Laurie Woolever has played many roles in the food world. She was Mario Batali’s assistant from 1999 to 2002, and Anthony Bourdain’s assistant, working closely on his books and television shows, from 2009 until his death in 2018. Her new memoir, “Care and Feeding,” which Ecco will publish on Tuesday, is a candid account of…
This winter, Denver has faced record-breaking Arctic blasts — below-zero temperatures, heavy snowfalls and brutal wind chills. But at Barolo Grill, a longtime Italian fixture in the affluent Cherry Creek neighborhood, the mood is warm.

To bring to life the nefarious corporation at the center of the dystopian thriller “Severance,” the director of photography Jessica Lee Gagné needed to find the right location for a fictional headquarters.

The first day of spring arrives in two weeks, and I’ve already begun my seasonal tradition of paring down my stuff: I’ve tackled small organizing projects, which experts call “soft decluttering.” (I purged the murky area under my bathroom sink.) And I’ve given away sentimental clutter like a hand-me-down china set I haven’t used for…
When the Minnesota boys’ high school state hockey tournament wraps up each year, John King retreats to his basement in White Bear Lake, Minn., so he can pore through footage of mullets, bleached mops and caterpillarlike mustaches. The resulting video montage — his “All Hockey Hair Team” — was released on Sunday, taking its annual…

The French chef Yann Nury wants you to remember that the winter holidays will be over soon. Roasts will be sliced, served and forgotten; Champagne will be drunk.
