This festival – in the form of the gallery below – is of my own making, thanks to the December 27 opening of The Taco Truck at the Princeton Shopping Center. I’ve been there a few times so far, most recently to check out the nachos for a Packet In The Kitchen recipe column I’m working … Continue reading
What an amazing day in Paris with 1.5 million or so demonstrators, plus many more throughout France. I honor you all.
There’s another cozy Indoor Market this Saturday, details are below, and please note the addition of a fifth market on March 1, at Tre Piani Restaurant on Rockingham Row at Forrestal Village.

I am on the email list for Despaña Princeton, so when I got an email from them in early December about ordering Roscón de reyes – King Cake – for Epiphany (which is today), I couldn’t resist – I’d always wanted to try one of these! They are also popular for pre-Lenten celebrating during Mardi Gras … Continue reading

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

Like cheddar with a Parmesan … Continue reading
Wherever you are and whatever you do, I wish you the happiest of holidays and all the best in the new year. Be nice – to yourself and to others. A little compassion in this world would go a long way. Peace.
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
