Food For Thought – Top 100 Delicious Homemade Cuisine From All over the World
Who doesn’t remember their favourite food from home when they were growing up? That delicious taste stays with us forever. We can move all over the World, but the thought of our favourite home-cooked meals always make us happy.
In this blog, We are going to post Pictures, Recipes, Videos, Stories about Home cooked Meals from all over the World.
[Pro/Chef] – You work in a food-related industry and made it. Chefs, pastry chefs, bakers, butcher, sous chef, and food photographers all fit into this category.
[I ate] – You went to a place and most likely exchanged money to eat this. This tag includes restaurants, food trucks, etc.
Pure Food and Wine:
Everyone knows that food is important. It’s one of the basic necessities of life, after all. But what exactly is “food”? It’s not just the stuff that you buy at the grocery store or order at a restaurant. It’s also the meals that you eat at home, and even the snacks that you enjoy between meals. In short, food is anything that you eat or drink to nourish your body.
But not all food is created equal. Some foods are better for you than others, and some are even downright bad for your health. That’s why it’s important to be choosy about what you eat. And one way to do that is to make sure that you’re eating pure food.
So what exactly is pure food? Simply put, it’s food that has been made without the use of any artificial additives or chemicals. This means that pure food is free from pesticides, herbicides, growth hormones, and other harmful substances. It’s also usually organic, meaning that it was grown without the use of synthetic fertilizers or genetic engineering. In short, pure food is the kind of food that nature intended for us to eat.
If you’re looking for pure food, your best bet is to stick with homemade meals made from fresh, whole ingredients. But if you don’t have time to cook at home, there are plenty of restaurants and eateries that serve pure, healthy cuisine. Just make sure to do your research so that you can be sure you’re getting the real deal. After all, your health is worth it!
8 major food allergens:
Everyone has different dietary needs and restrictions. Some people are vegetarian, some people are kosher, and some people have food allergies. While it is possible to accommodate all of these diets, it can be difficult to keep track of everything. That’s why it’s important to know the top 8 major food allergens. This way, you can be sure that everyone will be able to enjoy your homemade cuisine or go out to eat without worry.
The top 8 major food allergens are: milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. If you or someone you know has a food allergy, it is important to avoid these ingredients. However, that doesn’t mean that you have to miss out on all the fun. There are plenty of delicious recipes that don’t use any of these ingredients. So whether you’re cooking for yourself or for a group, you can rest assured that everyone will be able to enjoy your meal.
These eight items are responsible for the vast majority of serious allergic reactions in the United States. If you have a severe allergy to one of these foods, it’s important to be careful when eating out or consuming homemade meals. Some restaurants are better than others at accommodating allergies, but it’s always best to err on the side of caution. By being aware of the top eight major food allergens, you can help keep yourself safe and healthy.

I tend to have two cooking modes: I either get caught up in nostalgia, and want to cook recipes I haven’t made in ages, or I thirst for the new. Last week, I had Danielle Oron’s Salted Tahini Chocolate Chip Cookies from 2016, which isn’t ages ago, technically, but which somehow feels like a past life. I plan to keep them in my current life. The tahini, salt, and chocolate work like magic together. The tahini forms the base of the cookie, and there’s just enough flour to hold the dough together, so it’s a nutty, chewy cookie, without the heft of one made with peanut butter. Or as Aly S., a Food52er commented, “Truly genius heaven. Tasted like the creamiest halva with chocolate in a cookie form. To die for!” Read More >>

1. A Question of Eagles Location: Broad Ripple, IN What was the inspiration for your design? Color was forefront on our mind this year, so we took a deep dive researching holiday decor rooted in more European traditions. There, we found lots of stripes and bold colors to inspire us for our mug. We think it exudes a cozy charm for drinking hot cocoa in your snow covered cottage. Just add a plaid tablecloth for maximum pattern play. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
2. Andrew Molleur Studio Ceramicist: Andrew Molleur Location: Kingston, NY What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? The biggest challenge to designing this mug was achieving the proper proportions. For example, the handle is large enough to slip at least two fingers behind, fits the mug body, and doesn't feel uncomfortable to hold and drink from when it is filled with liquid. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
3. Base Ceramics Ceramicist: Catalina Parra Location: Brooklyn, NY What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? What many don’t realize is that each mug is hand-painted using layers of colored clay, giving the colors a rich depth, and making every piece truly one-of-a-kind. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
4. Beginner Ceramics Ceramicist: Jesse Hamerman Location: Brooklyn, NY Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? The size can be perfect for ice cream, cereal, even a homemade warming chicken broth. You can also use it as a planter for a succulent, a pen holder, a container to make custom candles—there's so many possibilities. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
5. BG Ceramics Ceramicist: Bennett Graves Location: Pittsburgh, PA What was the inspiration for your design? I drink a lot of matcha lattes at home and wanted to create my ideal mug for that occasion. The glazes are inspired by the colors and textures of a glacial pool and felt like the perfect backdrop for the vibrant green of matcha. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
6. BKLYN CLAY Made Ceramicists: Sarah Allwine & Gustav Hamilton Location: New York, NY What was the inspiration for your design? Our inspiration was vintage travel mugs. They were made to keep your coffee on the dashboard while driving, which we think is very cool. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
7. Bombabird Ceramicist: Chelsea Erdner Location: Pittsburgh, PA What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? The mug is made from a white stoneware and finished in a custom glaze, mixed in my studio. The interior of the mug has a satin robin’s egg blue glaze while the exterior is dipped in a more textured pale blue with some speckles. Each glaze is a different hue of blue but I love how well they compliment each other. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
8. Carved Color Ceramicist: Taylor Suchy Location: Newport Beach, CA What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? The biggest challenge this year was keeping the lines on the design clean. The secondary clay body on the outside is more textured and rough so the glaze slips in between the tape when masking it off. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
9. Connor McGinn Studios Ceramicist: Connor McGinn Location: Tarrytown, NY What our team loves about this mug: The shape and color—it's a combo that begs us to drink coffee from it. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
10. Earth + Element Ceramicist: Elizabeth Gold Location: Los Angeles, CA What was the inspiration for your design? We drew inspiration from the cozy, timeless appeal of fall plaid for this mug design. Each cup is meticulously hand-painted with subtle iridescent matte stripes, which, when fired, softly blur to create a beautiful, one-of-a-kind effect. This organic variation makes every mug truly unique, reflecting the touch of our three talented local artisans in our Los Angeles studio. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
11. East Fork Pottery Location: Asheville, NC Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? This mug is perfect for pouring a cold one. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
12. Ekua Ceramics Ceramicist: Sara Todd Location: Long Beach, CA What was the inspiration for your design? I wanted something warming but familiar. I think the oxblood glaze and the pink really complement each other while also not being too boring. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
13. Elizabeth Benotti Ceramicist: Elizabeth Benotti Location: Eliot, ME What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? This mug is hand built from porcelain slabs instead of being wheel-thrown. Each piece is carefully assembled, with the blue underglaze hand-painted, and then the herringbone pattern is carved out in a process called sgraffito. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
14. Erin Louise Clancy Ceramicist: Erin Clancy Location: Queens, NY What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? The biggest challenge in designing this mug lies in the Mishima technique used to create its herringbone or knit/purl pattern. This ceramic method involves applying a contrasting color of slip into the grooves of an etched clay surface, requiring careful hand-carving and inlay with porcelain slip. Each piece demanded care and attention to successfully achieve the intricate surface pattern. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
15. Fenway Clayworks Ceramicist: Sean VanderVilet Location: Golden, CO Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? My goal is alway to make objects that can exist on a counter when not being used, and still provide an interesting visual element to a space. I think these mugs fit in that category. If not for coffee or tea, heck, use it for ice cream. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
16. Fisheye Ceramics Ceramicist: Kim Gilmour Location: Catskill, NY What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? I wanted to make a mug that could hold a substantial amount of coffee or tea, but that also felt light and comfortable and stable when held. Each mug is hand thrown, so it’s always a challenge to achieve all of that with each one. The handles are a particular challenge as you want to make it comfortable to hold for different hand sizes. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
17. Franca Ceramicist: Sierra Yip-Bannicq Location: Brooklyn, NY What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? Each Cara mug is hand-painted, so no two mugs are identical. The subtle variations in brushwork and glaze application make every piece one-of-a-kind. Made in our Brooklyn-based women-owned studio, this mug is a celebration of both art and craftsmanship. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
18. G’Day Thrillseekers Ceramicist: Hannah Groff Location: NY What was the inspiration for your design? I drew a lot of inspiration from my extensive tinned fish collection, and the classic Hudson River Estuary sign with the beautiful blue sturgeon on it that you see across New York. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
19. Handmade Studio TN Ceramicist: Morgan Williamson Location: Nashville, TN What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? Every single mug takes weeks to complete from start to finish. Each step is approached with care and love, from molding the clay, to impressing the texture, to firing in the kiln, to wrapping up and shipping to our customers! We hope you love them as much as we loved making them! Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
20. Heo Ceramics Ceramicist: Karent Tong Location: Los Angeles, CA What was the inspiration for your design? My studio Heo Ceramics takes its name from the Vietnamese word “heo” which means boar, or pig. I was born in the Year of the Pig, and the coil of a pig’s tail has always drawn my eye and made me smile. The handle on these mugs was designed to evoke that same feeling! Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
21. IIIVVVYYY Ceramics Ceramicist: Ivy Weinglass Location: Brooklyn, NY Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? One of my favorite things to drink out of my mugs is miso soup! When I'm at my studio and I need something nourishing and warm, I put a packet of miso soup with some hot water in a mug, stir and sip on it all day! Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
22. Jeremy Ayers Location: Waterbury, VT What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? The stripes on this mug are the raw clay of the mug itself. The color of the raw clay varies from mug to mug depending on where it was in the kiln. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
23. Jessie Lazar Ceramicist: Jessie Lazar Location: Brooklyn, NY What our team loves about this mug: Two things: Speckles and handle. The former's just fun—a playful reminder that your routine cup of joe is worth celebrating. And the latter, well, it simply feels really, really good in your hand. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
24. Kendall Davis Clay Ceramicist: Kendall Davis Location: Fort Worth, TX Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? You could always use my mug to secretly be drinking something stronger. You could also use the mug as the gift at a work related "gift exchange" party to be the star of the show. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
25. Lauren HB Studio Ceramicist: Lauren Herzak-Bauman Location: Kingston, NY What was the inspiration for your design? The form itself was my starting point. I envisioned taking a line for a walk, meandering around the contours of the mug. I hope to inspire a sense of mental wandering while someone sips a hot beverage. It's about creating a moment of pause and reflection within the everyday ritual of enjoying a drink. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
26. Lauren Lauzon Location: Brooklyn, NY What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? The oranges motif is one of my first ever designs I put on a mug almost six years ago. For this project, it felt really fitting to nod to my beginnings as a ceramicist, while also featuring one of my newer handle styles. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
27. Lost Quarry Ceramicist: Doris Josovitz Location: New York Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? I love that my mugs can be art pieces—they’re perfect for styling on a shelf or even for practical uses like holding pens and pencils on a desk. In the bathroom, they work well to keep toothbrushes and toothpaste organized. In my studio, I use my sample mugs to hold ceramic tools. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
28. Meltz Studio Ceramicist: Alexandra Meltzer Location: Newburgh, NY What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? The green color of the brushstrokes were created using something called copper wash. The copper used in ceramic colorants and the copper used to make pennies is the same element used in different forms. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
29. Mondays Ceramicist: Jennifer Fiore Location: Brooklyn, NY What was the inspiration for your design? There is a mug in the Etruscan Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art that is so perfect and simple and timeless. It was made thousands of years ago but manages to feel utterly contemporary. I want all of my work to have that same quality of not being clearly placed in time or following a trend. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
30. Mondays Ceramicist: Nina Lalli Location: Brooklyn, NY Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? My mug is heavy! Some people may prefer an alternative use. It's great as a small vase, pencil holder, smoothie or milkshake cup (with a straw). It could even be a planter, with some pebbles in the bottom to help drainage, or cute as a utensil holder on the dinner table or buffet. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
31. Mud Witch Ceramicist: Viviana Matsuda Location: San Francisco, CA What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? I wanted something playful and functional. I like my mugs to look like they are a part of a cartoon. I wanted the handle to be like a large donut but I had to make the handle hollow or the mug would be too heavy. I had to throw it on the wheel then make a plaster mold to pour a thin layer of slip so the handle would be lightweight. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
32. Myrth Ceramics Ceramicist: Abigail Smallwood Location: Providence, RI What was the inspiration for your design? Our mug design was inspired by the beautiful cascading light in our new studio in Providence, RI. Diagonal rays of light bathe our studio’s east-facing windows and this makes it a really lovely place to work every day. The light rays also reminded us of the texture of our Moon Vase so we combined the two ideas in a diagonal hand-carved surface on our mug. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
33. Objet Aimee Ceramicist: Aimee McLaughlin Location: Portland, ME What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? That stoneware clay was invented approximately 1,250,447 days ago (1400 BCE) and this stoneware mug was invented approximately 64 days ago (September 2024). Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
34. Pepper Stone Ceramics Ceramicist: Anna Richardson Location: Charlottesville, VA What was the inspiration for your design? I love a vintage French Stripe—the pattern is timeless. But I wanted to bring a more relaxed tone to that with the imperfect, painterly style of the stripes that I think adds a level of cozy. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
35. Personal Best Ceramicist: Whitney Simpkins Location: Baltimore, MD Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? I love using this size mug for a big scoop of ice cream. I've also been known to water the plants in my kitchen by filling a random mug from the cabinet. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
36. Pigeon Toe Ceramicist: Sam Hough Location: Portland, OR What was the inspiration for your design? The '70s! Pottery was full of warm tones, organic surface design, and interesting textures. We started with a custom-made brown clay, and contrasted it with bursts of melted glass crystals mixed into an off-white glaze. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
37. Recreation Center Ceramicist: Josephine Heilpern Location: New York, NY Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? I like to use my mugs for drinking broth in the morning. But outside of drinking anything you can use the mug to amplify sound! I mean it's not its main intention but oftentimes, when I'm in the kitchen cooking, I place my phone inside a mug to make my music louder. I guess it's maybe time I buy myself some speakers. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
38. Rory Pots Ceramicist: Rory Shamlian Location: Burlington, VT What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? It was made in a studio in Burlington, Vermont by a very small team of women, a few blocks away from Lake Champlain, likely to the sound of a true crime podcast. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
39. Ruth Easterbrook Location: Philadelphia, PA What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? I throw each cup from a lump of clay so getting the dimensions and/or proportions the same each time is a challenge. Slight variation is inherently part of the handmade process but I am happy with how similar they turned out. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
40. Sarah Cihat Ceramicist: Sarah Grant Location: Nashville, TN Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? I would definitely use it for ice cream, as I don’t like a big huge bowl of it. They’re also great for snacks like nuts or olives and could fit easily on a snack/charcuterie board, so be sure to buy multiples! Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
41. Sombra Ceramicist: Allison Shawn Location: Los Angeles, CA What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? Balancing texture, form, and function was key to creating a minimalist but unique mug. I wanted a surface that invites touch without being too coarse, creating a texture that’s earthy yet refined; I sought to ensure a stable, stackable form that's comfortable to hold; and I wanted to remove any extraneous elements from the making process. Finding that equilibrium took time, but it’s what makes each piece feel so inviting. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
42. Stone & Sparrow Ceramicist: Kate Marchand Location: Pittsburgh, PA What was the inspiration for your design? The inspiration for my design was really a matter of trial and error. I came up with this design while developing a series of pieces for a local coffee shop with a motorcycle theme (think Deus Ex Machina vibes). While developing something complementary to a "grease-spot" theme, I tried a lot of illustration patterns on the mug body surfaces. This one stuck! Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
43. Studiolo Artale Ceramicist: Isabella Artale Location: Union City, NJ Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? Since we're in soup season, I think this mug makes for a great "bowl." You get the function of a vessel, but with the added ergonomics of a handle! Plus the height of the mug wall is nice for keeping the soup warmer for longer. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
44. Studio Joo Ceramicist: Elaine Tian Location: Brooklyn, NY What was the inspiration for your design? My mug is a Japanese chawan-style bowl. After an inspiring visit to Japan in 2012, I took some tea ceremony classes at the Urasenke Chanoyu Center in NYC. My work has been steeped in the wabi-sabi tradition since. Fun Fact: Urasenke Chanoyu Center is located in the former studio and home of Mark Rothko. They have a Zen rock garden, and some of the most stunning tea rooms outside of Japan. I highly recommend a visit! Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
45. Sunday Studio Ceramicist: Joanne Lee Location: Brooklyn, NY What was the biggest challenge of designing this mug? I don't usually make mugs so landing on the right size was a challenge, to make it big enough but not too big. Clay shrinks about 12-15%, so something that looks the right size when it's freshly thrown can end up being kiddie-sized once it's gone through the final firing. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
46. This Quiet Dust Ceramicist: Dubhe Carreno Location: Lake Forest, IL Other than drinking coffee or tea, what’s another way someone could use your mug? I actually love my new mug design as a flower vase because it can pick up the color of any flower as well as the greens of the leaves. I think it would also make an awesome brush holder or small utensil holder for shorter items like measuring spoons, vegetable peeler, pizza cutter, etc. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
47. Utility Objects Ceramicist: Aleisha Duchateau Location: Atlanta, GA What was the inspiration for your design? Industrial soil compactors. If you see one you'll know. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
48. Void & Form Ceramicist: Natalie Legg Location: Denver, CO What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it?
That's tough because I left this mug almost entirely bare so that you can see the color of the clay itself. But, one thing someone probably wouldn't know is that this mug was created from clay I recycled in my studio. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
49. Wilcoxson Brooklyn Ceramics Ceramicist: Kevin Wilcoxson Location: Brooklyn, NY What was the inspiration for your design? The inspiration was celebration, confetti, bright colors and simple pleasure. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
50. Wolf Ceramics Ceramicist: Sarah Wolf Location: Hood River, OR What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it?
While I was throwing these on the wheel I was—probably—listening to Harry Potter on tape. It's a tradition every year in the studio. Once it gets dark and rainy and production starts ramping up for the holidays, we start listening to the series from the beginning. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
51. Wonki Ware Ceramicist: Wonki Ware Location: Western Cape, South Africa What we love about this mug: It belongs on the dining table of your fanciest dinner party, the corner of your office desk, and everywhere in between. Shop On Food52, $50 Photo by Armando Rafael
52. Daniel Zunino Ceramicist: Daniel Zunino Location: Brooklyn, NY What’s something about your mug that someone wouldn’t know just by looking at it? I spent several months developing a custom glaze for this piece, continuing to iterate and test in order to land on the color and texture I was after. Shop On Food52, $50

Buying a gift for the person who always hosts the hangs can be a tough order. After all, most people who are comfortable with having people over are the types to curate their housewares and have thoughts about silverware and glassware. But the good news is—and I can confirm this, as someone who hosts about once a week—there is literally no end to the amount of serving trays, bowls, and surprise-and-delight items that a host can fit in their lives (and cabinets). Here’s some that the host in your life will joyfully add to their collection. Read More >>
If it seems like everyone’s favorite food-fluencer Stanley Tucci has something new going on each month, that’s because he does. In September, the actor launched a collection of luxury nonstick cookware with the popular brand GreenPan. Then, in October, he released his second memoir, What I Ate in One Year: (and related thoughts), a follow up to his 2021 New York Times bestseller. Which brings us to his latest venture: Showing us all a fun way to display cheese this holiday season.
Starting today, Tucci is launching a limited edition cheese cake tower in collaboration with New York City-based cheese store, Murray’s Cheese and S. Pellegrino. The “cake” features four layers of artisanal cheese from Murray’s and weighs in at nearly 3 pounds. And thankfully for hosting season, it serves 8-10 people and can easily anchor a dinner party charcuterie spread. Read More >>
Resisting a little sweet treat is tough but not impossible for some. If someone on your holiday shopping list couldn’t imagine making it through the entire day—let alone conclude a meal—without a bite of sugar, you needn’t look any further than this gift guide. Our ideas range from the very tools needed to transform kitchens into at-home patisseries (think: scalloped pie dishes and piping kits) to special deliveries of award-winning baked goods shipped in packaging pretty enough to arrive sans a big bow. Without further ado, let the dessert people have their cake—and eat it with the stylish serveware you gifted them. Read More >>
I like wine enough to know that whenever I’m in a wine shop—I’m the idiot. Sure, I’ve got preferences (dry, easy drinking, cheap enough where I could consider buying two bottles) but they’re not deep-seated. I’ll let the person behind the counter—or bar or dining table—take me wherever they think is best. And I’m always better for it. That said, this year, we’re turning our Thanksgiving wine advice over to the professionals. Here are seven great Thanksgiving wines, all under $40, all chosen by sommeliers and those in the business of great sips. Read More >>
One thing New York City always does well is host a multi-hyphenate business. Pick two or three things you love, and I guarantee there’s an existing store that offers the perfect fusion. If you love books and pickles, you can go to Sweet Pickle Books (yes, that’s a real place). If your jam is playing chess and having a drink, head to Greenwich Village. And as of last week, if your personal Venn diagram includes vintage homewares, upscale groceries, and specialty coffee, there’s now Gem Home in Nolita. Photo by Sean Davidson
The shop comes from chef and restaurateur, Flynn McGarry, who got the idea from the grocer-cafes he visited as a kid in California. When he was still a teen, he became a chef and ran the cool-kid fine dining restaurant Gem in New York City for five years until he closed its doors last summer. He still runs its accompanying wine bar, Gem Wine, and the cool kids, such as Kaia Gerber, still flock. Read More >>
Last week, fall weather finally fell, and along with wrapping myself in sweaters and admiring the changing leaves on my Brooklyn block, I was craving soup. Particularly tomato soup, and mostly because I had a fresh loaf of sourdough and a generous hunk of Jarlsberg cheese (cue Adrian Grenier in The Devil Wears Prada) hanging out in my kitchen. The grilled cheese plan was sorted, but the one thing I was missing? Actual tomato soup. Sure, I could have opened my front door, run down the block to any one of my neighborhood’s fancy grocery stores, and picked up an artisanal blend of basil and nightshades—but did I mention it’s fall, and there’s a chill in the air? So instead, I opened my pantry cabinet doors and spotted a jar of Rao’s Roasted Red Pepper Tomato Sauce. And what is tomato soup but a thinned down tomato sauce anyway, right? I also found some vegetable stock in my pantry. This could work. Read More >>
