Test shoot: Carrots
March 29, 2012 – 8:12 pm
I spent the better part of a recent weekend styling test shoots with Cleveland photographer Ricky Rhodes. We worked in the urban comfort of Kalman & Pabst Photo Group.

Chicken Croquettes: The Real McCoy
March 12, 2012 – 5:05 pm
By this time, I believe everyone is familiar with the McDonald’s “pink slime” Chicken McNugget video. What appears to be a heaving mound of Pepto-Bismol pink soft serve ice cream, barely contained in a cardboard box, we discover, is the fast food giants’ processed chicken matter waiting to be fried into McNuggets.
A Taste of Chacala

The name has since changed, but my signature dessert of Baked Hot Chocolate, developed for the opening menu, has not. Food writer, Aleksandra Crapanzano, was inspired to [...]
Glorious Granola from Eleven Madison Park
January 14, 2012 – 4:01 pm
A meal at Eleven Madison Park is captivating – an exquisite parade of culinary jewels to be savored mouthful by grinning mouthful, and the delight doesn’t stop when the last trace of dessert is cleaned from the plate.
Recipe Test Wrap
December 16, 2011 – 11:18 am
Wiping down the last straggling crumbs from a six-week long Kitchen Boss season two, recipe test. I’ve been stuffed to the gills with tasty eats since the end of October – oof. Take a gander at that beautiful pie – look Ma, no wood burning or high-end oven at Pizzeria Heidi. One doesn’t need pricey [...]
