Groupon
g ath erin g
Think of it as the new
take on ladies’ lunch.
Savvy women are
looking to Groupon, the
popular online coupon
service, for when and
where to meet up— at
a featured local
restaurant, exercise
class, or spa. It’s
inexpensive and keeps
your crew away from
that same corner cafe.

W h a t’s
cookin’?
As m anaging editor for
T h e K itch n (thekitchn.
com ),
a blog dedicated
to home cooking,
self-taught cook and
passionate eater Faith
Durand is living the
dream. And she’s
helping others learn to
love their kitchens too.
“I love encouraging
people to discover
cooking as something
creative, joyful, and
interesting,” says
Durand. She and her
team post 20 food-
driven short articles
a day, including
her self-developed,
self-photographed
recipes. And don’t
m iss Durand’s first
cookbook,
N ot Your
M o th er's C a sseroles
($25, Harvard
Com m on Press, 2011).
It’s a fresh, healthy
take on the popular
one-dish meals— no
canned cream-of-
anything allowed.
