The Demise Of An American Institution – The Soap Opera

April 14, 2011 By 2 Comments
all-my-children-logo

Throughout my lifetime, there have always been one constant - the soap opera. How many times did I race home from school to see what was going on with Erika Kane and her one of many husbands, or to see what drama was befalling Luke & Laura and those crazy storylines that seemed so far-fetched but appealed to many. So, when I read that ABC has cancelled All My Children and One Life To Live to replace them with a show called "THE CHEW" (and, sidenote, another called The Revolution), I … [Read more...]

EatPrayHealJapan-Small

I don't know about you, but when the quake and tsunami hit Japan, my eyes were glued to CNN and my heart broke when I saw images of the devastation. There were heart wrenching photos of children crying, people left homeless, and a country in shock. With news of yet another quake that affected Japan today, the time to help is now! A bunch of Top Chef alums, led by the original Stiletto Chef, Candice Kumai, are participating in a benefit Eat, Pray, Heal Japan: A Night to Benefit the Children … [Read more...]

Tried and True Candice Kumai’s Pretty Delicious Apricot Chicken

April 5, 2011 By 2 Comments
ApricotChicken-Final

When I was younger, I never really got into apricots. The most I remembered was that there was this doll that I had that smelled heavenly - Strawberry Shortcake's Friend Apricot With Hopsalot. However, since I was far from a fan of peaches (I dunno why, just still not too much of a fan)and since, in my young mind, an apricot resembled a peach, I shied away from anything even remotely apricot.  That association stayed with me through the years - until recently. When I flipped through … [Read more...]

Nigella Lawson To Visit Philadelphia, New York and More

October 28, 2010 By 4 Comments

What a year it has been for book-signings in the Philadelphia area - Giada de Laurentiis, Daisy Martinez, Tyler Florence, Bobby Flay, Barefoot Contessa and NOW one of my absolute favorites - Nigella Lawson. I never really told you the story of how I started to understand that I really could cook, did I.  The long and the short of it is that I can credit Nigella as one of my first culinary inspirations along side of Colin Cowie.  When I lived in New Hampshire, I can distinctly recall … [Read more...]

Question to the Readers: Next Food Network Star…

July 20, 2009 By 1 Comment

Last week it was all about the Top Chef; this week it's onto the Food Network version - Next Food Network Star.  Is anyone watching this and, if so, what are your thoughts so far? Personally, I've approached it with a tinge of bitterness since my fave chef blogger, Bren of Flanboyant Eats didn't make the final cut.  This season, IMO, has had too much drama and way too much crying.  However, I am excited to see John Besh & Marcus Samuelsson as part of the dinner party attendees … [Read more...]
