Roti Takes a New Form: Convenience Food

The bread has meant many things to many people, from South Asia to South America. Now a new generation is using it for pizza, French toast and more.

With some lighter fare for the week: Priya Krishna’s new coconut saag, a French-y sous-chef salad and Hiroshima-style okonomiyaki.

A regional favorite in Bari, Italy, has found new American fans, thanks in part to Stanley Tucci’s “Searching for Italy.”

Okonomiyaki, special in its simplicity, can be a culinary home of your making.

Marinated all afternoon, placed on the grill an hour before sunset and served with warm tortillas, rice and beans, hot sauce and lime wedges.
