I make kale chips several times a month.  And it’s one of those things that I make slightly differently every single time…well, because the versatility is endless and these leafy greens are pretty forgiving when it comes to flavor experiment...

The all-consuming visual crack-like addiction known as Pinterest has claimed me.  I can’t get enough of the visual, written, and creative inspiration that is out there.  I usually hit up the Food and Drink pages first…and then I slowly make m...

The Super Bowl is coming up, and we all need good football-watching food ideas.  Wait.  Who am I kidding?  I don’t need football for this dip.

Pea and Pancetta Soup
Oddly enough, the term 'comfort food' is not something I ever grew up hearing in France. I think it's because so much of the food really is, inherently, comfort food that it would make for quite a redundant label. From creamy potato puree, to ...
