NYC Events

Apr 10, 2009
I'm planning some design changes to this site and am dropping the book events since I only have them when a book comes out, at which point I'll just post. Publisher is not sending me on the...

A First?!!!

Apr 1, 2009
OK, it's early, my mind is fogged, can this be true? We've followed the blogs that have lead to book contracts. Julie/Julia, of course, not to mention the movie. Adam Roberts came through with an...

Blog Break: March 23 — March 29

Mar 23, 2009
“Palm Beach sprawled opulent and plump between the sparkling sapphire of Lake Worth, flawed here and there by house-boats at anchor, and the great turquoise bar of the Atlantic Ocean.  The huge...

Duck Prosciutto

Mar 18, 2009
One last duck splurge: had some shots of a recent duck prosciutto to share. A magret duck breast packed in salt, rinsed, dried and hung for a week. Magrets are the breasts from ducks raised for...

Duck Confit: It's What's For Lunch

Mar 13, 2009
Oh, how I love duck confit. The crisp skin, the unctuous flavorful meat. There are few things better. Seriously. It’s up there with bacon. Not only is the taste of it profound, the very idea of...

Ad Hoc Cookbook Giveaway!

Dec 9, 2009
Photo by Donna I have two copies of Ad Hoc, signed by Thomas Keller, to give away, courtesy of Artisan (thanks, Amy!)  This is an even more valuable offer than I thought it would be because I see that Amazon is sold out until February, as are many...

Pâte a Choux Photos

Dec 7, 2009
Here is the interior of a gougere, a cheese puff that was made for the video. I like this photo because you can see how it could also be a pastry puff filled with puddings, creams or chocolate. I photographed this for Michael’s Ratio book which ran in...

Pâte a Choux Video

Dec 7, 2009
We felt it was time to try to add video and here’s the first attempt.  WARNING: very low tech and echo-y sound but we couldn’t wait any longer so my friend Joe appeared one afternoon with a camera and there we are. Like the blog, the videos are a...
