The Truth Alongside the Triumphs: An Interview with Mayukh Sen

2 weeks ago | hazlitt.net | Rebecca Flint Marx

“At the start of 1935, Merle Oberon feared her Hollywood career was over,” Mayukh Sen writes in the introduction to Love, Queenie: Merle Oberon, Hollywood’s First South Asian Star (W.W. Norton & Company). In 1934, Oberon was an established actress back in England, where she was often cast in so-called “exotics”—roles that capitalized on the Indian heritage she was already working hard to obscure.
Is Making Your Own Gefilte Fish Worth It?

1 month ago | eater.com | Rebecca Flint Marx

Growing up in an Ashkenazi Jewish American household in the Midwest during the ’80s and ’90s, my earliest Passover memories are not of the story of Exodus but the reality of gefilte fish. It was matzo that was framed as the food of affliction, but to me that seemed both unfair and inaccurate when gefilte fish was sitting right there on the table, as lumpen, beige, and chilled as a medical specimen. That it came to my home encased in a jar of sepia-toned ectoplasm did it no favors.
How Former Bourdain Assistant Laurie Woolever Wrote a Great New Memoir

2 months ago | eater.com | Rebecca Flint Marx

David Scott Holloway Laurie Woolever’s memoir Care and Feeding is many things: a workplace memoir, an addiction memoir, a chronicle of being young and a little bit lost in New York City, an account of working in close proximity to fame. Woolever is a longtime journalist and cookbook author who also worked as an assistant to Mario Batali and then Anthony Bourdain.

I don’t know about you, but the first two months of 2025 have felt like two years. We live in uncertain and, ahem, interesting times, and as such, small but dependable pleasures have started to assume the role of a life raft. This spring’s roster of new cookbooks is no exception: seeing these titles brings the same hope and joy as a crocus fighting its way out of the hard earth.

Most Hot Chocolate Sucks. Make It at Home Instead.

2 months ago | eater.com | Rebecca Flint Marx

Rebecca Flint Marx I’m not a coffee drinker. Never have been, never plan to be. But what I can say is this: coffee drinkers have it easy. No matter where you go, almost without exception, you are more or less guaranteed to find coffee. The world is made for coffee people, and, to a lesser extent, tea people — I’m not saying you’ll necessarily find something you love, but you will find something, and it will likely be hot, or even more likely too hot.
My First (and Worst) First Date Was at a Kenny Rogers Roasters

Feb 13, 2025 | eater.com | Rebecca Flint Marx

I met Mike — at least I think his name was Mike — at the gym. I remember that he had the pink skin of a piglet, wore wire-rimmed glasses, and asked me if I was married. As a 22-year-old, this was a question I had never been asked, much less in the form of a pick-up line, and in a gym of all places. I said no, I wasn’t, and then, when he asked if I’d like to go out sometime, I said yes, I would. Would I like to go out with Mike? Honestly, I wasn’t convinced.
The Best Place for a Date? How About the Restaurant Bar

Feb 10, 2025 | eater.com | Rebecca Flint Marx

When I was single, one of the very best first dates I ever had took place at a restaurant’s bar. The weather that night was awful — a full-blown nor’easter — and I remember the relief I felt when I stepped inside and locked eyes with my date, who was waiting at the long marble bar and looked, thankfully, like he did in his photos.

Dec 9, 2024 | eater.com | Lille Allen |Kat Thompson |Lesley Suter |Rebecca Flint Marx

All you need for a holiday party is a bunch of dips and desserts working togetherFor the fourth and final course of Eater’s 2024 dinner party series, we’re serving up, what else, the holidays. But, look: We just did Thanksgiving. Many of us, in fact, are likely still in various stages of recovery from it. So instead of celebrating with another big, intricate feast, we decided to scale down the labor in order to scale up the joy.
The Best Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe for Giant, Party-Ready Treats

Dec 9, 2024 | eater.com | Rebecca Flint Marx

Dina Ávila/Eater This is the first recipe in Paola Velez’s cookbook, Bodega Bakes, and it’s easy to see why: soft, chewy, and as thick as their name promises, these cookies are proof of the maxim that sometimes, more than enough is just enough.
