I haven’t — nor will I ever — read Kris Jenner‘s new cookbook, “In The Kitchen With Kris: A Kollection Of Kardashian-Jenner Family Favorites,” but that’s never stopped me from serving up a snarky opinion. This over-publicized Hollywood how-to written, ahem, by the matriarch of the Kardashian clan is 300 pages of her own recipes […]
this Zagat post with you since I am a HUGE fan of New York’s Hudson Valley. Besides my gazillion trips to the Culinary Institute of America for bootcamps and one-day classes (they really should give me a diploma by now), I plan my spring through fall forays around the Rhinebeck Farmers Market. It is, hands […]
I ran into an Epicurious post today on Facebook that professed the web culinistas’ love for Costco. The article – 14 Things We Love About Costco — ran in November, so why it appeared today in my newsfeed is a mystery, but it did strike a cord. Because I, too, feel the need to show […]
Editors note: The correct pronounciation is “I’ll have the Saa-lod Nee-Swaz, he’ll have the Nyokkee.” Face it, we all have a couple of ethnic foods we can’t pronounce. I’ve butchered “mascarpone” for years by referring to the Italian-style cream cheese as “mar-scapone.” And that seems rich since I hail from the Land of the Dropped […]
This is an ode to onion dip that I wrote on Dec. 30, 2012 for the Boston Herald‘s food blog. I felt the need to re-post it here for two reasons: My grandmother, who died last April at 101, used to serve Lipton Onion Soup Dip to my little brother and me every New Year’s […]
It’s been awhile since my last post. But, you see, I’ve helped to start a business. Our new venture is called Goat Cottage Farm. It’s a gluten-free, dairy-free bakery in Westport. That’s right, gluten-free and me. I apprenticed at Flour for crying out loud. My partner in this adventure into the land of sorghum flour […]
Our waiter couldn’t believe it was my family’s first time at Wright’s Farm. “You’re kidding me,” said Dan as he scanned our table of 11 this afternoon. “You’ve never been here?” Nope. Guess it was about time! Wright’s Farm, located in the village of Harrisville, is a Rhode Island institution that has served up family-style […]
Word from the Twitterverse and Facebook is that it’s #Caturday. So in honor of this special day for our felines (are there greeting cards involved?), I break from regularly scheduled foodie programming to present 8 Random Facts About Pippa and Emma. 1. They are rescue cats. Pippa’s shelter name was Liv (as in Liv Tyler) and […]
I’m a child of the 70s, but you would think I grew up during the Depression because I refuse to waste food. People often tell me to just “get rid of it” after I complain about the leftover pie or cake that tempts me during the day. But I can’t. I just refuse. Eat week-old […]
My girl, Paige, and I judged a benefit holiday gingerbread competition yesterday at the Boston Christmas Festival at the Seaport World Trade Center. And I don’t know who was more wide-eyed when perusing the yuletide confections. My 4-year-old partner, decked for the task with her name badge and clipboard, loved all the free cookies and […]
