Last month’s egg-oriented Fork You Live is finally up and ready for your consumption!  I’m not quite done writing up the recipes, but I should have those up over on forkyou.tv by the end of the day.  This was a fun show to film and the episode turned out to be […]

For a lot of years, I didn’t really think of Farmers’ Markets as a place where one actually did any food shopping.  I considered them a treat, a supplement to regular trips to the grocery store, where you bought highly priced peaches, an unnecessary loaf of bread and a single bunch of fancy herbs.  That […]

For those of us who grew up with air poppers or microwave popcorn, making popcorn on the stove top is something of a foreign concept.  However, it far tastier than the other stuff and, in the case of microwave popcorn, comes without the crappy chemical toppings.  You can top your stove […]

I’d been wanting to do an episode on breakfast sandwiches for sometime, as I was certain that I could easily outstrip the ones you get at fast food joints. I’m so glad we gave it a try, because the sandwiches we made were so much better than I had anticipated. They were delicious […]

Several months ago, I struck up an email correspondence with one of the editorial types over at Culinate, an online food magazine.  We chatted back and forth about food writing and Portland.  Eventually she suggested that if I was ever inclined, I’d be welcome to send a piece or two her way, for possible publication.  […]

I’ve been remiss in mentioning this until now, so hopefully it’s not too late. If you are in the Philly area and are free tomorrow around 2 pm, head over to Foster’s Homewares (399 Market Street) and be in the studio audience for the first-ever Fork You Live. Half cooking class, half live […]

I’m having some people over for dinner tonight.  It’s mostly potluck, I’m putting together the main dish.  I settled on doing a baked pasta dish.  Then I decided to complicate my life a little by doing one bake with turkey sausage and one without.  Then I decided to do two completely different sauces instead of […]

Here it is, folks. The very last episode in our Thanksgiving series, in which we make a dish that I like to call Turkey Pot Shepherd’s Pie. It combines all your Thanksgiving leftovers neatly into a single dish that is easy to make, very flexible and quite tasty when reheated the next day. […]

Until this last July, the only time in my life I had been paid for my writing was when I ten years old and submitted an essay to the Oregonian’s Thursday children’s page. They paid a whopping $10 for the right to print the story, an amount that seemed thrilling back in 1989. […]
