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 [...]

A Very Happy (Greek) New Year, by Annabelle
Everyone has their own traditional New Year’s foods. Some swear by black eyed peas, but as a devout Yankee, I never quite got the hang of them (though heaven knows we could all use a bit of luck at the start of a new year). Goose is ever-popular; if we’re going to get symbolic, I’d [...]

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. This year Mr. Mix and I put up our very first Christmas tree; living in New York City these last 15 years, I didn’t ever have room for a full-fledged tree. But the [...]

Edible Travel Necessities: The New Brown Bag
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 [...]

Maven of the Month: Kris Schoels
The wait is over! There has been a month-long drought since introducing our last Maven of the Month, but thankfully, today’s fresh and inspiring feature promises to make up for it. June’s Maven offers an essential dose of sugar, spice and everything nice…quite the departure from the snotty antics of mavens’ past. Meet Kris Schoels–the [...]

Market Report: Rainbow Carrots
Carrots get a bad rap. Though delicious and nutritious, their omnipresence and bright color often lumps them into the category of “childhood snack”. Raw carrots are the territory of preschool sandwich baggies; though obviously, carrots for adults do exist–I just don’t see them on menus as often as I might like. I’m trying to change [...]

Last-Minute Mother’s Day Meal
Mother’s Day is just days away, and if you’re anything like me, you’ve been getting a barrage of emails touting the perfect gifts for Mom. Sales on everything from perfume sets to pots and pans, spa treatments to sparkling tennis bracelets, have invaded my inbox. My Mamma deserves every bit of indulgence after the drama [...]

Spring-Forward Cocktails (Part II)
11. Employees Only Everyone needs a neighborhood bar. But to be able to call Employees Only my neighborhood bar is something for which I’ll be forever grateful. Not that it’s a Wednesday-night-beer kind of place; the crowd at EO is always well-dressed, well-heeled, and sometimes tightly-packed on weekends. It’s the cocktails that make the scene, [...]

Spring-Forward Cocktails (Part I)
As the warmer weather arrives, all the red wine and hot punch from the winter months becomes less desirable. The thought of warming my hands over a mug of mulled cider, as I so often did this winter, no longer seems appealing; with spring, thoughts of fresh herbs, flower blossoms, fizzes and flips take center [...]
