Happy Bonne Maman Advent Calendar Season to All Who Celebrate

Image
The 2022 Bonne Maman advent calendar. | Bonne Maman Jamvent is here, bringing the wholesome joy of watching people unbox tiny jars of jam on TikTok It’s finally here: Tomorrow, the advent calendars will commence once again, and the tiny jars of Bonne Maman jam will take their rightful place all over my For You page, with people revealing one gingham-topped jar per day until Christmas and sharing a flurry of reviews. Last year brought such delights as wild blueberry with lemon balm and sweet orange and passion fruit to my feeds, but this year, who knows what whimsical, limited-edition flavors will stand out? Perhaps the fancy-sounding mirabelle plum? Chestnut and orange with spice also sounds quite nice. The advent calendar has humble beginnings — maybe as a child you opened a door on a paper calendar to reveal a picture per day, or found a piece of candy inside a pocket. But due to the relentless consumption culture of the holidays, the branded advent calendar category has become...

Olive Oil Never Needed a Rebrand — But It’s Getting One Anyway

Image
Lille Allen/Eater Brands like Brightland, Graza, Fat Gold, and Rubirosa have brought the elusive element of coolness to the pantry staple In the press images for Single & Fat extra virgin olive oil, high-fashion models flounce around artfully messy hotel rooms, eating spaghetti while lounging in a bathtub, pouring oil out of a millennial pink and olive green tin onto a slice of pizza, even rubbing each other down with the golden product, perfectly in view of a set of muscular abs. A scrolling chyron on the website encourages buyers to “Douse it. Drench it. Pour it. Slurp it. Lick it. Rub it. Mix it. Toss it. Cook it. Slather it. Spritz it. Stir it.” This is about sex, about indulgence, about gluttony as sin. But also, the brand reminds you, “it’s good fat, baby.” For many people, olive oil is a fact of life that doesn’t inspire much extra thought. If you’re buying olive oil, you buy the big dark glass bottle from the grocery store and move on with your day. And when olive oil...

The Best Gift for Anyone and Everyone Is a Really Good Cup

Image
A selection of Stanley cups. | Stanley After all, everyone needs to hydrate The holiday season is here, and in addition to all the snacks and visits with family, that also means spending hours figuring out which gifts to buy for all the people in your life. The process of gift-hunting can be seriously overwhelming, especially when you’ve got a bunch of picky folks on your gifting list. But there is an easy solution, one that addresses a need that every human on Earth has every single day: Just buy everyone on your list a really great cup. And of course, we’re not talking about a basic drinking glass, here. A great insulated cup is nigh impossible to break, often comes with a spill-proof lid, and is a true luxury, even for people who think they don’t care what kind of vessel their beverage is served in. They’re also environmentally friendly, and won’t break the budget if you’ve got a lot of gifts to buy this year. There are a slew of drinking cups on the market, all of which will ...

Let’s Talk About the WTF Ending of ‘The Menu’

Image
Ralph Fiennes and Hong Chau in a scene from “The Menu.” | © 2022 20th Century Studios All Rights Reserved. Spoilers ahead for one of the wildest movie endings I’ve ever seen As The Menu , director Mark Mylod’s chilling send-up of the world of exclusive fine dining, hurtled toward its dramatic ending, something in my brain broke. After almost two hours of being completely terrified — Ralph Fiennes is cold and chilling as chef Julian Slowik, an egomaniac driven to violence by his obsession with culinary perfection at his restaurant Hawthorne — I started laughing uncontrollably. (Note: Major spoilers for the ending ahead.) Finally, after torturing his guests and letting the woman he sexually harassed stab him in the leg, chef Julian’s vision becomes painfully funny. As his diners watch on in horror, kitchen staffers artfully scatter the restaurant’s dining room with graham cracker crumbs and various sauces. And then, Julian lights the restaurant on fire as the diners turn themselves...

I Freaking Love the Apple Database

Image
Lille Allen/Eater Welcome to Orange Pippin, a fruit enthusiast’s fantasia Maybe it has to do with the increasingly chaotic nature of the world, or maybe I’m more of a method-oriented person than I thought, but I’ve come to realize that I love a good database. I still use the Food Timeline with regularity, tirelessly scroll through the @depthsofwikipedia Instagram account , and recently, when my friend sent me a link to the apple and stonefruit cataloging database Orange Pippin , I set aside a good hour of my time to really settle in. A website that is “all about apples, pears, plums, and cherries - and orchards where they are grown” with over 700 apple varieties, 2,000 orchards, and user-inputted data and reviews of fruit varieties? This is a website that is — in short — extremely my shit. I could while away an entire afternoon on Orange Pippin if I tried, just reading citizen reviews of varieties like the Falstaff apple : “In our experience this is also an apple which almost eve...

Make Your Own Rules on Thanksgiving

Last year’s Thanksgiving spread included roast duck, biscuits, mac and cheese, stuffing, sweet potatoes, and Brussels sprouts. | Stephanie Wu My ideal holiday consists of just two things A version of this post originally appeared on November 19, 2022, in Stephanie Wu’s newsletter, “From the Editor,” a roundup of the most vital news and stories in the food world. Read the archives and subscribe now . Thanksgiving has always ranked as one of my favorite holidays. As someone who moved far away from home for college, the four-day break was the first time I experienced friends coming together as a satellite family, and capturing that feeling of home from afar. Celebrating Thanksgiving — a holiday with complicated, colonial origins — became more of an event as time went on. My freshman year, the first time I spent the holiday in the U.S., consisted of a bunch of friends from colleges throughout the Northeast gathered in my dorm room only to find that none of us knew how to work a c...

It’s Time to Turn Your Thanksgiving Leftovers Into Lasagna

Image
Heedayah Lockman /Eater Get out the pasta sheets and embrace the magic At the beginning of the pandemic, like many young-ish people, my partner and I moved back in with my mom and stepdad for a few months while we figured some shit out. It was a soft landing after an international relocation — soft because my parents are two remarkably chill people who also happen to have a pool. Except for my stepdad, we all also love to cook, so even if we wouldn’t be going anywhere for a while, at least we’d be eating well. Soon after Sam and I moved in, a trend emerged among the four of us. An hour or two after we’d dispersed throughout the house to work, one person would begin texting our group chat about the plan for dinner that night. “We have stuff to grill,” a text from my mom would say. “Can run out and get potatoes for potato salad?” Sam would write. “Should I make a peach pie? Or blueberry?” I’d ask, always eager to throw dessert into the mix. By the end of the afternoon, simple dinner...

How Traditional Hidalgo-Style Barbacoa Is Made in an Underground Pit in Los Angeles

Image
Gonzalo Ramirez’s raises and butchers his own goats in a 24 hour process. Gonzalo Ramirez is one of the only barbacoyeros in the U.S. who raises and butchers his own lambs, using the meat to create traditional Hidalgo-style barbacoa that he sells street-side in Los Angeles. Ramirez and his family are fourth-generation masters of the Hidalguenese barbacoa tradition , originating from the Hidalgo state of Mexico. After butchering, the lamb’s shoulders, tailbone, spine, and other meaty parts are used for the barbacoa and consomé, and nothing goes to waste: the intestines and stomach are used to make pancita (offal-stuffed stomach) and moronga (blood sausage). To make barbacoa, Ramirez uses a pit in the ground, which is cleaned before every cook. Once the fire is set in the pit, Ramirez places in the consomé and set a grill over the pit so the meat has something to rest on. The grill is covered in maguey leaves “to enhance the flavors,” says Ramirez. “And it’s going to help prevent the...

A Honeynut Dream Cake Recipe That Will Make You Swoon

Image
Dina Ávila/Eater Inspired by the Danish Drømmekage, Zoë Kanan’s loaf cake marries a fluffy sponge with a gooey, crunchy topping Several autumns ago I was lucky enough to travel to Copenhagen to participate in a program for chefs from around the world. While I was there I had access to some of the most incredible and thoughtful food, made with peak-season ingredients and served in gorgeous dining rooms. It was spectacular and special, but the food memory I return to most from that trip is one that formed outside of those dining rooms, in an unexpected and humble way. I took a train just outside the city to the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art. As I wandered the grounds I smelled something baking and followed the scent to a small gathering of bundled-up kids and parents. The kids were roasting bread dough wrapped around a stick over an open fire — the Danish equivalent of s’mores, I learned. Someone offered me a slice of a cake from a nearby table; I, of course, accepted. It was a squ...

Keke Palmer Weighs In on the Great Online Seasoning Debate

Image
Keke Palmer | Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images for Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures UK “I don’t want to go to anybody’s house where they don’t season their food.” Keke Palmer is the definition of a multi-hyphenate. She’s an actress who’s appeared in acclaimed films like Akeelah and the Bee and Jordan Peele’s Nope , a singer who’s released multiple albums, a podcast host, and bonafide social media star. But she’s also extremely serious about making sure that her food is perfectly seasoned. “Everybody needs to season their food,” Palmer says. “It’s the holiday season, I don’t want to go to anybody’s house where they don’t season their food.” Palmer now has a real dog in this fight. Her latest projects are as spokesperson for brands like Doritos and McCormick — the latter the manufacturer of probably most of the spices in your cabinet, and for which she’s helping to launch the Ten, a giftable set of 10 essential spices that every home cook should have in their arsenal. So natural...
