Grilled Chicken & Polenta with Nectarine-Blackberry Salsa

Fresh

This front-of-book department is full of the latest food news, seasonal recommendations, book and movie reviews, facts on food and the environment, and people profiles.

Healthy in a Hurry

One of our best-loved departments (and the title of our popular cookbook), Healthy in a Hurry, puts simple solutions for weeknight meals in one handy section. Weeknight meals take 45 minutes or less. Meal Makeover brings kitchen assistance to the family table; 4 Ways turns one ingredient into four creative suppers; Vegetable Wise teaches how to love a different vegetable each issue; and Serves 2 addresses cooking couples.

Nutrition: News to Live By

Our Nutrition: News to Live By department addresses timely topics with a service-based slant that cuts through the hype. Ask EatingWell delivers need-to-know information about timely nutrition concerns in Q&A format. The What Is This? column “decodes” mysterious ingredient terms that repeatedly appear on food packaging. Nutrition Sense features advice from Dr. Rachel Johnson, a board member of the American Heart Association and Dean of the College of Agriculture & Life Sciences at the University of Vermont.

From the Test Kitchen

How do you prepare chicken stock? Who makes the best baking sheets? How do salmon sausages really taste? From Our Test Kitchen is our readers’ very own cooking school, with tips from our experienced staff on all types of techniques, plus advice on buying food, the appliances, cookware, kitchen tools and cookbooks.

Recipe Index

An everyday tool for readers, our Recipe Index is a complete listing of all the issue’s recipes, with special nutrition icons and detailed counts of calories, fats, carbs, fiber and sodium. This popular page appears very far forward in the magazine, following the Contents page.

Nourish

How does food nourish you in unexpected ways? That’s the question this essay examines. The column features literary essays by nationally acclaimed authors, such as Bill McKibben and Sue Halpern, Laura Fraser, Scott Russell Sanders and Barbara and Camille Kingsolver.

Uncorked

Our wine and spirits column, Uncorked, not only suggests interesting and affordable wines, beers and spirits our readers may not know about but also teaches them something about the places of origin, enticing them to travel to regions like Napa or Burgundy to learn more about the provenance of their favorite vintages.

Last Bite

Rounding out every issue, our Last Bite column engages readers with a lively and colorful page full of fast facts, fun quotes, historical notes and a cartoon.
