A Chinese New Year Banner
Come February, Lindy the Banner Designer and I usually go romantic, with a Valentine’s Day Theme. But this year was different. “What about Chinese New Year?” Lindy proposed and I said, “Sure thing!” As you can see, her banner is a veritable feast for the eyes. So thanks to her and thanks to Raphael Brion…

7 Years
It’s been seven years exactly since I wrote my very first post on this blog. Usually, when an anniversary comes along, I use the opportunity to share my favorite posts from the archives.

The Taste Test Update
Hey fans of The Taste Test, the show where I taste three different foods all of the same kind to compare and contrast them, there are a bunch of new episodes up on the site: don’t miss sugar, butter, olive oil, beer, and milk (which has a shocking conclusion.)

New Dishes
The last time I wrote about dishes on this blog it was in April 2008 when I wrote a post called “Meet The Plates.” Serious Eats was amused and linked to it in a post called “Adam Roberts’s Quirky, Idiosyncratic Plates.” The idea back then, in 2008, was that each of my guests at dinner…

Not Food
Those of you who loaded up the blog today may have noticed a new section in the navigation bar above: that’s a new blog-within-the-blog called Not Food where I plan to write about everything that’s not food related. So load it up and you’ll see reviews of the book “Nixonland” and the Broadway revival of…

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!
