Tiny Test Kitchen

As most New Yorkers know there are a plethora of markets all over this city.  Williamsburg has more than most; we have the Brooklyn Flea on Sundays, Artists and Fleas open all weekend, the new Northside Market and since, the amazing Smorgasbord on Saturdays (which has the same website as the Brooklyn Flea).  Smorgasbord is […]

While I adore living here, one of the slight inconveniences of living in New York City is not having a car. It makes it more than a little challenging to go do a large shop from a supermarket resulting in my doing most of my shopping online at FreshDirect. One great category that they have […]

It seems that I just can’t keep on a timely schedule at the moment.  What with holiday weekends, traveling and attempting to ready ourselves and our apartment for our new arrival in just over a months time.  I have felt so guilty for not posting but if I told you what we had been eating […]

A little while ago the hubs and I were lucky enough to go to taping of an episode of Saturday Night Live and the taping of the Jimmy Fallon show in one week – I know, I know, when it rains it pours! These tapings along with errand running meant that I would spend more […]

When I first became pregnant the largest change, other than the earlier night and the no drinking, was my diet. You become aware in a way that most people do not have to worry about that everything you put in your body has to be healthful and nurturing. Essentially, your baby is what you eat! […]

As many of you, my dear readers, know I cannot join in the traditional festivities of Cinco de Mayo. On this gloriously gorgeous and sunny day, I will be avoiding the flavored frozen margaritas, pitchers of sangria and highballs of michelada while I am just waiting for my little one to get here. But I […]

Today I was this close to scrapping these delightful mini cheesecakes and writing about something decidedly English in honor of the royal wedding on Friday. Something along the lines of fresh crumpets with a homemade Meyer lemon curd (very Rule Britannia) but as I made a promise that I would post this recipe shortly, I […]

As Valentine’s Day fell on a Monday this year we didn’t quite have the time for a long drawn out meal. We were in the midst of moving and I was still feeling the effects of the dreaded first trimester 🙂 ! We split the meal over two days and had these delicious Smoked Gouda […]

Even though this dish is named Normandy Pork after a northern region of France, it just screams England to me. Maybe it’s the fact that in England we love to use apples in our savory dishes as well or it could also be that this dish was made at a lot of dinner parties when […]

This time last year the hubs and I were sitting down and conducting a very serious and extensive taste test of pimento cheese sandwiches. He had recently come back from Augusta, Georgia where he had watched a day of the practice rounds. Sweetly, of course is he ever anything other, he bought, ate and memorized […]
