I love a good no-bake cookie because they often come with the promise of a short ingredient list, with chocolate taking the lead. These sweet bites from Dorie Greenspan deliver such a treat. Perfect for Christmas, Hanukkah, Passover, and all the days before, after, and in between, these morsels are spun together from melted chocolate, a bit of butter, and crushed matzo cookies.

Giving a bottle of liquor or wine as a gift for the holidays will never go out of style, but sometimes it’s nice to take things one step further. Say, for instance, if you infused some gin with cardamom and ginger — now that would really put your gift recipient in high spirits.

Wine glasses can be confusing. Beyond the basics — with stems or without, white wine and red wine — there are glasses for specific varietals. A Cabernet glass is different from a Bordeaux glass, and while most white wine glasses are more tapered, a Burgundy glass (ideal for Chardonnay and Gruner Veltliner) has a very generous bowl. Who can keep all that straight?

But here’s a little secret I’ll let you in on: None of this matters, when it comes to how much wine to pour. Practically every wine glass has a simple way of showing you how much wine it should hold; once you see it you’ll see how obvious it is!

What has 52 bones, 33 joints, 107 ligaments, 19 muscles and tendons, and about 250,000 sweat glands? Some people may call them dogs, clodhoppers, and piggly wigglys but I like to keep it simple and just call them my feet. They are so important for locomotion that the first shoes were fashioned out of animal skins 5,000,000 years ago during the Ice Age just to protect them. Since then, some of the most advanced technology in the world has been directed toward footwear, so that 25% of the bones in our body can perform and be protected.

Classic comfort is a meal in a slow cooker. The moment cool weather begins to set in, I am immediately in what I call “crockpot mode.”
