Warming Wilted Spinach Salad

Exciting stuff! Before moving to Boston I shot an online commercial for a copper-bottom cookware company called Anolon. Hard at work at a studio loft space in Brooklyn, we transformed our Hasidic digs into a California kitchen replete with all the trappings of a romantic, organic, date night dinner for two. On the menu was [...]

Pine Potpourri

Tis the season for baking cookies, flipping potato pancakes, mixing champagne cocktails and simmering pine potpourri!?!? Yep, you read that right…pine potpourri.

Whether by train, plane or automobile, any excuse to pack up and skip town is a welcome relief come the blistering summer sun. When the city becomes a sauna, that’s my ticket to head somewhere–anywhere, beach bound. While many of us find ourselves overindulging the second that out-of-office auto response has been set, starting your [...]

Wild About Salmon

Last weekend, Erin and I headed to Sag Harbor to cater a super chic quarter-century birthday bash. It was a match made in foodie heaven: I met the birthday girl’s mother at a Café Boulud wine dinner, she became a reader of my blog, and the rest, as they say, is history. To make the [...]

I crave all things food and devour foodie news. Staying on top of restaurant openings, cookbook releases, chef sagas, reviews, awards, menu trends and New York’s culinary calendar is something of a religion to me. I draw most of my epicurean knowledge from friends in the biz, bloggers I trust, local newspapers and countrywide magazines, [...]

Ditch the mediocre deli and its equally unsatisfying sandwich wraps–you deserve something better for lunch! With oodles of lunching recommendations to share and fabulous foodie photography for us to gawk at, this month’s maven duo has made a serious splash in the world of midday munching. For 9-to-5ers, lunch can sometimes be an overlooked, underfed, [...]
