A day late again! Eventually I’ll get back on track… in the meantime, I’m glad it’s only by one day. Quite a lot has been written about salt in recent years – from Mark Kurlansky’s best-selling book, Salt: A World History, to New York City’s proposed “ban on salt”. Despite the public’s mixed feelings about saltContinueContinue reading “Media Review: Salt”

A Tale of Two Sundays
Last weekend began my spring season of local wandering. Almost a year after starting this blog as part of a food blogging class with Steven Shaw (see the link to the International Culinary Center Foodblogging class on the right), I accompanied Steven and members of his 2010 class (as well as my former classmate, AnaContinueContinue reading “A Tale of Two Sundays”
Tuesday’s Top Five – LA Edition
I’ve always been an East Coast girl, even when I lived on the West Coast. Even more so, I’m a New Yorker, and as such, I’ve been a little prejudice against Los Angeles for a good long time.

Catching Up – Why I Cook

Yesterday was amazing. the day started with a big early breakfastContinueContinue reading “Mountain Time, part 3”
Mountain Time, part 2
The room I’m staying in has a cozy sitting area. One window looks out onto the hot tub on the deck and, at night, a forest of white-light-crusted pines. the other window, as I discovered this morning, has a groomed ski trail running right by it, and a stunning view of the mountain trails. It’sContinueContinue reading “Mountain Time, part 2”
Mountain Time, part 1
I arrived in Salt Lake City today for a family ski vacation. a storm started coming through just as we arrived. the drive up to Deer Valley through Park City was harrowing, but beautiful. We are staying at the home of a family friend… an absolutely gorgeous condo/house with an array of amazing original artworkContinueContinue reading “Mountain Time, part 1”
