Mark Plotkin: What the people of the Amazon know that you don’t

Posted by

“The greatest and most endangered species in the Amazon rainforest is not the jaguar or the harpy eagle,” says Mark Plotkin, “It’s the isolated and uncontacted tribes.” In an energetic and sobering talk, the ethnobotanist brings us into the world of the forest’s indigenous tribes and the incredible medicinal plants that their shamans use to heal. He outlines the challenges and perils that are endangering them — and their wisdom — and urges us to protect this irreplaceable repository of knowledge.

How To Make Fig and Onion Glaze with Kelis

Posted by

Kelis’s fig-and-onion glaze was so good it was tempting to drink it straight out of the bottle—but we settled for slathering it on pork chops instead. The double-Grammy-winning singer is also a professional chef, which makes us all feel really unaccomplished with our own lives. Watch her slice figs, caramelize onions, and grill pork chops while teaching us about her cooking philosophy.
