Twitter is aflutter with amusing tweets about stocking up with groceries for the coming storm. Are you ready for Snowmageddon? What are your favorite things to eat or drink during a blizzard? (Don’t even think about losing power, in which case all bets are off!) One woman said she’d sent her husband to the supermarket and … Continue reading
I love winter food! And one of my favorite things about it is the idea of slow-roasting a “joint” (albeit usually boneless) of lamb or pork all afternoon. The aroma drives me mad. I mean really, really mad. I can’t resist nipping off little pieces from the edges once it’s been in the oven for a … Continue reading
In spite of December’s surfeit of traditional holiday foods, I still managed to get in a variety of other dishes, including some ethnic finds. The month started with a very good oyster po’boy at ONE 53 for lunch one day when my nephew brought down my months old grand-nephew Sammy for a visit. I ordered several … Continue reading
Just a quick post of two recipes, both from foodnetwork.com, that I had good luck with as part of my Christmas Eve cheese tray. I was trying to throw some lower-fat options into the mix, although I still had plenty of decadent cheeses, including a surprise hit, Trader Joe’s Unexpected Cheddar. Like cheddar with a Parmesan … Continue reading
The Pollan Family Table will be discussed in at least one of my In The Kitchen columns in the new year, but I wanted to draw your attention to it now, as I think it’s a great holiday gift item. It’s one of those “well-rounded” cookbooks, full of delicious food to feed your family throughout the … Continue reading
This is the time of year that the food industry releases surveys about dining trends and what consumers are interested in eating/drinking, whether at home or out. I always love to hear from the Specialty Food Association, which puts on the Fancy Food Show each summer (New York) and winter (San Francisco). A recent e-newsletter from … Continue reading
I had an eventful November, including a very nice Thanksgiving dinner with family at the new Seasons 52 at MarketFair. My “official” review of this new hotspot comes out in a few weeks, I’ve been three times now (counting an early media dinner), and have yet to be disappointed. Others apparently agree, the place was packed … Continue reading
There are things you can do ahead of time to prepare for Thanksgiving and other holiday dinners (besides make reservations at a restaurant!). Some of these things involve the food itself – scroll down for a make-ahead gravy recipe and give thanks if you don’t have to wrestle with that task on turkey day. But another … Continue reading
October was another busy month of delicious tastes, both at home and out on the dining trail. Besides the places I’ve already posted about (Like Peasants Grill and Seasons 52), here’s a gallery of the rest. I’d bookmarked a recipe I found online for a crock pot dish of Cornish game hens cooked with fig preserves … Continue reading
If you are up on the local (or even national) news at all, you’ll know why I decided it was time to pay my first visit to The Peasant Grill in Hopewell. Call it a little show of foodie solidarity. I’d never been before, although I’d always heard good things, so now was the time to rectify that … Continue reading
