Two Weeks, Behind the Scone: Recent Cooking, Bagels, Scones, Reading & Curries

Posted on by • 7 Comments

I’ve been perusing Serious Eats (and wishing they’d read my mind and hand over my own vegan column already, jeez) quite a bit lately, and had to borrow one of their regular features as a title here, and hand it over to the past two weeks in my culinary life.  As I’m a bit nutty … Continue reading »

After a few years off, I found myself visiting the ‘ol home state not once but twice in late 2012. I’d been perusing those tempting fare alert emails, talking snow withdrawal with J. Legume, and the next thing I knew, we had our hands on some promotional airfare and another stay in what we like to … Continue reading »

Cooking in Bushwick

While I was on hiatus, I did a lot of cooking at my sister’s apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn. My sister works a ton, but was able to take some time off while I was visiting (and hey, thanks for something, Sandy), and it was so much freaking fun planning and cooking meals together in her … Continue reading »

Heartichoke: The Perfect Lychee Martini

Posted on by • 5 Comments

‘Perfect’ is such a temperamental, evolving term, and I certainly wouldn’t be using it if my sister didn’t keep lychee juice in her fridge for her precious lychee martinis. Our stop into Verlaine on the lower east side, years ago, for $5 lychee martinis during happy hour takes the inspiration, and we almost repeated it for … Continue reading »
