The world of makeup can be pretty overwhelming, and if you spend a lot of time on social media, you might feel intimidated by the amount of skill and artistry required to put on a full face. If you’re like me—someone whose idea of “made up” is simply mascara, lipstick, an...

In the house where I grew up, we had two living rooms: a formal one that we weren’t allowed to sit in, and the other that housed the television and, often, our overflowing toys and books.

In 2021, Champagne producer Louis Roederer made headlines when it decided to stop making its best-selling nonvintage Brut Premier, replacing it with a new multi-vintage cuvée called “Collection.” It’s the latest producer to announce such a change, following in the footsteps of houses like Jacquesson, which—over 20 years ago—got rid of its nonvintage blend in favor of the Cuvée seven-series.

Thanks to my family’s restaurant roots, I’ve managed to become fairly proficient in the kitchen. I’ve taught myself how to make a pretty killer chicken adobo, mastered the art of the béchamel sauce, and can whip up a solid Bolognese without a recipe. The kind of cooking I do well with offers a lot of flexibility: Layering flavors and spices, tweaking cooking temperature or time, and playing around with cooking methods is completely in my comfort zone.
But I have never considered myself a bake...
