There are moments when I’m nostalgic for an old-school bowl of cream of mushroom soup. It’s comforting, earthy, loaded with nutrient-packed mushrooms, and simple to make. I like a classic-tasting version, but can’t bring myself to lean into the heavy cream in the way a lot of the older recipes do. This version brings all the factors you love about the classic (it tastes nearly identical) but leverages cashews to bring silky creaminess. Cooking the onions and mushrooms down aggressively develops depth and flavor, and herbs (dried and fresh!) and lemon bring lift and brightness. So good! Cream of Mushroom…

558 On a recent trip to Pune, India, I attended a yoga intensive held by the daughter of BKS Iyengar, Geeta Iyengar. While there, I had the honor of meeting Mark Zambon. His story is inspiring to say the least. Zambon served in the United States Marine Corps and was a part of a bomb recon squad. About three and a half years ago, he was on a mission in Afghanistan when he stepped on a pressure-detonated bomb and lost both legs. Zambon now continues his life with the help of prosthetics. A couple months after his injury, a trusted…

I started making gelato in the Sicilian style back the early 00’s after visiting Palermo and the west coast of Sicily. Looking back, we were basically kids with no car and would get from town to town by bus. It was clear from go that the Sicilian love affair with frozen desserts knows few rivals, and we would beat the dust and heat by ducking into gelaterias from Trapani to Marsala and beyond. Making Sicilian Gelato is decidedly different from making American-style ice cream. It starts with a milk base, often skipping the eggs and heavy cream altogether. Cornstarch (or…
