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

December’s Best Bites
Happy New Year everyone! December is maybe the most delicious month of the year, what with holiday meals, special dinners out, and home baked goodies. I didn’t really do any holiday baking this year, however, thanks to a bum knee (slowly improving), so I indulged in more purchased treats, including – God help me – various appetizers (I … Continue reading

September Best Bites – a mash-up of home and out and about
While I took a break for a few days thanks to that flu, I still enjoyed some nice late summer meals in September, including lunches at Seasons 52 and Ricky’s Thai, and a nice dinner at the newish La Rouge 23 in Allentown – fantastic wings and fries there (and more), my review should be in … Continue reading
A thank you to Pat Tanner
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
February Best Bites – and one very salty pot pie
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
October Best Bites
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
Jerk has its day at Little Island Cuisine
Jamaican jerk places have been popping up in the last couple of years, but for some reason I’ve only recently realized that! One such is the endearing Little Island Cuisine, which I discovered at the Saturday Montgomery Farmers Market this summer. They started doing the market because people weren’t finding the restaurant, which is tucked away with several … Continue reading
New hours for La Costeñita in Hillsborough (original review pasted in below)

Harbingers of Spring
My Good Taste story about chefs’ ideas for spring ingredients and dishes is on the Packet Magazine website now, and the print edition came out this past week. I love hearing from our local chefs on topics like this, and home cooks will find plenty of inspiration for their own kitchen, too. A couple of … Continue reading
