The countdown to the holiday season has begun. While some folks are itching to break out the decorations and put up a tree, I’m more focused on all the best Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales just waiting to be shopped. Namely, Nordstrom, a retailer that really knows how to throw down each year. While…
Born in Paris in 1975, Ms. Sivrière grew up between the mountain resorts of Megève and Chamonix, in southeastern France. She was drawn to jewelry at a young age, after meeting a friend of her father’s who worked in the diamond trade. “I was mesmerized by the beauty and reflection of this stone,” she wrote.…
Deanna Fei did not need a man. She was in her 20s, living in Shanghai on a Fulbright scholarship, writing her first novel: a book about fiercely independent Chinese women, very much like Deanna herself. Growing up as a first-generation Chinese American, Deanna resented the way some men, specifically white men, looked down on her.…

Frankly, I’d rather sift flour into a small bowl, peel potatoes with a dull paring knife or winkle out pomegranate arils wearing a white T-shirt than sort through green beans. That’s how much I love Scott’s take on the vegetable, from his debut cookbook, “Fix Me a Plate.” Slow-braised in rich, savory chicken stock, fortified…

Some years ago, scientists in Switzerland found a way to make people hallucinate. They didn’t use LSD or sensory deprivation chambers. Instead, they sat people in a chair and asked them to push a button that, a fraction of a second later, caused a rod to gently press their back. After a few rounds, the…
A head of Rosa di Campo Rosso radicchio can, as its name suggests, look convincingly like a rose, with silken red leaves. It might also — depending on its genetic mix — resemble a crimson-speckled yellow orchid or a shocking pink peony. But it is, definitively, a vegetable: a herbaceous perennial descended from the ordinary…
