I learned recently that if you have a stovetop espresso maker that it's best to put water just below the boiling point in the reservoir so as not to overheat the grinds. This little trick (which takes an extra 20 seconds with an electric kettle) has made an enormous difference for the taste of my coffee. I'd love to try roasting my own beans sometime!

I've heard that the way to get around permits, etc. is to have a suggested donation for the meal. This makes me think of another place where a lady is testing recipes for a cookbook she's writing. She sends out dates about a month in advance and it's first-RSVP first-served with a suggested donation of 30 € per person. I believe it's in her apartment as well, though she's mentioned picnicing in a nearby park as well. Trend Watch: Restaurants in Homes |

In Paris, there are several places like this, Hidden Kitchen being the most popular. I've never been, but I know several people who have and they say it's marvelous. It's a couple where one cooks and the other focuses on the wine, and they serve ten courses with pairings for each dish in their palatial home in the center of the city. One hundred euros is out of my budget for the moment, but I'd love to check it out some day. Trend Watch: Restaurants in Homes |

I made this yesterday and it came out wonderfully! It really is like a French toast casserole but not sticky sweet. I halved everything and I could not have been happier with the results! I'm heating up the other half in the oven for us right now. Can't wait! Recipe: Apple & Cinnamon Whole Grain Breakfast Strata Best Healthy Casseroles Contest |
