Mexico does not have a long history with ice cream. The country’s first versions of the dessert were akin to snow cones, made from ice that was harvested from the summits of the country’s volcanoes and transported via donkeys and mules to urban areas. With a dash of salt and fruit mixed in, these “raspados”…
Yes, you can get a Reuben in lots of New York delicatessens and sandwich shops. Zingerman’s Deli, the long-established Jewish food emporium in Ann Arbor, Mich., is renowned for its version and will be bringing them to New York to the Olly Olly Market in Chelsea on Saturday. The classic Reuben and a pickle, along…
I love mattar paneer (the traditional Indian dish of peas and paneer in spiced, creamy tomato gravy), but I don’t love the break-out-the-blender hassle of puréeing the sautéed onions, tomatoes and cashews that you’ll find in most recipes. Sadly, that one step has usually been enough to knock the dish out of my low-effort weeknight…
Good morning. September played out strangely where I hang out: unreasonably Augustlike at first, and then hard into autumnal damp and gloom. I know we’re nowhere near last licks on grilling season, but there’s something a little valedictory about lighting the fires these days. I feel as if I’m cooking on borrowed time. So it’s…
If the DVD version of “The Dance,” a live album recorded by Fleetwood Mac in 1997, was playing in the living room of my childhood home, I knew I’d be in for one hell of a meal. On a Friday or a Saturday, my parents would often kick off the evening with a glass of…

Have one friend find the fish and put another on vegetable duty; you’ll provide the pantry staples (broken rice, tomato…
It has never been easy for Mary Cole to support herself and the 19-year-old grandson who lives with her in Bristol, Va., on her monthly $914 Supplemental Security Income check. But it’s getting harder. “I’ve been struggling a lot,” Ms. Cole said. Because benefits counselors at her local agency on aging have helped her apply…
After making and tasting dozens over the course of my baking career, I had pretty much accepted that cinnamon rolls, like scones and madeleines, are good only when eaten fresh from the oven. A roll that is tender, moist and delicious when warm turns brittle, dry and lifeless just hours later at room temperature. But…
Good morning. It was one of those meals that sticks in your mind for days afterward: steamed lobsters with drawn butter and a plate of baby potatoes. I won’t wax on about the lobsters. They were perfect and should have been. That’s what you’re paying for, when you buy lobster. But, man, those potatoes. Wrinkled…
