Here’s a slightly edited/updated Cinco de Mayo In The Kitchen column rerun, from 2009, in honor of this year’s Saturday holiday. Unlike then, it’s now possible to find tacos al pastor in some local establishments (Two Sevens and Tacoria, for instance), and it is still one of my favorite casual Mexican dishes. The photo here … Continue reading
For me, it’s the end of an era. After nineteen years, it turns out my most recent In The Kitchen column was my last piece for the Packet. Their freelance budget has been cut once again, and my time with them is over. I think my editor felt worse about this than I do. It … Continue reading
Here’s my April In The Kitchen column. Time to get out there and forage for wild greens! http://www.centraljersey.com/lifestyle/in-the-kitchen-get-wild-this-spring/article_72cd2176-3dc4-11e8-927a-a7f362e5f4f2.html
I’ve been terrible about not posting on this blog, it’s coming up on four months now. Apologies to my readers who don’t catch me on Facebook (where – be warned – I also rail against current events), but here’s a link to my March In The Kitchen column for the Princeton Packet. And happy Spring … Continue reading
Extra! Extra! Savory Apple Recipes. As promised in Friday’s In The Kitchen column for the Packet, here are a few extra recipes direct from local chefs. First of all, mea culpa, I failed to include my very first chef response, from Jonathan White at Bobolink Dairy & Bakehouse, who reported, “When we roast a pig in … Continue reading
Pasta Penang, I hardly knew ye. To be honest, I never did get around to trying the Pasta Penang that had been on the Main Street Bistro menu for many years. That enduring favorite, along with many others (see gallery below), are bittersweet memories now that one of Princeton’s favorite dining destinations has closed after … Continue reading
On Restaurant Reviews, Anonymous or Not (and more) I started reviewing restaurants at the very start of 2002. And it was a good gig for the next 15 years. But now those days are over, and I’m okay with that. The budgetary considerations on meal costs (which the Packet reimbursed me for) simply became too much … Continue reading
Recipe of the Month-Lamb Riblets (okay, last month). I am finding it so hard to write about food with all of the worrisome things going on in the U.S. lately. But I persevere because, hey, a girl’s gotta eat, and keep up her strength (ha) for the revolution! So, here’s what I made for a … Continue reading
Farmers Market season is coming soon! The fourteenth season for West Windsor Community Farmers Market starts on Saturday May 6 at 9:00am at the Vaughn Drive Commuter Lot in West Windsor (off Alexander Road). With sixteen regional farms, twelve artisan food and natural product vendors, weekly community groups, live music, special events and cooking demonstrations, the WWCFM continues … Continue reading
Recipe of the Month – Tartiflette I read about this dish, which was new to me, in a memoir by a transplanted American living in France. (Samantha Vérant’s book, How To Make a French Family, is coming out in April.) Rather than try to save the recipe in the eBook, I clipped two other recipes from the … Continue reading
