My teenage daughter, Dahlia, likes to snack on flakes of sea salt, nibbling them out of hand like tiny potato chips. So, I wasn’t exactly surprised to see her standing over a freshly made batch of anchovy bread crumbs, eating them with a spoon.

You don’t need a ton of ingredients for a meal that sings. The recipes featured here are marvels of resourcefulness, offering enormous flavor in little time and with seven ingredients or fewer (minus those kitchen stalwarts salt, pepper and oil).

An ingredient or two more — a smattering of scallions, […]
We use a state-of-the-art global climate model to calculate the climatic and biogeochemical changes caused by a range of stratospheric soot injections, each associated with a nuclear war scenario18 (Tables 1 and 2). Simulated changes in surface air temperature, precipitation and downward direct and diffuse solar radiation are used to force a state-of-the-art crop model to estimate how the productivity of the major crops (maize, rice, spring wheat and soybean) would be affected globally, and changes in oceanic net primary […]

Certain groups of people were more likely to follow healthier eating habits than others. Policy changes need to happen to approve affordability and accessibility to nutritious foods. Globally, diets have not improved very much over the last 30 years a study in the journal Nature Food reports. The study evaluated global, regional and national dietary patterns in both children […]
Westend61/getty images For something we do every day, eating can feel complicated. Especially when you’re in the constant pursuit of a healthy diet. You might have heard that you should eat more fiber and less sodium, but who has time to add up all the grams and micrograms?
