Fat Tuesday, Indeed.
What a better start to the year 2012 than a trip to a city on my list of places to visit for awhile, New Orleans! Last month my sister and I flew to New Orleans for a four day food trip (1/5 -1/8) and it is the ultimate foodie city. The cuisine in New Orleans is distinctively … Read more
All I want for Christmas is Kitchen Supplies
I finally purchased one of these! Merry Christmas to me! It’s been on my wish list for a very very long time. Recently I discovered a charming kitchen appliance shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn called Whisk.

It was a relaxing Saturday with a … Read more

The Wild Wild Southwest
The idea of going to Texas happened while walking across the Williamsburg Bridge after having dinner with my friend Anneliese at Diner recently. And by the way Diner is delicious and where I had my first grass-fed beef burger or a beef burger in a very very long time. I was blown away with the … Read more
A Gastronomic haven in Vermont
I do not make six figures a year but I get compensated with so many wonderful experiences through the people I meet in my food career. Last weekend, my colleagues and I made a 3 day trip to Vermont, making a visit to a cheese cellar, in time for maple syrup sapping season, beer tasting … Read more
