One of my food blogger communities recently started the finish this sentence game: you know you are a food blogger when [insert funny response here]. My response? You eat in a manner completely different from what you write about on your blog. The food equivalent of the Facebook distortion effect we have all heard about in parenting and teen social psychology circles. Post about decadent brownies, eat a salad. Instruct your readers on lavish, four-course family meals, order a pizza. … [Read more...]

giving thanks: pairing wine with turkey and the trimmings
The American Thanksgiving: a food lovers favorite holiday. All the family love, gratitude, and joy of the holiday season, with far fewer demands on our time and sanity. We are able to focus almost completely on the meal. The turkey, the trimmings, and in my house, the wine pairings.

this Halloween, host a trick-or-treating party
Fall is in full swing. The kids planned their Halloween costumes back in August, but luckily, the annual neighborhood trick-or-treating party requires far less planning and effort.

Plenty are worth the trip from the city or nearby New Jersey towns, and Ryan DePersio’s The Kitchen Step is no exception. The Kitchen Step does "step" away from the elevated classic Italian of chef DePersio’s highly regarded Fascino, moving us towards a more modern eclectic menu and vibe. While the ever-present farm-to-table trend makes an appearance, chef de cuisine Robert Carnero doesn’t let the same old, same old dominate the offerings. … [Read more...]
inspired entertaining at home: mozza at home cookbook review
In case you missed it, I read cookbooks like they are novels, cover to cover. When Mozza at Home by Nancy Silverton entered my view, I knew I would be spending my summer weekends at the pool immersed in stories of romantic Italian dinners al fresco. To my pleasant surprise, I also spent my summer learning a few things from a woman known as an accomplished chef and restaurateur, but loved as an entertaining master. Mozza at Home was more than just a cookbook full of delicious recipes. … [Read more...]
Roasted vegetable and goat cheese pasta salad
This is my go-to recipe for fall entertaining, so it was time to share it with all of you. I am pretty sure I first found this recipe 15 years ago on the side of a Gladware storage container. My attempts to find the original source were futile, so here's the version I keep in my Evernote recipe file. Not claiming full originality here, but hey, it's pasta salad. … [Read more...]
