Good Food

You are what you eat

We head to Chinatown to make isamadas with Chef Isa Fabro before tasting kinilaw and pancit with Jonathan Gold at LASA. The Grape Whisperer, Ruben Solorzano, updates us on the harvest along California’s Central Coast. The author of Devoured, Sophie Egan, discusses the factors that define our eating habits. Plus: Moruno’s baby eggplant rescoldo recipe and the final installment of Burned.

The average American supermarket carries more than 42,000 items for consumers to choose from. The possibilities are endless. What are the motivations that drive our buying choices and how do our personal values define our eating habits? These questions keep Sophie Egan up at night. She’s a food and health writer who works at The Culinary Institute of America. Her new book is Devoured: From Chicken Wings to Kale Smoothies — How What We Eat Defines Who We Are.
