I’ve left Martin for another slider bun. Angelic Bakehouse in Cudahy, Wis., makes its new ones with seven sprouted whole grains and whole-wheat flour, but no chemical additives. All taste mildly wheaty, adding character to summer’s grilled meat patties and sausages. The buns are vegan and kosher. The company also makes wraps, pizza crusts and…
As some parts of the country “open up” and families venture beyond their households, parents are faced with hard decisions about what children can do. There are no official guidelines, so I asked smart and experienced pediatricians from around the country what questions they are getting from parents, and how they’re answering them. Spoiler alert:…
Planet Oat Frozen Desserts has introduced nondairy frozen desserts in six flavors: vanilla, chocolate, cookies and crème, coffee fudge swirl, chocolate peanut butter swirl and blueberry oat crumble. The collection of six is notable for its smooth texture; they behave like ice cream. Aside from the rather sweet blandness of the vanilla, the others are…

In the time since the world’s scientists and public health officials first became widely aware of the new coronavirus in January, they’ve had six months to learn about it. They’ve reached many conclusions about the virus and the illness it causes, from the importance of wearing masks to contain it, to the unusual range of…
In 2018, when Louis Vuitton named Virgil Abloh as its men’s wear artistic director, it made Mr. Abloh, the founder of Off-White, a Nike collaborator and the former creative director for Kanye West, one of the first black designers at the top of a French heritage house. The appointment was seen as the dawn of…

The unnatural loss of biodiversity is accelerating, and if it continues, the planet will lose vast ecosystems and the necessities they provide, including fresh water, pollination, and pest and…
Cooking, frankly, was the last thing on my mind this weekend. But we had to eat. So I made the most nourishing, comforting, filling thing I could think of for dinner on Sunday night: colcannon, an Irish dish of mashed potatoes and greens that I covered with fried leeks. The fried leeks aren’t traditional in…
A weekend protest in Newark ended at the same intersection where one of the most wrenching and deadly of the race riots that convulsed the nation during the 1960s began.
