Photographing for Pat LaFrieda Meat Purveyors – Short Ribs and Tomahawk Steaks (and Recipes)

My recent projects (the fourth and fifth) with them were their super fresh, gorgeous beef short ribs and tomahawk (also known [...]

The cheesecake set in my Nordic Ware Pro Form 9 inch Leak-Proof Springform Pan

Cheesecake. I’ve baked, chilled and eaten so many different variations and interpretations in my life that I think I’m coming close to becoming jaded. Nevertheless, my family has a strange obsession for this dessert and requested it for [...]

Yogurt Themed Brunch

Earlier this week, I received a bunch of Dannon Activia yogurts by Foodbuzz (seen here) to cook a brunch for a couple of friends.

I’ve tried the flavors prior to making anything. I had vanilla, and their fruit flavored yogurts Harvest Picks of peach, strawberry and mixed berry. They tasted good. It’s not too thick [...]

Caviar Dinner for Christmas Eve

Caviar Star’s variety of caviar and a slab of salmon fume

My Christmas Eve dinner almost sounds like a New Year’s Eve dinner, come to think about it. Since I’ve cranked out different dinners for different guests for the past two days, I planned to create a lighter yet still very luxurious [...]

Homemade Macarons – à la Pierre Hermé

If you’ve been one of my longtime readers, you know I have an obsession with macarons. I admit I go insane over Pierre Hermé macarons. (When I landed in Paris for vacation last May, the top “must do things” on my first day was to go to any of Hermé’s boutiques and have his macarons [...]
