A bus, two subways, and a 15-minute walk took their toll on my lunch today. I'd packed homemade soup in a plastic deli container, but it made a bold bid for freedom halfway to the office. Luckily I'd wrapped the container in a plastic bag, so the soupy mess didn't get too far. I've tried all types of tubs, from today's simple plastic one to fancy varieties with high-tech hinges. And I'm still searching for a reliable lunch transporter. We've some colorful, inventive lunchbox choices here, but ... Quick Read |

Maybe you recognize Barton Seaver's name from his first cookbook, For Cod and Country. In his second cookbook, Where There's Smoke, Seaver applies his culinary, environmental, and health philosophies towards one of America's treasured pastimes: Grilling. As chef, scholar, activist, and culinary diplomat for the the American Chef Corp, one might assume that Seaver's approach to grilling would be rather lofty. It's not. Where There's Smoke is rather refreshing in that he places emphasis on ... Quick Read |

Late last year, I managed to get into North Korea for a week or so. It was, unsurprisingly, one of the more bizarre trips of my life. (The photo above, for example, was the view I woke up to every morning in my hotel room in Pyongang.) It also upended a lot of my assumptions I'd had as an American about the place and people there. And, yes, I actually did eat while I was there. I'll be posting my observations and photos of my eating and drinking experiences in the DPRK in a few days, but wanted ... Quick Read |

I always say I eat for a living, but once again I've been reminded I might be in the wrong line of work. Yesterday we met up with our informal Asian-eating/eating-Asian group for lunch in Queens and, as always, did so with no research in advance. So far they have never steered us wrong with Hunanese and Yunnanese and Sichuanese and Malaysian and Indonesian etc. They said Bukharian and we said what time? As always, I left the ordering to the experts. And as always, the real food person in this ... Quick Read |

On Monday it will be exactly one year since my husband and I walked down the aisle to say our "I do's." It took weeks before we came down from the excitement of the big day. It took even longer to get used to the idea that the whirlwind of planning was over and we could finally relax and enjoy married life. Now that we've had time to reflect fondly on our wedding?and everything that went into putting it together?there are some things we might have done differently. We had plenty of personal ...

I always figure if Nature wanted us to eat asparagus with anything but excessive richness, She wouldn't have designed the tips to catch every bit of hollandaise/butter/sesame mayonnaise etc. But there are some nights when gilding the lily* even makes this Mrs. Sprat hesitate, and I'm someone who could eat hollandaise on foie gras. If our dinnertime protein is turkey Milanese, or trout topped with bacon, capers and sage, extra fat just makes me conjure Mr. Creosote. So I'm trying other ways to ... Quick Read |

It's not even Memorial Day yet, but grilling fever (pronounced feeev-aahhhh, natch) has hit hard at our house. Perhaps it's a function of being a working parent, but any dinner prep method that involves practically no cleanup and gets me outside for a few precious minutes of sunlight after a day in the office is a-okay by me. Plus, we all get to blow bubbles together while we're cooking dinner. What I'd really love, of course, is some way to grill everything we consume. Cereal. Bagels. Salad. ... Quick Read |
