A coating of cornstarch and oil plus a long stint in a hot oven mimics the deep fryer for this tofu sheet-pan dinner. I used to be convinced that the only way to get truly crisp tofu was to fry it. I'd roasted it and broiled it, but I was never able to achieve those burnished, crisp corners that a pan full of screaming-hot oil reliably delivered. Then I tried a technique from Jenny Rosenstrach's excellent cookbook, "The Weekday Vegetarians," and everything changed. Garlic powder and oregano are mixed with cornstarch, which gives tender cubes of tofu a crisp exterior. Kate Sears for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Monica Pierini. The method involved coating tofu cubes with a mix of oil and cornstarch before roasting them at high heat. It was the cornstarch that made the difference. When roasted without it, the tofu turns brown but stays soft. It's the starch that adds the crunch, without splattering oil all over my stove and floor the way frying would. I was hook...

Keto isn't new The Keto diet is another trendy weight-loss plan, although Susie warns that it's not all that new a concept. "This diet has been around for a while," previously going by the names of Atkins or South Beach diets, Susie said. "I feel like it has a really great marketing manager, because every so often this diet gets rebranded."                                                                 The Keto diet heavily restricts your intake of carbohydrates, while increasing your intake of fats and proteins. The goal is to reach a state of ketosis, "a metabolic state where you...

Dani García / EyeEm Getty Images The ketogenic diet is currently one of the most popular low-carb eating plans, but as with any strict diet, it can be tricky to figure out what foods (especially snacks!) fit into the plan. When it comes to healthy and delicious snacks, popcorn is a staple. In fact, Americans eat an average of 45 quarts of popcorn annually, according to the Popcorn Board (an organization that consists of popcorn companies). So if you're trying to follow a keto diet, you're probably wondering if popcorn is a keto-friendly food — so we spoke with nutritionists to find out everything you need to know. What is popcorn, and is it healthy? First, the basics: Popcorn is a specific type of maize called zea mays everta . After the ears of corn are harvested, they're dried out and then the kernels are removed. However, a small bit of moisture remains in the hard kernel so when the kernel is heated, the moisture ...

The government on Tuesday banned direct selling companies from promoting pyramid and money circulation schemes as it brought out new rules for the industry, in a move that would separate legitimate players like Amway, Tupperware and Oriflame from Ponzi scheme operators. Direct sellers must have at least one physical location as their registered office within the country and make a declaration that they are not involved in any pyramid scheme or money circulation scheme, as per the Consumer Protection (Direct Selling) Rules, 2021 notified by the Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution. "These new rules would bring clarity in the marketplace and give impetus to the industry," Rajat Banerji, chairman of self-regulatory industry body Indian Direct Selling Association (IDSA), told ET. The sector provides livelihood to more than seven million in the country of which over 50% are women, he said. Banerji said the IDSA has been working with the government for the...

Chef notes I learned to make carbonara at my first job in Emilia-Romagna. In retrospect, that makes no sense. Even though there is some debate around its origin, there is no debate that today carbonara is a dish of Lazio through and through — Rome to the bone, as one might say. It's also true that there are many different ways to make it: Pancetta or guanciale? Spaghetti or rigatoni? Whole eggs or egg yolks? Parmigiano-Reggiano, Pecorino or both? Regardless of how you answer, there is no arguing that carbonara satisfies in its own, almost mystical way. After cooking, the pasta goes right into that bowl and gets gently tossed to marry. Finally, don't skimp on the black pepper — add a hefty amount and then add some more. Technique tip: I recommend using both Pecorino Romano (for bite and salinity) and Parmigiano-Reggiano (for richness and nuttiness). Swap option: In a pinch, if you can't find guanciale, you can use good, smoky, thick-cut bacon. Preparation 1. Bring a large...

Sarah Weingartz, 18, became a makeup expert during her senior year of high school. Her days were spent in Zoom classes and at a part-time job at McDonald's, and her nights on FaceTime, where she would connect with two classmates, usually around midnight, put on a bunch of eye shadow and lipstick, wipe it off and then go to sleep. During the thick of quarantine, Ms. Weingartz, who never wore makeup prepandemic, stocked up on vibrant pencils, powders and palettes. She studied cat-eye techniques from Kall Me Kris, a.k.a. Kris Collins, a Canadian TikToker with more than 40 million followers, and experimented with blue shadow and eyeliner, now staples in her growing makeup collection. "I started with a basic wing and got more and more fancy as it went on," Ms. Weingartz said of her eyeliner journey. "It snowballed from there." Now she draws an exaggerated wing that "swoops up" and extends beyond the outer corner of her eye and uses white liner on her waterl...

Anyone with even a remotely passing interest in beauty knows of one fundamental truth: Not all mascaras are created equal. Some clump, some flake, some rub off almost as soon as you put them on. More often than not, formulas aren't bad , per se — they're simply serviceable and not anything to write home about. Of course, Thrive Causemetics's Liquid Lash Extensions Mascara is not that mascara; this formula is something else altogether, and it has nearly 300,000 five-star reviews to prove it.  Thrive's high-performance formula promises lashes that won't flake, clump, or smudge, and just as the name suggests, it gives your lashes the appearance of wearing falsies. Thrive credits this mascara's performance to its Flake-Free Tubing Technology, a trademarked formula powered by orchid stem cells that encourages longe...

It's not unusual for bands to have commercial sponsorship for their tour, but as Guns N' Roses plan to hit the road for dates in Australia late next year, they'll receive an assist from Australia's government. According to NME, the band's tour is being presented by concert promoters TEG Dainty. The company is one of 63 entities within Australia that will benefit from the government's RISE (Restart Investment to Sustain and Expand) program, helping businesses get back on their feet and help stimulate the economy that's been damaged by pandemic shutdowns of the last year-plus. This funding is the sixth such stimulus guided toward businesses in need since the start of the pandemic in Australia. Guns N' Roses had been scheduled to play Australia, taking part in an arena tour that has been pushed back to November 2022 due to the pandemic. The $600,000 awarded to TEG Dainty is expected to help the concert promoter reschedule the run that was initially set to t...

Microsoft Teams live events will soon be easier to manage. Microsoft is currently working on a new feature that will allow you to pop out the producer experience for Teams live events into a separate window. The feature is in development according to the Microsoft 365 roadmap and could arrive as soon as May 2021. As is always the case, any date on the Microsoft 365 roadmap is just a guideline and is subject to change. At the moment, it can be awkward to have to navigate around Teams while running a live event. Right now, people manage live events directly within the primary window of Teams. This can create extra work as people have to jump around to different parts of the main Teams window to get things done. With the option to pop out live events into a separate window, it should be easier to multitask. Microsoft already rolled out the option to pop out chats, apps, and meetings into separate windows. The option appears to be popular across the board, so it will be a welcome add...
