I wrote an entire cookbook about pizza. That means I’ve spent some quality time with the ingredients required to make it. And while my favorite pizza sauce is the one I make, sometimes, on busy weeknights, making it feels like an extra time-consuming step. That’s when I enlist the help of a store-bought shortcut.

In big cities, thick-crusted, rectangular pies have been all the rage in recent years. But as a restaurant critic, I’ve noticed the opposite trend emerging as Detroit-style mania dies down: Bar pizzas, or tavern pies, are bringing thin, crunchy crusts to the cutting edge. I grew up in Southern...

The trend of fat washing spirits continues — as a way to impart savory flavors and also to add a rich mouthfeel to a spirit, it makes for a great addition to a more complex cocktail.

Cranking up the grill is one of the best ways to cook — you don't need to worry about a messy kitchen or turning the oven on when it's a hot day. Plus, there is something about that slightly-charred flavor that adds a new element when cooking up some burgers. But there is some technique involved, so you have to know exactly how to do it if you want to grill like a master. Otherwise, you could be left with burgers that are too cooked on the outside and raw in the middle, or just overly dry throughout.
