Sneak Peek: Our New Kitchen
Hey, check out the kitchen above…I hope you like it because that’s our new kitchen! After a frantic search that lasted three weeks (ugh) my friend Nick e-mailed me a link to an apartment in Atwater Village on Wednesday morning. The funny thing about that is each morning I would wake up and the first…

In The Night Kitchen
Right before Maurice Sendak died, he did a series of interviews (most notably with Stephen Colbert) that revealed him to be a lovable, slightly grouchy, artist of the highest caliber. I’d known his work, of course, from Where The Wild Things Are and, perhaps more obscurely, Really Rosie but I’m embarassed to say I knew…

I Love My New Pot Rack (PLUS: A Kitchen Makeover)
Is it possible to love an inanimate object? Was Johnny 5 really alive? These are questions for philosophers, not food bloggers. All I know is that I love my new pot rack. It all came about because Craig had been complaining about how disorganized our kitchen was and so, for his birthday, I decided to…

Nine Years
Nine years ago I wrote this and my life changed. Thank you all for continuing to make this blog a place where I can share recipes, tell emotional stories, make cartoons about trips to fancy restaurants, write songs, reenact the fall of Saigon from “Miss Saigon” with eggs in my microwave and procure advice about…

It’s The SECRETS OF THE BEST CHEFS Nationwide Book Tour (Celebrity Chefs! Lavish Dinners! Me!)
[All of the pictures in this post by the brilliant Elizabeth Leitzell] It’s rare that life offers you a reason to pinch yourself.

How I Fixed The Lighting In My Kitchen
Last we talked about my L.A. kitchen, I’d mentioned how much I hated the overhead lighting. Fitted with a round, white fluorescent bulb that would be difficult to replace, the resulting light had all the charm of a middle school science lab or the waiting room of a hospital. I tried to time my cooking…

Setting Up Our New Kitchen
The last time that you saw our new California kitchen was in this post, “Our New Kitchen.” But that was our kitchen the way it was set up before we arrived. Now that we’re here, big decisions had to be made: where do I put the plates? Where do I put the spoons? Where do…

Our New Kitchen
It happened, people. We found an L.A. apartment in a great location that’s clean, in a great neighborhood (Franklin Village, right beneath the Hollywood sign) and–most important to me–with a bright and sunny kitchen. I mean look at it. Wouldn’t you want to spend a lot of time in there cooking? We move in on…

Someone’s In The Kitchen With….
Tomorrow at 3 PM EST I’m starting a new feature here on the blog, a live-streaming web show I’m going to call “Someone’s In The Kitchen With….” Each week, a different guest will swing by my kitchen to teach me how to cook something and, more importantly, they’ll answer your questions LIVE on the web.…

Collecting Vintage Menus to Hang in My Kitchen
I’m not sure how the idea came to me. How did it come to me? Ok, I was in San Francisco, staying with my friends Kristen & Felix, and I had a bit of a cold (another illness! Proof that I’m dying?) While coughing and sneezing in their guest bedroom, I was noodling around on…
