In our house that also means it's the season of celebratory and indulgent drinks, though we keep it zero-proof for the many members of our family who abstain from alcohol for a variety of reasons. That doesn't diminish our celebrations though! We can decorate, lean into the season, and sip away, all without alcohol!

Flipboard FoodiesStoryboardRecipes from Latin AmericaCurated byFlipboard FoodiesI grew up in Venezuela, where family and food are the centers of everything.

Here’s a taste of the food I grew up with and still cook today. — Janette Speyer

Flipboard FoodiesStoryboardTalking All Things Food by Tastemaker Mark BittmanCurated byFlipboard FoodiesI created The Bittman Project out of a desire to see an outlet focused on all things food: not just recipes (although we have a lot of those!), but agriculture, processing, the environment, public health, labor, racism, inequality, justice, and more.

I aim to do both and hope you enjoy this wide-ranging collection of conversations and musings on what we eat.
