for those complaining about the amount of butter, adjust it. but really, this serves 2-4. if you go with the 4 servings that is only a little more than 1T butter per serving. not exactly swimming in oil.

sounds great, and i love the simplicity of ingredients and preparation. and it also sounds endlessly adaptable! awesome template for red sauce!

hmm. well, they still don't work for me. must be something funny with my browser. oh well.

as you continue to work out the bugs in the new design, could you please set it up so that when you click on a picture in an assortment of pictures that you are highlighting on the page, the whole page doesn't reload. that way, once you have viewed the series, you don't have to click back through 12 pages to get to the main page you started from.

it would also be great if you updated the housetours so that you can just use the arrow key on your keyboard to move through the slideshow, instead of having to click to a new page for each picture.

for years i have used only freshly ground pepper, and it goes in almost everything. i eat it out of hand sometimes, as i just love the taste. i wish there were candles with the smell of black pepper as i adore it.

but i use all sorts of spices too. if anything, i over spice my foods, but i love complexity in my foods. it took me a good two years living in japan to come to appreciate simplicity and highlighting the essence of a single ingredient. i appreciate it, but i still prefer a party in my mouth.

loved it as a house tour, and the kitchen tour just adds more detail! i am especially keen on the color scheme, and love the use of different materials and finishes. very consistent with the rest of the house too! your style continues to impress!

i love paula wolfert! i am excited to hear she has a new book. her last two have been delights, just as fun to read as to cook from.

really lovely, glamourous, elegant home. and chock full of inspiration and ideas for me:) thanks!

question: it looks like there is a capiz shell background to one of your shelves. what is it? source?

thanks for sharing your home!

hmm. @mschatelaine, did you really mean BFF? i feel warmly towards my preferred cleaners (baking soda and vinegar), but they are still not quite BFF worthy:)

hmm. i have yet to see creme fraiche in any store i have been to. i read about it constantly, but have never seen it. of course, i also haven't ever had problems with whipped cream not turning out. so i guess this is not a loss to me.
