If it seems as though you never have enough money to consistently save some of it for emergencies—consistent, regular deposits out of every paycheck that go straight into a savings account—perhaps it’s time to consider that you’re handing over your savings to restaurants, drive-thrus, diners, and coffee shops. Think about it. No matter your lifestyle,…

Food: It is a central part of our lives. It is surprising how relatively little fantasy and science fiction centers upon food. F&SF explores the human condition, extrapolating the present into alternate realities. Why not explore food? “Eat, Drink, and Be Wary: Satisfying Stories with a Delicious Twist,” edited by Lisa Mangum, takes on that…
Tips for Starting Your First Organic Vegetable Garden
The basics for success in any garden are sun, soil, and water. Most vegetables and fruit thrive with 6-8 hours of direct sun each day. Since sunlight is required for photosynthesis—the way plants make food–make sure the plants are exposed to as much as possible. Soil that drains quickly and is nutrient rich is critical,…
Chile Peppers and Cheese Make a Thrilling Pair
Hot pepper and cheese bring out the best in each other. Every bite is a mouthful of drama. The impending heat sets the stage with a pungency you can smell before you bite. Then comes the pain. When all seems lost, the cheese swoops in with its creaminess, neutralizing the menace. And just when you…

The Perfect Fish Cakes Have Way More Fish Than Cake
In my eternal search for the perfect fish cake, I find the best way to get the results I crave is to create my own recipe that has all the right elements (in my opinion). My ideal cake is packed with fish, has little filler, and isn’t mushy. It should be crispy yet succulent, salty…
What’s in a Name? When It Comes to Wine, a Lot
When you buy a French Chablis, it will be made only from Chardonnay grapes grown in a small district in France, because that’s required under French law. Likewise, when you buy a Sancerre, it can only be a sauvignon blanc from the eastern Loire Valley. A Beaujolais can only be made from the Gamay Noir à…
The Hunter’s Reward: Tales—and a Tasty Salad—From a Wintertime Elk Hunt
Wild game is the tastiest, cleanest, and most ecologically justifiable meat on the planet. But the ultimate reward of hunting is neither the kill nor the thrill of the chase, but how you come out the other side—regardless of whether or not you bring meat. It requires competency on many levels, including navigation, shooting, wildlife…
Homemade Chocolate-Covered Cherries Bring the Candy Shop to Your Kitchen
Growing up in suburbia meant that mall culture was a huge part of my life. I spent my childhood walking up and down the mall, stopping at my favorite shops along the way: the bookstore, Charlotte Russe, Orange Julius, and, most notably, See’s Candies. The chocolatey scent always spilled out of the store and permeated…

Every food-loving New Orleans resident has a fond memory about dining at Commander’s Palace, a landmark since 1893 and located in the tree-lined Garden District.
