Cuisine. Culture. Commentary.
If you’re into food and cooking, you want to experience that passion in every way possible. You want to taste it and read about it. I’m also guessing you want to watch it. There are plenty of movies out there for people who, like me, are obsessed with food. Here (in no particular order) are…

The Dish: The scene in the beginning – where Andy painfully recounts his “crazy” weekend spent making an egg salad sandwich with all the “accoutrements” – kills me. I think it sets the tone for the whole film. You know this movie is going to make you laugh and push you into that awkward zone.…

After I posted a picture on Twitter of me sipping my coffee (not the one pictured above), the coffeecupview tumblr asked if…

I feel like I’ve been cranking the work out this week – a pretty good feeling. I’ve been busy enough at the office to be extra thankful that it was a short week thanks to MLK day. I spent my day off work at the movies, watching an indie flick and eating lots of buttery…

First and foremost, I must thank author Tatiana de Rosnay, who educated me on the despicable Vel d’Hiv event. Like the characters in the book, I had no idea this happened. In July of 1942, French police and French buses – not German – rounded up thousands of Jews in Paris while French citizens turned…
