2022 Year in Review

Lots of tofu, creamy pasta, and speedy desserts made the cut.

We loved these stories about Black seder meals, the legacy of "Jiro Dreams of Sushi," recipes written by A.I., and more.

From frozen dumplings to shallow pasta bowls, these are the kitchen tools, ingredients, and cookware you couldn’t get enough of.

Crypto in restaurants, the rise of the raw meat diet, and complaints about no-gloves cooking…at home. Here are the food trends that we could do without next year.

Pilk, Pink Sauce, Corn Kid, rotisserie chicken man, and more—we rank the year’s main characters in a matrix.

Standout ramen and pastries in Cincinnati, super-fresh seafood in South Carolina, seriously good black garlic noodles in Hawaii, and so much more.

At Starbucks, Chipotle, McDonald’s, and more, service workers turned to collective action in 2022.

The ever-more prolific fast food drive-through reflects the fact that we’re not socializing as much anymore. When we are, we don’t want to do it in a Taco Bell.

Our editor in chief on four books that left her inspired—in the kitchen and beyond—in 2022.

Like chewy Chipwiches and buttery cuccidati.

Tomatoes were the runaway star.

Egg-cellent poached, baked, and fried.

Like harrisa fried chicken, sheet pan salad, and a lemony roast.

Sunny, fruity drinks were our favorites.

Including creamy potato soup, savory vegan pho, and drunken clams.

From creamy mushroom ragù, to brothy vegan pho.

Like brothy beans, spicy sesame noodles, and comforting lentil soup.

“Set your dessert on fire” era.

Crackly cauliflower, saucy tofu, and lots more veggies.
