Foraging My Way Through Noma

Noma is a three-Michelin-star restaurant run by chef René Redzepi, and co-founded by Claus Meyer, in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Okay, so every food writer has written about Noma in the past twenty-plus years.

What more can we say about it?

Terracotta Warriors

It’s a schlep to get to X’ian China and the day we were there, the air was so bad that our eyes were burning (You can almost breath in the smog from the photo.) and we couldn’t wait to leave. Until we got to Emperor Qinshihuang's Mausoleum Site.

Aspen in Winter

Aspen Colorado has a reputation for being a playground for billionaires. (Well, considering the number of private jets parked at the airport there’s some truth to that.) But I remember the good old days when it was a playground for mere millionaires (who have all been driven out to Basalt).

Chai Phraya River, Bangkok

We’ve all been in traffic jams before, right? But there are American traffic jams like LA and then there are epic traffic jams like Bangkok.

Le Bernardin

All those years we lived in New York City we never got around to eating at Le Bernardin, the legendary three-star Michelin restaurant by Eric Ripert which opened in 1986.

A hook-up in Madrid

We recently checked into a VRBO for an eight-night stay in Barrio de las Letras in Madrid, a neighborhood that was home to some great 17th-century writers.

Luxembourg Garden

We are back in Paris and there’s so much to do with hardly any time to do it. However, one of my favorite things is to walk through the Jardin du Luxembourg, one of the city’s most beautiful parks.

In the Land of Pintxos

It’s been a while since we’ve been to Spain so here we go, top to bottom starting in Basque. The Basque country straddles the North of Spain and the South of France.

I wish I’d paid attention in French class

It all begins with an idea.

One of the best things about travel is tasting the local food. We recreate the authentic flavors of our travels with these easy-to-make recipes from around the world.

Recipes

Breaded Chicken With Market Tomatoes

When it’s tomato season it’s time to go to your local farmers market and buy fresh vine ripened tomatoes.

Bac Ha Ginger Chicken

There are a zillion Chinese stir-fries. I've been trying to perfect a few favorites for weekday meals.

Chicken Pho

There's nothing more classic in Vietnamese cuisine than Pho. (No it's not pronounced "fo" but closer to "furr" or "faa".)

Dragon Chicken

There’s something about this preparation that elevates it from the usual Chinese chicken stir fry.

Kung Pao Chicken

I went to a cooking class a few years ago in Beijing called Sesame Kitchen that was located in a tiny kitchen deep in one of the authentic hutongs in the city.
