In a world rife with pain, violence, and strife, focusing on shared food traditions can remind us of our collective humanity and refocus us on what we have in common. Yogurt is among the most ancient, truly global foods there is.
Modern Israelis and Palestinians eat yogurt. Armenians and Turks eat yogurt. Indians, Pakistanis, Iranians, Iraqis, Greeks, Albanians, Russians, Bulgarians, Americans, Serbs, Canadians, New Zealanders, and Filipinos eat yogurt. And that’s just the smallest slice.

“Seared scallops are served warm with a spicy, fresh pineapple, mango, cucumber, and bell pepper salsa. Simple, colorful, and delicious.”
Let’s be honest, there are a lot of terrible food photos on Instagram. We’ve all taken a few that were less than stellar, but there’s a restaurant in Israel that wants to change that.
Now that we know a few of the secrets to making the best scrambled eggs, it’s time to take these eggs out on the town. You know, show ’em off a little and see what they’re really capable of. These 10 insane recipes are a great place to start.
Even though my kitchen is large by New York City standards, we’ve faced the challenge of not having very much storage space. When I first moved in, we had two small cabinets for the dishes, plus the area under the sink and the open shelving under our counter. We’ve added a lot of cabinets and shelves, but we’ve also focused a lot on vertical space.
When you’re dealing with a small kitchen (or any small room, really) thinking tall can really expand your space. That’s why we’re excited about these new wall pockets from Normann Copenhagen.

“It took me three years and many tries to perfect this salsa recipe. Everyone says it’s a hit.”
Psst. I know what everyone is really hoping you’ll cook this weekend, and I’m sorry, it is not that kale salad. Okay, maybe not if these people are gluten-free, or opposed to butter, burnt sugar and stretchy yeasted breakfast treats. You probably shouldn’t make this for anyone on a juice cleanse or auditioning a paleo lifestyle. And now that I’ve ruled most of the people on this earth out, maybe I should stop talking about “everyone” when what I really mean is me.
I have never been to Belgium, but the further I get along in this whole incubation process, the more I predictably long for the kinds of trips that will seem impossible to pull off for some time. I’d like to have an ale, probably two, in some ancient cobblestoned courtyard, eating pommes frites (RIP, sigh) from paper cones and then stumble around Bruges, gazing at canals and medieval architecture, eating my way through one stand after another until only the first paragraph’s kale salad will save me.
