One Ingredient, Many Ways: Oats
by Leah Koenig

Consider the oat. There is oatmeal, of course—the warm, nubby porridge that has powered generations of early-risers. There are oatmeal cookies, which offer textural variation from the standard chocolate chip; there is hearty, oat-encrusted bread; there is toasty granola and its raw cousin, muesli. And yet for a cereal grain that stands at the center of so many iconic foods, oats somehow play second fiddle to other, trendier grains like quinoa or farro—confined to the breakfast table or overlooked entirely.

Le Cesarine: A Taste of Home Cooking in Emilia-Romagna

Italy may be the destination for countless romantic fantasies, but I arrived in Emilia-Romagna alone, nursing a bruised heart from a recent uncoupling. The portico-covered cobblestone streets and towering Medieval frescoes tried their hardest to woo me, but I am the type who seeks solace in food, not scenery.

Few regions in Italy are better are better suited to eating your feelings in than Emilia-Romagna. Nicknamed la grassa ("the fat") for its production of gut-busting regional specialties like mortadella, tortellini and ragu, Emilia-Romagna will happily cradle its visitors in calories. But although I'm generally not self-conscious about dining alone, the freshness of my heartbreak, combined with a shoddy grasp of Italian, left me sensitive about lingering solo for too long. Waiters gave me strange looks when I said no one would be joining me in sidewalk cafes. One busboy shook his head and took away my bread bowl. My confidence shot, I began looking for a meal that would nurture on all levels, laced with comfort as well as Parmesan. Keep reading »

Coconut Bowls

Coconut Bowls


I have a new favorite morning yogurt dish: Bambu's coco mini bowl. Made out of reclaimed coconut shells are hand coiled with small strips of bamboo and finished with a layer of food safe, waterproof lacquer that comes from the cashew tree (who knew?). My four mini bowls are in daily use in my kitchen, where they keep prepped vegetables in place or act as perfectly-sized snacking bowls. Their light weight and small size (approx. 4 x 2 inches) also makes them ideal to pack for picnics. And the best part: the set's four different colors means I can choose a bowl based on my daily mood. Right now, I'm feeling the cobalt blue.
