Well I’ve been MIA for almost 2 months. That’s really lousy of me- but things have been busy. Plus I’m keeping up with my food blog, as well as all the other daily acitivities and responsibilities I have to do. But nonetheless, I finished Garlic & Sapphires a while back and I have to say [...]

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 on [...]

I know everyone’s busy with Christmas, getting ready to make our gnocchi and if you’re Jeanine- being at Disney! But I just wanted to thank Yoyo at topstitch.org for spotlighting us this week for ‘Web Crawler Wednesday’! It’s sweet of her to plug us and I know we all appreciate it. Thank you, Yoyo!
So on [...]

As we near the end of our first book, I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, get closer to the start of our second book, Garlic & Sapphires, and having just watched the movie Julie & Julia, I started thinking about all sorts of things: blogging, cooking (and blogging about it), and reading books and [...]

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. [...]

No- not our blog! But our first book selection, I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti. We all thoroughly enjoyed this book, and I think we can all agree every recipe we tried from it was aces, that we could relate to it in so many ways, and that we were all very sad when [...]

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Now back to some bookery cookery…
In the few months I’ve had Giulia’s book, I Loved, I Lost, I Made Spaghetti, I’ve made a few recipes from it, and posted them on my other blog. Most recently the “Morning After Pumpkin Bread” (which was a massive hit). I’ve [...]

Even though I had read the book previously, I decided to re-read it, or at least certain parts I had forgotten. I was re-reading one of my favorite parts (the “Mitch” era) when I happened upon Giulia’s recipe for mozzarella en carozza, or “Italian Grilled Cheese for Teenage WASPs.” Mozzarella en carozza literally means ‘mozzarella [...]

So here we are! It’s finally officially open! I’ve been waiting for a long time to make the announcement and share the site with people and today all the bio’s finally went up and I updated the “books” page. So we’re in business! There are still a lot of little things to add (links, etc) [...]
