Just the title of this recipe coats my mouth with desire. Mussels, butter, sake and chiles — what a beautiful combination created by Bon Appétit . I couldn’t have painted a better dish. Stir things up tonight with this Asian take on a classic French cuisine — be sure to have some crusty bread [...]

That’s my supermodel dog, Tesla, hanging out with the super food ginger. At sushi bars, I always order two of the ginger house salads. When no one is looking, I sip the dressing on the bottom. This is my favorite dressing to make at home. You’ll taste ginger for days…

A recipe on Top Chef caught my eye the other night, bacon with a sweet miso glaze. They didn’t exactly spell out the recipe, in fact, all I have to go with is the look of orgasmic delight on each of the judges faces. Obviously the glaze can be used over anything — [...]

This weekend we had the wedding to attend and drama to unfold. After all, it wouldn’t be a wedding without wasted characters grabbing your ass and sticking their tongues down the throats of non-willing participants. As my friend would say, people have gone to jail for less.
Sunday — we grilled. Simple pleasures, simple [...]

I spent the weekend with a pack of guidos at a food show in a casino. My guidette deli owner and I were in a meat market of high powered sexually deprived, married Italian men, reeking of garlic and grappa and wanting nothing more than to poke us with their salami. It was [...]

Many people enjoy guacamole, but I don’t know many who would slice open an avocado and eat its tasty flesh with a spoon. I grew up eating them. We would slice them open, sprinkle salt and pepper and drizzle olive oil and vinegar on top. For dinner, I would eat two whole avocados. [...]

I remember quite clearly the first time I made stuffed artichokes. It was Christmas time, I was in love and had the kitchen all to myself. My boyfriend painted my ornament upstairs, ‘the brain’ from Pinky and the Brain (best-cartoon-ever). Etta James was playing, the wine was flowing… I was staring at the pointy massive [...]

I’ve always wanted to wake up super early in the morning and make bread while sipping on espresso. Like most things, I think the dream of making bread is much better than the reality. I can run down to the bakery and buy a baguette for $2.50 or I could spend hours making it myself [...]

This past Easter Sunday, I decided to make a rack of lamb (how cliché!) — one of the easiest and tastiest dinners to create. This is also great for appetizers and makes a great romantic presentation.
On a side note, it was a great accompaniment to the sexual tense film, The Sound of Music. If you’ve [...]

The last time I was in Hong Kong, I was ushered into a brightly colored restaurant and served the ancient delicacy of aged eggs. The egg yolk was a dark blue almost black slimy mess. I took a bite and was surprised by the overall sweetness, an avocado like texture resembling a creamy cheese.
You don’t [...]
