While on vacation in London a few years ago I fell in love with Ottolenghi. Ottolenghi is a popular takeaway restaurant mini-chain in London that has a wide range of foods with many flavours inspired by the Middle East. While in London I had a great lunch there one […]
If sweet potato gnocchi was a song, a few years back it would’ve been my JAM! I actually blogged about this dish back in 2009 and the recipe dates back to 2005… so it’s been in my brain for a while now.
I realized a few weeks back that I hadn’t made […]
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.
Mussels are something that I make when I have the apartment to myself. My […]
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?

So one of my fave “celebrity chefs”, Ina Garten has a new cookbook out called . I’ve had good times pouring through it and deciding what to make. The other day I was craving a nice big bowl of pasta so I gravitated towards her “Weeknight Bolognese” […]
I’m forever on the hunt for amazing macaroni and cheese recipes. Sure, macaroni and cheese is easy enough to make but I’m always looking to find the perfect ration of pasta to cheese to bechamel. My last attempt at mac and cheese was pretty lackluster so I wanted to step up […]
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.
