As you can see from the shot of my pantry at the beginning of this post, I am in dire need of a cure. I have managed to clean my pantry to a certain degree but I still don't have a place for the c...

I cleaned out my spice cabinet (many herbs with no aroma had to go) and my baking cabinet. I also tackled the freezer but it still looks cluttered. My pantry is the biggest problem and I haven't s...

I have been searching for the perfect breakfast in bed tray. This is a nice idea but I usually have more than two things on the tray..they need to make one with legs and more slots..Tea, juice and ...

I LOVE duck but I rarely cook it. I do think of it for special occasions and I have had great success with Nigella's recipe for duck magret in Nigella Bites. A simple, succelent meal.

Thanks for helping to unravel the mysteries of miso. I just recently randomly purchased some yellow miso (unsure of which color would be best) and had amazing results using it in this chicken soup...

I wish I had seen this earlier. I just blogged about the Joy of Cooking pudding recipe, http://www....

After years of roasting turkey the ordinary way, I brined my first turkey last year. The results were worth the trouble.. You can check out my pre-Thanksgiving prep and photo of turkey in brine. I ...

I had the same yearning last holiday season when I spied that mill at Williams-Sonoma. Alas, a desire unfulfilled. It is a real beauty but it is so true that a microplane zester does a fine job. ...

What an inspired way to use butternut squash. It sounds positively delectable!

They are odd-looking but tasty. What I find peculiar is that I bought mine in June at Union Square Market..Is the season longer? We really liked this recipe adapted from Jamie Oliver:

Eggs! I could not live without them! They are essential to so many things.

I am so glad to see that I am not the only one (aside from Alice Waters) who feels the need to travel with some food. Traveling prepared is the best way to avoid fast food, sometimes the only opti...

I am a recent convert to oatmeal, having grown up on farina. I am raising my son to enjoy a bowl of it for breakfast and it is a great, kid-friendly way to start the day:

I am familiar with Fit for Life because my dad was a big fan back in the 80's and he did manage to lose weight on it. I still can't get the image of the human nursing on a cow out of my mind but it...
