“What are some other cooking cliches that they say on food TV all the time? I wish there was Smellovision. I do this joke in every shoot, and it always gets cut out.” [LAUGHS] [AUDIO LOGO] “I think what’s really exciting about the next couple of days is we’re going to learn a lot about…
Are you Team Turkey, or Team Sides? My Thanksgiving happy place is all about gathering as many of my favorite side dishes as I can and throwing a big, buttery veg-and-carb-fest. It’s permission to eat both honey-roasted sweet potatoes and brown-butter mashed potatoes at the same meal without even a tinge of guilt. Thanksgiving comes…
Last Hope Distillery is one of the only real cocktail bars in Puerto Natales, a horseshoe of a city that wraps around a windy inlet in Chilean Patagonia. To enter, visitors buzz, speakeasy-style, then hang up their coats and settle in at the bar. A server sets a glass down. “Hi,” the server says. “Have…
Good morning. At last, it’s oven weather where I stay. I set the thermostat low, put on a sweater under my apron and get to work: a Guinness pie, say, or a braised leg of lamb? Better yet, a perfect lasagna (above). Regina Schrambling wrote the recipe more than 20 years ago after studying scores…
Just off Australia’s largest container port lies a sickle-shaped neighborhood with a scent so distinctive that passing taxi drivers will sometimes roll down their windows for a whiff of the rich and unmistakably beery aroma. That smell, officially recognized by the City of Melbourne last year for its “intangible cultural heritage,” emanates from a nondescript,…
The pies are here! Four words, so much joy (and butter). This year’s batch of beauties from Claire Saffitz (above) is particularly lovely, both in the eating and the sharing: pumpkin pie with pepitas, lemon cream pie with honey and ginger, caramel apple pie, pecan slab pie and a cranberry cheesecake tart. She also has…
Good morning. Two weeks from today Thanksgiving will be a memory, so it’s definitely not too early to start your planning for the feast. Order your bird this weekend (birds, in my case). Sketch out a menu with the aid of our Thanksgiving recipe guide. Take an inventory of plates and platters, serving spoons, glasses,…
T Introduces: A Fashion Designer Carries on the Legacy of a Textile Artist The fashion designer Marco Zanini’s mother is Swedish, but growing up in his father’s native Italy, he never gave his Nordic roots much thought. It wasn’t until he turned 30 that he “became passionate about anything Scandinavian,” says the Milan-based 52-year-old, who…
In “Amelia Bedelia,” the first volume of the children’s book series created by Peggy Parish, the title character starts a new job as a housekeeper. Before she gets to her long list of tasks, she bakes a pie with ease, even joy, because she does “make a good pie.” She then follows the instructions for…
Last week I wrote about soup, which I suggested is not as popular as it once was, possibly because it is not cut out for the age of share plates. The exception is noodle soup, especially Asian noodle soups. They’re thriving. It’s hard to find a New York neighborhood that doesn’t have its own ramen…
