Hi. Just a few links I wanted to share with you all.
I contributed this delicious and unusually easy recipe over at Serious Eats. I’m kinda of proud of my photo. Not so long ago, the Serious Eats post photo issue filled me with dread and shame.
I wrote this piece about the weight aspect of my [...]
I have been doing a lot of cooking these past few days. There have been pie doughs, and six of them. And puffs. And the all important make-ahead gravy. I made homemade crackers (recipe to come!) and two types of pie filling (apple and cranberry). In just a few hours, it’s off to the Fair [...]
I admit that I have been cheating on this blog with my almost-ready-to-show-you blog. I’m sorry.
I’m glad to see that this number is down from two days ago, though, of course, I remain hopeful that it will soon dip below 150.
During my run yesterday, I felt the strongest that I have since I’ve recovered form [...]
It’s been a hectic week. I loved hosting my sister, though I was less focused on working and working out than I would have liked. I’m one meal away from having my eating assignments for the month wrapped up, and I’m looking forward to a weekend of mostly home cooking.
Another bit of excitement from the [...]
I spent a chunk of yesterday feeling my way around the new blog I’m working on and learning to use Flickr with some expert help from the awesomely web savvy and talented Marisa of Food in Jars. It took up enough time that I never ended up getting over here!
Oh, and I also spent part [...]
Today, we should get our lens for the new digital camera. Finally, we can start snapping photos for the still-in-development new food blog. It feels like Christmas Eve.
I have been acting like a crazy person throwing pretty looking ingredients in the freezer, for safe keeping, until the camera is set up to capture it. For [...]
On Saturday, my friend Sarah told me she planned to make a butternut squash and pasta recipe, this one from Giada De Laurentiis. Sarah saw her make it on the Today Show. You know how it is when a chef demos a dish on a morning show: all the prep is done, sets of [...]
I’ve been out at restaurants the past two nights, so that’s no surprise. I’m feeling pretty accepting and neutral about it, leaving me without a whole lot to say. The restaurant meals were for work, so they can’t be discussed either.
Why don’t you read my blog for yesterday’s Philadelphia Magazine Restaurant Club newsletter? Click here. [...]
Earlier this week, I cleared my calendar for today for cooking. Not because I was under water with recipe development assignments, but because I wanted to spend the day cooking for my family. I had two main goals:
1) Create ravioli out of tissue thin-sheets of homemade pasta dough, so the edges were delicate, not clumpy, [...]
It just so happens I have a trio of posts appearing on Web sites near you today.
At PhillyMag.com, I tell chefs how to behave.
At SeriousEats.com, I cook up a casserole that was a time consuming pain in the tush, but well worth the effort due to its deliciousness.
And I contributed it a guest post to [...]
