The invitation from Yelp read: ‘a tutored tasting of one of a kind cocoa creations, chocolate bars, and chocolate cocktails from the chocolateria menu at Artisan du Chocolat’ and I felt like little Charlie Bucket when he peeled back the wrapper of his hard-earned Wonka bar and first caught the glint of his [...]
Thanksgiving is without question my favorite holiday of the year. It involves all the things I love most – family, friends, fun in the kitchen, and obscene amounts of food. Before returning back to Boston for the annual FamilyStylesFoodFestFunTime, Chris and I decided to organize a London Thanksgiving to comfort the Americans missing their [...]
Thursday’s Rambling Restaurant was a boozy festival of wine tasting and matching canapes – so many glasses of alcohol that I’m amazed I could stand up straight long enough to take any of these photos. We partnered with the lovely and charming Dan of Bibendum Wines to do a casual and relaxed evening [...]
I’m in the midst of a serious cooking week. Wednesday and Thursday were both Rambling Restaurant nights at our secret location in Camden Town. Tomorrow is our London Thanksgiving party that started as a few friends and has somehow mushroomed to over 20 people and we still didn’t manage to fit everyone we wanted [...]
“Hey, buddy.”
“Yeah, that’s pretty cool.”
“Mushrooms? what kind?”
“…Wait, What?”

“It was orange?!”
“OK, so let me get this straight. You saw an unidentified fungus growing out of a rotting tree trunk, saw it was bright orange, and thought: hey let me put [...]

In approximately three weeks, Deadpan Restaurant, Ithaca’s newest secret supper club, will be hosting its first event. What’s a secret restaurant, you ask? Good thing we already wrote a post on that: big sister lays it down for the uninitiated. We’ll be serving a three course meal at a to-be-revealed location. Look out for more announcements! After all, [...] Most of the time, eating meat seems simple. After all, processed meat in the grocery aisle is neat, clean, and offers us little in the way of reminders that we are eating something that used to be alive, that had a head, feet, fur or feathers. Deer in Ithaca are so populous that they’re essentially pests [...] Who doesn’t like to think and read about Thanksgiving deliciousness, even if it’s well after New Year’s? No one, that’s who. This beauty right here is a kahlua pumpkin pie with a latte-art-esque design in heavy cream, courtesy mostly of one Daniel Bartholomew. We made sure to use real pumpkin (boiled it ourselves and all) and [...] Bright colors are nice too. At the last Rambling Restaurant of 2009, we served a trio of richly colored dips – chickpea hummous, beetroot hummous, and carrot cumin dip. So pretty in pink. For maximum dippability, we prepared straight-out-of-a-hot-oven-and-onto-the-grill flatbreads. Take Moro flatbread recipe (recipe below), multiply by 15 (eek!) and you have [...] Product of the day |
