...sunny morningin southern Mexico that my family gathered in an outdoor kitchen, ready to convert a mountain of ingredients into a four-course feast. Sun-dried chili peppers, fresh nuts, chunk chocolate and a score of other ingredients were waiting to be blended into a spicy mole sauce. Crisp jicamas had been set aside for salad. The buds of Castilian roses would be transformed into ice cream. It was an ambitious menu--especially since none of us had any idea how to make those dishes. But that was the point. We had enrolled in a daylong cooking class during...
...museum visits. Cabrera began our session with a trip to a traditional market--not the main one most tourists visit--where we got to know local produce, taste handmade cheeses and meet the growers who supplied our ingredients.

It boasts an archeological museum that possesses more artifacts from ancient Egypt - including the sarcophagus of Nefertiti - than anywhere outside of Cairo. The city's symbol, the Mole Antonelliana, a dome-plus-spire built in 1889 as part of a synagogue, now houses a fun cinema museum. Even Fiat's onetime central auto factory, the Lingotto, has been converted by architect Renzo Piano into a spiffy cultural and consumer mecca that includes an Agnelli art museum, a theater...
...Thornton, Colin Firth, and the seemingly unseduceable Bill Murray. She uses it again in her latest film, “Match Point,” to charm the fidelity off of a married Irish tennis star. Sure, Scarlett has her other exquisite qualities (bee-stung lips, right-cheek mole, and curves that she describes as her “leading ladies”), but she pins your emotions down and half-nelsons them with the voice.When Johansson picks up the phone for an interview with The Harvard Crimson, she returns pleasantries with gruff, no-nonsense intonation.
