Whether it’s for health, ethics or a quest to find the right balance of flavors, there are a lot of reasons to eat a plant-based diet.

“I think it’s growing the segment of diners who are hoping for vegetarian and vegan options,” food writer Liz Cook said. “That’s become something that people are thinking about a lot more both for sustainability and ethical reasons, but also, really, climate reasons — we know how carbon intensive meat production is.”

Food blogger Chuck Munson has been a vegetarian since 1989. When he created hi…….

Truth be told, I’m not brilliant at either New Year’s resolutions or giving things up. If pushed to choose, however, I’d far sooner not eat meat for January than refuse the odd glass of wine, which at this time of the year is frankly medicinal. And not eating meat or fish is the most brilliant way of having to ramp up flavour, colour and crunch: vibrant green peas, bright orange squash, palate-wakening aromatics, crunchy seeds and nuts, fresh herbs, chilli heat … The food we eat in January, and beyond, can be as much about dialling things up as it is about giving…….

Chickpeas are a legendary budget staple, both filling and versatile, as well as a great get-out-of-jail card when vegans pop over for tea. But you can’t just sprinkle them into a salad with that damp “tin juice” flavour still clinging to them; you need to wake them up first to celebrate their full potential. That’s why I love to bake them, creating extra-crisp treats supercharged with flavour.

While the world continues to reel from how far artificial intelligence has come with projects like ChatGPT, Chinese researchers recently claimed that they have been able to crack encryption using quantum computing—something scientists have assumed was years away from happening.

A group of Chinese researchers published a “scientific paper” last month that said they used quantum computers to break a …….

A team of researchers in China has unveiled a technique that — theoretically — could crack the most commonly used types of digital privacy using a rudimentary quantum computer.

The technique worked in a small-scale demonstration, the researchers report, but other experts are sceptical that the procedure could scale up to beat ordinary computers at the task. Still, they warn that the paper, posted late last month on the arXiv …….

Back in 2020, Ring announced a security camera for your car that connects to the company’s wider home security ecosystem. Now, slightly after its planned 2021 release date, Ring is opening pre-orders for Car Cam, the newest member of its security family. The unit is pretty small, but projects up and away on a cantilever arm mounted to your dashboard to give it the necessary height.

There are two cameras, one to keep an eye on the interior, the other facing out the front window to capture any insurance-worthy incidents. Should the system’s sensors be startled, it’ll trigger a re…….
