Mercedes Arias and Delfina Vidal Frago take a romantic view of history in more ways than one in “Tito, Margot and Me,” a curious look at the love story between world-renowned British ballerina Margot Fonteyn and Panamanian politician Roberto “Tito” Arias. Recently selected by the latter country as its official Oscar entry for international feature, […]
Amazon’s “Red One” is led by Chris Evans and Dwayne Johnson, two past winners of People’s Sexiest Man Alive, but one half-goat, half-heartthrob is stealing the show. “Game of Thrones” alum Kristofer Hivju plays Krampus, Santa’s surprisingly hot, devilish brother. He’s introduced halfway through the movie as Evans’ Jack O’Malley and Johnson’s Callum Drift are […]
A screenwriter has filed a copyright infringement suit against Netflix over the film “Rez Ball,” though the film was already shot by the time he shared his screenplay. Rob Grabow alleges that the film shares unmistakable similarities with his script, entitled “The Gift of Game.” Both are stories about Native American high school basketball players […]
Disney has removed an untitled “Star Wars” film previously scheduled for Dec. 18, 2026 from its release calendar. “Ice Age 6” will move into its spot. While it was never confirmed exactly what this project would be, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy was previously announced as the director of an upcoming “Star Wars” film following Daisy Ridley’s Rey […]
On a recent trip, I packed spring rolls for the flight – a travel first for me. Over the years I’ve done leftover sesame noodles, veggie burgers, quinoa bites, quinoa patties, and chickpea salad – but never spring rolls. The time of year was all wrong for any sort of traditional Vietnamese-inspired spring rolls or […]
Balsamic roasted butternut squash, deeply toasted walnuts, and nutty farro come together in this salad inspired by the countless farro salads I enjoyed while on the Umbrian chapter of a recent Italian adventure. The Italians were using farro alongside cherry tomatoes and basil (with the occasional introduction of cheese or local olives), but the seasons […]
Inspiration for this apple pie struck not long after posting a Shaker lemon pie earlier this year. I stumbled on a book about Shaker life and design in a used book store. My head was still in Shaker world, so I picked it up. It was a large book, the most comprehensive I’ve come across, […]
This winter penne pasta was inspired by the contents of a produce box. I seem to inherit CSA boxes. Friends and neighbors forget to put holds on their subscriptions before leaving town, and sure enough, they end up in my kitchen. When I was a kid there was a house that was always happy to […]
There are a number of cookbooks this spring I’m wildly excited about and this exceptional vegan chili is from one of them. It is from Jess Damuck’s Health Nut: A Feel-Good Cookbook and I’ve been making it regularly ever since I saw an early version of the book last year. I’ll talk a bit more […]
These scones are inspired by a small Rangpur lime tree I planted in a terracotta pot on our patio. The tree came in the mail, kind of twig-like in a long box, and arrived about four years ago. The harvests are small, but the limes are exquisite, so I like to make everything I do […]
