Written by one of Houston’s most acclaimed chefs, James Beard Award-winning Chris Shepherd, Cook Like a Local: Flavors That Can Change How You Cook and See the World transforms the commonly held perception that local food must be rooted in centuries-long preparation. For Shepherd, locality is quantified by proximity: “The last census showed that there is no longer a ‘majority’ in Houston. It’s a city of minorities. So for me, thinking about what it means to cook locally in Houston means going out into the different neighborhoods of my city and taking a census of my own: one of flavors, and of culinary traditions,” he writes in the book’s introduction. The book offers recipes from a variety of local chefs from an even more varied range of cultures—all with true-to-the-dish ingredients, which are indexed at the back of the book, and explanations on how to make key ones (like toppings, bases, sauces). The book is available for pre-order and will ship 3 September.

Naturally dyed using pomegranate, eucalyptus and tea, Buffy’s sheets eschew cotton for a eucalyptus fiber fabric. Not only are the sheets soft and cool to the touch, they’re also kinder to the planet as the dying process uses much less water and energy than traditional methods (and zero chemicals or binding agents). Eucalyptus fibers also repel mold, mildew, dust mites, and other microbes, and are even more breathable than cotton. Available in four colorways—white, pink, light gray and dark gray—each set comes with a fitted sheet, flat sheet and two pillowcases in Twin, Twin XL, Full, Queen, King and California King sizes.

Specifically designed for commuting, Yerka’s V3 features fenders on both wheels, the option of a single- or three-speed gear, and a frame that doubles as a lock. When locking up the bike, simply unhook the lower portion of the frame (where the notch is), detach the seat and then the seat becomes the keystone of the locking system. The bike is then almost impractical to steal, as breaking the lock would compromise the frame. This iteration (available in three sizes and four colors) also comes with anodized rims for anti-erosion as well as aesthetic value.
