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 [...]

As with many cities, New York was underrepresented when it came to women wielding knives in professional kitchens, and those whose names were known were few and far between (and often worked in pastry). These days, things are looking much brighter for [...]

Not so Mellow Jell-o
This summer I’ve recreated some of my favorite childhood sweet treats, each with their own comfort chic twist! From s’mores decked out in milk chocolate bacon bars to cupcakes kissed with bourbon, fruit pies laced with ginger spice and avocado popsicles spiked with tequila, my food adventures may have been inspired by fond childhood memories, [...]

Doing it Right
It’s not just a new year; it’s a new decade. A new start. A chance for a fresh proclamation. And with all this “new” comes the inevitable reflections of old… Snotty McSnobster held his annual holiday hijinks soiree right before I skipped town for Buff last month. Celest was my +1. In attendance at the [...]

Inauguration Libation
It seemed like today would never arrive, but it has…and it is amazing! Today is obviously a day for celebration. With a brilliant new president and brand spanking new year, I’m thrilled to be an American, delighted to be a New Yorker, inspired to serve (in my community and more dinner parties for friends!) and [...]

Christmas Cucumber Margaritas
The Santa Fe Reporter just published my recipe for Blood Orange Margaritas in their holiday drinking guide! I know what you’re thinking, “Christmas Margaritas? Maybe if I were from Texas…” But I go home to Buffalo every Christmas, a spot known not for its warm winds and cool drinks, but rather, its cold weather and [...]
