The spate of Korean cooking continues in my kitchen. What can I say? I love the cuisine. This time around, my friend Bets joined in on the fun, and after perusing through my cookbook, we decided upon an intriguing chicken stew of sorts — one that looked both delicious and easy (two of my favorite …

Today the book Reality Matters hits store shelves, and I want each and every one of you to buy it. The volume is an anthology about reality television, and not only has it been edited by my friend Anna David, but it also features the contributions of such authors as Toby Young (Top Chef), James …
