Gourmet was the country's premier food publication for nearly seven decades — The New York Times once wrote the magazine "was to food what Vogue is to fashion." But Condé Nast shuttered it in 2009, and let the trademark lapse in 2021. Enter: the new Gourmet. Five journalists relaunched Gourmet this week as a newsletter that will share recipes and written features likely to be reminiscent of the original magazine's intellectual sensibility. As for what longtime Gourmet editor Ruth Reichl thinks? It "deserves to rise from the ashes," she told The Times. See the new logo.
A Record 70% of Patients Now Live at Least 5 Years Post-Cancer Diagnosis

For the first time, 70% of cancer patients now live at least five years post-diagnosis, according to the 2026 statistics report from the American Cancer Society. To put that in perspective, the latest number is up from 50% in the 1970s and 63% in the 1990s. Anyone who has dealt with cancer either personally or peripherally has likely heard the five-year mark described as a key milestone for survival, as the risk of recurrence often decreases substantially after this point. Rebecca Siegel, lead author of the statistics study published Tuesday, told NBC News that advances in treatment have turned many cancers from death sentences into chronic diseases. An estimated 4.8 million cancer deaths were prevented between 1991 and 2023, an achievement credited to early detection, declining smoking rates, and scientists' deepening understanding of how cancer develops and spreads. "It takes decades for research to understand and develop these more effective treatments, and now we're seeing the fruits of those investments," Siegel told NBC News, noting immunotherapy as one of the most significant advances.

What's Old Is New Again: Estate Sales Are Having a Moment Among Gen Zers

Are estate sales the new thrift shops? Once the domain of older collectors and professional resellers, these events are drawing younger shoppers eager to score secondhand treasures — and, of course, post about them online. Take Maddy Brannon, an influencer who started browsing estate sales after buying a house in 2022, as a way to furnish her home on a budget. "I was shocked that no one had ever told me about estate sales," Brannon told Elle. "It made me feel like it was a little bit gatekept. Gatekept no more, the hashtag #estatesales has nearly 30,000 videos on TikTok and 234,000 posts on Instagram, showing creators sharing their vintage hauls and the thrill of finding gems at bargain prices, all the while keeping items from heading to the landfill. And it's not the only sustainable decor hobby gaining traction with the younger crowd. Upcycling old furniture (perhaps furniture found at an estate sale) into pieces that feel brand-new is also trending, adding another tick in the box as to why Gen Z and younger millennials are known as the most climate-literate generations.

One of the World's Rarest Whales Is Beginning the Year Swimmingly

There are always reasons to be hopeful — and in this case, there are 18 of them. Critically endangered North Atlantic right whales have given birth to at least 18 new calves this breeding season, according to the New England Aquarium. This follows news we covered in the fall about the species' slow but steady population increase (up to an estimated 384 individuals from 376 in 2023). And adding good news on top of good news, breeding season typically runs until mid-April — meaning time is on the whales' side. "That is a very good sign that we could potentially hit 20 or more," Amy Warren, a whale expert with the aquarium, told WBUR. "That said, there could be no more calves born the rest of the year, and I would still consider this a pretty good year." See more pics of the calves swimming with their mothers.

At an automotive tech class in Virginia, high schoolers get a lesson on cars — and kindness. They first learn how to refurbish donated cars and then they hand over the keys to single moms in need. "They get the real-life grit behind why they're actually doing a task," said teacher Shane Robertson. "This is somebody's real car, and you're really making a change in the world."
