Foodie Find – Brooklyn Creamery Single and Double Cream and In-Store Event #BKCreamery

May 18, 2015 by Aly 18 Comments

Brooklyn Creamery | Cooking In Stilettos

When I first started on my culinary journey so many eons ago, I remember scouring the local supermarket in OTown looking for “Double Cream” because one of my favorite cookbooks, Nigella Bites, often used it in the recipes. I’d get the “huh” “whah?” blank stares from the clerks as if I was batty and I knew I wasn’t reading the recipe wrong. Google taught me that while I may love my Brit cookbooks and foodie mags, double cream wasn’t always easily available over here – nor was “single cream.”  I could substitute the American equivalent “heavy cream” or “light cream” but from what my friends who were overseas told me “it’s NOT the same.”

While grocery shopping at the local Giant this week, I happened to come across these lovelies…

Homemade Tuna Casserole | Cooking In Stilettos

I always love a company that gives back.  Chicken of the Sea is celebrating their 100th anniversary by paying it forward.  They are awarding 100 Great American Gratitude awards of $10,000 to community champions across the country (that’s $1 million dollars in total) and need your help.  They are looking for individuals and various organizations who would benefit from a Great American Gratitude Award and will be going on The Great American Gratitude Tour.

Chicken of the Sea - 100 Years of Good
The Great American Gratitude Tour will be visiting Philly August 16th and 17th at Philadelphia Folk Festival at 1323 Salford Station Road in Harleysville, PA (right outside of Philly).  They will be there on August 16th from 10 am to noon and on August 17th from 10 am to 9:30 pm.  So you can go to the festival, hear some great music and meet the fabulous people of Chicken of the Sea and find out more about their Great American Gratitude mission.

Giada de Laurentiis To Visit Philly Area To Sign Giada’s Feel Good Food

October 31, 2013 by Aly 2 Comments

Giada de Laurentiis Giada de Laurentiis has a new cookbook set to launch November 5th – Giada’s Feel Good Food: My Healthy Recipes and Secrets. With a focus on healthy yet simple dishes that are packed with flavor – this book will be the perfect holiday gift for those that want to start the new year on a bit of a healthy note.  Also in this book are her tips and tricks on maintaining a healthy lifestyle – one of her commonly asked questions.

On November 8th, Giada is scheduled to visit the Williams Sonoma in King of Prussia at 3:oo p.m. and, at 6pm, she will be heading to Wegman’s in Malvern to sign copies of Giada’s Feel Good Food . For the King of Prussia signing, tickets are moving quick and they only have a limited amount available. I also heard from a little birdie that Giada will also be signing copies of her new children’s books – Recipe for Adventure: NAPLES! and Recipe for Adventure: PARIS! – at the Williams Sonoma location. BTW – I leafed through the last night and they are beyond adorable. They would make a fantastic holiday gift for the little ones!

Sunny Anderson Is Cooking (and Touring) For Real With “Sunny’s Kitchen”

September 10, 2013 by Aly 2 Comments

One week from today, one of my fave people, Sunny Anderson, will be embarking on her first book tour for her debut cookbook, Sunny’s Kitchen: Easy Food for Real Life. Sadly, Philly didn’t make the tour stop cut but she’s heading to both Woodbridge, NJ and Wexford, PA, only a short road trip away.  If you ever get a chance to meet Sunny, know this – she is one of the most real people you will ever meet.  She has the biggest heart, an infectious laugh and to see her realize her dreams (and then some), it’s inspiring!

This cookbook has been a labor of love for her and, for those that follow her on Twitter, y’all know she has let us all take a peek into her journey. From the buzz I’ve heard, this cookbook is a must for everyone’s cookbook shelf and has a ton of fabulous recipes. Let me tempt you a bit – we’re talking Southwestern Chicken Pot Pie, Sweet Tea Fried Chicken, Pumpkin Pecan Pie French Toast and, the must make Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies. This lovely has been pre-ordered since January so knowing that next week I get to “cook for real” and play with these delish dishes, I’m excited! Plus – I also ordered a copy for the iPad for those moments when I’m either cooking from the iPad or traveling. (SL – you know that the next dinner at your spot is going to feature her Stovetop Mac & Cheese, right?)

For those that can’t get to see her on book tour, you can get a signed copy through the Food Network Store too!

Check out what cities Sunny has on her agenda:

Iron Chef Michael Symon Returns To Philly With 5 in 5

August 29, 2013 by Aly 1 Comment

September is just around the corner and y’all know what that means – book signings galore will be hitting the Philly area. I got the scoop on a few and let’s just say it’s going to be busy, cookbook shelves will be full and those holiday gifts – I say scoop them up now because I know a few people that would love a personalized signed cookbook from their favorite chef – including one of my faves, Michael Symon.

Yup – you read that right – Iron Chef Michael Symon is returning to the Philly area to promote his newest cookbook – 5 in 5: 5 Fresh Ingredients + 5 Minutes = 120 Fantastic Dinners.

If you watch The Chew, you know that one of the most popular segments they have is 5 in 5 – where Michael makes a dinner using 5 fresh ingredients in 5 minutes. Not bad, huh? Forget calling takeout – he’s got you covered on a busy weeknight….
