  2. Black-eyed pea recipes for the new year

    Black-eyed peas are the New Year's tradition -- a Southern tradition, for the most part, brought to the Carolinas and Georgia from West Africa via the West Indies -- believed to bring luck and prosperity. Make them with pork fat, make them <span class="runtimeTopic">vegetarian</span>, make them even luckier by adding greens (which supposedly represent paper money).

  3. Deck the halls with vegetarian roasts!

    When I was a diehard vegetarian a number of years ago, packaged meat alternatives were slim pickings at best. Sure, you could find the occasional veggie "burger" or "hot dog," but there was no comparison to the real thing. Burned enough times, I grew wary of anything masquerading as meat.

  5. Many new diet books avoid food extremes

    It's too late to lose that unwanted weight for summer. But if you start now &mdash; and aim to shed a modest 2 pounds a week &mdash; you could drop as much as 40 pounds in time to ring in 2013.

  6. 5 Questions: Former NBA star John Salley touts the vegan life

    The vegan lifestyle and the lifestyle of professional athletes aren't often associated with each other.

  8. Counter Intelligence: Red Hill brings a folky modernism to Echo Park

    To understand Red Hill, Jason Michaud and Trevor Rocco's newish place in a converted Chinese bakery just north of Sunset, you could do worse than to look at the bread-and-butter plate, a once-free nicety that has evolved into an item of competition in L.A.'s new surge of small-plates restaurants.

  10. Dietary cleanses rise in popularity, but there are risks

    To the rational mind, the notion of willingly depriving oneself of food for days on end seems illogical, at best. Basic biology, after all, dictates that calories are necessary to sustain everyday functioning and that low levels of, say, iron or potassium could throw off our physical health, possibly even dangerously so.

    A calorie is a calorie is a calorie — or is it? Maybe not, a small study has found. Once the pounds are shed, the proportions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats you chow down on may determine whether you keep the weight off — or slowly but...
