| Our Best Meal-Prep Ideas for Better Weeknight Lunches & Dinners Posted: 16 Nov 2021 02:59 PM PST I don't love to admit it, but before I joined the Food52 team, I was not a world-champion meal planner. I spent five years in an office where "lunch hour" meant: "pop out for quick takeaway." And "weeknight dinner" meant: "the fantasy of an alternate universe where people leave work before 8:30 p.m." Accordingly, I struggled to get my act together when I first crossed the threshold of Food52 HQ. But, it turned out, all I had to do was look around. My new colleagues were like the Olympic Varsity All-Star Meal Planning team. (Is it too clear from that description that I've never watched sports?) They even wrote a book on it. |
| Drinking Is a Huge Part of Thanksgiving—Here's Why I'm Avoiding It Posted: 16 Nov 2021 02:00 PM PST I stopped drinking in late 2018, the part of the year that leans toward Thanksgiving and the downhill cascade of holidays that follow it. I wasn't dealing with an addiction, exactly, and therefore my experience of quitting alcohol was much easier than it is for many people: I didn't like how alcohol made me feel anymore, and I was no longer getting any enjoyment from it to counterbalance its negative effects in my life. In short, I didn't like drinking, so I stopped doing it. For this reason, I try to say that I stopped or quit drinking rather than that I got sober, to make a clear differentiation between the relatively straightforward process of letting go of a bad habit, and the far thornier and often lifelong struggle of a recovering alcoholic. The truth is that I rarely miss drinking, and when I do, it's occasion-based and never actually about the booze itself. There are certain events—almost always a celebration of some kind, whether an official holiday or just the festive exhale on a Friday afternoon at the end of a long week—that make me wish for the gesture of a drink, without the actual drink itself. Thanksgiving has been one of the times when I have had to work the hardest to re-create that gesture, underlining the holiday aspect of a holiday through other means. |

| Yes, You Can Order Taylor Swift's Favorite Latte at Starbucks Posted: 16 Nov 2021 11:18 AM PST In my wildest dreams, I never thought a Taylor Swift x Starbucks collaboration would have come together. When I was 22, all I ever wanted to do was walk down Cornelia Street, sipping a nonfat caramel latte. Okay, Kelly, enough with theSwift references and get to the point: There's officially a Taylor Swift-inspired drink on the menu at Starbucks locations all across the country. Customers can order "Taylor's Latte" or "Taylor's Version," which is a grande caramel nonfat latte, in stores and via the Starbucks app and sip it like they're a 5'11" cat-loving pop star. It has long been known to be Swift's favorite Starbucks drink. From Our Shop The collaboration comes in tandem with the re-release of Taylor Swift's 'Red' album, which she re-recorded after an infamous legal battle over the ownership of her master recordings. The coffee chain hinted that a partnership was coming after they tweeted "It's Red Season" on November 8th, 2021; the tweet references Taylor's album 'Red,' which was originally released in 2012 and has been considered by many to be her greatest and most iconic album to date with songs like "22," "All Too Well," and "I Knew You Were Trouble." |
| 14 Guest Bathroom Essentials That Make It Feel Like Home Posted: 16 Nov 2021 11:00 AM PST I don't know about you, but my hosting skills are a little rusty after a long hiatus from having houseguests.

| In 'Taste Makers,' Meet the Immigrant Women Who Changed American Food Posted: 16 Nov 2021 10:00 AM PST When I first met Mayukh Sen on a windy day in New York City a couple years ago, our conversation flowed like we'd known each other for years. I didn't understand why at the time. But having blitzed through his new book, Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America, at record speed (it's as riveting as any novel, as page-turning as a thriller, and as moving as an inspirational book), I finally realize why. Sen has a knack for understanding the stories of those across from him in a way often overlooked by others. In his new book, this James Beard Award–winning writer delves into the stories of seven immigrant women who shaped and changed the way people in America interact with foreign cuisines, but to whom history, and memory, have not always been as kind. Rather than tell their stories from his view, however, Sen has allowed each woman's voice to tell her own story. In so doing, he brings readers not only a better understanding of the struggles many face in this industry, but also lifts up a mirror, forcing us to question what role we play in perpetuating these issues. As heartbreaking as it is inspiring, this is a book for anyone who cares about food and the people who create it. |
| A Porchetta-Spiced Roast Chicken for Smaller Thanksgivings Posted: 16 Nov 2021 09:05 AM PST We've teamed up with our friends at All-Clad to bring you Pans With a Plan—a series sharing smart techniques, tasty recipe ideas, and all sorts of handy tips for cooking novices and seasoned pros alike. Here, food writer and recipe developer Asha Loupy shares a family-favorite Thanksgiving recipe: crispy roast chicken with porchetta-inspired spices that all comes together in the All-Clad 50th Anniversary D3® Stainless Casserole Dish. For the last decade, my Thanksgiving guest list has been one name: my mom. No matter how much we love leftovers (and, we do!), even a small turkey is way too big for our tiny family feast. Maybe like me, your table might look a little smaller this year. Even if you're cooking for a few people, I'm here to tell you, your Thanksgiving can be just as special—and equally delicious, too—without the turkey. |
| How to Roast Potatoes Like My 91-Year-Old Grandma Posted: 16 Nov 2021 08:00 AM PST A Big Little Recipe has the smallest-possible ingredient list and big everything else: flavor, creativity, wow factor. That means five ingredients or fewer—not including water, salt, black pepper, and certain fats (like oil and butter), since we're guessing you have those covered. Inspired by the column, the Big Little Recipes cookbook is available now. Like, right now. My grandma, Jolly, has been making these potatoes for 72 years. She knows this because that was when she got married, the first time, when she was 19, and when you get married, the first time, when you're 19, you have to learn all sorts of things, like how to make potatoes. |
