EDITORS NOTE
o start, let me say that I am a magazine enthusiast, a junkie who
from my earliest school days has been obsessed
with flipping
though the pages of magazines, first absorbed
in their images
and stories, later assigning and editing my own. I
really believe that
no matter whether a magazine is delivered to your
doorstep or to your computer, printed on glossy stock or on cheap tabloid paper, appearing on your iPad or your cell-phone screen, it is still and foremost the work of an editorial team for a discerning audience, a beautiful and meaningful— we hope—package of ideas, words and images that a group of experts prepares for its readers. While technology efficiently delivers news stories to our desktops, laptops and mobile devices, magazines are all about context—how ideas and images are presented in relation to one another and within a larger point of view. Magazines are about trust and partnership: We, the editors, will strive always to keep you engaged; you, the readers, are free to engage with us or to reject us. There is a story this month that I particularly like because it combines a great read with intriguing photographs. The very talented Lauren Collins, a staff writer at The New Yorker, profiles a woman at the top of her game: Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini. In her spirited and often funny narrative, Collins captures the strengths and doubts of many successful women. She paints, with brave strokes, Giannini’s rise to power in a man’s world, professionally and personally, while at the same time delighting in the pleasures and ironies of celebrity and stardom. Artist and photographer Paolo Roversi renders his own portrait of Giannini—naked beneath her mannish suit—and brings Gucci’s fall collection out into the streets of Rome, with mirrors, monuments and more than a touch of Fellini. XOXO Ashley McFadden, Editor-in-chief

Waffles
2 cups mashed potatoes 2 TBS ghee, melted (or butter if not paleo) 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt 1 /2 tsp granulated garlic 2 large eggs 1 /4 cup full-fat coconut milk 1 /2 cup almond flour 1 stalk of green onion, chopped 1 /3 cup chopped red pepper 4 sun-dried tomatoes, chopped 3 TBS chopped basil 1 1/2 TBS coconut oil for brushing
Creamy Avocado Basil Sauce
medium avocado /4 cup basil leaves (about 6 to 8 leaves) 6 TBS water 2 1/2 TBS olive oil 2 TBS cashew cream (or yogurt if not paleo) 1 TBS lime juice (about 1/2 lime) 1 garlic clove 6 TBS water 1
/2

Instructions
1. Preheat your waffle maker to medium heat. 2. In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes, ghee, salt, and granulated garlic together. 3. Mix in the eggs, coconut milk, almond flour, green onion, red pepper, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil together. You should get a slightly thick and creamy batter. 4. Brush some coconut oil onto the waffle iron. These waffles are going to be pretty small, so you’ll only need to brush about a 2 to 3-inch square space. 5. Make sure to brush both sides of the iron. 6. Take 1/3 cup of the batter, and place it onto the oiled waffle iron. Close and cook for about 4 minutes. The waffles should have a deep golden brown color. Use tongs or a large spoon to help remove the waffles. 7. While the waffles are cooking, mix all the ingredients for the creamy avocado basil sauce together in a blender. 8. Serve waffles with avocado sauce.
Avocado basil sauce can keep in the fridge for up to a week. It’s great on salads, too!

Churro Waffles
Waffles
2 cups buttermilk 3 eggs 6 TBS unsalted butter melted 1 TBS vanilla 1 TBS brown sugar 2 cups flour 2 tsp baking powder 1 /2 tsp salt 4 TBS salted butter melted 1 /2 cup sugar 1 TBS cinnamon Whipped cream or ice cream Warm chocolate sauce, Dulce de Leche or maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, eggs, 6 tablespoons of melted unsalted butter, vanilla and brown sugar. 2. Add the dry ingredients: flour, baking powder and salt; stir until just combined. It’s OK if the batter is a little lumpy. Allow the batter to sit 5-10 minutes. 3. Preheat your waffle iron. 4. Cook the waffles according to your waffle iron’s directions. I like to slightly undercook my waffles so they are super soft in the center. 5. In a shallow, low bow or dish, combine the cinnamon and sugar. 6. Brush each warm waffle generously with the 8 tablespoons melted butter and then dip through the cinnamon sugar. Repeat with the remaining waffles. 7. Serve your waffles with topping of choice.

Karl Lagerfeld merged food and fashion at Paris Fashion Week. By Joyann King Photos by Getty Images
hat does every fashionable woman do? Grocery shop, of course. Karl Lagerfeld turned the mundane, everyday errand into an epic fashion show this morning at the Grand Palais, where he staged an entire supermarket called “Chanel Shopping Center”. Showgoers explored the aisles full of real, yes real, Chanel-branded groceries, produce, hardware, even fine meats and cheeses. The genius part was each item was a thoughtful homage to the storied brand: Coco Flakes, Délices de Gabrielle, spirits named after each Metiers d’Arts collection, cleaning supplies covered in their famous chains, the list goes on. It was an Instagram frenzy that had even the most straight faces in fashion delighted. Before the show, Tina Craig of Bag Snob said, “I feel like I am at Target in Dallas!” Which is exactly what Karl Lagerfeld was after. The models didn't walk the runway, instead they shopped the runway in what can only be described as an amped-up uniform of uberchic, cool, multi-tasking moms. Post-yoga-inspired leggings and crop tops or glam sweatsuits were paired with the most exquisite tweed coats, high-fashion sneakers, glittering jewelry and functional chain bags. See Cara Delevingne in the first look out above. The pony-tailed models carried chain-laden shopping baskets filled with the double C bags we'll be lusting after for fall or filled Chanel-designed grocery carts to the brim. (Lindsey Wixon had her basket almost overflowing by the end of the show!). See Cara Delevingne in the first look out above.

NEW YEAR

usk tints the tips of the palm trees purple and the lights of downtown Los Angeles begin to glitter in the distance, Jon Shook shows Danielle Haim how to choke up on the punch ladle for a maximally generous pour. Her sister Alana stands ready to float a few drops of Peychaud’s bitters into the glasses, while nearby at the stove, Vinny Dotolo tells Este Haim why it’s better to sear the Halloumi cheese before scattering on the thyme leaves and chile shards. (Spices can burn and go bitter.) The occasion is a New Year’s Eve dinner at Danielle’s new home overlooking Silver Lake. It’s close to the hipster heartland at Sunset Junction but invested with the lush, jungly magic of the hills. Shook, for one, isn’t the type to wax nostalgic. “I live in the future,” says the chef, who, along with Dotolo, owns several of L.A.’s most admired restaurants, including Animal and Son of a Gun. (Add Ludo Lefebvre to the mix and you have the trois mecs behind Trois Mec, still one of the most sweated reservations in town.) “But New Year’s Eve is the one night of the year when I allow myself to get a little reflective,” he adds, “to say, ‘Wow, I did that.’” The two certainly have a lot to be proud of this year. BA Hot 10 winner Petit Trois, a jewel box of a bistro whose cult omelet is rivaled only by its cult burger, and the rollicking Italian-American restaurant and
pizzeria Jon & Vinny’s joined their empire. Meanwhile, their friends Este, Danielle, and Alana have something to celebrate too: Their rock band, Haim, scored a nomination for Best New Artist at the 57th annual Grammy Awards, and they’re fresh off opening for new bestie Taylor Swift on her 1989 World Tour. Though Shook and Dotolo certainly know their way around a lobster tail and a lobe of foie gras, they’re passing by the more predictable holiday foods for tonight’s menu. When Haim told the guys that they’re on a bit of a lamb kick, the duo conjured a cuisine that Shook calls L.A. farmers’ market Middle Eastern. It’s a riff on the Mediterranean dishes the Haim (two syllables: HI-em) sisters grew up making in the San Fernando Valley, and it comes together with a twentysomething’s kitchen in mind. “We cook in people’s homes all the time,” Dotolo says, downplaying the fact that they’re also Hollywood’s most soughtafter caterers, “so we get that most people don’t have a circulator and a food mill.” The meal was also engineered toward maximal cavorting. The chefs shopped and prepped a couple of days ahead. Salads were assembled that morning, and the dinner’s centerpiece, a leg of lamb that puts a Levantine twist on the classic seven-hour French party dish, has been chilling out (and staying warm) in the oven. “You’re not physically cooking when the party’s

The garden gradually fills with a black-clad legion of friends weaving through the overgrown agaves: guys doing mods-versus-rockers with significant hairdos and a sequin or two; women whose frayed layers seem to have something to say about Stevie Nicks, with whom Haim has performed. It’s a music-y crowd: Grammy-winning Beyoncé producer Ariel Rechtshaid, Asa Taccone from Electric Guest, the Swedish producer Ludwig Göransson, Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend alongside actress Rashida Jones. But tonight’s soundtrack is retro. The punch, made by Shook and Dotolo’s beverage guru, Helen Johanneson (her new wine store, Helen’s, is in the back of Jon & Vinny’s), has an unlocking effect. By the time the platters have traveled the table, “La Isla Bonita” can scarcely be heard over the din of chatter. Come midnight, the candles have melted into baroque puddles, and as Alana stands under the pergola spraying Champagne in frothy jets, Abba’s “The Winner Takes It All” becomes the first song of the new year.

It’s a riff on the Mediterranean dishes the Haim (two syllables: HI-em) sisters grew up making in the San Fernando Valley, and it comes together with a twentysomething’s kitchen in mind. “We cook in people’s homes all the time,” Dotolo says, downplaying the fact that they’re also Hollywood’s most soughtafter caterers, “so we get that most people don’t have a circulator and a food mill.” The meal was also engineered toward maximal cavorting. The chefs shopped and prepped a couple of days ahead. Salads were assembled that morning, and the dinner’s centerpiece, a leg of lamb that puts a Levantine twist on the classic seven-hour French party dish, has been chilling out (and staying warm) in the oven. “You’re not physically cooking when the party’s happening, so you can actually party,” Shook explains, making a reality out of the impossible dream. The garden gradually fills with a black-clad legion of friends weaving through the overgrown agaves: guys doing mods-versus-rockers with significant hairdos and sequin or two; women whose frayed layers seem
to have something to say about Stevie Nicks, with whom Haim has performed. It’s a musicy crowd: Grammy-winning Beyoncé producer Ariel Rechtshaid, Asa Taccone from Electric Guest, the Swedish producer Ludwig Göransson, Ezra Koenig of Vampire Weekend alongside actress Rashida Jones.

(Add Ludo Lefebvre to the mix and you have the trois mecs behind Trois Mec, still one of the most sweated reservations in town.) “But New Year’s Eve is the one night of the year when I allow myself to get a little reflective,” he adds, “to say, ‘Wow, I did that.’”

Chrissy Teigen Q&A WITH
The swimsuit model, food blogger, frequent flier, and—oh yeah—wife of John Legend is as crazy about fast food as she is Florentine trattorias.
Everyone at BA has an in-flight cocktail routine. What’s yours? Vodka-soda with lime or a Bloody Mary.
Greatest food city on earth. Florence. Trattoria Pandemonio serves this steak propped up with a piece of bread, and all the juice just drips down. It’s so massive, and the cut of meat is beautiful.
Most memorable meal while traveling. The Cantonese brunch at the Mandarin Oriental in Tokyo. The dumplings are amazing, and everyone gets dolled up.
Typical room-service order. Caesar salad with grilled chicken. Or a piping-hot minestrone. That’s one thing I get neurotic about: I need my soup to be crazy hot.
And for breakfast? Two eggs over easy with sliced avocado and turkey bacon.
One food everyone tells you to try, but you just can’t get up the nerve. Brains.
Your last hangover: When was it and what were you drinking? Definitely tequila and definitely yesterday.
Fast food of choice. Taco Bell. I talk about it so much, people think I’m being paid by them. I’m not, I just love spicy food.
Go-to condiment. For breakfast, Cholula. For dinner, Sriracha. And I could drink A.1.

What can’t you control yourself around? John’s fried chicken. It’s just chicken wings soaked in Lawry’s seasoned salt, water, and garlic powder, then shaken around in a bag of flour and shoved in the fryer. I eat them naked without hot sauce.
Finish this sentence: My relationship with food is... Strong. I wake up every morning thinking about it, and I fall asleep wondering what I’m going to eat the next day.
Favorite midnight snack. If I’m drunk, I love a little White Castle. If I’m trying to be healthy, tuna sashimi in seaweed with wasabi.
