The weather is turning cold and rainy, so my instinct to eat hearty foods is increasing. A few weekends ago, I craved a rich and meaty bolognese sauce. Granted, it’s likely because I’ve been overdosing on old episodes of Lidia Bastianich’s TV shows. I grew up watching her on PBS, and I love the ease [...]
I haven’t met a dumpling that I didn’t like. Well, ok … maybe a filling or two that I wasn’t fond of but when you wrap anything in a thin layer of carbs, it just tastes magical! I started making my own dumplings a few years ago, first wonton and then soon came potstickers. I’ve [...]

I intended to make this using penne but realized the penne I recently bought was very small for some reason. [...]

It made me think about a trip I took with a friend to her hometown of Chicago when we were in college. Her Austrian grandmother made us [...]
It’s such a crappy picture, but it tasted good. My camera woes will hopefully be behind me soon … just waiting for a new lens to arrive next week. In the meantime, more mediocre pictures of food. But I digress. How many of you have tired or heard of fregola? I’ve seen the name written [...]
