Week 2: We Feasted On Cheese! October 14, 2007 I was worried about lots of things when I began this little local adventure, but none stumped me more than cheese. I’d simply never had any local cheese that I cared to have again. I thought it was just going to be something I’d have to skip on along with avocados, limes, and olives (the latter is killing me! Really, why can’t there be groves of olive trees straddling the Ohio River. Why!). Shows...

I'd never seen her in this role, and, frankly, it was scary. The woman is a strange blend of passion and unsmiling seriousness. Generally people who love food are laid back and groovy, and enthusiasm is usually tempered with a good dollop of sheepish self-consciousness: "I know I'm obsessed, and it makes me a dork, but I'm so excited I...

After days of centering every single meal around some big cut, I realized it was time for a little break. There aren’t too many times in my life that I can honestly say this, but what I wanted was zucchini. And for those in need of a zucchini recipe, there really is only one place to go: Chocolate and Zucchini. This adoring blog is in no need of more attention -she actually...

It's more of a creation, something coddled and cared for that takes an inordinate amount of time and makes you wonder whether it's worth the problem to begin with. It doesn't help that Fairway sells fresh pickles that are crisp and lovely, and I know that my own would fail. It also doesn't help that my... Read the Full Article
Dear Mom: This is the Breakfast in Bed That We Would Have Made You for Mother's Day if We Could Have Afforded the Plane Ticket May 14, 2006 Happy Mother's Day, Mom. We know we might not be lawyers, stock brokers, or those people that have "money" or whatever that's called. But we can cook. And had we been able to be with you today, and, had we awoken (most likely by you) at the absolutely absurd hour that you rise, this is what we would have done. So, please. Stay in bed, read some of that paper and enjoy a full menu dedicated to you and all you've done for us. Someday, when...

When I can’t decide what I feel like cooking, I’ll often visit epicurious.com and bum around until an ingredient that sounds great pops up--then I’ll start searching for that ingredient and I always find something that sounds tasty. In this case, my ingredient was goat cheese. I was doing a few searches at www.jamieoliver.com--we basically follow him and his British humor around with tongues wagging--and he had...
