from Soup Suppers by Arthur Schwartz One of my favorite “food personalities” is Arthur Schwartz, known to many as “The Food Maven.” You need to be of a certain age to even know who I’m talking about as his career has spanned over 40 years. I first became enamored with Arthur during his 12 years on WOR … Continue reading
The New Complete Book of Pasta by Maria Luisa Scott & Jack Denton Scott Autumn is soup season. I could eat if for breakfast, lunch and dinner at this time of year. So when a friend told me I had to try this recipe, I was eager to oblige. However, when she told me the ingredients, and that it … Continue reading
Julia Child’s Mastering the Art of French Cooking After posting a recipe from Stanley Tucci’s cookbook, my mind naturally went to Julia Child, where he played her husband in the 2009 film, “Julie and Julia.” I love this movie for the cast, humor and plot. Afterall, Julie is a blogger, who takes on the task of cooking … Continue reading
Try as I might to refrain, I’m often tempted to purchase a new cookbook (or two) if I find myself intrigued by an author, or concept, or just about anything that will push me into the “I’ve got to have it” mode. This time it was Stanley Tucci’s travel/culinary series on CNN, entitled “Searching for Italy,” that … Continue reading
In my last post we looked at my mother’s first cookbook, from 1959, and now we’ll jump forward to 1973 and look at some of the recipes that were popular then. While I don’t plan on addressing my cookbooks chronologically in this journey back through my kitchen memories, the next cookbook I’ll share is my first cookbook .…..if you … Continue reading
I’ve taken a break from blogging, but I have missed it. I got caught up in the lethargy of the pandemic, and like many others I’ve spoken to about this, I just wasn’t interested in the things that usually I loved to do. “Languishing” is the word I’ve heard many use to describe how they’ve been feeling … Continue reading
“How much pesto can you eat?” is a question I always ask myself around this time of year. By the time it’s nearing the end of August, I’ve had pasta with pesto sauce one too many times. It’s time to freeze it, so I can enjoy it again during the winter months to perk my spirits. Then I look … Continue reading
It seems that I make one major mistake every food delivery. I either misjudge the quantity and get enough shredded cheddar cheese to top a couple of hundred tacos or I have enough limes to keep me in margaritas for the entire summer. Unfortunately, this means I have to use it up before it goes … Continue reading
This is one of my favorite recipes, as it was given to me from a friend, along with the actual pork chops to be cooked! Yes, she delivered the pork chops, and a delicious suggestion of how to make them. How lucky could I get??!! I should explain the “cult following” that these pork chops … Continue reading
There’s two day left for Holiday cookies, and these are quick and easy. Actually, I don’t need a holiday to enjoy these cookies. I make them all throughout the year. They remind me more of Sunday dinners, rather than Christmas or New Year’s. You could always count on a relative to bring an assortment of … Continue reading
