There's a healing Eastern wind swirling through hospital corridors and exam rooms, buffeting the Arctic blasts of impersonal Western medical care--and its source may surprise you.

Three Studies in Virtuoso Home Cooking
FEATURE-March 2011
By Dennis Gilbert
Photographs by Kristin Teig
This story begins and ends at home. Rural Maine, 1950s: in a kitchen powered by counter-top appliances and a dangerously bipolar four-burner electric, my mother practiced a culinary sorcery that would have been any hungry kid’s dream come true. Homecooking—one indivisible word describing not only what we ate but how we lived. The present story is about people similarly afflicted with an inability to separate the domus from the queen of domestic arts.

Rogues Gallery
FEATURE
By Michael Williams | Photographed by Mikael Kennedy
On the fourth floor of a building on 26th Street in New York City, there is an enclave of nautical New England, a space full of the lore of the Atlantic, a celebration of seafarers and grizzly wharf types. At first glance you might think you stumbled into a fishermen museum in downtown Portland rather than the New York showroom and part-time creative center of the Maine-based clothing label Rogues Gallery.

By Laura Serino
