i've tried a lot of boxed and premade foods, because when skinny is out i am not fussy about what i eat, if i make anything at all. these are really the only ones i've found that don't taste like something from a box. they are very yummy and we always have them in the cupboard. even skinny eats them. i recommend the agra peas & greens and the punjab eggplant. make a side of rice and dump it on top and dinner is ready. i finally got a rice cooker after wanting one for years, so this even becomes easier.

Who knew the dregs of sake could be so tasty? Chef Wylie Dufresne discusses the unusual Asian ingredient sake lees (also called sake kasu), the thick rice paste that’s left at the end of the sake-making process. Often used in Asia as a marinade for fish or meat, sake lees are given an unusual twist in Dufresne’s kitchen. Their deep umami flavor is reminiscent of miso, but sake lees have a sweetness and a lingering note of sake that makes their taste distinctive. They are available at many Asian specialty-food stores.

Went to 15 East for lunch recently.

My main had butter it seemed, otherwise it was a well-cooked cod, fresh with tons of flavor. App was 10 seaweeds, tasty till one diner said ''dude I dont eat them anymore once I found out how processed they are as a food group'' I said ''why not tell before I ordered''. co-diners loved the sushi, not the soup.

The three of us would gladly go back but we all have more "traditional" spots we like more....

Michael Pollan takes aim at “nutritionism” in his new book
-
By SARAH KERR

-

We prepare our meals from plants and animals—a fact we can choose either to note with some humility or to hide from our awareness by forgetting. This has been a recurring theme in Michael Pollan’s books of late. Like all good writers, Pollan aims to describe what he sees as precisely as he can. But this does not lead him to a showily fine prose style. That would be an aesthetic approach, and though Pollan often worries that we’ve lost the sense of pleasure, he is very much the ethicist—and, if we’re honest, he is once in a while even a scold. This is happily offset by a sly modesty (“By now,” he self-accuses in 1997’s A Place of My Own: The Education of an Amateur Builder, “you have probably noticed a tendency of mine to lean rather heavily on words and theories in my dealings with the world”), a deftness at animating philosophical problems, and a knack—unusual in books that seek to change minds and habits—for sustaining an atmosphere of suspense.
