Daniela Jordan-Villaveces/Eater The cookbook author finds multiple kind of sustenance in the Ukrainian Christmas bread We all could use a little dinner inspiration — even Ali Slagle, who dreams of dinner . In “Dinner Is Served,” she asks colleagues about one night when they somehow transformed ingredients into dinner with all this life going on. This month’s installment: Olia Hercules’s latest book, Home Food , is about connecting to her homes by sharing recipes from her current base in London, her years in Cyprus and Italy, and her childhood in Ukraine. Her Ukrainian heritage is also why she started #CookForUkraine (more on that below), and why kolach has been in frequent rotation for her these days. Lately, I’ve been making a lot of a Ukrainian Christmas bread called kolach. I’ve made it at least four times in the past seven months, and am actually teaching it tonight. It’s my friend Katrya Kaluzhna ’s recipe and it’s from my hometown, Kakhovka. It’s an interesting recipe...

Shutterstock Where to find smoky lamb pastor, heirloom corn quesadillas, coconut micheladas, and pescado zarandeado in Puerto Vallarta Puerto Vallarta prides itself as being “the friendliest city in the world,” and hospitality runs through many locals’ veins. But the city of about half a million residents existed long before The Night of the Iguana started attracting visitors. Unlike many other vapid coastal tourist destinations, Vallarta has a strong regional culinary identity. The food style is a product of the stunning landscape, located between the Sierra Madre Occidental mountains on one side and the Banderas Bay in the Pacific Ocean on the other, and the cuisine is historically anchored by tropical ingredients, mariscos culture, and sazón that evokes the bold flavors of Jalisco. A day of dining for a typical Pata Salada (that’s Mexican coastal surf speak for a native of Puerto Vallarta) usually involves going out to eat tostadas piled high with ceviche molido during the hot...

Rather than put water in the peanut brittle, Lucas Candy puts craft beer At the iconic Lucas Candy sweet shop in Haverstraw, New York, owners Deb Bertrand and Nick Loucas make a variety of chocolates, candy canes, and beer brittle, a take on old-fashioned peanut brittle that substitutes water for craft beer. Using a recipe passed down by Loucas’s great uncle, the two begin by putting sugar and solid corn syrup, which makes will make the brittle less sticky, into a pot, before adding a chocolate and peanut butter porter into the mix. “Nick and I are huge craft beer lovers,” Bertrand says of conceptualizing the mixture. “[We thought] maybe we should add beer into the brittle and see if it changes the flavor, and sure enough, it worked.” The mixture gets put over a furnace and mixed until the sugar is dissolved. Raw Spanish peanuts are added — “the peanuts will actually cook in the sugar, so you get a nice roasted flavor and it mixes in a little better,” says Loucas — and after that ...

You, too, can try this at home. | Shutterstock You, too, can make 300 potato pancakes without breaking (much of) a sweat My relationship to Judaism isn’t as fraught as, say, Leah Remini’s to Scientology, but I’m not exactly Tevye either. I’m what you might call a “latke Jew.” As in: I don’t host Passover seders, I don’t fast on Yom Kippur, but when Hanukkah rolls around, you’ll find me in the kitchen grating potatoes and onions like the most devout — assuming rabbis make latkes, which I think they must? My interest in making latkes started when my husband, Craig, and I first moved to LA 11 years ago and decided to host a holiday party. The parties we’d attended over the years were almost always Christmas parties, with Christmas cookies and mulled wines and ugly sweaters and people named Kevin. When we finally decided to pull the trigger, I said, “Hey, what about a latke party?” And Craig said, “This is LA, no one’s going to eat latkes! Especially gay men.” But much like Judah Mac...
