Perfect Scrambled Eggs
It's no secret that I have tremendous respect for Gordon Ramsay. The guy is just amazing. Here he demonstrates that skill ranges from complicated food all the way down to the simplest dish, that most people take for granted: scrambled egg.Watch Gordon explain how to make perfect scrambled eggs.... -
Colorful Quinoa Salad and Skewers
Quinoa is a wonderful ingredient, that can be used as a substitute for rice or cous cous in most recipes. It is high in protein and has many health benefits. The best part is that it tastes good. I love it because it's chewy and the mild flavor takes on any sauce or dressing well. In the Spring, I love colorful salads and Quinoa makes a lovely... -
Hallelujah!
My stove, grill, and oven definitely make it evident that I cook pretty often. That's always my excuse when my mom comes over. It's not that I don't clean my stove and grill, but it's har... -
Roasted Poblano Black Beans
I crave these Latin-style beans every once in a while. The flavors come together so nicely and its pretty healthy too. I usually make these beans with bacon but I have chorizo in my fridge so why not.

Cabaret Gourmet
We told you last week, we'd be going to Cabaret Gourmet, so of course I'm rushing to post our thoughts on the food. In general, each restaurant's table was set up beautifully and there was plenty of wine/alcohol. (Lon and I are not drinkers.) There was a comfortable amount of space so that you wouldn't feel cramped and you never had to wait on a line to sample the food, but the event was a bit smaller than Lon and I expect... -

Wildwood
Wildwood Wildwood, the latest notch on the B.R. Guest belt, is a welcomed BBQ addition to our neighborhood. My friend Angie accompanied Lon and I to this well designed space where everything simply made sense: the country music, the aged windows above the bar, the fun t-shirts on the wait staff, and the barn latches in the bathrooms.<... -
Sushi Yasuda! (Says Lon Too)
This is our seventh installment on our favorite sushi restaurant -- Sushi Yasuda Sushi Yasuda (if you haven't already, make sure to catch article #6). To help provide further perspective for those of you not lucky enough to have visited Chef Yasuda's land of delicacies, I will tell you about my experien... -

It's That Time of Year
I don't know if anyone else will find this funny but it was interesting enough for me to pull out my complicated camera (that I don't really know how to use) to take these pictures. I was walking home on Fifth Ave and realized that there was three ice cream trucks within one block from where I was standing. Here's the one parked on 18th Street (right off of Fifth Ave).... -

Asian Style Chimichurri Steak
I don't usually buy London Broil but there was a super good sale going on so I couldn't resist it for $1.99 per pound. So, I figured I would marinate it and then grill it for dinner tonight....

Spring Soba Salad
Lon doesn't really like soba but sometimes I like a challenge. He gave his thumbs up on this one and I loved it! It's pretty darn easy too.

Lan Zhou Handmade Noodles
This is my new favorite whole-in-the-wall. Lan Zhou Handmade Noodle Lan Zhou Handmade Noodle is relatively clean for a Chinatown dive, has a short and simple delicious menu, and stealth-like service. As soon as you order, it takes the chef (dressed like any guy you'd see on the street) less than two minutes to pull the dough into a few bowl of handmade (i... -

Perilla - I Have Returned!
You may have noticed that I don't return to many restaurants often. Perilla is one of the few that I make this exception for, and since the menu has changed a bit since my last visit, I'll have to remember to make seasonal visits. We were in a group of seven this time, and I'd like to make note to do that next time as well. You get to try more dishes! With some repetition, we got to try 7 appetizers, 4 entrees, and 3 desserts.

This is not the best thing to be eating 6 weeks before your wedding, but I had most of the ingredients for Enchiladas just sitting in my fridge, waiting to be brought together. It turned out scrum-diddle-ee-umptious!Beef Enchiladas in Green SauceIngredients

Sweet Cheese Puffs
Carol Gelles gave me a book called Sweet Miniatures, by Flo Braker, several years ago. It's possible that this book started my obsession with miniatures, after I bought a mini-muffin pan just to make the Sweet Cheese Puffs in this book. It is still my favorite recipe from this book, and occasionally I play with it to make different flavors...
Despana
Justin K. and I met for lunch yesterday in SoHo, where his new office is located. Our lunch venture started off quite poorly but ended up amazing. I spied L'Orange Bleue a bit east of his office; we walked over and found it to be closed... at lunch. Sad. So then we continued east, passing a little shop called Despana, on our way around the corner to Hoo...
Sushi of Gari 46
I had lunch with my friend Zoe at Sushi of Gari 46 Sushi of Gari 46, which was empty at noon but filled up around 1pm, in a sudden whoosh of people. I asked to sit at the sushi bar but that is reserved for Omakase only. When we opened the menu, we saw that there was a Lunch Omakase for $50 and we thought, ok let's go for it. I aske...

Red Jacket Orchards - Dried Crispin Apples
While I was in the Union Square green market yesterday, I picked up some Dried Crispin Apples from Red Jacket Orchards. They are regular in taste but what I like is that they are just Crispin apples, with nothing added. Often, when you buy dried fruit from the supermarket, there is added sugars, sulphites, or other chemicals. Less is more....
Fantastic Foods Hummus and Tabouli Salad
We tried two products from Fantastic Foods last night, the Hummus Mix and the Tabouli Salad. Both are inexpensive and couldn't be easier to make. Unfortunately, I can't recommend them.The hummus was edible for Lon and our friend Andy, but not preferable to any other hummus th...
How to Fire Roast a Pepper
Whenever friends ask me how I roast a pepper, it seems like they think it will be uber complicated. Well, good news, it's not! It's super easy and you do get something absolutely delicious and very healthy. There are different ways to roast a pepper but I like fire roasting, because it requires no pans, just your stove (if you have an electric, you're screwed) and tongs, and of course peppers. You can roast all different kinds (the same way) but my demo is with red bell peppers and when you're r...

Wedding Menu Tasting #2
Since we weren't that happy with our first tasting, our venue asked us to come back for a second one, where the executive chef, Phil, would be present. This experience was much better and I'm a bit more relaxed now.We started with the Crab Cakes which were still not lump crab meat but tasted much much better. They were the right consistency, fork tender, but not mushy. Presentation was again, very nice.- Continue reading "Wedding Menu Tasting #2"
