Epic Tacos
2. Double-Tomato Pasta Salad I appreciate this pasta dish from Ali Slagle because it uses an ingredient that should make a comeback: the sun-dried tomato.

A Lentil Soup With Its Heart in Armenia
For her birthday, my friend Audrey wanted one thing: a lentil soup from Yerevan Market and Cafe, an Armenian spot in the Adams Morgan neighborhood of Washington, D.C.

A Bet She Couldn’t Resist
“Why aren’t you eating?” my mother said to me, her Yonkers accent blaring into the otherwise hushed Chinese restaurant. A 77-year-old Italian-American hairdresser who believed that almost all problems could be solved with a pile of spaghetti and meatballs, she viewed my lack of appetite as a warning flare. “I’m fine,” I said. “My sesame…
