Where to Find Postpartum Meal Delivery Services

We Are Chiyo’s tonic and broth bundle. | We Are Chiyo Some of these meals are based largely on the Chinese traditions of zuo yue zi, or sitting the month A version of this post originally appeared on August 26, 2023 , in Stephanie Wu’s newsletter, “From the Editor,” a roundup of the most vital news and stories in the food world. Read the archives and subscribe now . After giving birth, the thing I most looked forward to was going to the doctor. That’s because I spent a month in postpartum confinement, and the only time I left the house in those first 30 days was for a pediatrician or OB-GYN appointment. This practice is part of a Chinese tradition called zuo yue zi, which translates literally to “sitting the month.” The idea is that after giving birth, mothers’ bodies are very vulnerable, given all the changes they’ve gone through in the past 30-plus weeks, and the first postpartum month should be dedicated to healing the body and bonding with the baby. In ancient times, this...

An Eater’s Guide to the Canadian Rockies

Image
Spirit Island in Jasper National Park. | Mike Seehagel Set in 9,000 miles of pristine parkland, the restaurants of the Canadian Rockies reflect abundant natural resources like wild elk, Saskatoon berries, and fresh trout The Canadian Rockies take everything up a notch. Over the course of 1,000 miles, from the U.S.-Canada border in Montana to northern British Columbia, the jagged peaks look like layer cakes of snow, ice, and fossil-studded limestone and shale. As the mountains wind their way up along the border between Alberta and British Columbia, lakes sparkle in shades of aquamarine and turquoise, torrential rivers surge down from lofty icefields into deep valleys, and lush larch forests hug the roadsides. This protected land is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the birthplace of the Canadian national park system, and some of Mother Nature’s finest work. The region has long been an outdoorsy playground for thrill-seekers (from kayakers in the summer to dog-sledders in the winter), b...

The Best Packable Lunch Recipes, According to Eater Staff

Image
Shutterstock Here’s what we’re packing in the beach cooler or tossing into the work tote Given that most of us don’t have unlimited fast-casual grain bowl budgets, packed lunch is a simple fact of life, especially in this return-to-office era. There’s the cold-cuts sandwich crowd and the leftover dinner acolytes, but there are also those of us who’ve calibrated the perfect, not-too-difficult lunch dishes. These are recipes that excel after a day or two in the fridge and that don’t require competing for the office microwave. They make going out to lunch an every-so-often treat, and our wallets are thankful. And almost any of them will look great in this TAKENAKA x Eater bento box collaboration . Smashed Chickpea Salad Aliza Abarbanel, Bon Appétit Plenty of recipes promise to be weeknight-friendly or mind-numbingly easy — but often, they don’t follow through.

The Grey Team Goes to Paris

Image
Chia Chong/The Grey Chef Mashama Bailey and restaurateur Johno Morisano will open a restaurant in Paris in early 2024, marking a historic moment in American and French culinary exchange Earlier this summer, at the Parisian cafe L’Esperance, a taste of the American South started to trickle out of the small kitchen. It was known for generations as a casual spot in the 7th arrondissement where locals enjoyed morning coffee, brasserie fare for lunch, and wine in the early evening. But suddenly, without fanfare, dishes like red rice balls, chicken country captain, and smoked fish dip were served alongside croque monsieurs, steak tartare, and salades vertes. The introductions are reflective of the cafe’s change in ownership: American restaurateurs Mashama Bailey and Johno Morisano of the Grey are set to launch their take on Parisian dining in the L’Esperance space, slated for early 2024. Their expansion comes after the Austin, Texas, openings of their eatery the Diner Bar and restaurant...

How to Stock a Lunch-Ready Pantry

Image
In this excerpt from Eater’s debut cookbook, chefs recommend the best condiments, grains, pickles, and other staples to step up your home lunch game This is an excerpt from Eater’s debut cookbook . After talking with chefs who make some of the best lunches in the business, one thing is clear: Making a great lunch at home is 95 percent about what you’re keeping in your pantry and fridge. The other five percent is thinking just a bit more strategically about what you’re doing with that inventory. Here’s what you need for excellent lunches at home without a recipe . FLAVOR BOOSTERS That’s what Yangban chef-owner Katianna Hong calls ingredients like Kewpie mayo and Yondu, a plant-based seasoning liquid she uses instead of soy sauce to “add depth, round everything out, and make things taste professional.” A bit of tinned fish can be combined with Kewpie mayo and served with rice, a dash of Yondu, and nori sheets for a DIY hand roll. Hong puts roasted, salted almonds in the flavor-b...

How NYC’s Michelin-Starred Francie Makes a Porchetta For One

Image
Chef Christopher Cipollone says the restaurant’s porchetini one of the more technical dishes at the restaurant Francie opened in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighborhood at the end of 2020 and quickly went viral because of its 30-day dry-aged duck. That dish helped earn the restaurant a Michelin star just a few months after opening. While the duck is the restaurant’s calling card, chef and owner Christopher Cipollone says one of the most technical dishes he makes is his version of a porchetta, a porchetini. “The porchetini we do here is like a baby porchetta for one,” he says. Cipollone starts by putting a pork tenderloin on top of a sheet of flattened, ground sausage. All of this is on top of plastic wrap, which will be used to guide the sausage around the tenderloin and maintain the shape of what will become the porchetini. Next, the porchetini in the plastic wrap gets Cryovaced and poached. Then it’s taken out of the plastic wrap to be seared. “What that does is it fully cooks the...

What Happens When the Brand Gimmick Is Too Good?

Image
Cartons of branded ice cream flavors at the Ice Cream Project. | Anya Hindmarch As the summer season draws to a close on performative, branded ice cream, London’s Ice Cream Project takes the genre to its logical conclusion: self destruction It’s easy to read about a fashion designer opening an ice cream pop-up in a superrich neighborhood, full of flavors dedicated to brand-name condiments and pantry ingredients like Heinz Ketchup and Maldon salt, and scream — not for ice cream, but for death. But around 11 a.m. on a July Monday in Mayfair, London, summer just threatening to peek through humid gloom, Anya Hindmarch’s Ice Cream Project was busy enough to need six members of staff in a space that really only has room for three, and nearly half of its flavors were sold out. The pop-up, which returned for its second year and closes this weekend, is part of a coterie of shops dubbed the Anya Hindmarch Village, which also includes a cafe and three clothing stores. The small space is sh...
