I did a Mint Julep Ice Cream this weekend, based on a recipe from Cindy Pawlcyn's Mustard’s Cookbook. It was exceptional and very easy to make. I also had a sweet pea ice cream at a Chicago restaurant recently. Not to my...

, as is Terra. And you can’t go wrong at any of Cindy Pawlcyn's restaurants. Cindy's Backstreet Kitchen, Mustards, or Go Fish. Time for an inexpensive lunch? Don’t under any circumstance miss the sweet potato fries at...

into the stratosphere. They also offer corkage ($15 at last visit)if you’ve found one during your day’s wine visits and it is not on their list. If it’s crowded, don’t hesitate to eat at the bar –...

We dined at Mustards Monday night, and it was a disaster. And I love Cindy Pawlcyn and have loved Mustards in the past. Lumpy mashed potatoes, things just thrown together on the plate, chipotle quail that had no taste of chipotle,...

Cindy Pawlcyn's “Fog City Diner Cookbook”. Heavenly as a dressing or dip for veggies. As I recall, the dressing was invented by a chef at the Palace Hotel in S.F., I believe in the 30’s, at the request of actors...

though, I’d skip it and try something else. Cindy's Backstreet was good overall, but the food didn’t quite live up to my expectations. Had some minor execution problems, but my mojito was great and the service very...

Schlessinger, Madeleine Kamman (sp?), Cindy Pawlcyn—all of these peole have been on MS Living in long segments cooking a few dishes and interacting with Martha. Some have appeared on those embarrassingly rushed and useless...

Valley. Fantastic wine list, and wonderful master sommelier with great people skills. Martini House is wonderful. They do offer other menu items other than the mushroom special menu, don’t they? I really like Cindy's...

Cormick & Schmick are. Each of their restaurants has its own personality defined by its chef. Some of them are excellent, e.g. Boulevard, Martini House, Picco. (Note that Cindy Pawlcyn's no longer involved with the Real group,...
