On October 10, 2011 · 5 Comments

I first wrote about mussels a few months here and it was the first time I had ever made mussels. Since then I have made that recipe a few times and it continues to be delicious.

Now don’t get me wrong, I love a farmers’ market as much as the next girl (or guy). But does anyone else find this whole eating locally and seasonally thing a bit stressful?

A few months ago I was at this great shop in my hood called Culinarium trying to use up a recent Groupon purchase. Culinarium takes the idea of being a “locavore” to another level and only stocks products made/grown in Ontario. For awhile I would buy my bacon there all [...]

On September 10, 2010 · 11 Comments

One of the great things about living in NYC was the access I had to some of the top trend-setting restaurants.  Granted my entry level salary didn’t really allow me to dine at Le Bernardin but I was able to try a lot of the more moderately priced spots.
