Support Provided By

This salad, devised by Cook's Country, has everything that's perfect about fall produce. Brussels sprouts are in season, there are still good apples to be had, hazelnuts are abundant, and the cheese -- well, we do need to fatten up for fall! You can get all the ingredients at the farmers' market, too.

Lions and Tigers and Cameras! How the Movies Gave Los Angeles a Zoo

The early days of the movies in Los Angeles inadvertently allowed visitors to experience the largest collection of animals in the western United States.
