Well hello again! It has been quite the whirlwind of a week here in PA as we prepared (and overprepared) for the holiday. I have spent most of the week as, you guessed it, a cooking slut. I have made baklava, cookies, brownies, cupcakes, dips, sides, sauce(s), and most importantly, gnocchi. For more about cooking [...]

I’ll start this off by saying I’m sure you all had a lovely Christmas, I definitely did- filled with food & family, and gifts of course. But you’re here to read about the food part of that equation, and so I won’t keep you waiting… My attempt to make Giulia’s gnocchi was to take place [...]

Us fabulous ladies from Cooking the Books got together last night at Franny’s in Brooklyn, an adorable restaurant Giulia Melucci (author of our first book, I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti) recommended that serves fantastic brick oven pizza, and then to a bar called Bar(n) across the street, to celebrate our first book conquest. [...]
I dragged Shaun on Saturday afternoon to Whole Foods because I wanted to make the “Food Club Pork Roast”. The pork loin I wanted to buy was $8.99 per pound. That’s pretty expensive when I wasn’t even sure I was going to be able to make it without burning it! I ended up buying pork [...]
