For stepby-step instructions on achieving the perfect crumbs, see Prep School, page 93. Use them in salads (croutons in every bite!), sprinkle over pastas, dust atop tender braised meats, or just eat them out of hand (naturally). THE PROS RICH TORRISI AND MARIO CARBONE / Carbone / NYC FOR RICH TORRISI AND MARIO CARBONE, breadcrumbs aren’t just a pantry staple, they’re a religion: crispy, carb-y fairy dust, lending irresistible crunch to just about anything within sprinkling distance. Inside their growing empire of restaurants, they use no fewer than four distinctly different types of crumbs, each tailored to specific dishes and applications. It’s a focused reverence that most chefs reserve for, say, caviar. Their signature rye crumbs are meant as a finishing touch— loaded with toasty, herby flavor to crown everything…

Crispy, salty, creamy, and full of protein (really!), these chickpeas should be a staple in your kitchen. Rinse two 15-oz. cans chickpeas and pat dry. Place in a large skillet or Dutch oven and add 4 crushed garlic cloves and ⅓ cup olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until chickpeas are crisped and some have split open (these will be the most delicious ones), 10–15 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in 2 . cups chopped mixed tender herbs (such as parsley, cilantro, chives, and/or basil). Makes about 3 cups BRING HOME THE (GOOD) BACON This recipe is a great argument for spending more money on bacon. You’re not using much of it, so shelling out a couple of extra bucks for higherquality, thickercut…

FOR THE ADDRESSES OF THE SPOTS IN THIS STORY, SEE SOURCEBOOK ON PAGE 96. The Jewish deli is not dead. In fact, it might be more alive than ever—complete with schmaltzy matzo-ball soup and reimagined rugelach. For this, we can thank a crew of young New York restaurateurs who have given this legendary institution a new lease on life, tweaking every bagel (salt and pepper?), black-and-white cookie (in a sundae?), and delicate slice of smoked salmon (cured with beets?). The best part about these new riffs on the classics: They make it all feel old again. WHAT TO DO IN BETWEEN BAGELS?

WE’RE INTO THE FIFTH DECADE OF OUR LIVES NOW, and while there’s still an awful lot we don’t know, there is one thing we know for certain: However much we tell ourselves that this year is going to be different, we’re never going to drink eight glasses of water a day. But that doesn’t mean we’re abandoning the idea of New Year’s resolutions completely. In 2016, with some help from our less-jaded kids, we’ve come up with eight achievable goals that might even stick through spring. Skip the sugary salad dressing!

THE MENU □ WHOLE WHEAT CHAPATIS □ SWEET-AND-SOUR TOMATO CHUTNEY □ BEET AND CARROT SALAD □ CURRIED MEATBALLS □ YOGURT SAUCE □ SPICED RICE □ INDIAN PICKLES Three days a week, for four hours each night, a nautical-themed sandwich shop serves Indian food unlike anywhere else in New York City. This pop-up calls itself Mr. Curry, and it’s less concerned with authenticity than with memories— specifically those of its chef, Rebecca Collerton. “When I came to America, the Indian food in England was one of the things I really missed,” says the British transplant. So she took everything she knew about cooking from her years at Brooklyn stalwarts Saltie and Diner and applied it to the fragrant curries, sweet-sour chutneys, and rustic chapati bread that she remembered from her childhood.…

1 OATMEAL 2.0 Maple syrup and brown sugar? Snooze. Oatmeal’s finally getting interesting: Think ancient grains with coconut milk (Milktooth, Indianapolis), steel-cut oats with hazelnut granola (High Street on Hudson, NYC), and local grains with roasted figs (The London Plane, Seattle). 2 GRASS-FED GETS GOOD Anya Fernald, Belcampo CEO and author of the upcoming Home Cooked, explains why: “I’ve had a lot of bad grass-fed beef. That’s because most producers don’t have the time. Grassfed animals take longer to finish than corn-fed. I can make a delicious steak with lots of marbling in 27 months. I can’t do it in 18.” 3 VOCAB WORD Koji [koh-jee] n. Like raw denim and Pokémon, a certain type of phenomenon originates in Japan. The latest import of note: koji. What It Is Rice…

Seattle’s Capitol Cider has 20 cider taps and more than 100 bottles on its list. San Francisco gastropub Upcider stocks a deep selection of California bottles. New York’s Wassail rounds out the cider (and fresh apple juice) on tap with applebased cocktails.
