...High Falls, N.Y., John Novi, 43, began free-associating ethnic influences for dishes at his DePuy Canal House, a restored wood-and-stone tavern dating from 1797. Now Novi, just back from an eating tour of Italy, plans to add new creations to his old favorites, such as a soup of kale, brisket and hominy, and fried troutlings with a sweet pepper and horseradish dip. Len Allison and Karen Hubert, who run Huberts, a superior restaurant off Gramercy Park in Manhattan, admit their debt to Novi, whom they consider the father of new American cooking...
...American Folklife Cookbook (Schocken). The most impassioned paean to Momma cooking is Jane and Michael Stern's Square Meals (Knopf). In their march down memory lane, the authors celebrate dishes from what many people rightfully consider the Dark Ages of American eating: tuna casseroles sauced with canned mushroom soup, Back-to-Bataan Spam and patently disgusting creations like a cabbage-apple-and-pickle salad with evaporated-milk dressing.

Environmental degradation robs the nation of up to 12% of its GDP, according to the World Bank, and each year 300,000 Chinese die prematurely...
...three times a week. A couple of school districts are leading the way. Paderborn-Elsen, a secondary school in the state of North Rhine Westphalia, began a healthy-lunches policy in the early '90s, after the meals served by the school's caterer grew progressively worse. "The tomato soup would end up containing only three rice grains and with only a faint notion of a real tomato," says Sigrid Beer, a mother of three kids at the school and a nutrition researcher. "We decided that we needed something more healthy." The parents now run their own independent cafeteria with eight...
...know, at the beginning of the year there was a lot of political stuff. Now there's a lot of pop culture in the news. Everything is like a big giant soup right now--you know, like Laura Bush is a desperate housewife. It's always more fun when there's more political stuff going on. There's just so much more juicy stuff to dive into...
