December 21st, 2009 admin

I feel a little weird at the moment. Here I am in the beautiful city of Barcelona, it’s freezing outside, there are pretty lights and decorations everywhere. My diary tells me it’s 4 sleeps until Santa comes. But it doesn’t feel like Christmas. It’s just not warm enough. I digress. I didn’t drop by to whinge today.

No Fourth of July picnic or barbecue is complete without a potato salad of some sort.

So I’ve been in Spain for 2 weeks now and you’ll be happy to know I have managed to tear myself away from the markets and my little kitchen and venture out to a couple of restaurants and a wine tasting. Actually even the wine tasting had amazing tapas, but I digress. I haven’t yet found anywhere to try the most famous and possibly...
The other day I went to lunch with my friends, what I ordered was so fabulous I just had to recreate it here and share it with all of you!

One of my favorite things about summer is going to a farmer’s market and being surprised by an ingredient that you don’t see too often. Such was the case this past Saturday when I went to the monthly New Amsterdam Market –which by the way, is THE best market in all of NYC. In addition to the usual array of stunning produce, and...

I have to thank my daughter for getting me to try a kale salad, I thought it was strange not to cook it, I thought it would be really bitter, I was wrong. Whole Foods makes a very popular kale salad here which is beautifully displayed in their deli, the demand is so great that sometimes they run out, I bought a small container one day on the advice...
