Hamantashen are roaring these days. The dense hat shaped cookie filled with jam has become one of my favorite ways to cookie. Should I hate to say it… but Oreos are number one and I eat plenty of them. PLENTY. So today I want to recognize this special cookie for the upcoming Jewish holiday called…
(my guy with his guys) I’’ve been wondering if Montreal has a monkier; Like NYC is known as the big apple, Charlotte as Queen City and NOLA as The Big Easy. Correct me if I’m wrong, but apparently Sin City takes shape for this not- so scandalous city. It’s old and new; food-filled, coffee soaked,…
It’s rugelach season for us over here- well it’s Dillon’s thing but I get to share in the joy of it all too! He’s the prince of rugelach, so we had to start making them ASAP. Of course, his mother makes the best— who else would?! That first year after eating a Hannakuah dinner of…
Delish In late June I started a new chapter as Assistant Food Editor for Delish. A digital food media brand with a quarterly magazine, YouTube channel, and vibrant food team that keeps the flow on it’s toes! Moving from television production- in food and lifestyle tv- to Assistant Food Editor in the editorial space felt…
Visit As much as I live to be a pasta queen I can’t possibly remember them all. I certainly haven’t tried nearly a third of what exists. I lost track of a few things I knew after studying abroad in 2018. I hadn’t spent much time north nor had I ever visited Parma. When…
CULATELLO There’s an eerie feeling walking into a salumi dungeon. The smell of ammonium almost suffocating as the mold spores from the exterior soil wraps the culatello (think of it like terroir). They hang from the ceiling and taper down on chains waiting to be plucked for service. It’s a raw sight but one that’s…
Aba’s Falafel is a business venture Cathy Nor never expected. From over saturated farmers market weekends to a hole in the wall establishment in Rhinebeck, NY there are ALWAYS lines of people waiting to devour falafel in pita or on Sabich platters.
This is one of those instances where I told myself- go for it. I love collaborations, and I love exploring food-related businesses and brands. David Cruz is a fellow CIA alum who started Reconnect Foods via a food truck in the Hudson Valley. I was thrilled when I saw the concept turn to brick and…
I have gone to Misi Robbins restaurants more times than I’ve visited any other Brooklyn eatery. And there are SO many I want to venture to there. But I will never be mad about it. Buttery, crispy, crunchy, herbaceous, zingy— the buzz words I describe her veggie plates. This time, we hit a few…
More reasons to love Kingston—somehow these spots got swept under my nose. Ollie’s slice shop is breaking out pizzas like caramelized onion with melted Italian hot pepper and a very pillowy Sicilian. I’m typically not a fan of the grandma style crushed tomato mound on top of cheese, but this was solid. Fletcher &…
