Chocolate Banana Cake With Burnt Caramel Rum Sauce
I always have bananas on hand because they are one of those fruits that make a great snack and are so good for you. I’m ashamed to say that in the the summer time, most of them don’t get eaten because there are so many other wonderful fruits to choose from. So in these cases,…

New York City Summer Fancy Food Show 2014 – Bigger And Better Than Ever
Attending the Summer Fancy Food Show is an event I look forward to every year for so many reasons. This mammoth, bi-coastal production takes place each year in 2 locations — a winter event in San Francisco and a summer show in New York City.

Thin Crust Pizza, Perfect For A Warm Summer Night
I don’t know of anyone who just doesn’t love a good pizza. Whether it’s a thick crust or a thin one, pizza is a treat you should enjoy at least once a week. I’m the kind of person that likes both types of crusts and sometimes even a deep dish. I enjoy, and in fact…

Steak & Cheese Popover Pancake With Crispy Fried Onion Strings
I had been craving a steak and cheese sandwich all day, and could not wait to get home to prepare one for dinner. Once home, I realized that there was not even one slice of bread in the house, but I was still determined to make this work, because I just could not hold out…

Butternut Squash Lasagna With Port Wine Cheddar Bechamel
I just love to make lasagna. It’s one of those meals that can easily be made to serve a large crowd or one that can be made and pre-portioned into mini meals and enjoyed on busy weeknights. I recently made a traditional version using a slow simmered Bolognese sauce and ricotta using large egg roll…

Making Homemade Nutella
The winter here on the east coast can be quite dangerous—not only because our weather can be so unpredictably cold and snowy but also because when the weather is so terrible, I spend a good bit of my time in the kitchen coming up with new recipes and techniques to share with my loyal readers. …
