Cooking fish atop a cedar plank atop a wood plank lends subtle aromatics. It also means a more forgiving cooking experience because the cedar buffers direct heat.

Just remember to soak the plank for a full hour before it ever hits
the grates; otherwise, it can ignite. Besides, a good soak kicks the smoking process into gear, and that's what you're going for.

Mind you, when cooked this way fish doesn't get much of a char—just a gentle browning around the edges. Serve it with herbaceous chimichurri—made shortly before or up to a day ahead—for a bright, briny finish.

Note: This chimichurri is more of a relish. If you prefer a puréed sauce, go ahead and pulse the ingredients in a food processor until the desired texture is achieved.

For years consumers have struggled to fit the large round fruit in their refrigerators. And then there was the problem of trying to cut the fruit when it kept rolling around. But 20 years ago a forward-thinking farmer on Japan's south-western island of Shikoku solved the problem. The farmer, from Zentsuji, in Kagawa prefecture, came up with the idea of making a cube-shaped watermelon which could easily be packed and stored. To make it happen, farmers grew the melons in glass boxes and the fruit then naturally assumed the same shape. Today the cuboid watermelons are.......................

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread

Mixed Review: Crate & Barrel vs. Trader Joe's Cornbread : " 'The Trader Joe's cornbread was some of the best cornbread I've tasted, from a mix or otherwise.' Ever wonder about a boxed mix you've seen in the store? Is it any good? Could it replace something you'd otherwise make from scratch? Welcome to Mixed Review , where the whole point is putting boxed mixes to the test! —The Mgmt. Two years ago, I did a roundup of standard supermarket cornbread mixes for this column and was generally unimpressed with all of them. They were gummy, thin, and cloyingly sweet. I called Jiffy, my top choice, 'solid, if not sensational' and recommended doctoring it up with add-ins like sun-dried tomatoes, poppy seeds, and pecans. This year, I thought it was time to revisit the cornbread basket by comparing two readily available specialty mixes: Crate & Barrel's Buttermilk Cornbread Mix ($8.95) and Trader Joe's Cornbread Mix ($2.69).
