KidSuper, stood at the cyclonic center of a studio strewed with clothes, bags, shoes and props and crammed with models, stylists, photographers, videographers, the designer’s parents and the rapper Lil…
It recently dawned on me that a significant portion of my favorite, most-repeated New York Times Cooking recipes rely on eggplant. There’s Kay Chun’s eggplant dal and eggplant adobo, Alexa Weibel’s eggplant caponata pasta and this trio of stunners from Eric Kim: gochujang-glazed eggplant, bulgogi eggplant, eggplant Parm.
