Pork, its the other white meat?  Right?  Not sure if that statement still rings true, but for some reason I’ve been eating a lot of it lately. I’m going to blame this on the Slow Cooker.  Basically I’m still addicted to the pot and in addition to great soups and stews, this thing makes some [...]

Get your heads out of the gutter people, I’m talking about The Crock Pot!  It was a very merry christmas to me with a brand new shiny crock pot from my main man.  I used to have a crock pot when I lived in SF, but ever since moving to his tiny apartment in Amsterdam [...]

I’m having a baby. An Italian baby. It’s about 7 lbs 5 oz and I’m carrying it around like a spare tire. I clasp onto my mid-section and am amazed with the chunky flesh that fills my hands. This is one large food baby. It’s being born from two weeks of Italian food consumption. Pizza, [...]

I too, like Hilary, take on a “when in Rome” attitude with food associated by location.  And no more so then when I am back in the states. I was in the US for a month for work. Spending time in Los Angeles, their attitude is more toward the healthy living, healthy food. It’s easy [...]

Sometimes I think I’m a better cook than I actually am.  Since I’m totally self-taught, I really only cook by recipes.  I’m really good at following directions which make me  a good executioner but I don’t have the vision that most chefs have, the instinctual playfulness of pairing ingredients together that creates a spectacular flavor [...]

And Speaking of Ugly Vegetables…by Lauren

December 17, 2010

Hilary’s last post got me thinking about ugly vegetables, well actually intimidating vegetables in general.  Up until about two years ago I hardly ever cooked with vegetables because I never really grew up eating any except for potatoes and corn.  Since I met Hilary though, a whole vegetarian world has opened up to me.  I’ve [...]
