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. Salty and crunchy, with a touch of chile-driven heat and a funky hit of umami, they were meant for the pasta I was making later that night. But I had to agree that they were pretty […]

Blueberries and other foods rich in antioxidants can help reduce inflammation Cystic fibrosis is a disorder that is inherited and affects various organs of the body.

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). We draw the line at seven rather than five or even three (like those buzzy headlines promise) because we believe that the best meals reach just a tiny bit further.

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? You can use the familiar plate-shaped guide from the U.S. Department of Agriculture, but it’s not very specific. And if you’re a fan of food tracking apps (which really can be great), […]

Way back in the innocent mists of early 2020, we reported that boards were no longer just for cheese and artisanal meats — people were heaping boards with pancakes, salads, french fries and anything else they could find for artistic (and Instagrammable) tableaus. But, folks, it seems we’ve reached a new summit in our collective food-on-boards journey: All hail the butter board.

New to nutritional yeast? You could be forgiven for giving it the cold shoulder. For starters, it’s flaky and – let’s admit it – it looks dull. That yellowy-brown colour doesn’t help either. But there’s more to this time-honoured vegan staple than meets the eye. The author and recipe developer Harriet Birrell needs no convincing of nutritional yeast’s charms. She’s been a fan since discovering it at her local health food store in 2012. Nutritional yeast (affectionately known as nooch) […]
