I’ll preface this post by saying (again) I’m pregnant. Fourteen weeks. Which is to say, all sorts of disgusting, horrifying snacks and treats sound pretty tasty right now. Since I probably won’t allow myself to eat a platter of deep fried Oreos anytime soon, I’ll settle for the visual. Click here for 12 yummy killers calling [...]

Jake favorite ingredient is coconut. This recipe comes from David Lebovitz and is really more of a custard because it contains 5 egg yolks which makes the finished product extra creamy with lots of density.

Every morning before work, I cut myself a large slab and slather it with homemade lemon curd, made from David [...]

Step aside, Portland. Louisville, Kentucky is finally getting its well deserved place on the culinary map with the publication of chef Edward Lee’s cookbook Smoke & Pickles. Lee, a Brooklyn kid who transplanted to the South a few years ago, marries Asian flavors with Southern cuisine — collards and kimchi, white rice and bourbon, fried [...]
