Food Network New York City Wine and Food Festival Is Just Around The Corner

September 13, 2011 By Leave a Comment
NYCWFF2011Logo

I was looking at my calendar the other day and noticed that the Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival is coming up fast. I seriously don't know where the time went. One minute we were at SOBE, the next the Atlantic City Wine & Food Festival sipping on some Bourbon Cider cocktails and now I have some serious wardrobe planning for NYCWFF. There's something about being in New York City during the crisp fall months - it's pure magic from the minute you arrive. Food Network New … [Read more...]

Sunny Anderson Showcases Fab 4th of July Sides On GMA

June 30, 2011 By 1 Comment

With the 4th of July fast approaching, Food Network's  Sunny Anderson showcased some delish side dishes on Good Morning America this morning, including her Easy Baked Beans, Summer Corn Salad and a creamy Potato and Prosciutto Salad.   Well, that corn salad will be on the menu this weekend and, possibly, the baked beans. While the Barefoot Contessa had a good recipe for baked beans, I have to confess, it seemed somewhat daunting to this gal.  Sunny's recipe seems super simple and won't have … [Read more...]

Cooking ‘Round The Web – Week Ending Nov. 6th

November 6, 2010 By 1 Comment

What a crazy November it's been so far, and it's only the end of the first week. Here are a few posts that got my attention and I wanted to share with y'all while I was catching up on my Blog Reader. One of my fave people on Twitter is @StilettoChef aka Candice Kumai from, you guessed it, StilettoChef.com. Anywhoo, her blog is fab, but even better was this great article that she wrote, Pantry Staples: What To Keep On Hand After Life With Mom, is something I wish I had when I first embarked … [Read more...]

Crossing Another Culinary Goal Off The List

October 3, 2010 By 2 Comments

Remember when I decided to make a list of my 2010 Culinary Goals - well, another is about to be crossed off the list - yours truly will be attending New York City's Wine & Food Festival. Some of the country's top culinary talent will be in attendance and  I have a host of demos and panels to attend as well as a "master cooking class" with one of my faves, Alex Guarnaschelli.   Plus, blog fave Sunny Anderson will be doing a demo so I'm hoping one of my panels doesn't last longer than … [Read more...]

Tips & Tricks – Cast Iron Skillets

July 18, 2010 By 4 Comments
Lodge-CastIronSkillet

For the longest, I have never had an actual cast iron skillet.  Sure, I have my Le Creuset but those lovelies are enameled (and let this gal toss them in the dishwasher).  After watching one too many episodes of Cooking For Real and Viva Daisy, I noticed that  a cast iron skillet appeared to be a favorite go-to piece.  Sure, it's not too expensive and from what my father told me, my Bampa used his cast iron skillet often.    So, with that, I decided to visit the local Tar-Jay and … [Read more...]

Tried and True: Sunny Anderson’s Shepard’s Pie with Mushroom Onion Gravy

January 1, 2010 By 2 Comments
ShepardsPie.jpg

In my family, Shepard's Pie is one of those dishes that is a must.  Perhaps its a nod to the Irish heritage.  Perhaps it was something that my Bampa made when I was a child  However, I have to admit, I never even attempted to make it once.  That is until I caught an episode of Cooking For Real and Sunny Anderson was making Shepard's Pie with Mushroom Onion Gravy.  Oh my lord - I will NEVER make Shepard's Pie any other way again! I have to thank Sunny because not only was this the piece … [Read more...]

SOBE 2009: I’m So Excited…

February 21, 2009 By 5 Comments

No, don't worry - I won't break into a rendition of the track from The Pointer Sisters.  I'm not THAT cruel and, of course, my singing is banned here in the Sunshine State. Tomorrow I'm headed down to sunny South Beach for the 2009 Food Network's South Beach Food & Wine Festival.  Granted, I'm crazy tired from the daily grind but when a gal hears that some of her fave personalities (and bloggers) will be in the area, well then - one needs to go. Sadly, one of my fave chefs/blogger … [Read more...]

The Second NFNS Finalist Gets The Boot…

June 9, 2008 By 1 Comment

One of the things I look forward to every week is the commentary after this week's Next Food Network Star on FNDish from Amateur Gourmet's Adam and FN's own Sunny Anderson (joined by her bro, Drew, who seems to favor Ms. Lisa). Sunny had some great tips re: poaching eggs (something that I have YET to master) and some insight on what really should have went down. They should let Adam and Sunny judge on of the eps next season (just my opinion).And, yes, for now, my vote is for Philly fave, Aaron … [Read more...]

Recap: Next Food Network Star from FNDish…

June 2, 2008 By 2 Comments

The Amateur Gourmet's Adam Roberts and FN Star Sunny Anderson have some great commentary on last night's episode.Check it out. Sunny, chica - get out of my head. Last night I dubbed Lisa "Posh" and leave it to you to call out "The Neck" done Nipa Style. I will say this, I liked everyone's recaps, both on FN Dish and on the blogs, the most. And, of course, I got a kick out of the guest judges, especially Morimoto & Giada.What did you think of last night's episode? Did you watch?This content … [Read more...]
