From "The Mediterranean Slow Cooker"

Beef stew with cinnamon and tiny onions.

Mix up your meals

Eat like a centenarian and gain years.
Return to a diet of the whole, natural foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors thrived on 10,000 years ago.
Dine lighter by eating more meatless meals. Enjoy a Mediterranean diet by letting the slow cooker do the work.
These are some of the compelling, or just plain tempting, themes of four new cookbooks: "Dr. Mao's Secrets of Longevity Cookbook, Eat to Thrive, Live Long, and Be Healthy," "Paleo Desserts: 125 Delicious Everyday Favorites, Gluten- and Grain-Free," "Meatless: More Than 200 of the Very Best Vegetarian Recipes" and "The Mediterranean Slow Cooker."

South-of-the-border flavors on Federal Hill

PROVIDENCE -- One of the newest restaurants on Federal Hill, which many people still think of as the city's "Little Italy," has an Italian-sounding name -- Lucia's.

The Providence Journal / Sandor Bodo

Lovers of pork enjoy the festive look of a crown pork roast.

Wow your guests with a holiday roast

Come the holidays, with Christmas and New Year's feasts, many seek out a dramatic dish that will be a centerpiece for the meal. That's when a roast beef, pork, lamb or Christmas goose shows up on the family table.
