I love the sunshine. There is no doubt that warm weather puts a spring in my step, a smile on my face and a sweet tan on my Italian skin. Spring is a lovely time, but often brings rain and seasonal allergies, and to me is sort of like a waiting period…a tease of what’s [...]

Crush-a-belle: Ode to Avocado
There are several indications summer in the city has made her grand entrance. Sundresses and sandals parade down sidewalks covered with tables, crowded with chairs, filled by New Yorkers hoisting fruity cocktails that flow like water, oh yeah, and the subway has begun to heat up like a sticky sauna. Among the other signals of [...]

The Dinner Belle Does Spring
Today marks the first day of Summer! And by all accounts, this season already seems to have surpassed last year’s wash out. It’s gorgeous outside, and has been for weeks now.

Freshly Laid

Quail egg toasts have become one of my favorite signature hors d’oeuvres, and I’ve shelled out a small fortune for spring-hued Araucanas. Needless to say, I’ve been spending a lot of time around a certain egg farmer lately–at [...]

Market Report: Eggscellent
It all started when I made a vinegar cake. Holed up late at night in my apartment with a clichéd but absolutely palpable PMS craving for chocolate, I pulled out a recipe for a one bowl, nine ingredient chocolate cake that promised to be done and delectable in under 45 minutes. It was 1am, and [...]
