Whether it’s learning to work from home, homeschooling your kids, or just spending more time at home, many of us have picked up new skills we never thought we would have. Though there are definitely things we all miss and we’ve all had to make sacrifices, not everything to come from the last year has been bad....

Celeste Holz-Schietinger, vice president of product innovation for Impossible Foods, is walking me through a tour—virtually, thanks to the pandemic—of the company’s Oakland, California, factory. The “clean room” where the manufacturing takes place looks as if a demigod has transformed the space, turning every wall, pipe and machine she touched into stainless steel. Workers in white jackets, gloves and face shields scrub and squeegee the equipment surfaces, then tap a touchscreen to set the automated processes in motion....
The original intention of the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) was to help lower high blood pressure (or hypertension), which research shows it does well. But even if you don’t have high blood pressure, you might benefit from trying the DASH Diet, as research also shows it promotes weight loss, combats diabetes and protects your heart—all while being easy to follow and nutritious. The focus of the DASH Diet is more about what you can eat, rather than cutting foods out, like many trendy diets do these days, such as Whole30 and the ketogenic diet, which call to eliminate certain food groups....

Love the creamy, dreamy results of risotto but tend to only order it off of restaurant menus due to its seemingly tedious process? We’ve been there. But we changed our tune once we learned a trick for no-stir risotto—and we haven’t looked back since. Today, Ina Garten inspired us to try it again the traditional way, thanks to a totally tempting-looking snapshot she shared on Instagram: In addition to being posted on her website, this recipe is featured in the Weekend Lunch episode of Barefoot Contessa and in Garten’s 2002 cookbook Barefoot Contessa Family Style (buy it: $22....
Hummus is everywhere. While it’s been around for a long time, this chickpea and tahini dip has really started to take off recently. If you’ve looked at the refrigerated section of your grocery store lately, some have entire displays of the many brands and versions of hummus. There’s plain hummus, flavored hummus, avocado hummus, black bean hummus and even—yep—dessert hummus. Sure, it seems good-for-you, but what’s really in the spread, and is hummus healthy?...
