The protein powder boom, anchovies, ancient Roman recipes, and more!

  • Whey, the liquid byproduct of cheese making, was once considered waste. It's now a key ingredient in the protein powders that dieters and weightlifters are downing in ever-greater amounts — and that means big changes for the dairy industry, reports Kevin Draper.
  • Horror film producer turned food historian Christopher Beckman chronicles the anchovy's place in the European cooking canon.
  • Sally Grainger reinterprets Roman recipes taken from Latin texts.
  • As students head back to school, we catch up with Jack Bobo, Executive Director of the UCLA Rothman Family Institute for Food Studies.
