Konnichiwa Queen

I’ve always had a huge interest in learning how to make the raw but oh so delicious dish we call sushi. But, every opportunity to take a class {whether on Gilt City, etc} never worked out with the strict times and high prices! So, yours truly marched right on over to her favorite sushi chef [...]

Simply Recover With Simply PB

Burning over 800 calories in Barry’s Bootcamp? You better bet I’m going to want {plus my body needs!} protein right after…pronto! But if you’re anything like me, fueling up on more calories than burned post workout so ain’t my thing. That’s why I’m totally obsessed with a smoothie called Simply PB. Hola! Housed inside Barry’s [...]

Don’t Forget That Powdered Sugar Now…

Buttery, rich and velvety chocolate has my name written all over it. So when I spotted this decadent-looking brownie recipe in a cookbook stirred up in Thomas Keller’s fabulous Ad Hoc restaurant, I knew it just had to be made! Was it the melted butter hugging the cocoa and chopped chocolate into a long kiss? [...]

It’s Time To Get Hola’d

Just because it’s not Cinco de Mayo doesn’t mean you can’t throw a carefree and fancy-free summer fiesta! Hola. It’s the perfect excuse to get friends together, and make a super easy recipe {always a crowd pleaser!} with some “hola” ingredients…plus, why not add in a little margarita action into the mix? Your guests will [...]

Sip Into Bikini Season

One of my all time favorite things to make in the summer is ice cold protein smoothies! Perfect post SoulCycle or for just a chilly treat to sip on while catching the sun rays, smoothies are a cool way to recharge your body and relax! Although I love to change the ingredients in my smoothies [...]

From one Baker to another: Dixie Caviar

Even the name in itself is an instant crowd pleaser! Best part? It’s incredibly easy {and fun!} to make. Did I mention [...]

From one Baker to another: Summer Quiche

Heading to the Hamptons this weekend? Nantucket? Fire Island? It’s finally that time of the year where starting this weekend we get to say hola to sweet summertime and “summer Friday’s”! But this year, let’s try to raise the politeness level while packing our phenom cover-ups shall we? Here’s one recipe that I love to [...]

B+H Top Weekend Pick: Sir Kensington’s Homemade

Everyone knows that down South we always cover everything in ketchup…from meatloaf all the way to hash browns and fried shrimp! Honestly, I even prefer to dip my steak into some ketchup as well…hola! My flavaa has always been Heinz, but during a trip ’round Eataly last week, I came across a new kind of [...]

Cookin’ Up A Culinary Salon

After salivating, craving and going gaga over everything Boston-based Dan Whalen creates on his blog, The Food In My Beard, I decided to contact him and ask when he would be visiting NYC so we could officially cook together! Spontaneous as can be, I thought…Why not? Our friendship grew after his first visit a few months [...]

Companionable Comfort

Cooking for yourself? That’s totally boring…with a capital B! So when my friends brought up the idea of having a cooking night on Sunday nights I was all.over.it. One of the reasons I committed to these delicious gatherings was because a good friend, Julian Kurland, would be taking charge as head chef for the group. [...]

Let’s Get Real…Panini Style!

Call me crazy…but I’ve always thought that the correct way to make a panini was to get some bread, throw on a weird combination of cheeses, veggies and possibly a meat into the mix, put it into a presser and smash it all together. And voila! There’s your panini. Oh boy, was I mistaken! While [...]
