A fish pie, creamy on the bottom, covered in mashed potatoes on top, is a classic cold weather staple across the British Isles. Like its meaty cousin, shepherd’s pie, it has a cozy appeal as inviting as a fluffy rug next to the fire. But filled with seafood rather than lamb, a fish pie makes…
LONDON — There’s a lot of wrapping up going on at this time of the year. Presents get wrapped up as we prepare for the holidays. The year gets wrapped up in advance of a new one just around the corner. (Even our bodies get wrapped up as the temperature drops.) Whatever we’re wrapping up, for…
Everyone dies, but almost nobody expects to die today. Yet, accidents do happen. In 2017, accidents and unintentional injuries were the third-most-common cause of death of Americans. Although we live in a remarkably safe world by historical standards, many of us needlessly increase our risk of sickness, injury and even death without realizing it. Let’s…
On one plate lie cuts of steak, black-edged and blushing, alongside potatoes dauphinoise, and on another, crimson-stained rice suffused with the deep, thrilling funk of guedj, fermented dried fish, and yete, sea snails buried in sand and then dried in the sun, tasting of brine, smoke and musk.

Yet as the popularity of merlot nose-dived, syrah never could replace it. Partly, it was because much California syrah was planted…
Almost every region in the world that produces still wine makes some form of sparkling wine as well. Given this bounty, why would consumers choose American sparkling wines?

Maanchi’s cheese buldak did good business. And so did this cannellini-bean pasta with beurre blanc that Tejal learned from Jack Monroe, the British food writer. That’s 2019, anyway. You may be looking to the months ahead, and toward the shock of the new. I’ll start with a recipe that isn’t a recipe so much as…
It’s lunchtime in Moscow and the line for Stolovaya 57 is out the door — a 20-person long struggle for borscht, jellied pork, soft boiled vegetables and grated cabbage. Though it might be hard to imagine that people would wait any amount of time for a tray of food served by a stern-faced Russian woman…
