SuChin Pak's 5 Questions: Kimberly Snyder

The nutritionist talks to us about food

Juices or shakes? Carbs or Atkins? Stevia or agave? When it comes to healthy eating, sometimes it’s just easier to say, “Pass the Oreos.”

In today’s 5 Questions with SuChin Pak, nutritionist Kimberly Snyder answers our burning foodie FAQs, from her feelings on juice cleanses to the items she would add and subtract from everyone’s diets.

We took advantage of Snyder’s know-how (her latest book, The Beauty Detox Foods, came out yesterday) and snagged a hair-thickening Caesar salad recipe and a roundup of foods that combat cellulite, too.

It’s evident the health guru practices what she preaches: She’s flawless in person.

We’re lucky she sandwiched us in.

The Beauty Detox Foods is available at amazon.com, $11. For more about Snyder, go to kimberlysnyder.net and check out her five beauty must-haves.

A Spring Tweet

Celebrate the return of the birds

Looking for signs of spring? Then bird is the word.

Attract a flock to your backyard with a tree full of cookie cutter bird feeders. This simple, kid-friendly DIY uses water, gelatin, and birdseed to make a welcome-home feast for our winged friends.

Once the feeders are dry, gather your chickadees and hang your creation from your porch, deck, or tree with string.

And then look to the sky.

In the Kitchen: Rhubarb Fool with Ginger Sabayon

Chef Karen Hatfield's easy recipe

We like to fashion our lives after the characters on Downton Abbey (minus getting jilted at the altar, going to war, death during childbirth, and that weird Mr. Pamuk scenario).

The first step: baking a rhubarb fool (a dessert resembling a trifle) like a Brit. In today’s video, chef Karen Hatfield (from L.A.’s The Sycamore Kitchen and Hatfield’s) shows us how to make a version with ginger sabayon.

Not only is it bloody simple, you can substitute any kind of berry if rhubarb isn’t your thing.

Just send Daisy to pick some up.

Inside Story: Lindsay Segal's Chicago Apartment

The co-founder of Luxury Garage Sale gives us a tour

Taylor Swift makes snow globes. Ryan Gosling knits.

We love when well-heeled people embrace their idiosyncrasies.

So we can’t get enough of Lindsay Segal, co-owner of Luxury Garage Sale (a Chicago-based upscale consignment service) and avid collector of robots, vintage plates, porcelain animals, and costume jewelry. In today’s Inside Story, she gives us a peek into her light-filled West Loop apartment.

It’s no surprise she’s accrued so many treasures — combing antique stores and estate sales is literally her job. The fact that most of her jewelry costs less than $100 is a testament to her keen eye for design.

This Segal’s a rare bird.

Drive Right In

A creative twist on movie night

The only problem with family movie night? Not enough room for everyone on the couch.

Think outside the cardboard box and turn cast-off packaging into kiddie seats perfectly sized for a living room drive-in.

Customize their rides using paper plates for tires, ribbon-wrapped steering wheels, and a favorite pillow for a plush and cozy interior. Add racing stripes with markers and make a license plate out of stickers.

Just before you press play, deliver popcorn to their cars. Then sit back and enjoy the show.

Hiding from winter weather? Go undercover with a DIY mask bar.

SuChin Pak's 5 Questions: Coco Rocha

Her first kiss, thoughts on modeling, and "The Face"

Since it’s almost V-Day, we have a confession: We’ve had a crush on model Coco Rocha ever since she did an Irish jig down the catwalk at John Paul Gaultier in 2007.

Now that the 24-year-old is a mentor (alongside Naomi Campbell and Karolina Kurkova) on Oxygen’s new model competition show, The Face, we thought it time to act. She’s the subject of our first-ever Five Questions with SuChin Pak video series.

From her first kiss (the answer to which will shock you) to what she’d be doing if she weren’t modeling, Rocha gets deep for our chief correspondent. And, yes, she’s as pretty and porcelain looking in person as on TV.

Our feelings only grow stronger.

The Face premieres tomorrow night at 9 p.m. EST. For more information, go to the-face.oxygen.com. Want more Pak? Here are her current obsessions.

In the Kitchen: Chocolate Pie with Raspberry Topping

An easy Valentine's Day recipe from Bang Bang Pie Shop

Love: You can take it or leave it.

But a good pie? Consider it taken. Which is why today’s In the Kitchen video will tug on even the blackest heartstrings: a Valentine’s Day recipe from Bang Bang Pie Shop.

Inside the cozy Logan Square storefront, head baker Megan Miller whips up the kinds of delicacies dreams are made of. Her chocolate-raspberry pie is easy enough to replicate at home.

With just seven ingredients — most of which you have in your pantry — it’s nearly foolproof. We suggest picking up a ball of Bang Bang’s butter-flecked dough for top-notch results (it’s for sale at the shop).

Serve it to someone special. Then eat your heart out.

Bang Bang Pie Shop, 2051 North California Avenue, at McLean Avenue (773-276-8888 or bangbangpies.com).

Pretty Smart: Mastering the Deep Side Part

A Woodley & Bunny stylist's easy instructions

We know a girl whose best friend’s cousin’s dog’s previous owner’s sister is a backup dancer for Beyoncé. So, basically, it’s like we know Beyoncé.

A better way to feel the connection? Try the queen’s favorite hairstyle: a glammed-up deep side part with curls (which she wore at the inauguration and halftime show press conference).

Stylist Jennipher Van Bogart at Woodley & Bunny showed our editor how to do it in just a few easy steps; all you need is root lift product, a curling iron, clips, and hair spray.

It’s your destiny, child.

Eddie Huang Makes Bao (and Conversation)

You can't really do what the Baohaus chef does at home

Usually, when we film an In the Kitchen video, the purpose is to teach viewers to re-create a recipe.

But during our shoot with Eddie Huang, chef at Baohaus in Manhattan, five minutes into making his pork bao he said, “Honestly, people can’t do this. If you want to do that, try Momofuku.”

Which sums up what drew us to Huang in the first place: His memoir, Fresh Off the Boat, out now. Huang, whose parents are Taiwanese, grew up in Orlando, moved to NYC, and became a lawyer, a hustler, a stand-up, and a restaurateur.

The book’s appeal is Huang’s honest, funny description of his experience growing up Asian-American, and finding both solace and strife in his Chinese heritage. We promise it’s like nothing you’ve ever read.

Like his baos, he’s inimitable.

Fresh Off the Boat is available at amazon.com, $14.
