I can’t let April pass without celebrating Grilled Cheese Month. Grilled cheese is probably my favorite sandwich. It is, at least, the only one I regularly make. I like mine with tomato, and sometimes add bacon if I have any that’s already cooked, although for one of the sandwiches pictured below I did cook up some … Continue reading
They’re baaaack! Held every Saturday from 9:00am-1:00pm, rain or shine, the West Windsor Community Farmers Market (WWCFM) is proud to kick off its twelfth season on Saturday, May 2. (The last one is on the Saturday before Thanksgiving.) From their release: With 15 farms and 11 artisan food and natural product vendors, the Market is well known for … Continue reading
I’m backed up this week, with several writing deadlines for print articles, but wanted to at least post photos of some of the delicious dishes I enjoyed last month. A high point was a cassoulet dinner put on by Carolyn Edelmann, with luscious lemon tarts by Pat Tanner for dessert. So, with no more commenting, here’s a slideshow, … Continue reading

Spring may have arrived with snow, but soon enough we’ll be frolicking through the meadows. Those meadows always make me think of lamb, which is usually my choice for Easter dinner (and, of course, it’s popular for Passover, too). But in a recent article in the New York Times, Julia Moskin bemoaned America’s reluctance to embrace lamb. It … Continue reading
When I started writing about food for the Princeton Packet, Pat Tanner had already been at it for several years. She’s now a top New Jersey food journalist, writing for many illustrious publications (see her website for the latest places her articles have appeared). Her plate is so full (ouch!), in fact, that she recently … Continue reading
I was so sad to hear of Michael Graves’ death last week. I couldn’t help but think how much his architecture and product designs changed our aesthetic landscape (at least the man-made part of it) in America. From prominent buildings to everyday items like that famous Alessi teakettle (or the Target hangers in my closet), he lent … Continue reading
(This article appeared in the February 27 print edition of the Packet, but never went online, so I am publishing it below.) Bostock Rocked My World I’m not exactly sure where I first came across bostock, but I believe it was at either salon.com or the kitchn.com. This take on baked French toast does seem … Continue reading
February may have been short on days (and temperature), but not on delicious foods to enjoy. From trying the limited edition Red Velvet Oreos (not as sweet as I feared, actually liked them better than the original, which I don’t care for), to working more vegetables into my diet (thanks to a visit to a … Continue reading
I laud the South Jersey Hot Chefs for their mutual support alliance, which keeps their independently owned restaurants vital. As their website states, “We are locally owned, independent restaurants that are chef driven by passionate culinary professionals dedicated to providing great food and great service. In almost all cases, you will find an owner present during … Continue reading
