Getting Healthyish With Sophia Roe • A packed schedule doesn’t mean sacrificing good-for-you food—take a cue from the chef and wellness advocate (and one of the busiest people we know)

Clink Clink • A holiday cocktail can go in just about any direction, which is why we asked some of our favorite booze professionals to make us, well, whatever they wanted to make us for the holidays

NOT MY MOTHER’S LATKES • With crisp outsides, creamy insides, and a subtle sweetness from tons of blanched leeks, these latkes from ZAK THE BAKER might not be what you’re used to—and that’s a good thing

THE GUEST LIST

CHRISTMAS HALLACAS • Proof that good things come in small packages: the meaty Venezuelan tamales that Atlanta pastry chef CLAUDIA MARTINEZ’S family has been making for generations

Shop the Recipe • Three ingredients you’ll need to re-create the Martinez family’s hallacas recipe and where to find them.

COMFORT COOKIES • However you choose to celebrate (or endure) the holidays this year, one thing is clear: You deserve a cookie (or seven). So we dug deep into our personal archives, drawing on our most nostalgic, security-blanket-esque cookie memories and updating the recipes for right now—when we need them most

Brave New World • Boston chef IRENE LI may never reopen Mei Mei. Maybe that’s a good thing
