It’s that time of year again, friends! Farmers Markets across New England are finally opening this month, encouraging us pale, undernourished customers to flock towards the tents to purchase their offerings.

Sure, this early in the season, most of the farmers really only have lettuce and other greens to sell, but nonetheless,

Some of you may know it, but we used to live in London.  Although we love living in Brooklyn, the one thing that makes coming back really difficult is the distances. By moving closer to our friends and families, we moved away from the low-cost flights to continental Europe, away form the train that could

Have you ever visited a place, and immediately recognized that it was special?  Your heart may have quickened a bit; you had the urge to explore every nook and cranny; you may have simply wanted to move right in and make yourself at home.  Could this be described as having a

I miss Paris – the gorgeous gray buildings, the bridges over that little river, the cranky taxi drivers. Oh, let’s be real for a moment; I miss the food more than anything else. And since my initial post on Paris Foods You Must Eat (part 1) did so well, I thought an encore was in

Spring has sprung.  It was a glorious morning as I set out for the east bay to check out the Berkeley Farmer’s Market. The air was crisp and heavily scented with jasmine and cherry blossoms.  *sigh*  I love spring mornings…
I decided to head across the bridge to the other side of the

Have you ever had sweet mint tea in a just-blossoming garden filled with bright blue furniture and bright-eyed strangers, all of you just waiting for the minutes to tick, tock, tick, tock away? I have.
And the tea was so very sweet. It was honey-hued, the consistency of a sugar syrup. With a taste like candy,

It’s not often that we are absolutely, completely shocked by a wine.  However, this aptly named wine – The Electric – from Red Hook Winery did just that at a recent tasting.  The winery is very new and this 2008 bottle is one of about 6 different wines making up their first line of commercial

Let’s be honest. Paris may be a foodie mecca, but all that amazing food isn’t a breeze to find. You have to research, ask the locals and scout out those hidden gems (far away from all the tourists). I did a lot of those aforementioned tasks and have produced my first “Paris Foods You Must

Flat Black Coffee Company, Boston

A few months ago, I gave up on my coffee machine. I was sick of the dull, bland and at times very bitter coffee that it produced. I stopped making coffee at home and took up a rather expensive quest of trying to find a really good, consistent coffee shop that
