Vegetarian Meatballs and One-Pot Recipes

I make my veggie koftas, or meatballs, from a base of soft, half-mashed black beans seasoned with ginger, garlic and chiles, bake them in the oven until they’re nice and crunchy on the outside, then dunk them in spicy tomato sauce.

Your Easy, No-Sweat Guide to Picking Wines for Thanksgiving

Her red was a 2018 Château Maris La Livinière from the Languedoc region of Minervois, a juicy, inviting blend of syrah and grenache.

Annie Leibovitz, the Un-Fashion Photographer

Annie Leibovitz would like to make one thing clear upfront: She is not a fashion photographer. Given that her new book, “Wonderland” (Phaidon) is an anthology of fashion images shot mainly for Vogue, that’s curious.

After 14 Years, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss Finally Reunite

They stripped songs down to just lyrics and melodies, and rebuilt them intuitively in the studio, often around sparse, subtle beats from Bellerose.
