Veal and peas from Providence, R.I.'s The Blue Grotto, divorce cakes and a new pasta alternative from the sea – that and more in this week's roundup.

• The Providence Journal shares a recipe that's both rich and fresh for spring: Vitello con Piselli (veal with peas).
• The Boston Globe says kelp noodles are the new anti-pasta. Try them in linguine with mussels.
• Divorce cakes: tacky or cleansing?
• The Chicago Tribune's Monica Eng, nominated for a James Beard award for "Morality Bites," an account of an "unpleasant pilgrimage to bear witness to the death of every kind of animal I ate," has been reassigned from the food desk to investigative reporting. In one of her last culinary dispatches, she explores the rise in home coffee brewing over visiting the local cafe. Check out brewing tips, alternatives to automatic drip and recipes for Coffee Ice Cream Soda and Cold-Brewed Coffee Syrup. We'll miss Eng's food coverage and wish her best of luck.
