to work this hard to try a sip of wine. The food at Taste has a lot of promise. There seems to be a nice cheese plate of Italian peccorino’s, one of which is wrapped in walnut leaves. There’s Alaskan Halibut cheeks...

good. Twighim, which means “fried food” consisting of squid, yam, mixed vegetable, nori rolls, wontons, carrots, eggplant, in tempura batter. Ddukbokki, which are sliced or small whole chunks of rice cake simmering in...

't find just one store in Chinatown with enough (plus zooming around Chinatown, from store to store, on foot and lugging close to 40 pounds of product was not going to work). Had to be live and "not too big." Eventually found a...

've had the same experience that others have cited with expensive organ meats. A few years back, a friend made a great stroganoff using beef hearts that she bought for 99 cents a pound. I looked at the store the other day to see...

not ashamed that I like Kraft mac n cheese and Ooey gooey bars (made with cake mix and obscene amounts of butter). I’m loving the 80% comment – 80% of the time, I’m having natural peanut butter on whole grain...

world to fall back on. I also know how hard it is to work in the culinary world. My father has been everything from a waiter when I was really young, a wedding cake maker, a baker, and now he runs his own cafe in Rollinsford, NH...

I hate it – thoroughly, and proudly so! I dozed off watching something else, and awoke already in a fit of pique because my unconscious brain realized what show was on. Felt much better once I pounded the remote.

Sadly, I have a few pounds of food waist that I can’t seem to even give away. As to wasting food, It’s FUN to be as creative as possible with storage techniques, menu planning, and inventory procedures. Zero waste is...

to decipher the codes that some companies use such as H3GH4VM means “it was made on August of 2003 and is good for 5 years after that date”. Of course, some packaged things won’t make you sick, but they...

I actually really enjoy the rhythmic elements of cooking. I like stirring and I love pounding dough, or forming dumplings with my hands, and I also love arranging food on a platter. I like chopping less... maybe because I have to...

and big, ripe, juicy strawberry, too. If I lived in the area I’d probably be a regular (and pack on the pounds because of it).

This really has to take the cake. Just HEARING about it made my stomach turn!! Wow!

the system, as it seems far more likely an indication of possible theft than “Skip Bagging”. What is the problem exactly? If they are SO worried about theft and shrinkage that passing on bagging a ten pound bag of...

the approximate size of a bottle created in one blow. • A typical “fifth” bottle full of wine and corked weighs about 2 1/2 to 3 pounds, a convenient size to pack and carry while shopping. • Perhaps most interesting,...

Of course! And let me say, her cakes are lovely but a little dense. (Don’t tell her I told you!)
