My grandmother uses the same Settlement Cookbook recipe! My whole family loves her old fashioned cheesecake and my father won't eat cheesecake made by anyone else, anywhere. She uses pot cheese and then makes that very hard step easier by using this mixer attachment (Kitchenaid doesn't produce it anymore as far as I know): http://www.amazon.com/K45cs-Kitchen-Aid-Colander-Sieve/dp/B004J0D8EC Recipe: Graham Cracker Crusted and Pistachio Flecked Cheese Torte Flag this comment	4/5/11 3:27 PM
Moving to an alcove studio tomorrow (!) and i've been looking for a sample photo like #4 for inspiration for awhile now. Exactly what I'll probably end up doing. Studio Solution: Curtained Beds Flag this comment	1/24/11 2:05 PM
I'll have to try this one. Looks just like the delectable Cuban sandwich from Sophie's Cuban (NYC small chain near home and work) I eat at least once a week. And Art - yes, we NY-ers love Cuban food! We also have the Cuban-Chinese hybrid restaurants when you really want to spice things up. Recipe: Cuban Sandwich \| Apartment Therapy The Kitchn Flag this comment	4/26/10 11:58 PM
My roommate and I made scallion pancakes using that recipe for our big Chinese New Year party last year and they were a huge hit, just like in the restaurants here in NYC Chinatown. You can prepare the dough ahead of time and layer them between saran wrap. Pretty sure we did that the day before and they still turned out fine What Recipes Do You Want to Try This Month?

just made this, no fishy smell in my kitchen, just yummy aromatics! Cooked in exactly the same amount of time as the couscous I did to go with it. Start to finish, with vegetable prep wasn't much more than 20 or 25 min. Definitely making this style recipe again Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| Recipe: Halibut, Spinach, and Tomatoes in Foil Packets Flag this comment	8/31/09 9:57 PM
Also, don't be afraid to ask the people around you for advice. Just be sure to tell them you don't American-ized versions of anything. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| 5 Tips On Finding The Best Products At Ethnic Markets Flag this comment	8/3/09 1:03 AM
Cook-Do and House Food Pi dan tofu sauce (or pidan dofu if you speak Mandarin) is great. Use both to make shortcut dinner that tastes authentic every few weeks. If buying ramen, splurge and spend $1.00/pkg (or sometimes $1.50) on the ones with fresh noodles in the refridgerated section. No comparison. Or buy miso paste, fresh noodles, scallions, kamaboko (white/pink fish cake) and make your own!

Make these cookies and you will rethink white chocolate: http://elise.com/recipes/archives/006154brandied_cranberry_white_chocolate_chip_cookies.php (I did for mother's day and my family couldn't stop talking about the rich flavor.)

that chocolate brown kitchen isn't small at all, by nyc standards. I would do anything for that much storage!! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| Five Small Kitchens from This Old House Flag this comment	2/17/09 3:07 PM

My grandmother makes a gigantic Baked Alaska for Thanksgiving dessert every year. Gigantic meaning she uses the stainless steel bowl from her KitchenAid mixer to shape the ice cream. Totally beats pumpkin pie. (Although she makes that too, for tradition's sake.) This is a spectacular dessert and a miracle of food science.

I head to Hale and Hearty for lunch at least once a week! (I check online for the menu and go only when they have my favorite soups.) And yes, great inspiration. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn \| Soup Inspiration: The Hale and Hearty MenuNew York Flag this comment	2/4/09 8:04 PM
try the cantaloupe sorbet at Cones (on bleecker st in nyc), it gets close to some of that italian gelato you are talking about! Virtual CSA Box: Cantaloupe Flag this comment	7/15/07 9:32 AM

I have that hanging lamp that's in your breakfast nook! Amazing target find at maybe 19.99!?!? Except I use it as the main lighting in my dorm room at school. (talk about small living...) #4: Delight's Cozy Nest for Three Flag this comment	4/12/07 9:49 PM
I never ever would have thought to color code my books. While I like my alpha by author shtick, it's so much prettier your way. I might just have a weekend project now... I love the design of both your sleep and dining niches. Beautiful headboard. #6 - Melissa's Pocket Magic Flag this comment	4/11/07 11:01 PM
The wallpaper in the dining room is so amazing! I would never think to mix white walls, silver-ish chairs and an oak table like that but it's great. Inspiring space. If only I could get rid of all my stuff and have that kind of serentiy in the home. #2 - Aad's Homage To His Old Dwelling Flag this comment	4/10/07 5:16 PM
