COOKING IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE: everyone speaks it. For centuries, the shared meal has been the medium for connecting with friends and family—enjoying lively conversation, food and drink across the dinner table. Similarly, breaking bread together has built bridges among different peoples since ancient times. Cooking the Costco Way enthusiastically demonstrates this cosmopolitan spirit. In addition to congeniality, food brings out our curiosity. People are always looking for new and exciting flavor sensations. |

Well summer is finally here. And what better way to begin than by going to the New York Yoga & Raw Foods Expo at the Hotel New Yorker on June 6-8. Imagine taking Yoga classes all day for three days and unlimited lectures for only $30. This is a yogi’s dream come true. When you see me there please say hello. Starting withe the September/October issue, I will be combining NEWLIFE magazine and NY Yoga magazine. This will be a win-win for NY Yoga magazine since it will now be on a much higher quality paper stock and the circulation will increase by one-third. |
