Knowing how many beef short ribs to buy per person can be confusing. Buying by weight isn’t practical. Ask your butcher and mention that you’ll be using a slow cooker, so the ribs will have to be short otherwise they won’t fit in the pot. 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long is about right. A basic rule is that three 6 inch (15 cm) long ribs are enough per person.

Dal and roti are staple foods in every Indian household. Growing up, mine was no different, and I’ve carried on the tradition with my own family. I love the ease of this simple, rustic weeknight meal and the convenience of making and freezing rotis in advance. I also ratchet up the healthy heartiness of this meal by adding whatever greens I happen to have on hand.

Coffee came to Cuba in the mid-1700s, and soon thereafter Cuba became a large coffee producer and exporter. In fact, coffee production has had such an impact on the Cuban landscape that the first coffee plantations now have a place on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

As coffee production grew, the drink became part of the national identity; it’s no surprise that even those of us who have never been to Cuba have probably at least once or twice heard mention of a café cubano. But of course, there’s more to Cuban coffee culture than just one drink.
