The year 2022 saw many of us able to gather once again, sharing recipes at home (as Ina Garten did with her longtime fan the designer Daniel Roseberry) and returning to restaurants in the evenings (albeit at the early hour of 6 p.m.). The joy that comes with communing over plates of food is what inspired our Holiday issue’s dinner crawl around the world — as well as this special edition of the T List, which showcases some of the most delicious and intriguing food stories T published this year. These pieces look beyond traditional fare with a contemplation of the eggplant emoji and an essay on the wobbly dishes that are all over Instagram. You may find an idea for your next project in the kitchen — or another reason to eat out.
