Cookbooks on their way out as the nation gets its recipes from TikTok
A glossy hard-back cookbook is deemed too extravagant and expensive by the youth of today who prefer TikTok - and lots of them have never heard of Beef Wellington Cookbooks could soon be a thing of the past as younger generations believe they are outdated. Flicking through gravy-stained pages of recipe books by chefs such as Delia Smith could one day be a distant memory. New findings have shown 88% of youngsters get recipe ideas from social media sites such as Tik Tok. Some 38% of people in their twenties said they didn't own a cookbook, while 56% said all the recipes they need are online. Findings by Mozzarella makers Galbani showed 36% believe they are too expensive when recipes are free on the internet. TikTok, Instagram, parents and food websites were the go-to destinations for what and how to cook. And traditional recipes are also dying out, with 42% admitting they have never heard of Beef Wellington. Fish pie, souffle and Coq au Vin were also dishes youngsters didn't know how to make. Galbani said they have been replaced by foods such as burger bowls, pizza soup, marry me chicken - a viral creamy casserole, watermelon and burrata salad, big mac tacos, cucumber salad and vodka pasta. They said: "As many as 90 percent think modern Brits are more adventurous with their food than previous generations."

Pizza Week 2025: Brickhouse Pizza Company
OWEGO, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Our Special Pizza Correspondent Mike Tanzini is clocking in for one more shift at an Owego pizza spot where all eyes are on the oven. When Rick Tricolla decided that it was time to slow down from the pizza business and move upstate, he wasn't planning on pounding any more dough. But those plans didn't last long. 'To be honest with you – we were semi-retired, and we found a need. I always loved wood-fired brick oven pizza, and I couldn't find one in the Greater Owego and Binghamton area that so we decided to take the plunge again,' said Tricolla. A lifelong pizzamaker and business owner, Tricolla has operated woodfire pizzerias in Brooklyn and on Long Island. While each pizza ingredient has a big role to play, the oven is the star of the show. 'The cooking, the flavor, it just can't be matched with a gas oven. Some people use gas, propane and wood. It's just not the same. We are strictly wood. I think it shows in the final product,' said Tricolla. So, Tricolla set out to find his next woodfire location and stumbled a vacant storefront along 17-C in Owego. 'I literally tripped over this. I was driving by and just tripped over it. The landlord was a nice fellow and it had some parking, so we decided to take a shot,' said Tricolla. Tricolla opened Brickhouse Pizza Company last fall and rolled out his menu of custom, personal 12-inch pies featuring unique flavor combinations and fresh ingredients. 'They're all cooked individually to order. There's a little bit of a char to it that people aren't used to. It's a totally different product than what standard pizza is defined as,' said Tricolla. And, so far, customers are loving the woodfire variation. 'I wasn't sure how people would react to it but overwhelmingly, people really enjoy the different combinations of vegetables, cheeses and meats. Specialty orders don't upset us. If anyone wants a custom pizza, we're glad to accommodate,' said Tricolla. It all starts with the dough, which is made up of several blends of flour. Once it's mixed, cut, and weighed, it goes into a 24 to 36 hour fermentation period. And, for those keeping score at home… 'And a 65% hydration for people who know what I'm talking about,' said Tricolla. The dough is stretched out, and unfortunately, my dough is looking stressed out. 'We're on step 2 and we're already in contingency salvage mode.' Now, we add the sauce, made up of California, San Marzano, and a few other types of tomato. Fresh herbs and spices are added to enhance the sauce's vibrant flavor. We top it off with freshly grated Grande brand Mozzarella, commonly known as the Holy Grail of pizza cheeses. Tricolla says the fresh, quality ingredients he uses really makes his pies stand out. 'In the end, a lot of people try to cut corners, but we use premium and the best products on the market. Everything is made daily. It's a little more work, it's a little more expensive, but I believe everybody tastes the difference,' said Tricolla. We place our pies in the 750-degree oven, and before long, we are ready to pull it out. 'When I was doing my research and homework, I got a pizza insurance policy under Jim's name. Let's see if we'll need it here. Nice and easy. Alright! Jim doesn't need to know about the insurance. We're all good.' It's break time on my first day so why not have a quick slice with the guys? 'Richard, Rick, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of the Brickhouse Pizza Company family today. Cheers! Perfetto! Well, time to get back to work.'

Family favourite pizza brand axes popular flavour from all UK supermarkets and shoppers are ‘gutted'
Has your favourite product vanished from shelves? We'd love to hear from you - email us on money@ PIZZA THAT Family favourite pizza brand axes popular flavour from all UK supermarkets and shoppers are 'gutted' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAMILY favourite pizza brand sold in major supermarkets has been axed, leaving shoppers devastated. Dr. Oetker's Pizza Pollo has now permanently disappeared from supermarket shelves. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 Dr Oetker Ristorante Pizza Pollo has been discontinued The savoury delight came with a tomato base and was topped with chicken, sweetcorn and herbs. It cost around £3 and was found in the frozen aisle of supermarkets like Tesco, Asda, Morrisons, Sainsbury's and Iceland. Eagle-eyed customers took to social media to find out what happened to the Italian-inspired dish. Writing on X, one customer said: "I cannot find your pizza pollo anywhere anymore. "I am absolutely gutted as it was my fave. Has it been discontinued???" A spokesperson confirmed in a response to the customer that the pizza flavour was no more. They said: "Our Pollo pizza has been discontinued in the UK, but we'll let our pizza experts know that you want it back! Thanks." The move will come as a blow to shoppers who in the past described it as "delicious." Another shopper said the pizza was their "family's favourite". They said: "The amount of tomato and cheese is just right on the base then you get the toppings of chicken and spinach which are delicious." Beloved pizza chain to close down for good in just weeks after 54 years Dr. Oetker still has a range of flavours available to customers, including Mozzarella and Hawaiian. The news comes in the same week pizza lovers were told that Domino's Ultimate Chicken Mexicana Pizza was axed. The menu option combined spiced pulled chicken, juicy tomatoes, crunchy onions, spicy jalapenos and green and red peppers, topped with a spiced mayo drizzle. However, Domino's has now confirmed it has been dropped from menus. MORE DISCONTINUED FOOD Foodies were also devastated to learn that Greggs has axed two menu items. The Chargrill Chicken Oval Bite and Spicy Veg Curry Bake are no longer being sold in stores. Elsewhere, Sticky soy sauce has now permanently disappeared from the Wetherspoon menu. The Asian-inspired dip, which was often served with breast bites, was a popular choice amongst diners. Spoons has also cut steak, mixed grills and gammon from menus across the country in a cost-cutting shake-up. But it is not all bad news for punters as the chain has launched a range of new Gourmet Burgers. Spoons also launched a £2.99 breakfast deal in February, with customers able to get a breakfast muffin or small breakfast with soft or hot drink.

Borden® Cheese Sparks a Great Grilled Cheese Sandwich Debate; Unites Fans with Chance to Win a Year of Free Cheese
New National Grilled Cheese Day survey data shows sandwich fans agree: no matter how you like your toast, it's ALL about the cheese! CHICAGO, April 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- While grilled cheese may be the ultimate comfort food, new data shows that what makes a melt perfect is very personal. In celebration of National Grilled Cheese Day on April 12, Borden® Cheese released new survey findings revealing that grilled cheese preferences are anything but universal – more than one in 10 grilled cheese fans swear by a deep, toasty char for their bread (with 12% describing their preferred cook as anywhere from well done to burnt), while seven in 10 insist on a golden brown crisp. But no matter where fans stand on the toasty spectrum, one thing is certain: it's the cheese that really 'makes' a sandwich, and all grilled cheese is better with Borden. Enter the Borden Grilled Cheese Swatch Book, available at Filled with eight bread toast tones ranging from Sunkissed to Well Done and 13 Borden Cheese suggestions, from melty Cheddar and Mozzarella to Muenster and Lactose-Free American, the book is designed to inspire fans to mix and match the tones to create one-of-a-kind grilled cheeses matched to their personal vision of perfection. While Borden's Grilled Cheese Swatch Books are in limited supply, the brand will continue to celebrate all things cheese, serving up the chance to win a variety of delicious prizes all month long. From 100 instant win swag packs featuring Borden coupons and fun branded merchandise to cheese for a year, fans can visit where else but for their chance to win. One Grand Prize recipient will net everything needed to create the ultimate grilled cheese experience – including a year's supply of personalized cheese selections and a gourmet panini press to perfect their melt at home. Why Borden is Bread's Best Friend According to the survey data, melty cheese is exactly what all fans love. Nearly half (47%) of grilled cheese connoisseurs are purists, sticking to the basics of cheese and bread to achieve an ooey-gooey sandwich. Made with real milk from American dairy farm families, Borden® delivers the rich, creamy taste that makes the melty sandwich you crave. When it comes to the type of cheese, American (49%) and Cheddar (46%) dominate the rankings, proving that the most iconic melts are built on tradition. But don't count out Mozzarella (27%), Swiss (22%), Pepper Jack (21%), and Colby Jack (20%) – each has a dedicated fanbase keeping things interesting. From classic combos to more adventurous picks, Borden has the varieties to make your sandwich truly your own. While toast tones and cheese choices are up for debate, burnt isn't on the menu for parents. Nearly one out of every three parents that make grilled cheese sandwiches report having to remake a grilled cheese because the toast level wasn't quite right (30%). Grilled cheese lovers may disagree on toast levels and toppings, but all agree that cheese is the star. 'It is so exciting to realize how much heart people have for making grilled cheese their way. What Borden loves is that no matter what perfect means to you, great cheese is something everyone can agree on,' said Jenny Mehlman, senior director of marketing, Cheese, Taste and Flavors at Dairy Farmers of America.
