A line of dinnerware designed by the artist Sol LeWitt and made to his specifications in Deruta, Italy, is a stunning addition to the Whitney Museum store. Serving pieces include this flat, 12-inch sharply patterned plate, for hors d’oeuvres, cheese and desserts like tarts and cakes. It’s worthy of display when not in use. There…
Lucila Melania Dutan, whose middle name graces the awning, runs the restaurant with the help of her children, Jennifer, Alex and Nestor Jazmani Dutan, along with their half sister, GiGi Gonzalez. The elder Ms. Dutan grew up in the small town of Biblián in the southern province of Cañar, at an altitude close to 9,000…
WASHINGTON — Amy Brandwein is a chef who has visions, and one of the tastiest involves eggplant. Contemplating the penne alla Norma that was already on her menu at Centrolina, she imagined her favorite part of the dish — the ragù of golden chunks of fried eggplant coated in marinara sauce — piled high in…
RUNGIS, France — Around midnight, as most Parisians head to sleep after a long day at work, a parallel universe rouses to life inside a giant food market — slightly larger than the size of Monaco — five miles south of the French capital. In a refrigerated hall the length of a soccer field, Pascal…
Hi, it’s Emily, here with your five weeknight dishes, food for busy people who still want something good to eat. My daughter is turning 1 this week, so I’m deep in yellow-cake recipes and buttercream, contemplating sprinkles and candles and round cake vs. sheet. (Round is so classic, no?) This week also marks the debut…
All I know is I went to the fishmonger, who had some beautiful small squid, and suddenly an urge came over me: I had to take them home and give them a Mexican twist. It was a little funny to head in a south-of-the-border culinary direction, because, for some reason, I didn’t usually associate squid…
For years, I convinced myself that I didn’t care for lamb. I found that I could only ever describe it as “lamby,” which is not exactly a compliment. But now, the way I am constantly trying to persuade people to cook more lamb, you would think I was secretly working for the American Lamb Board.…
Despite being almost 10,000 miles apart, Mexico and India have surprising similarities when it comes to food. The chefs Norma Listman and Saqib Keval discovered exactly that one night in Mexico City, when they created a menu for a friend’s dinner party. The result is what may be the capital’s most inventive new restaurant, Masala…
TAKOMA PARK, Md. — When you walk into a Taco Bell with Pati Jinich, the brainy and buoyant Mexican cooking authority, shame walks in with you. It feels like buying a pack of cigarettes in front of a friend who thought you had quit, or getting caught watching cat videos. Ms. Jinich, who was born…
But generous applications of produce don’t always save the food from seeming a bit safe, conservative and slightly dated. Mr. Pfeifer, who spent eight years in the kitchen at Maialino, Mr. Meyer’s Roman-inspired restaurant, is now cooking French food in the post-nouvelle mode that Daniel Boulud has been artfully fomenting for years. Mr. Boulud has…
