  • Kitchen Colors

    |

    We move to our new apartment a week from today (ahhh!!!), and this weekend my friend and new neighbor Rob and I are going to paint the new kitchen. The question: what color should we paint it!? Craig and I are leaning towards orange–check out this gallery of orange kitchens on Apartment Therapy–but I’m very…

  • I’m A Peanut

    |

    Yes that’s me up there in this month’s delicious new banner–another masterwork from Lindy–having baked The Great Pumpkin into a Great Pumpkin pie. (If you can’t see it, clear your cache and reload the site.) Thanks, of course, to the uber-talented Lindy and the ever-helpful Justin for making the site look great, as always.

  • Orecchiette with Broccoli & Pancetta

    |

    Here’s something for you to cook this weekend, something from the archives. It comes from The River Cafe Cookbook, a book I no longer own, but no matter. It’s an easy enough recipe, I have it memorized. So easy: I can squeeze it all into this paragraph. Boil a pot of water, add salt. In…

  • How To Make a Chocolate Souffle

    |

    One of the highlights of making our Amateur Gourmet show for Food2.com, was the day we got to visit the kitchen of Le Bernardin–one of the nation’s, if not the world’s, great restaurants–to learn how to make a chocolate souffle from revered pastry chef (and blogger!) Michael Laiskonis. What follows is the video we made,…

  • The Great Cookbook Purge of 2009

    |

    Nobody likes moving. It’s a daunting process: first you have to find boxes, then you have to find packing tape, then you have to put all your stuff in the boxes and then you run out of packing tape and then you find you have more stuff and you need more boxes, etc, etc. It…

  • My Name is Potato

    |

    Since I already put up one video today, I can’t think of a good reason not to post this crazy music video from 1977 called “My Name is Potato.” Tell your head to get ready to have a song stuck in it. [via Metafilter]

  • A Cheap, Easy Knife Sharpener

    |

    [Apologies, for the annoying squiggle in this video podcast: my computer is getting old, people.] If that video made you desperate for a link to that cheap and easy knife sharpener, here it is: AccuSharp 001 Knife Sharpener. I can’t recommend it enough.

  • Back To School

    |

    This month’s banner is taking us back to school for a very important lesson on Autumnal baking. Thanks to Lindy, once again, for her terrific art and Justin for getting it up on the page. Now stop passing notes, you rapscallions, and pay attention.

  • Dinner at Whole Foods

    Dinner at Whole Foods

    |

    I met my grandparents for dinner last night at the Whole Foods in the Time Warner Center. My grandparents are here in the city for the next week, and choosing a place to eat can be a bit tricky. Once I took my grandmother to The City Bakery for lunch, and when she saw the…

  • Where To Eat in Barcelona?

    |

    [UPDATE: Hey, if you came here on a search looking for where to eat in Barcelona, click the following for all of my Barcelona tips: Barcelona’s Best Bites.] Eager readers, the time has come. A.G. Loyalists will remember my post from December where I announced, rather deliriously, that I’d just scored a reservation at El…
