...food is serious and the service is skilled. Gunpowder's short, seasonal menu is limited to the six states of India's southern cone, and Warier and Bhushi do most of the cooking themselves.

They do not cook in bulk or cut corners, so each dish has a distinct array of flavors. Idukki pork (named after a district of Kerala) is fork-tender and bathed in coconut gravy, while the toddy-shop fish (another dish...

...snacks for the next day. "If I buy a cantaloupe, cut it up and bag the pieces, we'll eat it. Otherwise, it just sits in the fridge," says Chris. To make meal prep more efficient, after every trip to the grocery store, the family creates a menu of the week's options by putting them on Post-its on the refrigerator. That way, dinner is simply a matter of deciding which meal to make. "It eliminates the guesswork and some of the stress from mealtime," says Greg...
