Spiced Upside-Down Apple Cake

22.11.2009 Baked

The very last issue of Gourmet sits in a stack along with the most recent issues of Saveur, Bon Appetit, and Food & Wine — all barely touched.  Holiday catalogs I’d rather not receive lay scattered in the mix as well reminding me that I should probably pay attention.  How can it be the end [...]

Waldorf Salad sans Mayo

10.11.2009 Cookbooks and Magazines

We’ve been eating quite a bit of soup and salad lately.  With the business of our lives, it often seems to be the only way to make sure we don’t fall into the take-out habit, or worse, microwaved frozen food.  Call me a food snob — or better yet, consider that it’s not challenging [...]

Warm Spinach Salad with Bacon and Pomegranate

24.11.2008 Fall

Does anyone remember eating warm spinach and bacon salad?  I think the first time I tried it was at my aunt's house when I was in junior high.  There was something fascinating about the sweet and tangy taste of it…and the bacon?  Right.
I'd love to take credit for this recipe which is a lovely, more [...]
