In honor of No Diet Day ( May 6th) here I present to you a fat free cake. I would be totally lying if I didn’t admit to the truth about that. Of course it’s not fat free, that’s just ludicrous. This is a lemon drip cake filled with strawberries and cream, iced it with frosting…
The title, ABCV is abbreviated to mean ABC Vegetarian. Jean George, chef, and culinary gastronome owns restaurants around the country, with a few more locations in NYC. His first ABC kitchen lies in the ABC Carpet and Home store on 38 east, 19th street. Vegetarianism is quite trendy today so opening a veggie-forward restaurant was…
I suppose you don’t see BLT sandwiches on a breakfast buffet, but when you have heirloom tomatoes from the garden, a few packs of unopened bacon staring at you in the fridge, and bread from Bread Alone, I think it’s fair to assemble. Whether you want to make your own mayo with an egg yolk,…
Cookie skillets are one way to satisfy a hankering for something sweet. Brownies, and cookies and mint chocolate chip ice cream is the best combination! I am biased, I suppose since I love mint chip. My girl friends love cookie skillets, and instead of going out five times a week to get one, I decided…
I have been lusting at the thought of purple gnocchi for weeks! The secret of how they turned purple is my own, but I will say they taste like any generic potato gnocchi recipe regardless! Sweet Italian sausage is a great pair with any pasta dish, and happily, I found a few links in the…
When hosting a party for thirty, a number not exactly large and not too small, a great way to seat guests is at one long table. There is something so special and intimate about gathering family and friends to sit amongst each other. It reminds me of how a European grandmother would gather her kids and…
I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to get these beautiful heirloom tomatoes from the market. The absolute best time of the season to buy is in August when they are at their peek in the season. Cut them into a peach salad, blanch them quickly into pasta with arugula pesto, or munch…
A unique combination that’s absolutely delicious. Although tomatoes and peaches are at the tired end of their season I am craving their fruitful flavors. Sarah Copeland would feed me such flavorful salads for lunch every time we worked together. I could not quite figure out how she could make such greens and veggies taste so…
I live for pasta. I know that a few of my past posts have digressed this fact, but I will continue to tell all. I remember when I was in elementary and middle school, I would always boil Swanson Chicken broth while cooking a pot of pasta to add to it. Tortellini was my favorite…
It’s a nice thought, but no. These berries aren’t known to make wine, but they are however, related to blackberries and the many ways you can manipulate them. It’s common to see these plump guys, on the side of a highway growing wildly; so the next time you are in a summer road…
