TV. Food. Pop Culture.
Bravo didn’t post any screen shots of last night’s Top Chef: Masters (an episode that featured a bride who looked like Carrie Underwood with giant boobs — or as I like to call her, Carrie Boobserwood), and so I figured I’d helm my own culinary minded post with yet another installment of Adventures in Domesticity. …

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 …

Inspired by my many Adventures in Domesticity, my mother asked me if I wanted to make something for the Passover dinner this year. How could I say no? Well, very easily, but as it turns out, I was intrigued by the offer. But what could I make? Then it hit me. I could whip up …

It’s been a while since I posted about a Fresh Cocktail Hour. In the past, my friends and I have conjured up Bloody Marys and jalapeño margaritas from scratch. At last I have a new addition to the canon. Last weekend, in a fit of impromptu citrus indulgence, I decided to buy some blood oranges …

This morning, there was as wonderful confluence of events that led to an unexpected Adventure in Domesticity. 1) I ran out of my normal breakfast cereal that I eat everyday; and 2) I learned it was National Pancake Day, at least as declared by IHOP. What better way to fill the breakfast void than by …

Impressed by my ever involved Adventures in Domesticity, my mother last month gave me two Julia Child cookbooks: Julia Child & Company and Julia Child & More Company. My mom, who likes to call herself C-Side, explained to me that more than any other tomes, these two cookbooks elevated her culinary education. This was all …
About a month ago, I discovered the Sichuan cookbook Land of Plenty by Fuchsia Dunlop online and became immediately intrigued. The collection of recipes has received rave reviews from critics, bloggers, and buyers on sites like Amazon, and after having perused various images of dishes people had whipped up from the book, I felt an …

It was all cold and rainy in LA on Monday, and for whatever reason, this spurred on an insatiable craving for chocolate cake — one that I could not quell, no matter how hard I tried. Making matters worse was that Mark Bittman had just written a piece about chocolate layer cake, and if that …
