Climate Cookbooks Are Here to Change How You Eat

Cookbook authors have a few options. They could write a regionally specific cookbook or a mass-market one starring ingredients that grow sustainably in lots of places (as One did). Or they could write a cookbook that samples vast biodiversity at some cost to sourceability—that’s the approach the UN cookbook took.“There are many cookbooks that could … have 90 percent of the recipes be part of your staple at home,” Cruz said. “But that serves a different purpose.” The UN cookbook is instead “almost a launching point into everyone’s own culinary exploration and everyone’s own culinary journey.”That exploratory emphasis—embodied not just in the recipes but in accompanying carbon and nutrition calculations and in principles that offer starting points rather than answers—puts it at one end of t...

Best Camping Cookware Items (2023): Stoves, Coolers, Tables, Meal Planning, and Tips

Spend any time in the backcountry or the campground at your local state park, and you'll quickly realize the importance of a good meal outdoors. You need the calories for hiking, and good food helps soothe the pain of a long day and turn that rained-out trip into an “at-least-we-ate-well” adventure.Bringing the kitchen to the outdoors isn't always as simple as it sounds.

8 Best Meal Kit Delivery Services (2023): Blue Apron, Dinnerly, and More

HelloFresh ($12+ per serving) is a close second to Blue Apron; the recipes I tried had great flavor, but the instructions may be hard for inexperienced home chefs to follow. Also, the sirloin I tried wasn't something I'd feel comfortable serving. It may be asking a lot to expect a meal kit company to send a premium-quality steak, but on the other hand, steak shouldn't be offered if the cut isn't up to par. Other than that snafu, the two services are largely similar.Green Chef ($13+ per serving) is another terrific option for beginners (also owned by HelloFresh), and it offers plenty of plans centered around different dietary restrictions. Nearly every ingredient is organic as well. The recipe instructions have easy-to-follow pictures accompanying the trickier steps, and unlike some other ...

Savoring and Saving: Cooking on Vacation

Matt Tracy, 45, a shoe distributor based in Portland, Maine, loves to cook. On a recent multigenerational trip to Tuscany, he and other family members cooked seven out of 10 nights in a rental villa, preparing dishes like wild boar ragù for 10 people, including his children, 6 and 9. “We save a tremendous amount of money cooking,” he said. “We love going out to dinner, but with two kids and other guests it’s expensive.”Whether catering to allergies or other dietary needs, ensuring family harmony or sticking to a budget, cooking on vacation is increasingly popular among travelers choosing short-term rental accommodations.According to a 2023 travel trend report from the vacation rental platform Vrbo, demand for “foodie-menities” is on the rise.
