-meaning follower’s detour into modest annoyance; at worst, it’s the prelude to a total internet stranger becoming put out when a poster doesn’t provide on-demand service, tailored to every need. In 2022, The New York Times’s Tejal Rao wrote of this phenomenon, coining it the “endless torment of the ‘recipe?’ guy.”” On Instagram, Recipe-Sharing Automation Is Here to Stay, Eater.
“El Niño weather conditions in the past two years exacerbated the underlying warming trend of the climate, the authors found. “High temperatures and a lack of precipitation had widespread ramifications in 2023 and 2024, such as water supply shortages, low food supplies and power rationing,” they wrote. The impacts of drought stretch far beyond the borders of stricken countries. The report warned that drought had disrupted the production and supply chains of key crops such as rice, coffee and sugar. In 2023-2024, dry conditions in Thailand and India led to shortages that increased the price of sugar by 9% in the US.” Droughts worldwide pushing tens of millions towards starvation, says report, The Guardian.
