Sunday Brunch #7

THE DOGS have been walked, the bread has been baked (I took care of that one last night) and I’ve also managed to push out the list of speakers for this year’s Foodcamp at Savour Kilkenny. Not a bad start to the morning in fairness. So, as I sit down to enjoy a read of the news from the past week on all matters food, technology, arts and culture, here’s a list of food articles that you may have missed this past week in the seventh installment of Sunday Brunch. You can catch last week’s round up here.

• Trendspotters Predict 2013 Will Be Year of Toast, Ancient Grains, Shared Pig Heads
• 12 Tips to Think Like a Chef | Eating Well
• Americans Eat Their Weight in Genetically Engineered Food
