Krispy Kreme debuts new lemon doughnut for one week only

The folks at Krispy Kreme know how to keep customers coming back.

National Doughnut Day More than Modern Marketing Ploy, Dates Back to WWI

It’s hard not to be jaded about national food holidays nowadays. With roughly 450 current food holidays announced, there’s one for every day of the year, and then some. Most of these days tend to be created by those who stand to directly financially benefit from the public awareness and media attention such a day can bring. For example, National Drive-Thru Day was the brainchild of the fast food chain Jack in the Box while National Peanut Butter Day was created by the National Peanut Board. New holidays are reviewed by a small committee, and the creator is charged up to $4,000. But if there is one that doesn’t deserve your cynicism, it’s National Doughnut Day, celebrated the first Friday of every June. The origins of National Doughnut Day date back much further than the modern food holidays, and it has a much deeper history, too. The day is as much about celebrating the people behind…

Sushi donuts are taking over the food world

There are lots of different types of sushi out there—nigiri, sashimi, maki, uramaki, temaki—but donut shaped sushi? The idea was pioneered by vegan food Instagrammer Sam, aka @sobeautifullyreal with 300k followers, of Melbourne, Australia. She made the donuts by first greasing a silicon donut baking sheet with coconut oil and then filling it with cooled rice, avocado, ginger, sesame, wasabi and other ingredients you’d expect to find in a seaweed wrapped roll, not surrounding a donut hole. If you  simply can not go on living  without having these in your life, you can watch Sam’s how-to video on Instagram and make your own tonight. You can get really get creative with toppings—go with Mexican flavors and top the rice ring with jalepenos, cheddar and beans. Italian style could inspire asparagus and prosciutto, or think dessert with mango, kiwi, cream cheese and strawberry sauce “icing”. Image credit: sobeautifullyreal …
