Grain and Fire
While a luscious layer cake may exemplify the towering glory of southern baking, like everything about the American South, baking is far more complicated than it seems. Rebecca Sharpless here weaves a brilliant chronicle, vast in perspective and entertaining in detail, revealing how three global food traditions-Indigenous American, European, and African-collided with and merged in the economies, cultures, and foodways of the South to create what we know as the southern baking tradition. Recognizing that sentiments around southern baking run deep, Sharpless takes delight in deflating stereotypes as she delves into the surprising realities underlying the creation and consumption of baked goods. People who controlled the food supply in the South used baking to reinforce their power and make social distinctions. Who used white cornmeal and who used yellow, who put sugar in their cornbread and who did not had traditional meanings for southerners, as did the proportions of flour, fat, and liquid in biscuits. By the twentieth century, however, the popularity of convenience foods and mixes exploded in the region, as it did nationwide. Still, while some regional distinctions have waned, baking in the South continues to be a remarkable, and remarkably tasty, source of identity and entrepreneurship.

Oyster cooking practices in the United States-based restaurants—A survey
Despite longstanding oyster cooking recommendations, outbreaks associated with cooked oysters still occur. A survey of U.S.-based restaurants was conducted to investigate common cooking practices, including steaming, baking, and roasting. Target restaurants were identified using Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes and surveyed through live phone interviews and online. The questionnaire included open- and closed-ended questions for restaurant staff, including chefs and managers, with topics covering customer and serving quantities, source of purchase, common cooking methods, cooking time and temperature combinations, and the use of thermometers. A total of 105 complete responses were collected from California, Florida, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Oregon, Virginia, and Washington. On a weekly basis, the majority of restaurants served 1–1,000 customers with 1–500 dozen oysters. The most frequently used cooking methods were frying (46%), followed by baking (36%), steaming (30%), and then roasting (23%). On average, baking was performed at a temperature of 185 ± 64°C for 9 ± 4 minutes, roasting at 207 ± 54°C for 8 ± 6 minutes, and steaming for 5 ± 3 minutes, with no correlation being found between cooking time and temperature for either technique. Additionally, 57% of the surveyed restaurants did not use thermometers when cooking oysters. This study highlights the variations in oyster cooking practices in U.S. restaurants, emphasizing the need to assess the effectiveness of different cooking techniques through quantitative microbial risk assessment of the most common pathogens in oysters. This will help improve food safety guidelines and minimize health risks associated with the consumption of partially cooked oysters.

Health assessment of snacks and desserts in Guizhou Province: Analysis of fatty acids and sugar content
Dietary patterns, particularly the excessive consumption of snacks high in fats and sugars, remain a pivotal factor producing adverse impact on the global prevalence of obesity and chronic diseases. However, the current situation is that there is insufficient study on the nutritional value and health risks of local snacks and desserts of Guizhou Province. To fill this gap, this study aimed to analyze the fatty acid (FA) composition and sugar content of popular snacks and desserts in Guizhou Province.
A comprehensive nutritional evaluation was conducted on local snacks and desserts in Guizhou province, with a focus on the FA profile and five sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose). The study examined how cooking methods (steaming, baking, frying) and food classification (traditional vs. non-traditional) influence the nutritional profiles of these foods, which are predominantly made from rice, wheat, and cream.
Rice-based foods, particularly those steamed using traditional methods, showed superior nutritional profiles. They had significantly lower crude fat (7.35±1.50 g/100g) and total FA (6.10±1.55 g/100g) compared to other methods. Trans fatty acid (TFA) content was minimal (0.0179±0.0137 g/100g), and atherogenic index (AI) and thrombogenic index (TI) were low at 0.19±0.07 and 0.38±0.27, respectively. Rice-based foods also had an acceptable sugar content with no lactose, suitable for lactose-intolerant individuals. Among the rice-based foods, Rice Tofu (RT) had the best performance with the lowest Crude Fat (5.98 g/100g), AI (0.04), TI (0.05), highest monounsaturated FA (MUFA) content (3.11 g/100g), polyunsaturated FA (PUFA) to saturated FA (SFA) ratio (8.48), and n-3PUFA/n-6PUFA ratio (0.25), along with acceptable sugar levels.
The nutritional value of snacks varies widely due to differences in raw materials, cooking methods, and traditional preparation techniques. Traditional steamed rice products, especially RT, offer the best nutritional profile and can be promoted as representative healthy traditional foods in Guizhou Province.

GC-MS, GC-IMS, and E-Nose Analysis of Volatile Aroma Compounds in Wet-Marinated Fermented Golden Pomfret Prepared Using Different Cooking Methods
The cooking method is extremely important for the production of low-salt, wet-marinated, fermented golden pomfret because it strongly influences its flavor components and organoleptic quality. There are also significant differences in flavor preferences in different populations. The present study analyzed differences in the aroma characteristics of wet-marinated fermented golden pomfret after boiling, steaming, microwaving, air-frying, and baking using a combination of an electronic nose, GC-IMS, and SPME-GC-MS. Electronic nose PCA showed that the flavors of the boiled (A), steamed (B), and microwaved (C) treatment groups were similar, and the flavors of the baking (D) and air-frying (E) groups were similar. A total of 72 flavor compounds were detected in the GC-IMS analysis, and the comparative analysis of the cooked wet-marinated and fermented golden pomfret yielded a greater abundance of flavor compounds. SPME-GC-MS analysis detected 108 flavor compounds, and the results were similar for baking and air-frying. Twelve key flavor substances, including hexanal, isovaleraldehyde, and (E)-2-dodecenal, were identified by orthogonal partial least-squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and VIP analysis. These results showed that the cooking method could be a key factor in the flavor distribution of wet-marinated fermented golden pomfret, and consumers can choose the appropriate cooking method accordingly. The results can provide theoretical guidance for the more effective processing of fish products and the development of subsequent food products.

Cooking behaviours after Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) participation among DPP participants in Baltimore, MD
The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) is a widely implemented 12-month behavioural weight loss programme for individuals with prediabetes. The DPP covers nutrition but does not explicitly incorporate cooking skills education. The objective of the current study is to describe food and cooking skills (FACS) and strategies of recent DPP participants.
Photo-elicitation in-depth interviews were conducted from June to August, 2021.
Baltimore, MD, USA.
Thirteen Black women who participated in DPP.
The DPP curriculum influenced participants' healthy cooking practices. Many participants reported shifting from frying foods to air-frying and baking foods to promote healthier cooking and more efficient meal preparation. Participants also reported that their participation in DPP made them more mindful of consuming fruits and vegetables and avoiding foods high in carbohydrates, fats, sugars and Na. With respect to food skills, participants reported that they were more attentive to reading labels and packaging on foods and assessing the quality of ingredients when grocery shopping.
Overall, participants reported changing their food preferences, shopping practices and cooking strategies to promote healthier eating after completing the DPP. Incorporating hands-on cooking skills and practices into the DPP curriculum may support sustained behaviour change to manage prediabetes and prevent development of type 2 diabetes among participants.
