~ Making the Leap from Louboutin to Le Creuset
This weekend, some seriously fabulous bloggers will be visiting the City of Brotherly Love for Bloggy Boot Camp and I figured that, in honor of the SITS Girls' arrival to my fave city, we'd do a Fab Friday – Bloggy Boot Camp Style with things perfect for a blog conference. Fab Friday - Bloggy Boot Camp Edition-Cooking In Stilettos 1. In any blog conference, comfort is key and, while flats and I are far from BFF until I get clearance, I still think they are an excellent choice … [Read more...]
Can you believe it is only a few weeks until summer's unofficial kickoff - Memorial Day Weekend? Where does the time go? I have a few things planned this month but this summer – all bets are off. After being relegated to Cooking In Sneakers for the time being, I'm determined to get sandal ready for spring and add to my kitchen with some new lovelies. Come – take a peek at this week's obsessions. Cooking In Stilettos ~ Fab Friday ~ May Sandal Edition … [Read more...]
What's that saying ~ Everything Old is New Again? That applies to not only fashion but also to the home. With all that I'm seeing in the stores, if I just saved some of my neon and pastels from back in the day, I would be right on trend (at least shoe & accessory wise *LOL*). So, with this holiday weekend, I figured I'd give you a little eye-candy that might have you do a little virtual retail therapy. Cooking in Stilettos: Fab Friday ~ Pastels and Neons With A Dash of Rustic … [Read more...]
The 2012 Cookbook Season has begun, my friends. And, to kick it off will be one of my faves, Giada de Laurentiis. Giada de Laurentiis has written her latest, Weeknights with Giada: Quick and Simple Recipes to Revamp Dinner, and it will be in stores starting March 27th. For us Philly peeps, we have some great news - she will be visiting the Williams Sonoma in King of Prussia on March 29, 2012 at noon. As always, it will be a packed house so, a bit of advice - wear the flats and leave the … [Read more...]
Recently, I went into my local Barnes & Noble and was greeted with this sight that got me thinking... I never really noticed the plethora of "celebrity" cookbooks until recently. It seems like every celebrity not only must do their normal 9to9 (acting/singing/"reality show"/etc.) but they also must have a fashion line, a fragrance (or more in the case of a few celebs), a beauty line, a book and, if their agent/manager can finagle it, a cookbook followed by a food/drink line, … [Read more...]
One thing I'm looking forward to is a day of R&R in one of my favorite cities - The Big Apple. This year's Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival is set up a bit differently in that the demos are at the Grand Tasting Tents so the likelihood of me running around the city like a chicken with my head cut off like last year is null and void. The tents are near one of my favorite happy places, Chelsea Market, and, if time allows, perhaps a quick jaunt to the store with a shoe floor … [Read more...]
If you watched the Food Network's Secrets of a Restaurant Chef, Worst Cooks in America and Iron Chef America, you already know that Chef Anne Burrell cooks like a rock star. For years she was Mario Batali's right hand on Iron Chef, with recipes that would often secure the defeat of any challenger and they got it done in under an hour. Since her show's debut, Secrets of a Restaurant Chef has taught viewers tips and techniques to make any dish fabulous and is a constant on my DVR. Last … [Read more...]
Ahhh - the arrival of fall not only signals all things pumpkins, falling leaves, apple cider but, also, cookbook season. There are a number of celebrity chefs that will be heading to your local city to do book signings of their latest release for you and you can get some holiday shopping done at the same time. I have heard QUITE the buzz about Bobby Flay's latest release: Bobby Flay's Bar Americain Cookbook: Celebrate America's Great Flavors and it is at the top of my "must get" list. They … [Read more...]
Life is all about the curve ball sometimes. Someone pass me the Cruzan please because this gal is going to need a cocktail before this day is over. So, as I try to think happy thoughts, here are a few things that have me enamored this weekend as I look forward to September's impending arrival. Fab Friday - Cooking In Stilettos Edition by cookinginstilettos featuring high heels 1. I promised you I'd wait a bit and, well, since it is after the 15th, I can actually talk about something … [Read more...]
When I first started cooking, I thought French cooking was stuffy and wouldn’t be something I would ever attempt, let alone enjoy. Boy was I wrong. A few weeks ago, I saw mention online about this fab cookbook, The Bonne Femme Cookbook: Simple, Splendid Food That French Women Cook Every Day by Wini Moranville, and, [...]
This month’s Secret Recipe Club not only gave me an alternative to the local takeout restaurant but also one of my new favorite blogs – A Tale of One Foodie’s Culinary Adventures. Erin’s blog is chock full of some seriously delicious recipes that it was so hard to choose just one. I promise that if [...]
