ON A TEMPERATE SATURDAY NIGHT in London, I followed the host down the stairs to the packed communal table at Kricket's Soho location, one of three in the city (kricket.co.uk), to meet a friend. A playlist of Bollywood bangers and certified hits from the early aughts bounced around the restaurant, opened in 2015 by Will Bowlby and Rik Campbell, as the plates started to touch down at the table: super craggy and crunchy Keralan fried chicken topped with perfect circles of pickled radish and crispy curry leaves, a sweet-and-salty kulcha stuffed with dates and pistachios that easily could have passed for a more glutenous baklava, a comforting khichdi made with hunks of smoked haddock and a burst of corn kernels, and a thick slab of paneer swimming in a pool of creamy, tomato-spiked malai sauce. The robust menu drew inspiration from all over India: The fried chicken was from the south, the paneer from the north; the khichdi blended the flavors of several states. Other dishes found their origins in the coastal state of Goa or the street-food traditions of Mumbai.

The Gilda Age - How to perfect the world's best bar snack at home
In the late 1940s, Rita Hayworth turned heads in Hollywood with her sultry, sharp-tongued, titular role in the movie Gilda. Hayworth's character also made a lasting impression further afield in Spain, at Casa Vallés bar in Donostia-San Sebastián, inspiring the creation of a pintxo-a tiny, toothpick-speared snack-that still bears her character's name today. The new pintxo was so popular that it was quickly adopted by other spots throughout the city. It is now Basque country's most iconic bar snack
Tasting Tasmania - Australia's stunning island state is home to stellar cool-climate wines, a vibrant dining scene, and the freshest air on earth.
Australia's stunning island state is home to stellar cool-climate wines, a vibrant dining scene, and the freshest air on earth.asmania smells fresh. Parks and wilderness cover 40% of the island, and much of the rest is farmland. Swept by the Roaring Forties-intense westerly winds that buffet the southern hemisphere- the atmospheric station at Cape Grim in the state's northwest corner regularly records the earth's most pristine air. Down here in Australia's southernmost state, not far from Antarctica, simply taking a breath is delicious. But that's not all that's delicious. Grapes retain mouthwatering acidity in the chilly, maritime climate of Tasmania (or Lutruwita, as it's called in palawa kani, the local Aboriginal language). Having loved Tolpuddle Vineyard's earthy Pinot Noirs, full of cranberry and orange-peel flavors, back in New York, I'd made a pilgrimage to the island for its wine.

Our favorite sommeliers share their go-to dishes and wine pairings for when the weather starts to cool. Translating to "mashed eggplant," baingan bharta is a popular North Indian dish that combines grilled eggplant with ripe tomatoes, vibrant fresh ginger, and warm spices like cumin and cloves. Cut long, deep slits down each eggplant before grilling to help the centers steam and soften as the outside chars. Serve this smoky, spreadable dish warm or at room temperature with roti or naan.
