Continue ReadingI’ve never been a huge fan of salad dressings. After living in Italy, I learned to love the simple flavors like extra virgin olive oil with a touch of salt or a simple balsamic glaze. Garlic oil, however, has recently entered into my favorite category. Ever since I visited Pastabilities in Syracuse, NY I’ve just wanted to eat it (see my post on my take on Spicy Hot Tomato Oil).…

Continue ReadingSpicy Hot Tomato Oil is one of my favorite foods in Syracuse, New York. When visiting my brother, he and his wife brought me to a restaurant as a welcome. Pastabilities, a modern Italian restaurant, serves delectable pastas and sauces. (To be completely honest, I only sampled the pasta when I was there — the carbonara and lasagna. Though, I like my carbonara and lasagna better 🙂.) I really loved my…

Continue ReadingYorkshire pudding, from an American’s first perspective, is one of the craziest and strangest ways to make a German pancake. (Though, now I would say that Yorkshire pudding is more of a popover than a German pancake albeit that the differences are minimal.) When I first moved to England, I was rather reticent to try it. I mean, growing up eating Germain pancakes made me wonder at how it might…

Continue ReadingTwo months into the years I lived in Italy, I realized that my roommates had bought tons and tons of cookies. I hadn’t figured out why and decided to ask. “Breakfast of course!” Obviously stunned by the response, they invited me to sample their breakfast the following morning. Italian breakfast cookies take Cookie Crisp to a whole new level! I had cookies for breakfast several times after that (usually Mulino…

Continue ReadingI’ve spent a lot of time staring into the endless void this weekend (the refrigerator). I went on a picnic and couldn’t decide what to bring as my contribution. A picnic pie would have been lovely, sandwiches would have been too classic, fresh bone eye steak aren’t very good unless they’ve been cooked. My mind could not settle on a dish, and then a lightbulb went off. ** BING **…
