Book review of Camilla V. Saulsbury’s Panna Cotta: Italy’s Elegant Custard Made Easy
I had never heard of panna cotta before I saw it made on Iron Chef a few years ago. I obviously do not frequent many Italian restaurants, mainly because I live in an Italian restaurant wasteland where white dinner rolls (you know, the […]

 
A recipe from Southern Flavor caught my eye - not just because it seemed quick and easy to make but also because it appeared to encapsulate ’souther flavour’ in its use of bourbon and pecans. I reviewed the recipe book back at the end of March, Southern Flavour: Recipes and Stories about the food and people […]

I don’t recall any celebrity chef in […]

Jennifer McCann is amazing!  No more needs to be said, but for the sake of disbelievers I will continue.
 Chef Extraordinaire may be the ultimate compliment for some cookbook authors, but few can claim the title of “Creative Super-Mom”.  Jennifer’s playful imagination is well matched by her overall talent in the kitchen, compassionate vegan lifestyle, and […]
