I take pride in my ability to operate beyond the habit of “point-and-eat” food blogging.
The day Pies n Thighs returned to Williamsburg – opening its doors one block from my front door and mere hours after the Week of Eating In had ended – was no occasion for pride. It was an occasion for nonstop [...]
My favorite reason for eating in is that it brings people together and allows them to share. This is a counterintuitive statement for someone whose own family dinner table has always been a bit of a black hole, but perhaps that’s exactly why cooking with friends feels so satisfying to me. Last Friday ended with [...]
Tell a 20-something New Yorker that you’re spending the week eating in, and you’ll surely get some surprised responses; still, thanks to a new bloom of food-savvy home and community cooks (Cathy included), you probably won’t face blank stares. Tell a 20-something New Yorker that you’re no longer going to drink at bars or clubs, [...]

This is the babka that officially sank my streak of eating in. Say what you will about my lapse in willpower, but if you utter a lowly syllable about the babka, you are banned from my life.
I spent this morning slushing down Bedford for a medical appointment. While trudging back up from the heart of [...]
A vengeful sinus infection has been making my already hectic week fundamentally Hellish, but thanks to my batch cooking reserves, whole grains and abundant produce I’ve continued to eat in well. Since I didn’t have the time or strength to produce a video this afternoon, I thought I’d share my favorite way to go about [...]
When people hear the word “whole foods,” I think a cloud of buzzwords typically attached to the phrase makes the concept more obtuse than it needs to be. A whole food is simply a natural food that hasn’t been processed, and thinking about it this way makes it a lot easier to incorporate whole foods [...]
When I accepted Cathy’s offer to be on the blogging team for the Week of Eating In, I envisioned myself incorporating bold new moves into my cooking repertoire.
Then, I realized that this is deadline week for Ice Cream Man’s Off the Wookie, an annual magazine of which I am the editor. Add this to the [...]
When I started reading food blogs in early 2007, two web sites jumped out at me right away as great resources with great voices. The first was Monster Munching OC, a deep reservoir of informed, informative and fun reviews of an expanse of land with much more amazing food than most people realize.
The second was [...]
Every so often, I relish poor decisions. This is rarely the case when said decisions involve food and never the case when they involve champagne (though it is always the case when said decisions involve relish).
In a case for rarity, last week’s snowtorious blizzard, which for me capped about a month of intermittent winter illness [...]
