It’s time for our annual reminder that gazpacho is the queen of summer cooking, a coolly satisfying remedy for intense, sluggish heat. Our recipe is called best gazpacho, and it delivers on that promise. It’s simple, salty, thick and smooth, with no bobbing cubes of cucumber in sight. (I never liked those.) We have dozens…
Joanna Bailey, a family physician and obesity specialist, doesn’t want to tell her patients that they can’t take Wegovy, but she has gotten used to it. Around a quarter of the people she sees in her small clinic in Wyoming County would benefit from the weight-loss medications known as GLP-1s, which also include Ozempic, Zepbound…
Q: A cocktail or glass of wine helps me fall asleep on long flights. But are there downsides to drinking on a plane? After the bustle of boarding and the effort of squeezing your body and baggage into compact spaces, a drink or two may feel like just the ticket. But the results of a…
Last week we published a project we’ve been working on for quite a while: a list of 57 sandwiches that define New York City. (Someone named Dave in the comments generously suggested we rename the list, “Making Everyone Who Ever Left NYC Regret Their Choices.”) You can imagine that narrowing down all of the city’s…
Marisol Doyle wasn’t bothered by the frozen dough and canned mushrooms common in the pizzas she ate as a kid growing up in Sonora, Mexico. It was comfort food. “But as an adult,” she said, “I wanted something better.” Ms. Doyle’s first experience with better pizza came in 2006 at Pizzeria Bianco, in Phoenix, and…
Around the globe, much of the wine world is feeling besieged and stigmatized. Sales are down, way down for some. New studies suggest that any consumption of alcohol is unhealthful. New diseases are preying on grapevines, older maladies seem more prevalent and climate change — which has caused subtle and violent changes to weather patterns…
Pizza in America has never been better. The wood-fire Neapolitan pizzerias that took off in the early 2000s, and have been spreading ever since, taught Americans to ask more of a dish they already loved. The ensuing craft pizza renaissance is a rare culinary convergence: born of metropolitan chef culture but not confined to big…
Something was in the air — though Tomi Adeyemi couldn’t quite say what. It wasn’t the sweltering heat of a New York City summer, nor the perfume of the sweat that had gathered atop our skin. “What’s your sign?” Adeyemi immediately asked me, before we even began to talk about her new book. Aquarius, I…
Midlife, typically defined as ages 40 to 60, is an inflection point. It’s a time when our past behaviors begin to catch up with us and we start to notice our bodies and minds aging — sometimes in frustrating or disconcerting ways. But it’s also an opportunity: What our older years will look and feel…
The first time I heard a stranger say “corner” outside a kitchen, I was taken by surprise, but pretty soon, I lost count. After the FX show “The Bear” began streaming on Hulu in 2022, shouting out phrases that bounce around professional kitchens became something of a national bit. In Bon Appétit, Sarah York coined…
