An Impossible Burger which resembles meat but is made of plant products. Credit Jason Henry for The New York Times One of the chief selling points of the Impossible Burger, a much ballyhooed plant-based burger patty, is its resemblance to meat, right down to the taste and beeflike “blood.” Those qualities, from an ingredient produced by a genetically engineered yeast, have made the burger a darling among high-end restaurants like Momofuku Nishi in New York and Jardinière in...

I am starting a new group. I am calling it Five Ingredients Or Less, and I want it to center on recipes that use five ingredients or less. Easy to make tasty, and can be made in a jif. 5 ingredient recipes or 4 ingredient recipes often use sauces that are store bought, which is fine. Liquids like water , milk or broths do not count as an ingredient. I hope this will be fun. Let's cook.

The British have a pretty fantastic track record when it comes to keeping their armed forces buzzed: the British Royal Navy got rations of overproof rum in the 18th century; there were floating breweries for World War II-era British navy stationed in the Pacific; and to this day, Naval officers who’ve failed the Submarine Command Course (aka “The Perisher”) have traditionally received a bottle of whiskey . So the theory that “session beer” comes from a World War I-era...
