Locavores everywhere are jealous of anyone with a root cellar. A root cellar is an under-earth method of storing homegrown produce to make it all last through the non-growing season. I don’t have one, but a girl can dream. Without one, my squash, pumpkins and gourds sadly just don’t make it past November. Then again,

The West Village of New York City is my favorite neighborhood in the entire world. Really. And this new little gastropub solidifies the neighborhood’s standing with me.
The Highlands is a Scottish-owned and designed boutique restaurant that has stolen my heart. Now if only I could get me to NYC to give it a try. Most

With honor and pleasure, I got the chance to eat at Delancey in Seattle, Washington last week. And here’s what I have to say about it: It’s good… darn good… good and special. I was so happy to have satisfying food in such a charming atmosphere.

I hate to say that I lowered my expectations at this newish Gloucester joint, but I did. I really anticipated hating every single item on the menu at Latitude 43. And I had good reason to! First, the outside looks like a Joe’s All American Bar & Grill – ick! Next, the menu is long

In the June issue of Men’s Health magazine, Anthony Bourdain lists the “13 Places to Eat Before You Die” (which I discovered via Russ & Daughter’s great blog). Of course, the moment I saw the post, I tweeted it to the world, just like any diligent food blogger would. When I pressed send to share

The weather is getting warmer, the New England ocean is suddenly more blue and the views from each mountain is more picturesque. Suddenly friends from all over are visiting their friends in New England. (We never hear from ya’ll the rest of the year, but as soon as the snow and rain and cold temps

Bye Bye, Vesuvio Bakery

An old friend shared this photo on Facebook earlier this morning. Without much fanfare or publicity, Vesuvio is gone.
I don’t live in New York City any longer, but I’m still very, very sad. I had a tiny apartment around the corner from this spot in the ’90s. The bread was very good, but the community
