A Piece of Cake

Writing by Emma Richman Photography by Oona Owen & Justin Negard When Katonah resident Agathe Assouline-Lichten was approached by an anonymous company looking for baking kits, she wasn’t sure what to think.

Cracking the Cooking Code

Cracking the Cooking Code

Writing by Oliver Berke Artwork by Erin Nazzaro It’s a kitchen nightmare that has haunted all of us. A canvas of sauces and spices blanketing the floor tiles, smoke billowing out from a crazed assortment of pots and pans on the stovetop, and the fire alarm ringing through your ears. Your hands streak across the cookbook’s pages, eyes scanning each ...

Writing by Leslie Dock Artwork by Zoe Stevensy Tips for a consistent harvest Afew months ago, my brother asked me what farmers do during the winter.

Connecting the World, One Step at A Time

Connecting the World, One Step at A Time

Writing by Robin Goetz To the naked eye, it’s just a table. Distinctly 1950’s era, its enameled top is scuffed and dented, the result of thousands of steamy coffee mugs scraping and resting on its surface. The wooden spindle legs are chipped but still sturdy; they have held up an equal number of conversations, supporting leaning elbows, banging fists, lowered ...
