Let’s play a round of “anything you can do I can do better.” This time it’s eggplant versus meat. Eggplant can be grilled, turned into steaks, and plays the part of both burger and bacon pretty well. Sure, a steak can be grilled and roasted too, but when is the last time you saw steak bacon? Here are eight times eggplant beat meat at its own games.

We’ve all been there: You pack up some snacks for your beach day or that mid-afternoon movie theater trip, and you end up leaving them behind in the car. There they sit for a few hours until you return, but they actually end up tasting even better. Peanut butter cups, we’re looking at you.

Ah, summer — that blissful season when life is cool and carefree. (Just kidding — you’re trapped in an office while it’s gorgeous out, your hair can’t handle the humidity, and your vacation days are dwindling.) But! The spate of new releases at your local bookstore is finally more compelling than your out-of-date Netflix queue.
We’ve rounded up a selection of reading material by turns easy, breezy, and above all, brilliant — plus its perfect cocktail complement. Enjoy.

Roasted sweet corn is pretty hard to beat during the summer months. It usually requires little more than a pat of butter and a sprinkle of salt and pepper, but don’t let the season pass without making elote, that beautiful mess of crema, mayonnaise, and cotija cheese that only makes roasted summer corn more magical. With just a few simple techniques, this popular Mexican street snack can become your ultimate grilled corn upgrade.

When you go on vacation, what are the tools and other kitchen essentials that come with you, and what gets left behind? This is the question we posed to our readers earlier this week and I have to confess I was surprised — and thrilled! — to discover our readers are just as guilty of packing everything but the kitchen sink as I am.
Kevin from Milwaukee keeps a set of back-up pots and pans, plus “knives, spatulas, bowls, tongs, and lighters” at the ready! Others were slightly more discerning, but as a rule, our readers like to make sure their vacation rental kitchen is well-stocked with their stuff.
Here’s what our readers pack so they can get into their cooking groove wherever they are.

One of the most striking sights on the dinner table is a piece of chicken or a slab of zucchini with a black crust striped down the side. This blackened area on a well-cooked piece of fish, meat, or vegetable — hot from the grill or the stove — promises a crisp crust and smoky flavor.
But is this food blackened or charred? Is there a technical difference between these two terms for the cooking style that leaves the most evidence of its primal contact with fire?

When you’re burning the midnight oil and your stomach starts to grumble, what should you reach for to fuel you through the night? We decided to go directly to the source. We mean writers, of course. After all, who knows better the pain and pleasure of the midnight munchies than the literary set?
This month, we asked 20 authors, past and present, to share what they snack on in the wee hours.
Leila Meacham’s epic novel Roses has been compared to Gone With the Wind and Thornbirds — in other words, it’s a romance for the ages and it immediately catapulted the New York Times Best Sellers List.
Her latest work will also pull at your heartstrings. Set in Western Texas, Ryan’s Hand is the story of familial love and first love. And just as the characters in Meacham’s novel struggle with their forbidden desires, so does the author — with her forbidden foods. Here’s the snack she succumbs to in the twilight hours.

You’re probably most familiar with hot pepper jelly as that sweet and spicy flavor booster that’s so often paired with cream cheese and crackers, but it does some of its best work when spread over a hot ear of corn on the cob. Leave the butter in the fridge — all you need is a little hot pepper jelly.
