Name That Dish!
Yesterday I asked you to guess whether a number of dishes were named after people. Legend has it that the English specialty shown below was named after someone famous. Can you guess what it is?
Name That Dish!
If you enjoy preparing snapper for dinner, you could also prepare it in the dish you see below. What's it called?
Name That Dish!
On a recent excursion to offbeat Houston restaurant Feast, I enjoyed a number of traditional British dishes — from Welsh rarebit to bubble and squeak.
Pictured below is a dessert that's also a quintessential part of classic English cuisine. Are you familiar with this unusually named pudding?
A Colorful Midday Meal at Feast
On a recent trip to Texas, Reef wasn't the only provocative meal that I had. I also ate an unorthodox lunch at Feast, a restaurant that was opened by three British ex-pats, James Silk, Meagan Silk, and Richard Knight, in Houston last year. The eatery, which has earned accolades from the New York Times as well as a James Beard Best New Restaurant nomination, focuses on adventurous and gourmet nose-to-tail dining.

Georgia Considers English-Only Driver's Test — Why?
Georgia lawmakers may soon make trying to get a driver's license an even bigger headache for some residents. The state legislature is considering a bill that would require potential drivers to take the written test in English and without a translator. It seems like a silly idea to me.
Delve Into This Sticky Toffee Pudding
On Tuesday, I revealed what Barack Obama would be eating for his last supper before the big day. Many of you were impressed by the elegant-sounding menu — but in particular, you were dreaming of the dessert, a warm sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream.
Our stars must be aligned: for my favorite uncle's birthday last weekend, I made this dream of a cake from a recipe in Sheila Lukins's stellar new book, Ten.
Coveted Crib: Mod English Rose
This seven-bedroom, four-bath Georgian home in the UK is the former home of a clergyman. It features a hall, chapel, dining room, formal sitting room, kitchen, playroom, and large walled garden, and can be used for photo shoots. I adore how its owners have livened up traditional British décor, heavy on the English roses, with bold splashes of color and an interesting mix of contemporary furniture.
Despite Chicness, Italy Might Say Arrivederci to English Words
Before it was the national language, Italian was just the regional dialect of Tuscany. But, since it went on to become the official language in the 1800s, Italy is ready to protect it from an English invasion. The influential Dante Alighieri Society, similar to France's Académie française, wants to erase words like "le weekend, "cool" and "OK" from conversational and written Italian.
LPGA Decides to Ditch Ban on Non-English Speaking Golfers
The triumph of non-native English speakers, who won three LPGA majors this year, indicates that speaking English is not a required skill on the golf course. Even so, the international women's pro-golf association announced a policy recently that would suspend players who do not speak English. After much outrage, the plan has been rejected.
