Okay, here it is - the first cup of coffee I've ever made here in my apartment. No coffee maker required, just the French Laundry cookbook. As you've probably guessed by now, this is my re-creation of the famed Thomas Keller "Coffee and Donuts"... well, the "Coffee" part, anyway, because I'm ... continue reading...
Aunt K’s chocolate roulade
My Aunt K doesn't spend too much time in the kitchen, but she has a collection of excellent dishes that she makes for special occasions. My favorite among them has to be her roulade, which we had this year for New Year's Eve dinner - it's the perfect balance of chocolate and chantilly cream, ... continue reading...
Vetri, Philadelphia
My visits to Philadelphia are relatively frequent, but always too rushed for me to do everything I'd like. Of my three favorite Philly activities (tax-free shopping, eating gelato at Capogiro, or having a fantastic meal somewhere), I can manage just one or two in the average trip. On the rare ... continue reading...
El Bulli cocktails, Party at the Aviary

Which means ... continue reading...

I like the Viceroy's luxury and newness; when I’m on vacation, I want a room that really feels like a getaway. At the Viceroy, the bed is comfortable, ... continue reading...
Spaghetti alla carbonara
If left to my own devices, I think I'd eat pasta almost every day - not terribly healthy, but oh so delicious. Spaghetti alla carbonara is probably the poster child for unhealthy-but-delicious, since it's basically just pasta tossed with eggs, lots of Parmesan cheese, and a bit of ... continue reading...
Blanchard’s, Anguilla
Blanchard's is the grande dame of Anguilla fine dining - practically a lifestyle empire, with cookbooks and life coaching books, a new 'beach shack' cafe, and of course the flagship restaurant. It might not be the most exciting restaurant on the island, but Blanchard's delivers a ... continue reading...
Trattoria Tramonto, Anguilla
OK, we've taken a bit of a break from my Anguilla reporting, but there are so many wonderful restaurants there that I still have a few more places to write about. So without further ado, I give you Trattoria Tramonto. As fresh and good as the seafood is in Anguilla, sometimes I simply must ... continue reading...
