FISH TALES
I practically lived on the beach every
August. Low tide meant epic family soccer games
and towering sand castles, and I can still taste the
sandy peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and smell
the chili dogs wrapped in foil. Every evening as the
sun set over the dunes of Myrtle Beach, South
Carolina, the 17 of usmy immediate family plus
grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins on my
moms sideformed a circle of beach chairs around
a cooler for the adults cocktail hour ritual.
What I remember most is the shing. Every day
my grandfather and I would walk our rods a block
to the beach, bait our hooks, cast out past the sandbar, and wait for the primal thrill of a sh jerking on
the end of the line. We caught schools of pompano
and whiting. Spot and bluesh and the occasional
ounder, too. I relished my job of catching bait and
scaling and lleting the keepers that my grandmother would roast or put into a stew, and I kept a
chart taped on the refrigerator door to log our daily
catch. A good day on the beach meant two dozen
sh. Then one summer about 20 years ago, the sh
simply stopped biting. Even the sand eas and
AS A KID
minnows we used as bait disappeared. Other anglers

blamed the decline on the barges that pumped
sand onto the beach, but whatever the cause, the
experience taught me to value life from the sea.
Now the stakes are much higher, and we cant
guarantee the existence of popular eating sh like
wild bluen tuna and cod. Weve told the oceans
what were willing to eat rather than ask what theyre
willing to provide, Barton Seaver, the director of
Harvards Sustainable Seafood and Health Initiative,
recently told Tim Cebula, our senior food editor.
Barton and Tim, a native New Englander who
spent his childhood summers crabbing on Cape
Cod, tackled the complexities of the seafood
industry together to create our sustainable shopping
and cooking guide (Eat More Fish. The Right
Fish. Heres How.). It starts on page 134. I hope
it inspires and empowers you to try new sh
for your own health and for the health of the oceans.
This month my wife, Ellen, and I will take our
little girls to the beach. Ill throw a few casts into
the Gulf of Mexico and, who knows, maybe catch
a gorgeous mackerel to
grill for dinner. Thats how
Ill teach my own kids
to connect the dots
between what we pull

A WEIGHTY ISSUE
The Right Way to Talk to Your

Kids About Weight (June,
p. 99) was wonderful. Growing
up in the 1970s, my mom took
me to my rst diet support
group at the age of 10. I have
struggled for decades to have a
normal relationship with food.
Now, at 51, I have it. I have never
discussed weight with my
daughters, and it has been the
smartest thing I have ever done.

A smart, delicious riff on

T O D AY S S P E C I A L
Grilled Steak
and Tomato
with Creamy
Tofu Ranch
BY TIM C E B U L A
ipe heirloom tomatoes

in the heart of the
season make Johanna
Ware swoon. There
couldnt be anything I
love more, says the chef of Smallwares, in Portland, Oregon. Theyre
sweet and juicy, and I almost cry
when their season is over.
It doesnt take much to make the
most out of garden-fresh tomatoes:
A little salt and fresh ground pepper
and a drizzle of olive oil is one of the
simplest routes to tomato nirvana.
Serving up slices warmed on the
grill, as Ware does here, intensies
their sweetness and acidity and adds
an alluring touch of smoke to the mix.

What makes this simple grilled dish
truly brilliant, though, is a ranch-style
dressing Ware makes from tofu.
Im from the Midwest, and I have a
real love for ranch dressing. Growing
up, it was always a guilty pleasure of
mine. Pureeing the tofu with fresh
chives, lemon juice, and garlic makes a
protein-packed ranch stand-in that
works wonderfully as a dip on its own.
Here it makes a delectably tangy sauce
for grilled beef and tomatoes. Try
Wares original version at Smallwares
in Portland this month.

Food Hall Nation

As culinary commerce booms, food halls
are popping up like gourmet mushrooms
from coast to coast. More selectively
curated than open-air farmers markets,
these indoor marketplaces house everything
from local butchers to casual eateries.
Unlike the Italy-centric Eataly archetype,
most new halls arent bound by a theme.
Melrose Market in Seattle and St. Roch
Market in New Orleans oer a diverse array
of vendorsyoung-gun chefs as well as
established faces in the food community.
St. Roch co-owner Will Donaldson says
his market is about 13 individuals, all with
something to say. The hall allows them a
space to say it while establishing a more
intimate bond with customers. Thus, the
primary focus of these markets is on sharing
avors and moments. It is a place for
people to come in and spend hours as they
meet friends, push tables together, and
engage in sampling food,
Donaldson says. This is
a shared experience.

The Ultimate Summer Sangria

BY K AT I E BA R RE IR A
ow do you make sangria, a quintessential summertime cooler, even more

summery? Start by switching out red wine for the seasons pink darling, ros.
As for fruit, nothing says summer refreshment like dripping-ripe melons.
Add cooling mint, and top with a splash of owery liqueur. Whether youre poolside,
picnicking, or porch-rocking, this sangria is pitcher-perfect.
Ros is all about

refreshmentlight and
bright, its a great match
for summer fruit.
Preferable to reds for
summer sangria, ros
delivers grape avor
without heavy tannins.
Skip the ice cubes.

Freeze some of
the fruit, and stir in
before serving to
keep your pitcher
of sangria chilled
without diluting
the avor.
Chilled club soda adds

refreshing effervescence
and stretches your sangria
without adding calories. Stir
it in right before serving so
the zz doesnt zzle out.
Adding avors
to a pricey bottle
of ros masks the
nuances youre paying
for. With sangria, look
for one in the $6 to $15
range from Spain
or France.
Build an additional layer

of depth with a avored
liqueur (like St. Germain)
or spirit (like brandy) that
complements the avor
prole of your drink.
Fresh seasonal herbs like

mint, basil, and lavender
add a touch of savory to the
fruity brew. For the prettiest
presentation, swap out the
herbs used to infuse your
sangria (they wilt and discolor
as they sit) for fresh ones.

Q: Can I
make tasty
pickles in less
than a week?
A: Quick pickles
are delicious. And
easy: Combine vinegar, salt,
sugar, water, and aromatics;
boil and pour over veggies,
covering them with a clean
kitchen towel to keep them
submerged. Chill for a few
hours (overnight is even
better), and prestoyoure

GRADE A
lets get cooking!
The key to a successful

quick pickle lies in the ratio
of four main ingredients:
water, acid, sugar, and salt.
I usually lean on these three
basic ratios.
For supersharp, tangy
pickles: 1 cup vinegar and

oranges), chiles, and salt, traditionally accompanies soups,
noodle dishes, and sushi. Its potent hit of acidic, slightly piney
heat is distinct but versatile, matching well with meat, sh,
and veggie dishes. Try mixing 14 teaspoon into stir-fry
sauces, marinades, dressings, or even mayonnaise. Find it at

Irritable Bowel Syndrome with Constipation (IBS-C)
IVE USED LAXATIVES FOR MY

CONSTIPATION AND BELLY PAIN,
BUT I END UP FEELING
ALL KNOTTED UP AGAIN.
Proactively manage your recurring symptoms with LINZESS

Do you keep taking laxatives, but cant get your symptoms to stay
away? You may have more than just occasional constipation. Its time
to talk to your doctor about your belly pain and constipation. Then ask
about LINZESS, a once-daily capsule thats approved to help adults
manage symptoms of IBS with Constipation. LINZESS works differently
from laxatives. It is thought to work in two ways: by helping to calm
pain-sensing nerves*, and by accelerating bowel movements. LINZESS
may relieve your belly pain and let you have more frequent and
complete bowel movements that are easier to pass.
Bottom line, if your IBS-C symptoms keep coming back, ask your
doctor about LINZESS today.
*This was seen in animal studies and the relevance to humans is not known.
Who is LINZESS for?

Prescription LINZESS (linaclotide) is for adults with IBS-C.
It is not known if LINZESS is safe and effective in children.
Before you take LINZESS, tell your doctor:

If you have any other medical conditions.
If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant. It is not
known if LINZESS will harm your unborn baby.
If you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed. It is not known
if LINZESS passes into your breast milk.
About all the medicines you take, including prescription and
non-prescription medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
Side Effects
LINZESS can cause serious side effects, including diarrhea, the
most common side effect, which can sometimes be severe. Diarrhea
often begins within the rst 2 weeks of LINZESS treatment. Stop taking
LINZESS and call your doctor right away if you get severe diarrhea
during treatment with LINZESS.
Other common side effects of LINZESS include gas, stomach-area
(abdominal) pain, swelling, or a feeling of fullness or pressure in your
abdomen (distension). Tell your doctor if you have any side effect that
bothers you or that does not go away. These are not all the possible side
effects of LINZESS. For more information, ask your doctor or pharmacist.
In addition, call your doctor or go to the nearest hospital
emergency room right away if you develop unusual or severe
stomach-area (abdominal) pain, especially if you also have bright
red, bloody stools or black stools that look like tar.
IMPORTANT RISK INFORMATION

Do not give LINZESS to children who are under 6 years
of age. It may harm them.
You should not give LINZESS to children 6 to 17 years
Do not take LINZESS if a doctor has told you that you have a
bowel blockage (intestinal obstruction).
Learn about our money-saving offer at LINZESS.com.
You are encouraged to report negative side effects of prescription

drugs to the FDA. Visit www.FDA.gov/medwatch or call 1-800-FDA-1088.

Speed up your cooking by trimming, rinsing, and chopping beforehand,
not as you go. Chefs call this mise en place, or putting every component
youll need within reach before you start. Read the ingredient list
like the beginning of a recipe: If an item is to be shredded, peeled,
or chopped, do this before proceeding with the rst step. With prep
completed, you can clean up while waiting for food to cook.
Whatever your pleasure, the

Griddler from Cuisinart does
it all! Prepare perfect pancakes,
put some sizzle in your steak,
or serve up a classic grilled
cheese sandwich. Cleanup is
simple because the reversible

into the dishwasher! Cook,
enjoy, and clean up in no time!

lean eating is a phrase that gets

thrown around a lot these days,
one without a specic scientic
or culinary denition. The overall
concepteat food in as close to
its natural state as possiblesounds simple
enough. But how realistic is it?
Clean eating is about transparency:
reading labels and being mindful of your
own personal connection to food by
understanding where the ingredients
come from and what process they went
through to get from the farm to the
table. Its about cooking moreso
that you are in control of what goes
into your body. Its about putting food on
a plate, not eating out of a bagso that
you see what you are eating.
Its the ingredients and additives that
we cant see that are making our food
less wholesome and less clean. If only
markets were lled with goods found in
the perimeter of the grocery store. Instead,
theyre packed with boxes and bags of
prepackaged food, making the decision
to eat clean more dicult than ever.
Most clean eating plans are cluttered with
too many rules. Instead, we oer the Cooking
Light guide to clean. Follow our simple tenets,
and youll naturally start to eat cleaner every day.

Build a Cleaner Plate

Our guide to better, healthier, happier eating
in just five simple steps
BY S IDNEY FRY, MS , RD
1 COOK MORE
The act of cooking and following a recipe

empowers you to control exactly what
goes into your body. Thats where we come in. Cooking
Light recipes are designed for cooks of all skill levels
and ages to make cooking at home more practical.
Cooking allows you to cut back on added salt and
sugarand to remove preservatives, articial avors
and colors, and trans fats from your plate. It can be
quick and easy, too; about 70% of the recipes in each
issue take less than 40 minutes from start to nish.
2 BALANCE YOUR PLATE
Make half your plate fruits and

veggies. Why? To guarantee that most
of your meal is made from whole foods. Shop farmers
markets, local produce stands, oreven bettergrow
your own. Not only is local food in season, but its also
more avorful, more nutritious, and less likely to be
modied or grown with pesticides.
Make whole grains your default, and rened
the exception. Whole grains contain more healthy
oils, ber, and protein than rened grains.
Go lean and clean with protein. The USDA
recommends just 5 to 6 ounces of meat per day for
most men and women. (The average American
consumes nearly double that, about 12 ounces.) At
Cooking Light, we limit our portionspork and red meat
to 3 ounces, chicken to 4.5 ouncesand encourage
more seafood and plant-based proteins. Look for meat
that is grass-fed, raised without antibiotics or hormones,
and preferably sold without an ingredient list. For links
to the recipes on this plate, visit cookinglight.com/clean.
3 LOOK AT THE INGREDIENT LIST
The shorter the list, the better. Aim for

fewer than 10 ingredients, and focus on
the rst few items listed. Ingredients are listed in
order of weight, meaning that the product is made
predominantly from the ingredient that is listed rst.
Fill your pantry with supermarket products such as
grains and spices from bulk bins, fresh fruits and
vegetables, and organically raised meatall foods
that dont carry a label.
SIT, SAVOR,
SHARE, SLOW DOWN
Too often we eat mindlessly

everywhere but the table,
valuing volume of food over
quality of ingredients and
even taste. Spread the
love of cleaner eating by
sharing with others.
heres a new clean plate club emerging, and its not about nishing a portion of food. Its about
making the quality and composition of that portion betteran action that starts with the
ingredients. Knowing what is in the food you are eating, the methods and preparations used
to get it there, and where it came from is the foundation of a cleaner lifestyle. Use these ve
tenets for guidance on how to ll your plate, and start cleaning up your diet one meal at a time.
WHERE YOUR
4 KNOW
FOOD COMES FROM
Can you trace the produce you eat to the farm it
came from? The typical American meal contains
ingredients from ve foreign countries, with produce
traveling an average of 1,500 miles before it gets to
your plate. Instead, buy food that didnt have to travel
more than a few hours to get into your kitchen. Is your
food shelf-stable? These products may last longer, but
theyre almost always lled with articial preservatives.
Buy produce thats in season, and shop often.
5 DRINK MORE WATER
About 43% of adults drink less than

4 cups of water a day, according to a
2007 report by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). Beverages deliver more sugar,
caffeine, articial sweeteners, and alcohol to the
system than any other food source. By drinking more
water, youll naturally consume less of all of these.
Bonus: People who drink more water are the same
folks who eat a cup or more of fruits and vegetables a
day, exercise more, eat less fast food, and are more
likely to shop at farmers markets, according to the
CDC report. Think about it: 1 medium skinny latte, a
coconut water, and 2 glasses of wine may sound
healthy but in the end add 420 calories (thats a meal)
to your day, plus a dose of caffeine and alcohol.
What Is a Processed Food?

When food undergoes a deliberate
change before it is made available
for us to eat, it is dened as being
processed. These foods come packaged in boxes or bags and contain
more than one item on the ingredient list. Some are actually very
healthy, like precooked whole
grains, Greek yogurt, nut butters,
organic stock, frozen fruits and

veggies, and unsalted canned beans.
Heres our test: Look at the
ingredient list, and ask yourself if
its something you could make at
home. If it can only be made in a lab
(like high-fructose corn syrup,
hydrogenated fats, or aspartame),
then consider it processed.

Leaner, Cleaner Veggie Burgers

Real ingredients, less salt, bigger flavor,
and better texture
BY S IDNEY FRY, MS , RD
Clean Veggie
Burgers
Recipe p. 74
OUR VEGGIE
BURGER
saves 100mg sodium,

uses real pantry ingredients,
and contains 50% more
ber than frozen veggie
burgers. Its also 212
times bigger!
eggie burgers are, for

many, the go-to low-fat
option for dinner in a
snap. The frozen-food
aisle is packed with different varieties made from chickpeas,
black beans, soy, and quinoa. But look
beyond the main ingredient, and youll
nd that most are highly processed,
loaded with sodium, and made with a
laundry list of ingredients (one popular
brand tallied 38) that go well beyond
veggies, including things like isolated
proteins. Theyre usually quite small,
tooabout 2.5 ouncesleaving you
hungry again in a few hours. Our
mission? Use whole ingredients to

create a simple, tasty homemade
veggie burger with staying power.
The problem with most homemade
veggie burgers is texture. When pureed
and packed into a patty, vegetables and
beans get mushy. Nuts may add crunch,
and frying in oil creates a crisp outer
crust, but both of these are caloriedense and tally up to a 400-pluscalorie patty before the bun and toppers.
We start with a can of beans, roasting half in the oven until crunchy and
blending the remaining half into a
robust but low-cal mixture of mushrooms and herbs. The roasted beans
are left whole for added texture. Wholegrain quinoa goes in two ways: some
cooked to bind the veggies and beans,
and the rest left raw to add more
crunch. A lightly oiled cast-iron skillet
creates the perfect outer sear for a
hearty 200-calorie patty thats about
21 2 times the size of a frozen burger.
Instead of condiments, we top ours
with a creamy avocado-tomatillo
spread and crisp red onion. Complete
with a toasted whole-grain bun, our
burger is lean, cleaner than frozen,
and addictively delicious, with whole
ingredients and half the calories of
traditional homemade.

CLEAN VEGGIE BURGERS
Store-bought buns and bread nearly always

contain articial preservatives to help maintain
freshness. Instead, buy whole-grain buns from
your local bakery, where ingredients are kept
clean and simple. Tightly wrap extra buns, and
freeze (do not refrigeratethis will cause bread
to stale faster) for up to 3 months.

2. Spread half of beans in a single
layer on a foil-lined baking sheet.

Bake at 350 for 20 minutes. Place
toasted beans in a large bowl.
3. Heat a small saucepan over medium
heat. Add 1 teaspoon oil to pan; swirl

or until tender. Add 3 tablespoons
quinoa; cook 2 minutes or until
toasted, stirring frequently. Add 6
tablespoons water; bring to a boil.
Cover, reduce heat, and simmer 10
minutes or until liquid is absorbed.
4. Combine remaining 2 tablespoons
uncooked quinoa, mushrooms, garlic,
and remaining (untoasted) beans in
a food processor; pulse until coarsely
chopped. Add the cooked quinoa

mixture, cilantro, serrano, cumin,
1
2 teaspoon salt, chile powder, and
egg; pulse until combined. Add
mixture to toasted beans; stir well to
combine. Divide the mixture into
4 equal portions; shape each portion

5. Heat a large cast-iron skillet
over medium heat. Add remaining
1 tablespoon oil to pan; swirl to coat.

turning once.
6. Combine chopped avocado,
lime juice, tomatillo, and remaining
1
8 teaspoon salt in a small bowl;
mash to desired consistency.
7. Place 1 patty on bottom half
of each bun. Top each patty with
1 tomato slice, 1 onion slice, and
about 2 tablespoons avocado mixture.
Top with top halves of buns.

KEYS TO KEEP IT LEAN AND CLEAN
BIND THE PATTY

Quinoa, a whole
grain, has double the
ber and protein of
breadcrumbs. Some gets
cooked until uffy, acting
as a ller and binder,
while the rest is left
uncooked for added
texture and crunch.
ROAST HALF
THE BEANS
Roasting in the oven
dries the beans out a bit;
folding them in whole adds
texture and helps keep
the inside of the patty from
getting mushy. Unsalted
beans save up to 470mg
sodium per serving.
TOP WITH GUAC

We skip the usual
condiments and top
our patty with a creamy
avocado-tomatillo mixture.
These fresh ingredients
save 51 calories and
225mg sodium per
burger over ketchup,
mayo, and mustard.

EAT HEALTHY
Plan and strategize to
avoid overeating.
I L L U S T R AT I O N : B E E J O H N S O N
BY K IMB E R LY H O LL A ND
when youre traveling
t home, your food

routine may be simple,
predictable even. But
hop on a plane, take a
drive in a car, or catch a train to a
new destination, and all bets are
o. Eating healthy when youre
out of your comfort zone can be
tricky, if not downright dicult.
When we travel, our environment changes, says diabetes
educator Megrette Fletcher, RD,
cofounder of The Center for
Mindful Eating. Your habits
change. The travel environment is
very stimulating. That can make
us feel less vigilant.
Feelings of insecurity and fear
mingle with hunger and anxiety.
Its a dynamic environment and
one that can lead directly to food
overreactions. Routines get
broken as well as the control you
may have over what you eat or
when you eat it, says Susan
Mitchell, PhD, RDN, cohost of
the biweekly podcast Breaking
Down Nutrition on foodt
fabulous.com. Our best intentions go out the window.
But good news: It is possible
for you to eatand even splurge
a littlewhile youre traveling for
business or pleasure, without
going overboard. It just requires a
little extra planning, strategizing,
and willpower. Heres how.
The
STRATEGY
HABIT
Even though youre traveling and

cant take it with you, you dont have to eat
everything if youre full. You can stop.
4 Steps for
Smarter
Choices
When going on vacation,

we often think, Anything
goes! which equals, Im
eating whatever I want
and drinking more than
usual, says Upton.
Alcohol is the triple threat
when youre traveling, she
says. It is high in calories,
it stimulates your appetite,
and it reduces your
inhibitions toward junk
food. Foods that youd
normally say are off-limits
are suddenly just ne after
a few drinks.
SPLURGE WISELY
You want to enjoy that

superdelicious gelato you
cant nd at home.
THE FIX Cut back on
calories a bit before you go.
I diet two days for every day
Im going to be on vacation,
says Julie Upton, RD, author
of The Real Skinny. So if Im
going away for 10 days, I eat
really healthfully and cut
back for 20 days before Im
leaving to account for the
additional calories Ill be
eating on vacation.
And when youre full, stop.
Overlling yourself wont
make the food memory
more potent. Food is part of
the enjoyment, Fletcher
says. Even though youre
traveling and cant take it
with you, you dont have to
eat everything if youre full.
You can stop.
PLAN YOUR MEALS
Hotel rooms are often

ill-equipped for full meal service,
so you dine out at every meal.
That can really add up on your
waistline, Upton says.
THE FIX Eat out only once a day.

If youre driving, head for a
grocery store that has its own
salad bar rather than a fast-food
joint. Bring foods with you, or do a
quick grocery store run when you
get to your destination. Rent or
stay in homes or hotels that have
kitchenettes. This will help you
eat a good breakfast and control
snack and lunch portions.
DISTRACT YOURSELF
Your ight is delayed three

hours for maintenance.
You could clean out 400
emails. Instead, you distract
yourself with a 600-calorie
cheeseburger and fries.
THE FIX If your habit is to go
eat food, you may need to
think about something else
to ll that time, says Fletcher.
One idea: Go for a walk.
Larger airports are a lot like
cities with unique transit
systems and fun stores.
PACK SMART
Keeping these foods on hand can keep your appetite and your calorie count in check. Smart
choices can mean the difference between prime health and additional pounds, Mitchell says.
1 High-ber fruits. Mitchell is a fan of pecanstuffed Medjool dates. Upton prefers individually
wrapped dried plums. Theyre high ber, and
four equal a fruit serving, Upton says.
2 DIY trail mix. Control the ingredients by making
it at home. I make my trail mix with peanut butter
lled pretzels, a variety of nuts, dried fruit, and
good-quality dark chocolate, Mitchell says.
AVOID THE
TRIPLE THREAT
3 Fresh fruit. I always have fresh fruit that

wont smash. This time of year, that would mean
mangoes, Upton says. The fruit is high in ber
and lling, too. And as long as youre not ying,
you just need to keep a knife handy to enjoy it.
4 Flavored roasted chickpeas. Theyre high
in protein and ber, plus theyre portable and
are airport-security friendly, Mitchell says.
THE FIX For starters,

stick with lower-calorie
alcoholic beverages,
Upton says. Good picks:
ultralight beers and
distilled spirits mixed
with calorie-free seltzer
or other calorie-free
beverages. Avoid many
of the popular summer
signature blended drinks,
as they are among the
highest-calorie alcoholic
beverages and generally
have a lot of added
sugars, Upton adds.

Living Proof No Frizz

Humidity Shield ($22, livingproof.com) Im from the
South, where big hair is a supposed plus, but its not my
thing. And its especially hard to tame this time of year.
Thats why I am in love with this spray, which both prevents
frizz from forming and tames it throughout the day.
This rosewater mist is so

gentle, I just love it. I can use
it right around my eyes.

enopausal weight
gain is like a chubby
bogeyman lurking
in the dark closet of
womens lives. On
top of the hormonal free-for-all of
hot ashes and night sweats, most
womenthin, healthy weight, and
overweight alikecan expect to gain
an average of 10 to 15 pounds before,
during, and after menopause.
But those climbing scale numbers
may not be the fault of menopause.
Its not 100% clear whether womens
midlife weight gain is related to the
hormonal changes of menopause or
whether its related to the aging process itself, says Bette Caan, DrPH, a
senior research scientist with Kaiser
Permanente. In fact, research shows
that both men and women are likely
to put on pounds in midlife. For both
genders, that creeping weight gain is
associated with a loss in muscle mass,
particularly bad news because less
muscle means a slower metabolism.
Fortunately, whether the weight

gain is the result of menopause or
midlife, its not dark magic. Its
only pounds, and pounds can be
shed. Caan recalls a study of
menopausal women that she
worked on decades ago: We
werent trying to help them
lose weight. Our focus was on
decreasing fat in the diet to try
to decrease breast cancer risk. The
diet included increased fruits and vegetables and whole grains, but this was
the 90s, she notes, and our big focus
was cutting fat, so we didnt really
pay attention to what we were substituting for the fat, and our diet was
very high in rened carbohydrates
it might have included fat-free cookies
and pudding with whipped topping.
Its not a diet wed pick today. But
even on this less than ideal regimen,
the women on the diet were three
times more likely to drop weight
than control subjects.
And they lost that weight without
the added boost of exercise. Midlife
pounds can be slightly more stubborn
(thanks, slowed metabolism), so it may
take the one-two punch of healthy diet
plus exercise to budge them. Bonus:
While its burning calories, exercise also
builds muscle and strengthens bones.
Finally, Caan notes that overweight
women report more hot ashes and
night sweats than their leaner peers.
More research needs to be done
before anyone can denitively say that
weight loss is an eective treatment
for hot ashes, but theres a growing
body of evidence that suggests that
losing weight may decrease menopausal symptoms.

Consider bok choy; napa cabbage;

determine when to sow, count back the

days from your anticipated rst day of

kalbi, grilled ankenstyle short ribs, which are
long and thin and cut across
the bone. But its unlikely
that youve had grilled
English-cut short ribs (the
type you typically braise).
A straight-ahead dry rub
with a touch of cornstarch
traps in juices just enough
to allow quick formation of
a crust, so the ribs can spend
a longer-than-usual time
on the grill without added
moisture. These slow-grilled
short ribs are an absolute
revelation: smoky, intensely
beefy, steaklike yet tender,
and begging to be sliced
thinly, la Texas brisket.

Keiths Recipe Breakdown

SHORT RIBS WITH CUCUMBER AND ORANGE SALAD
Hands-on: 30 min. Total: 4 hr.
Short ribs are typically braised, but they also hold up beautifully over low heat on the grillthe technique is a real
game-changer. So, too, is the lightly charred orange, peel and all: fragrant, fruity, and removed of most of its bitterness.

USE ONE
INGREDIENT
SEVERAL
WAYS
I begin this process
by thinking about how an
ingredient can anchor a dish
in more than one preparation.
For example, you could
saut asparagus, toss it with
pasta, and top the dish with
boiled asparagus peelings
that resemble a kind of faux
fettuccine. Here I have
exploited scallions, which are
delicious both cooked and
raw: Their natural sugars
caramelize when sauted or
stir-fried, a little goes a long
way when pureed raw into a
sauce, and slivers bring fresh
oniony crunch as a garnish.
that delivers delicious, creative,

healthy food with as little fuss as possible. It requires absolutely no compromises and instead
helps you discover a new mindfulness about the quest for great ingredients, interesting avor
combinations, and streamlined, often new techniques. All of the recipes here use only ve
ingredients (not counting salt, pepper, and cooking oil), and they all look and taste far more
complex than the simple sum of their parts. Each is nished and garnished with intention, and there is a wow factor with them all. These are dishes that are special enough
for company and comforting enough for the family. And the recipes have been
created with balance in minda give and take between the time each takes
to prepare and the amount of eort in its cooking. Here are ve
principles that underpin the notion of beautifully simple,
very delicious ve-ingredient cooking.

Let the oven magically

transform raw ingredients
into dishes with deep avors
and arresting textures
while you tend to other
things. Long, slow cooking
provides steady moisture
at a low temperature,
which softens protein and
allows avors to develop
differently than a ash in a
hot pan. Youll become a
believer when you taste this
chicken dish: Slow cooking
results in exceedingly
tender esh, and the skin
gets crisped under the
broiler right before serving.

KEEP
IT ALL
IN ONE
PAN
Its hard to imagine that an upscale dish with multiple components

can be prepared in one pan. The wonderful steak recipe here uses the
technique of step cookingrst stir-frying vegetables in a pan, and then
separately cooking the protein in the same pan, accentuating all the
accumulating avors. Since the pan is already hot, the steak cooks
in a jiffy. There is only one pan to clean, and the two-step dance gives
the cook a real sense of ease and simplicity.

USE AN
OUTLIER
INGREDIENT
Adding one unexpected
ingredient to a simple dish
can enhance the avor
exponentially. When working
with limited time and only a
handful of ingredients, the goal
is to make each one meaningful and resonant. Powerhouse
ingredientswasabi peas,
zaatar, sh sauce, truffle oil,
or Calabrian chilesare
wonderful discovery foods
that add layers of complexity
to more familiar dishes. This
outlier principle will prompt
you to have fun seeking out
new sources of big avor.

BLAST
IT
FAST
This might be my favorite principle. Take a few compatible ingredients,

spread them on a pan, and time them so they blast away in a superhot oven to
optimal avor. I use this technique to ash-roast let mignon, caramelize vegetables,
oven-grill shrimp, and steam clams. Dinner comes together in a ash with
unexpectedly delicious results. High-heat oven cooking leaves you time, and space,
for an extra ourish atop the stove, like making a sauce. In the recipe here, a trio
of shrimp, shiitakes, and Broccolini soars under a glaze of foaming chive butter
sauce that you make in just a couple of minutes. Its dramatic and resembles
something youd order in an upscale restaurant.

the waters are murky at best. Home cooks want to make good choices,
but its hard to navigate the seafood counter when youre awash with
confusing and sometimes conicting information. With the help of
seafood sustainability guru Barton Seaver, we serve up our n-to-fork
guide to buying, cooking, and enjoying sh responsiblyright now.
Story by TIM CEBULA Recipes by BARTON SEAVER

through most of 2015 and banned

recreational cod shing outright.
The New England cod crisis is local
(and nothing new), one story among
many about the plight of threatened
sh stocks worldwide. For centuries,
weve feasted on a slight fraction of
the tens of thousands of sh species
swimming in the seas. Weve told the
oceans what were willing to eat rather
than ask what theyre willing to provide, Seaver says. We demanded New
England cod, bluen tuna, snapper,
and grouper, and right down every link
of the commercial food chain, shermen, wholesalers, chefs, and retailers
complied. So sustainabilitysh
caught or farmed with minimal harm
to the ocean, responsibly managed for
us to enjoy for generationssuers.
For home cooks, sh is an infrequent
investment, often pricey, and Seaver
understands the reluctance to shell out
for something dierent. Youre going
to go with what you know.
Indeed, shermen chase what pays.
People know just a fewsalmon,
swordsh, bass, says Wayne Samiere,
CEO of Hawaii-based Honolulu
Fish Company and a former marine
biologist. There are millions and
millions of pounds of great eating sh
out there. We dont harvest them

because no one has asked us to.
Seaver says itll take courage from
retailers and chefstastemakers with
the power to create consumer cravings
for lesser-known yet sustainable species
like dogsh and Acadian redsh (often
called trash sh because shermen
cant nd a market for them). They
may not become regular sh-counter
fare for many years, he says. Still,
change is under way.
Consider herringa smaller sh
thats sweet, aromatic, and richly
avored, like sardines. For years it was
mostly sold canned, pickled, smoked,
Seaver casts
from Freeport
Town Wharf.
Weve told
the oceans
what were
willing to eat
rather than
ask what
theyre willing
to provide.
or slathered with sour cream in a
deli case. New England shermen
relegated reeking, sun-baked barrels
of herring to lobster bait.
We started getting calls from chefs
for fresh herring in 2012, says Nick
Branchina, marketing director for Browne Trading
Company in Portland,
Maine, a specialty seafood
retailer and wholesaler for
the likes of Manhattans
legendary seafood restaurant Le Bernardin. When
we rst tried to buy it from
the shermen, we were
laughed o the dock.
But progressive chefs
knew fresh-cooked herring
was delicious, diners agreed, and retailers now see growing demand for the
sh, which shing boats net sustainably
in the Northwest Atlantic. Whats
more, shermen can sell pristine herring for six times more as a gourmet
ingredient than lobster chum. We
have to sustain shermen as much as
sh, Seaver says.
Samiere sees similarities with
monchong (aka pomfret), a Pacic
bycatch species he calls massively

abundant. Bycatch is accidental by
denition: It snags in the nets and lines
of commercial boats targeting other
species. Until recently, shermen just
threw the dead bycatch overboard. Now
they can nd paying markets for it, and
if the particular bycatch population is
healthy, thats a small win for shermen,
sustainability, and diners.
Chefs and distributors
like Samiere are leading the
way. Some chefs are going
beyond promoting; theyre
policing. New concerns
about Atlantic wild striped
bass populations led 10 bigname American chefs to
launch the #SaveOurStripers
campaign in May, reducing
demand and boosting
awareness by taking stripers
o their menus.
Now its time for consumers to take
action. Heres how to make a dierence
as a home cook: Check the latest intel
from reliable seafood advocacy groups
(see Go with the Current, right), ask
smart questions at the sh counter,
and be adventurous. As shermen are
charged with responsible harvesting,
Seaver says, were responsible to try
something new and to use our creativity
to sustain oceans and shermen.

COOK LIKE: ounder, Pacic cod,
FARMED, U.S.
COOK LIKE: red snapper, arctic char
halibut, haddock
Medium-rm, white, aky meat with
slightly higher fat content and more
avor than cod. Roast, broil, or saut. Bake
llets with herbed-breadcrumb topping.
Mild, lightly sweet avor, delicate

white or pink esh. Cook skin-on to keep
the meat in one piece. Highly versatile:
Broil, roast, grill, smoke. Sauted trout with
lemon, brown butter, and capers is classic.

FARMED, U.S.
COOK LIKE: halibut, tilapia, monksh
WILD-CAUGHT, U.S. PACIFIC

COOK LIKE: cod, red snapper
Medium-rm, aky white sh.

Flakes easily as it cooks, so its not the
best for grilling, but its delicate, lightly
nutty avor comes through clearly when
steamed. Saut or roast; then serve aked
in tacos, or quick-cure in citrusy ceviches.
Sweet and mild white meat with

rm, meaty texture that holds up well
to bold seasonings and high-heat
preparations like roasting, broiling,
grilling, and pan-frying. Great in tacos and
po boys with a spicy rmoulade dressing.
Mild-avored, pinkish esh that turns aky

and white when cooked, with enough
healthy fat to keep it moist. Roast, broil,
grill, or saut. Pair it with Pacic Rim
avorings: pineapple or mango salsa, red
or green curry sauce, ginger-soy glaze.

Most people only know
albacore in its canned

well with fruity olive oil.
He likes to poach albacore
llets in avorful liquid to
keep them succulent.

WILD-CAUGHT,
PUGET SOUND, WA
COOK LIKE: trout,
arctic char, ounder

This boasts the leanest,
lightest avor of all wild
salmon varieties. Its more
akin to trout, Seaver says,
with a small, medium-sweet
ake that sets a great stage
for many avorings. Because
its lower in fat, its best
cooked low and slowwe
grill-roast over indirect heat.

Consider Patagonian/Antarctic toothsh, a cod icesh

harm sustainability. After Southwest Pacic slimehead
changed to orange roughy, we ate it onto the Monterey

Wild-catch techniques dont necessarily indicate sustainability
it varies, depending on the kind of sh and where its caught.
Visit seafoodwatch.org to see what methods are best for your
sh, and then ask your retailer for details before you buy.
BUYING, STORING
& COOKING
FRESH FISH 101
AT THE MARKET
Ask Questions: Is the
sh farmed or wild?
Wheres it from: ocean,
country, region, locality?
If wild, how was it caught?
(See Fishing Methods
Matter, below.)
First Glance: Look for
uniformly colored, shiny
esh. Reddish-brown
bruises indicate mishandling. For whole sh, look
for clear, bulging eyes,
bright red gills, and moist,
at tails.
Off the Rocks: Avoid
skinless llets stored
directly on iceice and
water damage sh esh.
Press Test: Fresh sh feels
rm and springy. Press
lightlyif a dent stays,
the sh is old, previously
frozen, or both. Skin should
be moist, not slimy.
The Nose Knows: Fresh
shand a good seafood
marketsmell faintly and
pleasantly like the ocean.
If its shy, its off.
Ice It: Have the shmonger
put your watertightwrapped purchase in a
bag of crushed ice.
AT HOME
Keep It Cold: Store in
the coldest part of your
fridge, usually the bottom
shelf toward the back.
Tight Seal: To store longer

than a couple of hours, wrap
llets tightly in a double
layer of plastic wrap or a
zip-top plastic bag, place
in a larger container, and
cover with ice. Drain and
add ice as needed. Still, try
to cook as soon as possible
after purchasingits not
getting any fresher.
Store as They Swim:
Surround whole sh with
ice in a deep container in
the same position as they
swimdorsal ns upright
to avoid esh damage and
let cavity uids drain.
AT THE STOVE
Pat Dry: Gently dab
with paper towels before
cooking. Surface moisture
hinders browning and
crisp skin and can make
sh stick in the pan.
Season: Add salt immediately before or during
cooking so crystals dont
have time to remoisten
surface esh.
Test Doneness: Slide a
metal skewer or paring
knife into the side of the
thickest part of the llet: If it
slips in without resistance,
its ready. Or, press the
thick part lightly with your
nger. Its done if it gives
and doesnt spring right
back. Dont wait too long
to checksh often cooks
faster than you think.
Longline: Fishing line with baited hooks that

can run 50 miles. Shallow lines can hook birds
or endangered species.
Purse Seine: Net walls that surround sh

schools, then pull closed like a purse. Can also
enclose bycatch.
Trolling: A hook-and-line approach. Baited

lines move behind or alongside the boat, which
helps avoid bycatch.
Jigging: A type of hand-catch. Monterey Bay

Aquariums Seafood Watch says the speciestargeted method reduces bycatch.
Bottom Trawl: Fish net dragged along the

ocean oor. Can sometimes harm seabed
habitat and snare bycatch.
Dragging/Dredging: Metal baskets scrape

the seaoor for shellsh. Often disturbs habitats
and gathers bottom-feeding bycatch.

SCORING
WHOLE FISH
Making incisions through the skin
and esh (called scoring) takes
the guesswork out of cooking whole sh.
Choose the right sh. Round sh
which have an eye on each side of the head,
such as bass, snapper, and troutare ideal.
Make deep cuts. Use a chefs knife to
cut through the esh at a 45-degree angle,
down to the bone. Score 1 12 inches apart
between the pectoral n and tail.
Fill with avor. Deep, angled pockets
provide a wide area to stuff herbs and
thoroughly season the esh and the skin.
Cook to perfection. Scoring deep
cuts lets heat circulate around the esh
for quick, even cooking. Check doneness
inside the cut, at the thickest part of the
sh. The esh should be rm and opaque
and separate easily from the bone.
Farmed-raised
striped bass is a
sustainable option.
To learn more
about smart sh
choices, turn to
page 134.
WHOLE GRILLED FISH

Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Score
1 (2-pound) whole striped bass, gutted,
scaled, and trimmed, on both sides; rub
evenly with 112 tablespoons olive oil.
Sprinkle skin and scored esh with 12
teaspoon kosher salt and 14 teaspoon
black pepper. Place 4 sprigs each of
thyme, rosemary, and (if desired) fresh
lavender into cavity. Tuck 3 lemon slices,
1 strip lemon rind, and 1 sprig of each
herb into each scored slit. Grill 7 minutes
on each side or until desired degree of
doneness. (Or place sh on a baking pan,
and roast at 425 for about 25 minutes.)

HOW TO
WRAP
SUMMER ROLLS
Rice paper wrappers are

thin, translucent dried sheets
typically made from rice
our and tapioca starch. They
start out stiff and brittle, but
a quick soak reveals their
delightfully supple nature.
Katie Barreira
1. Soften rice paper

wrapper in warm water
just until pliable.
2. Place lling, showcase

ingredient rst, about
a third from top of
wrapper. Fold top end
over lling; fold in sides.
3. Roll up tightly,
taking care not to tear
the wrapper, to keep
ingredients in place.

Roasting Peppers
Cut down on dishes and mess when roasting and peeling peppers. We let a sheet of foil
do all the work, as a pan liner, steaming vessel, and catchall for peels and seeds.
1. Line a baking sheet with foil. 2. Broil peppers about 4 inches from the ame to
allow them to soften as the skins char. 3. Gather up foil to wrap loosely around peppers,
and seal the edges to steam. 4. Working on the foil, peel and seed peppers. Transfer
peppers to a clean plate, and discard foil, peel, and seeds.
