My coworkers can’t stop talking about salmon. Specifically, this Hot Honey–Glazed Salmon from senior Test Kitchen editor Shilpa Uskokovic. Savory and sweet, with a jolt of heat, it harnesses the brutal strength of your broiler for a burnished finish.This happens like clockwork at Bon Appétit headquarters.

And from there, a domino effect. Same thing happened with senior Test Kitchen editor Jesse Szewczyk’s Pasta With No-Cook Cherry Tomato…

Alaqad says that because traditional media outlets pick and choose what to show their audiences, losing on-the-ground journalists means losing parts of the truth. “When the people are being silenced and censored, and they don’t have a space for them to talk or a platform to express what’s happening, and for us to see what’s happening through their eyes, there will always be limitations [on] how much we know,” she says.In every crisis, when communication breaks down, accountability is lost and injustice becomes easier to ignore. “Injustice is super loud,” Alaqad says. “Justice needs to be louder.”TargetedJournalists are also silenced…

“It’s been a while now, yeah: three years. So versus everyone else, it’s one of the longest!” Daniel Lee laughs down the Zoom from the studio in Burberry’s Westminster headquarters from which he has creatively led Britain’s prime luxury fashion house since October 2022. It has taken Lee a while to find his stride, but now that he has, Burberry is on the up.At Lee’s first show, in February 2023, he peppered his runway with band T-shirts, hot-water bottles, duck-bill hats and many more ephemeral gestures so quirky they sometimes felt borderline arbitrary.

That…
