How did the Forever Green Initiative come about? Well, if you really think about it, that happened in 1974. The philosophy has been there for a long time. One day, I was making a presentation, and I basically laid out a title for new resilient, agriculture systems: evergreen crops. Forever Green caught on. What’s the…
Lo que pensamos sobre los alimentos que desencadenan las migrañas y otros tipos de dolores de cabeza puede estar equivocado, afirman los expertos.
This story is part of an occasional series exploring nightlife in New York. Neal Bakshi and Oliver Griffiths were sitting on stationary Citi Bikes in Brooklyn last Saturday night, using them as makeshift tables and chairs as they ate their dinner. Mr. Bakshi, 29, was eating fajitas from a truck parked to their right while…
Back in the early 1980s, Mâcon-Villages was my gateway to white Burgundy, though I had no idea at the time. I knew it was white, French and cheap, $5.99 in the era when that price could buy a decent bottle. I might even have known it was chardonnay, though that fact had few of the…
Scones and strawberry jam is such a classic pairing that, naturally, it’s rife with debate. First, there’s the pronunciation of scone.

There are some types of dishes you find the world over. They have different names on their passports and come in diverging styles, but they share delicious fundamentals. The breaded cutlet — known aliases include katsu, schnitzel and Milanesa — is one of them, and a favorite of mine. So I was in heaven when I…
A long line for bagels in New York City isn’t a remarkable sight. It is, though, when the bagels come from Connecticut. On a recent Sunday, dozens of New Yorkers crowded inside the Manhattan West location of Daily Provisions, eager to snag the bubbled, golden-hued wares of Popupbagels, a bakery in Redding, Conn., that has…
Alex and Miles Pincus refer to Holywater, their new bar below the sidewalks of TriBeCa, as their first “land bar” in New York City. It’s not a strange distinction when you consider that every bar the brothers and bar owners have opened in New York up until this point has been seasonal, either near or…
Like many cooks I know, I don’t always follow recipes for grain bowls at home. Instead, I tend to use up what I have in the fridge and pantry, mixing and matching, figuring out how to make odds and ends delicious. A perfect grain bowl has four basic components, all of which are generously seasoned…
