“Charlie is a spinner. When he gets excited, he will spin in multiple loops with his ears up and his eyes bright.”—Gailmax “As with most little dogs, Charlie’s ‘inner big dog’ barks at all neighborhood dogs and anyone coming to the house. He patrols the perimeter of our backyard, shouting warnings to any dogs in the alley and a squirrel who regularly visits. “Despite these guard-dog tendencies, Charlie loves visitors, just as long as they rub his belly. He gets along with another dog who occasionally stays with us. Cats are no problem either, but then I sometimes think he is part cat. He doesn’t play with toys at all, but if I put a treat on the floor he will play with it like a cat. He bats…

Wolfgang Puck will mark his 25th year cooking for Hollywood’s biggest names at the Governors Ball following the Academy Awards on February 24. Over the years, he’s had many memorable moments.

“I shook the chicken strips with ½ cup cornstarch in a bag and let them rest for a few minutes. Then I fried them in a preheated skillet with veggie oil.”– DALE “This is amazing!

KIMCHI (KIHM-chee) is a spicy condiment made from pickled and fermented vegetables, typically seasoned with garlic and red chiles. The most common kimchi is made with cabbage, but it can also be made with carrots, radishes, cucumbers, or bell peppers. Don’t be alarmed when it fizzes—that’s the fermentation at work. Find it in glass or plastic jars in the refrigerated section of Asian markets or other markets. Keep refrigerated. DASHIDA (DA-shee-dah) or dasida is a very salty powdered instant soup stock similar to bouillon. It’s often beef-flavored, but shiitake, anchovy, and other flavors are also available. A little goes a long way. Find it at Asian supermarkets, typically in large bags. Store in the pantry up to one year. GOCHUGARU (GOH-choo-gah-roo) is ground Korean red chile pepper flakes,…

1. Tennessee-based Lodge (lodgemfg.com) has been making cast iron since 1896. While you might know the company best for its iconic skillets, more recent offerings include woks and handleless griddles, plus a line of small “heat-treated iron” vessels that are actually dishwasher-safe. HowÕs that possible? Lodge’s Mark Kelly says replacing oxygen with nitrogen in the metal’s top layer helps prevent rust formation in this line, which includes the triangular mini servers ($16 each) shown above. 2. Nest Homeware (nesthomeware.com) of Providence, Rhode Island, makes cast-iron cookware with distinctive twig-style handles. They’re finished with flaxseed oil, which gives them a golden sheen. The 3.5-qt. Dutch oven ($250) shown here is a favorite, and Nest recently introduced a 12-inch braising skillet ($215). 3. Borough Furnace (boroughfurnace.com) of Owego, New York, creates…

Less yeasty and more cakelike than king cake, these quick cakes get you the vanilla-nutmeg-lemon-buttermilk flavor and fun colors of a traditional king cake—without waiting around for a yeasted dough to rise. We scaled up c-biskit’s original and let time dissolve the sugar and chill the ingredients. Now you can prep this classic sipper ahead and, rather than mixing each individual cocktail, just pour and twist as guests arrive. To make this even easier, we set a bowl of the pimiento cheese on a platter with crackers, cherry tomatoes, cut-up veggies, and a spoon, and let guests help themselves. This started as a use-it-up soup and came out tasting remarkably like gumbo. The split peas and zucchini magically create the thickness, color, and flavor you get from the traditional…

It’s only natural to want to pamper your loved ones with home-cooked meals, chocolates, and sweets—especially on Valentine’s Day. But extending those same treats to furry family members can make them ill. Most pet owners already know that chocolates are a big no-no for dogs and cats. We asked Dr. Kurt Venator, chief veterinary officer at Purina, to share a few other common ingredients pets should avoid eating. 1 ONIONS, GARLIC, LEEKS, AND CHIVES Whether raw or cooked, these members of the allium family contain compounds called organosulfoxides, which can cause anemia or digestive problems in cats and some dog breeds, including the Akita and Shiba Inu. Symptoms to watch for include rapid breathing, increased heart rates, pale gums, and fatigue. 2 LARGE AMOUNTS OF XYLITOL This artificial sweetener,…

1. Spindrift Sparkling Water If you’re looking more for a soda substitute than water with a twist, this brand’s Grapefruit and Lemon flavors might just be your bag. These full-flavored waters get a boost from real fruit juice, while still keeping calories in check: just 17 and 3 calories per can, respectively. $6 for eight 12-oz. cans at target.com 2.

Dasani Sparkling The Blood Orange and Lime flavors were standouts compared to other brands’ citrus flavors. Each was refreshingly tart, but with a subtle sweetness. This one does…
