If you plan on strutting around in nothing more than a tightly pack mawashi (sumo g-sling) this summer take some dietary advice from the dudes who make their living as male bikini models. There is a l...
It is said that every cloud has a silver lining. Given our current economic situation, wouldn’t it be great if that silver lining came in the form of people taking time to get reconnected with thei...
When it comes to leftovers, the world splits itself into three groups (to immediately digress, there are so many things in the world that divide people into groups — mostly two groups, a.k.a. ha...
Crostata is a favorite dessert of our family. It's a simple and basic but extremely flavorful dessert consumed in Italy and the region of Puglia, with the specific coastal town of Vieste being the tow...
I am one of the biggest proponents of breakfast that you will ever find. I work two blocks from my apartment, and still get up two hours before I have to be at work in order to make a substantive brea...

This dish was inspired by a Wolfgang Puck roast salmon recipe I found browsing Food Network’s database. I altered the recipe a bit to suit the ingredients I had on hand and made it tonight for dinne...
I have been saving this still life for a very special post and a very special day. It is the perfect cake for afternoon tea, and with my house guests leaving tomorrow, I thought it would be an appropr...
This Northern cook is obsessed with Southern food. Fried green tomatoes, grits, pimento cheese, vinegar pie, buttermilk biscuits and hummingbird cake, I like it all. Southern food, like all traditiona...
A while back I transformed the surface of my refrigerator into a giant chalkboard and began to record what I cooked in the kitchen and harvested from our garden. It was a handy way to plan meals and t...
