Commanders in Chef

With presidents in mind, remember our leaders who liked good food.

Hi, Hubby and I are planning extensive Québec City eating trip (breakfast, lunch, snack, dinner – waddle back to hotel). One of our top places in the snack category is that yummy ice cream place on Lévis that dips the ice...

Thoughts on this place? NYT had an article about it today. Link: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/28/dining/28factory.html

Rose Levy Beranbaum in her book The Pie and Pastry Bible says egg whites will keep in your refrigerator for ten days. After that I’d throw them out.

You can’t go wrong with The Cake Bible, by Rose Levy Beranbaum. Every recipe works, she explains things clearly, and even if things seem to complicated or too many steps—the results are worth it! I just noticed you...

Mamale on/near Oakland Park is probably your best bet. It’s gotten good reviews on this board and it’s only roughly 15 minutes north of the airport. Also, Levy's, which is 5 minutes south of the airport, is good for...

Also take a look at Rose Levy Beranbaum’s translation of A Passion for Chocolate by the Bernachon brothers.

Wonder if you were at Mon Vieil Ami, 69 St Louis en l’Ile. When we were there we ate well. A lot of Americans. Chubby and old American’s seem to think that Levi's are tres chic. I think you mentioned that you could...

Any chance you’d be willing to post your recipe, Sarah? It sounds wonderful!
