Rating: PG-13

Critics Score: 97

Audiences Score: 91

Reviews: A crowd-pleasing tribute to the magic of silent cinema, The Artist is a clever, joyous film with delightful performances and visual style to spare.

This Year, Get Back Into Your Kitchen at Wesmont!

Recipe: Baked Panko Rockfish with Gingery Cabbage

One night last December, tucked into a caramel-colored wood booth with a view of the wood-burning oven, I ate my first meal at Chez Panisse. Not only was it memorable for being my first taste of the farm-to-table restaurant that has influenced much of what I cook, it was also my first time eating with a very special group of people: six of my fellow writers for The Kitchn, most of whom I had never met in person before.

The meal had many highlights, not all of them easy to reproduce. How do you write a recipe for a perfect Fuyu persimmon served whole with a knife in a small footed copper bowl? But one stand-out dish — an unassuming plate of battered and fried rockfish with a side of gingery cabbage — I knew I could try at home.

Try This! Put a Cup of Mayonnaise in Your Next Chocolate Cake

We’ve been on a chocolate cake bender around here. Last week Leela shared her decadent Double Chocolate Sour Cream Birthday Cake, and now we’re talking about another intense chocolate cake from Serious Eats that we made last week. It’s also to die for—thanks to 1 1/4 cups of, yep, mayonnaise.
