One of the fun things about showing up at Foster’s on Saturday was the fact that before we even walked through the doors, we were greeted by the sign you see to the left. You see, I had done most of the set-up and planning with the folks at Foster’s and so they weren’t [...]

My roommate moved out this morning.  I have now been the only resident of Apartment 2024 for nearly 14 hours now and the thrilling novelty of it is still only just setting in.  However, there is part of me that is still not adjusted to this new reality.  Every time I hear the elevator bell [...]

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 [...]

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. [...]

I didn’t leave my apartment today until 6:15 pm.  I spent the day puttering.  I did a load of laundry.  I put away all the kitchen appliances that got pulled out as I got ready for Thanksgiving (I have a kitchen storage annex behind the coats in my front hall closet, as my kitchen isn’t [...]

Last night Scott and I went to Ikea (he needed a new shower curtain and I apparently needed a child-sized set of pots and pans).  While we were on our way there, he turned to me and said, “So, do you know what tomorrow is?”
I thought about it briefly before saying, “My half birthday?”
He laughed [...]

Part two of our three-part series on how to do a yummy Thanksgiving has landed. In this episode we make creamy garlic mashed potatoes and gingery peas and carrots (this is not actually one of my traditional side dishes, but Scott doesn’t like string beans, so I changed my ways a bit). You [...]

This month Fork You does Thanksgiving! In this first episode, we brine, smoke and devour a 12-pound turkey. Let me tell you, it was delicious. If you’re looking for a brine recipe, here’s the one we used.

The latest episode of Fork You has landed and let me tell you, it’s a good one. We filmed this one more than a month ago, in Jessie’s lovely carriage house apartment. We made two big pots of risotto that were both delicious (I could have gone swimming in the butternut squash one, [...]
