Must Read: Commentary On The Proposed Food Bloggers’ Code of Ethics…
May 11, 2009 By 1 Comment
Sorry this didn’t make the weekly roundup but I felt it was important to spotlight this post on Elle’s New England Kitchen and Elle’s insightful commentary on the "Food Bloggers Ethics Code". I wholeheartedly agree with Elle and her commenters. As you know, I’m pretty upfront – if I like something, I’ll tell you. If I don’t, I’ll tell you. Either way, it is what it is. We’ll call it the Open Book Policy. However, I personally don’t feel that… [Continue Reading]
Homemade Mustard, Not Impossible…

One thing I have to thank the Top Chef producers for – bringing to the home viewers attention other great chefs that might not necessarily be on the Food Network or Fine Living. Recently on the Tivo, I discovered a plethora of new shows – Jose Andres, the ever present Ming Tsai and, one of my new favorites – Hubert Keller. On one of the recent episodes, he based a whole show just on the condiment that is found in every good… [Continue Reading]
Cookin’ ‘Round The Web…

Here are some fab. articles and posts that I found while on the Internet this past week. Frugal Urbanite weighed in on the cost of organic produce… The Reluctant Gourmet discussed why we flour meat while cooking… Dana over at The Daily Fashionista dropped in at the book signing for Stephen Hartigan’s new book "No More Takeout"… One of my favorite Philadelphia chefs, Jose Garces, won a James Beard award and you better believe I cheered. If you are ever… [Continue Reading]
Colin Cowie’s New Summer Line for HSN…
May 6, 2009 By 4 Comments
Colin Cowie debuted his Spring/Summer line for HSN today and, I have to confess, I spent quite a bit of time with my jaw to the floor going over the products. Some of the products, I had heard about in advance but my poor wallet is screaming at me. Thankfully I was able to get cash back from Mr. Rebates but still… eeeks! I did, however, control myself with a couple purchases I’m still thinking about. When it comes to entertaining,… [Continue Reading]
Cinco De Mayo, Skinnygirl Style…
May 5, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Yes, I admit it – my name is Lys and I watch Bravo’s Real Housewives. What can I say – it’s a guilty pleasure for many. I, personally, enjoyed the NY season and I am looking forward to all points Jersey (but hello – why not Real Housewives of Philadelphia – Bravo, take note! We’ve got Main Line, Manayunk, Rittenhouse, etc.) However, I digress. One of the characters that was enjoyable this season was Bethenny Frankel, the natural foods chef and… [Continue Reading]
Spicin’ Up Your Sangria…
May 3, 2009 By 2 Comments
Cinco de Mayois just around the corner and, like before, I’m still on the fence of “Do I or Don’t I” get a sangria pitcher. When it comes to cocktails, a well made sangria is in my top 5. However, I think when I make it, I’d like to add a little “Za Za Zu” to the presentation. Luckily, La Tienda is having a sale on their sangria pitchers but there are so many to choose from. Colorful ‘Flor’ Design… … [Continue Reading]
