Deadline Week
Hey folks, I owe half my cookbook to the publisher on Friday so, as you can imagine, I probably shouldn’t be doing too much blogging this week. Wish me luck as I finish those final pages and I’ll see you back here on Monday!

How To Make A Caesar Salad
I make Caesar salads all the time and whenever I do, I forget to take pictures. Maybe it’s because it’s such a loosey-goosey process–how much garlic, how much anchovy, how much Parmesan & lemon is all a matter of taste–but, still, my Caesar salad is very good (as evidenced by this post).

Chicago Bound
Hey readers, I’m heading to Chicago the 2nd week of August to cook with chefs and home cooks for my next book and I need your help. Who are your favorite Chicago chefs? What are your favorite Chicago restaurants? It’d be great if you could share the less obvious ones (yes, I’ve reached out to…
