I wash my face in the morning with Dermalogica Special Cleansing Gel, then moisturize with the Blue Cocoon from May Lindstrom — it’s been my go-to skin-care product for about four years. I finish with the Rodan + Fields Essentials Sunscreen. Day to day, I typically don’t wear makeup. If anything, I’ll use Armani Beauty…
Slow cookers aren’t exactly novel — we’re pretty sure your parents or even grandparents have one tucked away in the cabinet somewhere — but every time we use one, we’re delighted anew by how it turns the humblest ingredients into a hearty, rib-sticking dinner at the push of a button. Case in point: Sarah DiGregorio’s…
In 2015, Norma Pérez adopted a vegan diet to combat her arthritis. But she worried that she’d miss out on the Salvadoran dishes she grew up with, particularly holiday dishes like her tamales and pan con pollo.

Every latke lover has an ideal. For some that perfect latke is chubby and soft-centered, with fine shreds of potatoes that melt in your mouth. For others it’s thin and golden, and shatters with an audible crunch. You can make both with my latke recipe, it just depends on how you shape and fry them.…
Meridian, Miss., begins the official last leg of my drive. Before I reach its “city” limits, I’ll stop at one of the gas stations right off I-20. Here is where I buy flat jerky to tear up and scatter for the stray cats guarding the front door. Here is where I fill up my tank,…
Trying to recover from a catastrophe that nearly ended her career, April Bloomfield is cooking the best food she’s ever made at her new restaurant in Brooklyn, Sailor. She has always been able to express herself in the kitchen more easily than in interviews. When asked by a New York Times reporter in 2018 how…
Headliner Four Twenty Five Jean-Georges Vongerichten considers his latest restaurant, a richly appointed installation on two floors in a Park Avenue office tower, as a homecoming of sorts. In 1986, across the avenue at Lafayette in the Drake Hotel, was where New York first noticed him; Bryan Miller awarded Lafayette four stars in The New…
