Bet you thought this month’s special recipe would be that gorgeous rib roast of beef I made right before Christmas. But instead I’m going with this Pan-Fried Camembert Sandwich from the BBC, such a simple little thing, but with a big payoff in luxurious flavor. (Click here for the recipe.)

LiLLiPiES Bakery, a longtime fixture and favorite at area farmers’ markets and cafés, will open for business on July 1.

The historic Washington Crossing Inn (originally a home, dating to 1817) has upped their culinary game by hiring executive chef Mark Valenza. I first ran into Mark when I reviewed Triumph Brewing Company in Princeton in early 2002, one of my first-ever reviews. I fell in love with his food then, and continued to enjoy … Continue reading

Over the years, the restaurant has been the site of many of my family celebrations and dinners, including a couple of parties in their private 3rd floor room. (Would that be … 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.
