No matter how many new meal-kit services hit the market, people are still struggling to learn how to cook.
The Meatball Shop founder Daniel Holzman is out to change that with his new app, Project Foodie. The award-winning chef and cookbook author tells us all about the new app, which he claims is the cookbook of the future.
Project Foodie, which Holzman founded with his brother Eli, lets chefs of all skill levels follow along in real-time, featuring professionally-produced videos starring chef Holzman.
He tells Cheddar that he came up with the idea with his brother, who always asks for help in the kitchen. The app assists users with customized grocery lists, and delivery, before guiding them in the kitchen every step of the way.
Holzman tells us how you can use the app to cook Thanksgiving dinner. One of the app's 30 curated meals is "The Epic Thanksgiving Feast." It teaches chefs of all skill levels to cook turkey, stuffing, potatoes, gravy, cranberry sauces, and more.
Universities like UCLA, Yale, and Duke have announced they're implementing remote learning amid the COVID omicron variant surge, despite President Biden recommending that K-12 schools should continue in-person education. Jared C. Bass, senior director for Higher Education at American Progress, joined Cheddar to break down what institutions of higher education might be considering differently. "I think some universities are allowing periods of a bit of a respite to allow students to get testing and make sure when they do return back to campus that they're healthy," he noted.
The typical holiday rush to malls and other retail outlets on "Super Saturday" fell by 26 percent compared to 2019. Melissa Gonzalez, CEO and founder of retail strategist Lionesque Group, told Cheddar that shopping habits had already been changing. "I just think there's a shift in general. And then there's just a lot more pre-planning, and I don't think that's going to go away," she said. "You saw a lot of holiday gift guides go out earlier and deals go out earlier, so I think that's just going to be a trend going forward." She also discussed how cryptocurrency is going to play a role in retail in 2022.
