It’s Your Corn, and You Can Cobbler If You Want To

Sign up for our newsletter    It’s Your Corn, and You Can Cobbler If You Want To By: The TASTE Editors Photos: Emily Ferretti The best stage of summer for cooking might arguably be the moment when the weather has just gotten cool enough to turn the oven on. The farmers’ market is still flush with green beans, tomatoes, and plums, and it’s prime time for apricot galettes, warm gingerbread to eat with fresh peaches, and tarts full of feta and figs. It also happens to be the best time of the year for savory cobblers. Don’t get us wrong—cobblers and crisps full of juicy stone fruits are a staple of the ...

Nas: King’s Disease | Review – Pitchfork

By all measures, the rollout of 2018’s NASIR, the fourth project of Kanye West’s chaotic Wyoming summer, was a mess. Marred by Nas’ lazy flows and conspiracy theories, the album also arrived under the troubling cloud of domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife Kelis. Nas’ 13th album, King’s Disease, seeks a return to the cozy wistfulness of 2012’s Life Is Good, a late-career opus which toured ’80s stash spots and triumphant nights at the Apollo while ostensibly interrogating the dissolution of his marriage. The new album marks a retreat into a nostalgia-act comfort zone—one which suits Nas, even as it yields diminishing returns. There’s desperation in the way Nas endlessly plumbs the scenes of his adolescence, like a red-eyed wedding guest clutching your shoulder three hours into the...

The most precious gift: A healthy child – UNICEF

We are floating with love and wonder from the safe and healthy arrival of our daughter. But we know we’re the lucky ones and not everyone can have a birthing experience as peaceful as ours was. Communities around the world are still experiencing a shortage of healthcare workers and every eleven seconds a pregnant woman or newborn dies, mostly from preventable causes. Since COVID-19, many more newborn lives are at risk because of a greater lack of access to water, soap, vaccines and medicines that prevent diseases. As parents to a newborn, this breaks our hearts, as we empathize with struggling parents now more than ever. As UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors, we know UNICEF is there, on the ground, doing whatever it takes to make sure every expecting mother has access to a trained health worker ...
