HAVING BIRTHDAY CAKE & EATING IT TOO
TODAY IS MY BIRTHDAY and to celebrate the first day of my 26th year, I am sharing a photomontage of my favorite things in the world. Some of these, of course, are food – I made a whole Sweet & Salty Cake by Baked last night! – but many are friends who liked me even [...]
SHORTY AWARDS • Earning My Fruit Stripes
IT’S BEEN A GOOD MONTH despite the glum weather and slow starts to new projects. I once spent two months in a hospital bed so if there’s a prize for playing the Waiting Game, I think I’d win it. But while some parts of life have been dragging along, other bits have been speeding ahead, [...]
A NEW YORK STATE OF WINE • offManhattan.com
ANYONE WHO’S EVER WAITED 12 MONTHS FOR A PEPPERMINT MOCHA knows our yen for some beverages are not only season specific, they are time-sensitive too. We look forward to light cocktails in spring, citrus notes in summer, and the aromas of cider to ease into autumn. Recently, we discovered a new wintertime favorite, mulled wine. [...]

I am off to buy ice packs after I finish [...]
Chocolate FOR THE WIN
I’VE BEEN BAKING. And crushing, chopping, melting, stirring, sifting, pressing, spreading, cutting, rolling, dipping, and photographing like mad. Two weeks ago, I entered the Brooklyn Chocolate Experiment thinking, “Fourteen days will surely be enough time to overcome 25 years of kitchen nightmares, to pick a worthy recipe and, of course, to write about it.” With [...]
Amy Blogs Chow takes over @ZAGATBUZZ
I ATTENDED THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION of the French Culinary Institute on behalf of ZAGAT this Monday. Initially, I was just attending a panel discussion and after-party, but when I asked my editor if I could tweet about the evening among French folk and amuse-bouche, he suggested that I beam the event to the foodie [...]
Tasting Table Delivers
SOMEHOW I MANAGED back to Midtown on my own two feet after Tasting Table‘s Great Taste Debate at Hill Country last night. Good thing too, as all-you-can-eat events have a way of making me feel like I swallowed a whale. Still, it was a well-done evening with free-flowing tequila, a cupcake tower, whole roasted pig [...]
