Top Chef: Cold War (with a side trip to cJ’s Miami)
Also known as “the claws come out.” Miami Detour As soon as I saw that Michelle Bernstein was going to be the guest judge on this episode of Top Chef, I knew there could be some tension since both Michelle and Andrea are chefs in Miami. Andrea starts the day in a “good place” but as soon as she sees Michelle she gets super tense and kind of bitter. Andrea says she’s not so sure if you sat down at Michelle’s restaurant and hers that one would be so much better than the other. I’m sorry to say, Andrea, that…

So I decided to put my "semi-homemade" hat on and see what I could whip up just from what was in the pantry.

It was luscious, rich and hearty… with a touch of sweetness from the squash, and nuttiness from the brown butter. Actually, it tasted sort of like inside-out butternut squash ravioli. Yum. Quick... -
Sunday Dinner: OMG What’s That? Soup
Posted on 2010.01.18 | No CommentsI’ve been in love with Fine Cooking’s Cauliflower Soup with Marcona Almond and Piquillo Pepper Relish since finding it in the December issue last year and whipping up a batch for the holidays. Who wouldn’t love a recipe that’s super easy to whip up but tastes elegant and exquisite? With the added bonus of being “customizable” to taste with your personal amount of relish?

The only question was, would the color... -

Welcome 2010!
Posted on 2010.01.10 | 1 CommentGoals for the year: Blog regularly — and connect with others who love food Learn to bake — and give lots of the goodies away to others Cook at home more — and have people over to share in the dinner party love Indulging in reading about and watching TV shows and movies about food I mean really, it's all about food. Having spent some time reflecting – I've realized that my life pretty much revolves around two things: food, and the Internet. Well, that and work, but the idea is to spend more time doing the things I enjoy.... -

I wanted to make smaller cookies so I went with heaping teaspoonfuls...
