Peace, Love, & Hamminess: A Foodie Tour of Spain

BY FREYA BELLIN LEVOW I recently had the great pleasure of spending two weeks in Spain (with a brief foray into southern France and a long enough layover in London to have a solid English fry-up). They were two very wonderful weeks, filled with some of the best food I’ve had in recent (or not-so-recent)...

No Mo’ GMO: Food Politics in 2012

I was a pretty trusting person until movies like Food Inc. and books like Omnivore’s Dilemma taught me a thing or two about our country’s food system. I’ll spare you the details, as this is a food column and perhaps you came hungry, but let’s just say, it’s nasty. Real nasty. Things that I used...

A Boozy Thanksgiving

Tomorrow is a big day for food. I hope you’ve pulled out your favorite stretchy pants for the occasion! Thanksgiving is undoubtedly my favorite holiday, and not just for the autumnal delicacies. In fact, I think I love Thanksgiving in spite of the pumpkin laced gorge fest that seems to symbolize it. As much as...

Into the Hurricane: New York and Back

I have a knack for flying right into hurricanes. I moved to Florida as Georges was approaching many years ago and drove a rented car out of West Palm Beach airport past lines of people in front of super markets and Home Depot. I remember a strange meal at Kenny Rogers Roasters, by myself, and...

Storm-Induced Baking

I hear yoga works for some people. But for me, when real life gets to be too much, I turn to baking to literally sweeten my mood. There’s something about the mathematical straightforwardness of it that allows my mind to drift from hurricanes and power outages, as it were, to the wonderful world of teaspoons...

Presto! It’s Pesto

I present to you a perfect summer recipe, with just a single caveat: this is not a first date food. Pesto is on a short list of dishes I can’t in good conscience recommend for times when you might perhaps want to feel and/or look sexy. This list, for your consideration, includes: sushi (nothing sexier...

Run for the Border: A Review of Gustavo Arellano, Taco USA

Gustavo Arellano, Taco USA One of my favorite places to eat as a kid was a Mexican family restaurant off the Saw Mill River Parkway, 35 miles north of Manhattan. Since then, I’ve eaten Mexican food across the country: tacos in Brooklyn, Austin, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Denver, mission-style burritos in San Francisco, enchiladas at...

Red, White, and Tipsy

My ideal 4th of July consists of a long weekend filled with BBQs, picnics, and a cold beer or fruity sangria (or both (but not together, ew)). Unfortunately, I’m no master brewer, so I won’t be teaching you how to make beer today, but I figured I’d equip you with the knowledge to conquer the...

Cook It, Don’t Buy It!

For about a year I wrote for Mark Bittman, a culinary role model of mine. I would cook and photograph a selection of his recipes each week and write about what happened in the kitchen, to make it easier for other non-professional home cooks to follow along. If you don’t know Mark’s style, it’s very...

Cookie Season

March has come in like a lamb and out like a lion, it seems. I had to revive my gloves today! Gloves! The horror. Thankfully, regardless of the irreverent spring weather, March means one thing for sure: Girl Scout cookie season. Unfortunately, I don’t know any 8 year olds these days, and since I don’t...
