Wednesday Food News

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Today's New York Times featured a big story on red velvet cake, which is popping up (even in cupcake form) in bakeries all over the city. The story was the #2 most e-mailed today, and includes a recipe. I'm sure I'll try it one of these days, but I was disappointed that no cupcake recipe was included. Plus, the fact that the recipe calls for six tablespoons of red food coloring freaks me out a little.
