SURE CURE Unlike brined olives like Kalamatas, oil-cured olives have a meatier bite because they're coated in salt then macerated in oil. Look for them on olive bars or with other Italian products. Puttanesca Pork Chops ACTIVE: 30 min TOTAL: 30 min Here’s proof that this bold Neapolitan sauce can liven up more than just spaghetti.

DOUBLE WHAMMY A preliminary study found that healthy bacteria in your gut feed off broccoli’s fiber and help activate its cancer-fighting compound, sulforaphane. Reap the most benefits by eating about 4 servings each week. Clam Chowder With Broccoli Stems & Corn ACTIVE: 30 min TOTAL: 50 min Keeping frozen corn, canned clams and clam juice on hand means spur-of-the-moment chowder in any season. If you typically compost your broccoli stems, save them for this soup—they hold up better than florets. Set out bowls of toppings like diced red bell pepper, snipped chives or more bacon. 1½ cups frozen corn, thawed2 strips bacon, chopped2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil2 cups chopped broccoli stems, peeled if woody1 cup chopped onion3 cups chopped potatoes (½-inch pieces)3 cloves garlic, minced¼ cup all-purpose flour2 cups bottled…

University of California Davis, CA The Agricultural Sustainability Institute at UC Davis is a breeding ground for agriculture research and action—and introducing students to new veggies. On the Institute’s 20-plus acre farm, 500 students practice ecological horticulture, learn vineyard management and grow organic crops. And the produce they grow doesn’t just show up at the dining halls that serve the 30,000 undergrads. It’s also sold to a 100-member weekly CSA program, available to students and employees. Members get things like rutabagas, serrano peppers, kohlrabi and sweet potato leaves. Who needs a meal plan with options like that? Sterling College Craftsbury Common, VT At this 150-student school, taking care of the planet is priority number one—whether it’s learning about cutting-edge farm practices, the ethics of global warming, or connecting the natural…

It happened when I was a teenager: one day, quite suddenly, I could no longer stand the idea of eating meat. At the time we had a severely obese yellow Labrador retriever named Penelope who we sang to and took on boat rides and who my little brother believed was his wife. I couldn’t bear the hypocrisy that dogs were family members who sometimes wore sweaters, but chickens were assholes who deserved to be deep-fried. By and large, I’ve kept those thoughts to myself during my 20 years as a vegetarian. It’s not my style to preach to meat-lovers. (Plus, awkward!) But, oh man, do they have a lot to say to me: “I read an article that said you can die from being a vegetarian.” “See, but I’m an…

The “Hygiene Hypothesis” This prominent theory posits that an infant’s immune system needs to be exposed to an assortment of germs to train itself not to overreact to harmless things like food. That doesn’t happen as often in today’s sanitized world, where antibiotics wipe out infections in babies, hand sanitizers kill bugs on grimy hands and urban areas are devoid of microbe-laden soil, animals and farms. As a result, our immune systems have become uneducated and make mistakes distinguishing the good guys from the bad. Studies in humans are few, but associations have been drawn between infants living with pets and a reduced likelihood of allergy and asthma; the same is true of kids raised on farms. Early Skin Contact Many scientists believe infants can be “sensitized” to foods through…

THE SITUATION Corwin Heatwole, a Virginia native who grew up raising poultry, got tired of watching his chickens live in cramped conditions: “Sometimes they’d be so thick in the building you’d have to shuffle your feet to get them out of the way.” But he was stuck in the predominant way of producing chickens in the United States, a system run by big poultry companies. These corporations buy millions of birds every year, so they are able to set perpound prices and strict production guidelines. It can be expensive for farmers to keep up with demands, such as equipment upgrades, leaving them earning far less than expect. And the birds often end up living in blacked-out barns with little to no access to the outdoors. WHAT HE DID Heatwole decided…

CURRANT EVENTS Dried currants have little to do with fresh ones. Made from a miniature black grape variety called Zante, their label as “currants” likely is due to an incorrect translation of their city of origin, Corinth, in Greece. ALL RISE When baking soda is mixed with an acid (in this case buttermilk) and exposed to heat, a chemical reaction is unleashed that releases carbon dioxide. The CO2 produces pockets of air that make this bread rise. CRUST LOVE Cast-iron amasses more thermal energy per pound than other cooking mediums, so it gets hotter faster. This means a crunchier crust on bread. Irish Soda Bread With Dried Fruit & Caraway ACTIVE: 15 min TOTAL: 1½ hrs (including 30 min cooling time) EQUIPMENT: 9-inch cast-iron skillet This bread experienced a rise…

Stir-Fried Chicken & Broccoli With Mango Chutney ACTIVE: 30 min TOTAL: 30 min Resist the urge to make this stir-fry in a skillet instead of a wok, which will hold all your ingredients better. Buy a carbon-steel wok at an Asian market (or online) for around $30.

Feeding pets different diets isn’t always the easiest juggling act, but it’s important to keep them from straying from their own food dish, especially when you’re dealing with a medical condition or weight problem. Here are some ways to make mealtimes a little easier. Create Physical Solutions The simplest way is to physically separate them into different rooms during mealtimes. And get creative. If one pet is a nibbler and the other a chowhound, create barriers that one can access but the other can’t, such as putting cat food up on a table that the dog can’t get to or using a pet door that only opens for a specific pet to access a separate room with the food. When one pet is eating a weight-loss diet and the other…

This diet du jour has all kinds of buzz—it melts away pounds, cures brain fog and makes you a better athlete. But are these benefits legit? This low-carb plan is similar to Atkins—no grains, fruits or starchy vegetables—but more fat-focused. On a 2,000-calorie diet, it recommends 150 grams of fat (about 70 percent of your daily calories), plus 125 grams of protein and just 50 grams of carbohydrates. Following this formula forces the body to burn fat instead of carbs for fuel a process called ketosis. Research suggests that, yes, this diet can lead to weight loss. But researchers believe that since the diet essentially eliminates an entire food group, it encourages people to naturally eat less. So while it may promote body-fat burning, there’s nothing really magic about keto…

The Top 8 Allergens While some kids have allergies to random foods like kiwi, the foods on this list are far and away the biggest offenders. Among kids with food allergies, here’s the percentage affected by each of these every day foods. (A third of the kids are allergic to more than one.) 1. Peanuts 25% 2. Milk 21% 3. Shellfish 17% 4. Tree nuts 13% 5. Eggs 10% 6. Fish 6% 7. Wheat 5% 8. Soy 5% Tara Mataraza Desmond remembers the sound distinctly: a small whimper from the crib of her 4-month-old, Miles, loud enough to wake her and her husband in the dark of night. Over the past months, Miles’s skin had become increasingly rough, blotched with rashy eczema bumps and in the mornings, his crib sheet…

We were in a scrum of diners, pointing at small plates stacked at the counter while servers wrote down orders. Jet-lagged, I gestured at a dish of sliced samosas and cabbage and let my companions choose the rest. A platter of vegetables—a standard restaurant freebie— arrived ahead of shrimp curry, rice, stir-fried water spinach and bowls topped with shallots, garlic and dried shrimp. Soon the table was covered, with no two dishes alike. Many of these plates were what people in Myanmar call thoke, salad. But it means “salad” only in the loosest sense. A better translation is that these are dishes mixed by hand and served at room temperature— like many American salads. But that’s where the similarities end. Burmese salads range from simple combinations of pickled ginger and…

CHICKEN PARM Leo’s Latticini 46-02 104th St. (718) 898-6069 While the past half century has seen Italians leave Corona and Latin Americans arrive, this archetypal deli has persevered. Salumi still hangs from the ceiling, the mozzarella is still made fresh daily and the chicken Parm is still a saucy, crusty, fantastic mess. CHICKEN MOMO Punda 3935 47th Ave. (718) 806-1845 At this Tibetan hangout in Sunny side, the dumplings called momo feature delicately spiced chicken inside purses of dough with fiery chile sauce on the side for dunking.

ALL ABOUT THE BASS Flaky white barramundi (aka Asian sea bass) has a respectable amount of omega-3s (667 mg per 4-oz. serving vs. 147 mg for mahi and 1,127 mg for wild salmon).

EASTER MADE EASY These sides are perfect for spring entertaining. The artichokes can be made ahead and served at room temperature, and the salad comes together right before you sit down.

CARCIOFISONO BUONI Compounds in artichokes, such as chlorogenic acid and inulin, may improve blood sugar control, according to Italian researchers. Lemony Linguine With Spring Vegetables ACTIVE: 30 min TOTAL: 30 min Instead of cooking pasta in a huge pot of water, here we use just 3½ cups. When the pasta is al dente, most of the water has evaporated and the bit that’s left is thickened with the starch that cooks off the pasta. With just a few add-ins like lemon and Parmesan cheese you have a delicious silky sauce. 8 ounces whole-wheat linguine or fettuccine4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced½ teaspoon salt¼ teaspoon ground pepper3½ cups water1 9-ounce package frozen artichoke hearts6 cups chopped mature spinach2 cups peas, fresh or frozen½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided¼ cup half-and-half1 tablespoon lemon…

On the last Saturday in April, a fresh, pungent garlicky smell inundates the little mountain town of Helvetia, West Virginia. The source of the aroma: the village community hall, where volunteers wash, sort and fry 1,200 pounds of foraged ramps (little wild leeks) for the annual Helvetia Ramp Supper, an event with a 75-year history. For $15, you get a hearty meal of ramps, fried potatoes, soup beans, cornbread, ham or bacon, sassafras tea and various homemade desserts. Similar festivals happen all across Appalachia with locals and visitors alike celebrating spring’s long-awaited arrival when these first wild edibles appear in mountain climes. And the popular events double as a sort of homecoming, reaffirming strong community bonds; many also benefit local charities, like the Farm Women’s Club and the Community Hall…

On a recent trip to the Napa Valley, Sara Gasbarra tasted an unusual type of cherry tomato called Blue Gold Berries and fell hard for its rich, complex sweetness. She included it among the 72 tomato plants she grew from seed in her one-bedroom Chicago apartment. But the purple-hued fruits are temporary guests. They’re destined for the chefs she supplies as founder and “lead garden girl” behind Verdura, her culinary garden-design consulting company that plans, plants and tends urban gardens for restaurants. Clients include Cindy’s (shown here), the Palmer House Hilton and NoMI Kitchen at Park Hyatt in Chicago and Nicky’s Coal Fired and Bastion in Nashville. Gasbarra gets giddy over hard-to-find ingredients like Blue Gold Berries. (“Everybody can get their hands on Sun Golds,” she shrugs.) Another favorite: kinome…

A whopping $3.3 trillion was spent on U.S. health care in 2016. The national debate focuses on curbing these costs through cheaper delivery of care, but this is backward, says Dariush Mozaffarian, M.D., M.P.H., dean of Tufts University’s Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy: “At least $1 trillion is spent on diseases related to diet, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes, meaning these are preventable or delayable,” which equals savings. But this solution is never brought to the table. The challenge: Getting every one—from the public to policymakers—to understand that we can fix health care by fixing our health. “There’s a lobby for drugs, hospitals and physicians because those things make a profit. In our case, we would just be saving money. And there’s no lobby for saving…

Overall U.S. rates of colorectal cancer—an umbrella term for colon and rectal cancers— have been on the decline since the 1980s (yay!). But cases in adults under 50 have spiked 22 percent since 2000 (yikes!). An American Cancer Society study found that people in their mid-20s today have double the risk of colon cancer and four times the odds of rectal cancer than those the same age did 40 years ago. Typically, colorectal cancer targets people over 50, which is why you’re not even screened until then, so health experts are puzzled by these numbers. The increase in our couch-potato lifestyles and weight problems may explain part of the rise, but researchers say this can’t account for the entire problem. They speculate that factors like increased exposure to antibiotics and…

Whether you have one or need to be mindful of an allergic child—at school or on play dates—take it from Tara Mataraza Desmond (shown right, with Miles): forget one-for-one swaps, like searching for a cheese substitute. “It’s too paralyzing,” she says. Her solution: try a workaround—an entirely different dish that captures the same experience. —Julia Westbrook Reimagine Comfort Food If your kid wants comfort food (mac & cheese!) but can’t have dairy? “I think: what are the feelings or flavors that those dishes deliver?” says Desmond. She came up with cauliflower fettuccine with garlic, olive oil and toasted herb breadcrumbs. “It was an extremely comforting, textural experience for everyone,” she says. Snack on Graband-Go Produce Many prepackaged snacks either contain allergens or are made in a factory that processes them.…

BEFORE YOU GO Cheers if you’re an intrepid traveler. But, given the political situation in Myanmar, it’s smart to check with your state department for travel advisories before you finalize your plans.

Travel is great fun, just not, you know, the traveling part. Long lines, passports and pat-downs can make even the most intrepid among us yearn for a week of takeout dinners on the couch. But there is plenty of legroom on the No. 7 train. Cutting across the middle of Manhattan, the subway line connects the transportation hubs of Port Authority Bus Terminal and Grand Central Station before sliding under the East River. When it emerges mere minutes later in Queens, that’s when—for tourists, city transplants and even lifelong New Yorkers—the truly transporting experience begins. Leaving an island dense with tasting menus and Chipotle locations, you enter a sprawling culinary wonderland, by population larger than most American cities and by sheer number of languages spoken, one of the most diverse…

Barley Malt Syrup: Made from sprouted barley and water, it’s traditionally used as a sweetener in breads. Honey or molasses can be used instead but will give a less toasty flavor. Brewer’s Yeast: A key ingredient in beer-making. It can also be used in bread baking to add a hint of beer-like bitter ness. In natural-foods stores or online.
