Asparagus both raw and cooked with grapefruit, vanilla and saffron is a provocative, multidimensional entrée, and a sign from chef Mauro Colagreco that you are in for an extraordinary meal. The Argentina-born Italian - a Michelin star holder and voted 2009's newcomer of the year by the Gault Millau guide - eschews the molecular-style cooking that is becoming rather ubiquitous in fine dining and instead prefers earthy textures and light, simple ingredients, unexpectedly layered.

...caked tubes of mascara, and back issues of Vogue, I felt as though I had violated some ill-defined feminist responsibility.

An isolated instance of clever wordplay does not an Elvis Costello make. That...
...Take fasting. One of the staples of both traditional wellness protocols and traditional religious rituals is the cleansing fast, which is said to purge toxins in the first case and purge sins or serve other pious ends in the second. There are secular water fasts, tea fasts and grapefruit fasts, to say nothing of the lemon, maple-syrup and cayenne-pepper fast. Jews fast on Yom Kippur; Muslims observe Ramadan; Catholics have Lent; Hindus give up food on 18 major holidays. Done right, these fasts may lead to a state of clarity and even euphoria. This, in turn, can give...
