Hot or Not: Flag Cakes

Have you ever made one of these? We certainly have. These sheet cakes iced with white frosting and topped with strawberry (or raspberry) stripes and blueberry stars are all the rage on the 4th of July...

Tell Us: Is There an Herb You Can't Stand?

We recently made a simple vegetable dish that called for a healthy amount of tarragon. The tarragon was fresh and tender and beautiful — and completely overwhelming. It made us think that, hmm, ma...

Hot or Not? Monogrammed Steak Brand

OK, we need some help here. We have never understood the appeal of a monogrammed steak brand. Is it for the grillmaster who already has everything? Is there some deep satisfaction in burning your init...

Survey: Do You Use Public Grills?

The public grill is a staple at public parks, beaches and forest preserves. They're not usually much to look at, but they're sturdy and simple, albeit sometimes a little rusty. We've always shied away...

Survey: Do You Have a Grill?

So, July is Grilling Month, and we're curious as to how many of you apartment-dwellers have grills of your own. Do you sneak one out onto the fire escape? Or do you have a little more space and a real...

On Birthday Cake for Breakfast

We had several birthdays in the family last weekend, and we're left with quite a lot of birthday cake. Emma's post earlier today on breakfast reminded us of a secret pleasure: birthday cake for breakf...

Summer Vegetable Faceoff: Peas or Asparagus?

Here's a little Thursday fun. What do you prefer - peas or asparagus? Yes, yes - we know that we don't have to choose between them. They are gloriously in season right now, abundant in the farms and m...

Hot or Not: Rotary Garlic Slicer

We're obsessed with all the garlic gadgets on the market. It seems like we see a new one every day! While we pretty much stick to our chef's knife, we are still curious about all these unitaskers - ah...

Hot or Not? Negi Cutter

We came across this recipe for Asparagus Linguine with mint pesto on No Recipes and noticed the cutting tool used to cut the asparagus into julienne strips. It's a Japanese kitchen tool called a negi...

Hot or Not? Ivy In the Kitchen

Wow - we saw this photo of a kitchen draped in ivy over at AT: Los Angeles, and we had to put it to a vote. We're all for herbs and other good kitchen plants in the kitchen, but aesthetics aside, how ...

Top Chef Poll: Who Will Win?

The finale of Top Chef Chicago is tonight. You know what that means... Someone is going home with a hefty supply of Gladware. Who's your pick?...

Survey: What Do You Eat When It's This Hot?

There are record temps in the Midwest and Northeast right now, and we're already wishing for fall. It's not the kind of weather that makes you want to turn on your stove, which is a cruel irony since ...

Sweet Cornbread: Delicious Treat or Vicious Crime Against Southerners?

Southerners take cornbread seriously. There are long impassioned debates about whether or not to include eggs and buttermilk, what kind of fat to use (and how much), and even whether it's best to bake...

Hot or Not? A Dish That Ran Away With the Spoon

From Flavour Design Studio, the makers of the Buddha Bowl, now comes and the dish ran away with the spoon - a very important addition, perhaps, to your summer ice cream plans? Don't let your spoon get...

Hot or Not? Spoon Scale

We've been seeing this spoon scale around the food blogs lately, and while it's nice to think of being able to measure with such accuracy, we're curious about who would measure their cinnamon, baking ...

Survey: Do You Like Being Called a Foodie?

I'll fess up: I can't stand the word. I'm not sure exactly why, but I think it has something to do with the diminutive "ie" ending. (I also prefer my vegetables to be called vegetables and not vegg...

Vote: How Do You Like Your Coleslaw?

Between now and Labor Day, all of us will eat our fair share of coleslaw. Most slaws we see have mayonnaise in them, but some are mustard-based or simply tossed with vinegar. We like them all.Click b...

Survey: Have You Campari-ed Lately?

Ah, Campari. Campari brings herbal excellence to grapefruit sorbet and slides into some soda water for an inspired aperitivo. Yet, we must admit, we forget Campari's excellence and do not serve it o...

What Is Your Dream Dining Setup?

We talk a lot about cooking, but frankly, dining and eating is just as important to our development as cooks; we love the final satisfaction of sitting down to a well-laid table. Do you dream of spac...

Survey: What Was the First Liquor You Ever Bought?

Do you remember the first time you bought a bottle of liquor? We were goody-two-shoes in college and really didn't touch the stuff. Then it was a very cheap bottle of brandy for baking, in early cooki...

Memorial Day Cooking Survey: Indoors or Outdoors?

Memorial Day is the traditional start of picnic season, which often feels like a cruel joke in Ohio and New York; more often than not it's drizzly and cold. We're curious - what are your Memorial Day ...

Survey: How Big Is Your Garden?

It's Garden Month and we're curious about how many of you are gardening this season and how much space you have. We only have containers but we do have some outside space, so we got a little crazy wit...

Survey: What's the Best Way to Store Leftovers?

We employ all kinds of methods when wrapping up leftovers. We save take-out containers and re-use them, we ball things up in aluminum foil, and we've been known to stick an entire stock pot half-fille...

Hot or Not? Microplane Box Grater

Here is something new and exciting - four Microplanes in one! This box grater has four of Microplane's patented stainless-steel cutting blades in one tool. We are huge fans of the Microplane graters...

Tell Us: What Should Our First Meal in a New Kitchen Be?

We're moving into this kitchen tomorrow. Well, the apartment that holds this kitchen. And right after we make our bed, we'll start unpacking our pots, pans, and plates. It's been a long, hard, slog o...
