It’s the fall of AAF! After an awesome session at AAF Buffalo (thanks to Luminus Media for writing such a fun recap of the event) earlier this month, I’ll be in AAF North Dakota for a talk in November. In the Fargo area? Be sure to join me for an exciting lunch and learn. As […]
I am an avid visitor of the greenmarket. On Sundays, my regular routine includes a stop at the Carroll Gardens market, where I pick up goodies to sustain me during the week. Right now, gorgeous tomatoes grace the market, and during these few weeks, they are firm and lush, with no graininess, making these particular […]

Recently, my friend Michelle asked me to help out with our friend Virginia’s baby shower by cooking some items for the party. Of course, as someone who enjoys both cooking and entertaining, I was happy to oblige. Now you know that I love a good quiche or tart for a party, since pie-like foods are […]
I love cooking and I love photography—but sometimes I don’t have time to share my photos on the blog. I’m delving back into my photo back-log to bring you posts about things that I cooked and photographed awhile ago. One of my standbys (in the days of cooking meat) was turkey meatloaf. I love easy, […]
Now as you know, not every cooking experiment goes to plan, and not every recipe is a success. I recently tried this recipe from The New York Times for a tofu mushroom quiche, but alas, my tweaks did not turn out a runaway success. (Sometimes you win with your tweaks and sometimes you lose.) I […]
Regular readers know that I’m big into quiche. To me, it’s just such an easy food to throw together with whatever vegetables you have around the house. It looks fancy, but it’s really easy and pretty fast to put together. A few months ago, The New York Times featured a recipe for a tomato quiche that sounded […]
In case you haven’t already figured this out, I love food. I love cooking it and I love eat it. I’m always looking for ways to improve upon flavors and textures, so even though I’ve written about veggie burgers here, here, and here, I want to share with you a new iteration. This time, I […]
I always find it soothing to do a little cooking after a long, hard week. Here’s what I’ve been making: Cashew “Cheese” I’d gotten some goodies at Nuts.com, and I was excited to try out this recipe for cashew “cheese”. It’s not bad, but I think next time I will have to soak the cashews […]
I’ve been meaning to cook with the farro (an ancient variety of wheat-related grain) I bought a few weeks ago, so I decided to make a risotto-style dish with what I had lying around. Farro is pretty easy to prepare, and I find that with enough water to start, you don’t need to pre-soak it. […]
