Chowder & Gumbo: Kissing Cousinsnew
Gumbo is the younger of the two, but both stem from the same family tree. These two recipes are, in essence, the story of the people who originally made them. And in the same way that someone may start a family tree at the present and work backwards, that's sometimes the logical way to do culinary research. With recipes for: Potato Chowder, New England Clam Chowder, and Shrimp, Sausage, and Okra Gumbo.

The Simple Joys of Comfort Foodnew
A few days ago I awoke to find that I had a cold. It was my own fault, I thought, for burning the candle at both ends and leaving myself susceptible. Intuitively I craved comfort food: soup, maybe some bread. With recipes.

Meet Richard Price: Electrotechnologist, Purveyor of Rare Flowers, Famous For His Heirloom Tomatoesnew
Price could be known for many things. Among other things, he's a talented singer; an accomplished portrait photographer; a home brewer of beers, ciders, and wines; an experienced electrotechnologist in genetics; a green thumb; a do-it-yourselfer and traditionalist. In fact, it's mostly by a strange turn of plant evolution that he's come to be known, informally, as "the tomato man."

From Haiti to Laos, People Are Starvingnew
Our food production and distribution networks are intertwined with mindboggling complexity. People across the world are all showing up hungry at the same global supermarket and bidding against each other for what's left on half-stocked shelves, or locked up in overstocked back rooms. But the playing field isn't level.

On the Tradition of Winemakingnew
Nowadays there are so few wines made from estate-grown fruit that it's a bit like finding a four-leaf clover -- but is my admiration for grapes grown, juiced, and fermented by the same individuals justified?

Amour, Amour, Amaronenew
In honor of Valentine's Day, I propose a toast with an imperfect, traditional and rustic red wine. A deep, broad-shouldered wine with which to contemplate life in the vice of winter, and sounding most like "amour," Amarone appears to me an excellent choice.
