We are moving, rather unexpectedly, so there will be a slight hiatus on posts until we are in our new home and more or less unpacked....

My sister was having a diiner party and asked me to cater an ovo-lacto vegetarian meal for 10 people. The finished dishes seemed to go...

Just as a reminder, here is what I made for my sister's big birthday bash, with HUGE kudos to L. for spending copious amounts of time...

There are few things more summery than corn on the cob and following is the easiest way to make it without any fuss or bother. All you...

The French go on and on about their pré-salé lamb - these are lambs raised in salt marshes which adds a salinity to the meat - which made...

L. had had a bee in his bonnet about Philly cheese steaks for a while. Last year he requested that we make one for dinner but, since we...

I was gifted a Str*tchd massage for Mother's Day (can hardly wait) and, for my contribution to the day, cooked brunch for my mother,...
