For martini drinkers craving bubbles and spritz fans seeking something drier, this is where the two meet. Built with vodka, dry vermouth, olive brine, and sparkling wine, the dirty martini spritz preserves the savory backbone of a dirty martini while opening it up with effervescence.Brut Champagne gives the drink its backbone—its acidity stays crisp against the other players, keeping the drink focused and bright. Castelvetrano olives (my favorites are from New York institution Frankie’s 457) and their brine reinforce that structure, adding a clean salinity and subtle richness. The drink also has a one-two citrus punch: orange bitters (preferably Regan’s)…

Banana pudding, meet sheet cake. This crowd-friendly dessert takes inspiration from the Southern favorite, pairing a plush banana cake with a cloud of vanilla pudding cream, fresh banana slices, and plenty of vanilla wafers.Pouring hot browned butter over ripe bananas helps break them down while infusing the cake with toasty flavor. Meanwhile, steeping the banana peels in milk gives the topping an extra layer of banana flavor without adding extra fruit or moisture. The result is classic banana pudding flavor in the form of a snack cake that feeds a crowd, travels well, and slices neatly for picnics, potlucks, and…

What is the carnivore diet?Made up primarily of animal products like meat, fish, eggs, animal fats and small amounts of low-lactose dairy products, the carnivore diet is high in protein and fat, and very low in carbohydrates. As such, it excludes all other foods, including fruits, vegetables, legumes, grains, nuts and seeds.Due to the lack of robust evidence proving otherwise, the carnivore diet is considered unbalanced, and as a result, unlikely to be healthy. Given the many healthy eating messages we hear today, such as ‘eat more fruit and vegetables’, ‘focus on a plant-based diet’ and ‘limit red meat’, this…

Pickle coleslaw is a tangy marriage of two beloved barbecue sides. Punchy pickles introduce a pep and balance to crunchy coleslaw, which can often lean creamy and sweet. You can build this slaw from scratch with the help of a good knife, mandoline, or boxed grater, or you can opt to start with a store-bought bag of coleslaw mix. Red jalapeño flakes bring a mild, earth sweetness, but you can swap in crushed red chili flakes as long as you only use half the amount called for since they are spicier. This pickle coleslaw can be made ahead of time…
