New Cookbooks
Chef Skye Gyngell of Petersham Nurseries Café in London has written a gorgeous homage to her Favorite Ingredients, showing the highest respect for tomatoes, olive oil and garlic. Try her Ribollita, a Tuscan dish featuring beans, tomatoes and bread.
Teatime
Writer and tea connoisseur Pat Tanumihardja examines The Way of Tea in Asian Cultures in an excerpt from her new cookbook, The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook. She also offers a recipe for Marbled Tea Eggs, a popular, nutritious Chinese snack food. Our tea of the month hails from the same continent: Teas Etc.'s Golden Monkey. The organic offering took second-place in the Signature Famous Teas – Hot Tea Class of the 2009 World Tea Championship.
To Your Health
Artichokes arrive at farmers markets this month. Learn more about the health benefits of this demure vegetable that resists being eaten every step of the way. Another "A-list" vegetable is asparagus. Learn the way to its heart with our fab recipe for Roasted Asparagus with Chili Vinaigrette. Maybe it's time to renew your January weight loss vows. Then check out The Skinnygirl Dish by reality star Bethenny Frankel, star of the Bravo show "The Real Housewives of New York City."
Pretty Perfect
It's the return of Spa Week. Enjoy a full week of pampering without emptying your wallet. Hair product addicts will love Aveda's new Light Elements Texturizing Creme, which accentuates layers, adds texture and takes care of those frizzy little fly-aways.
