As a woman that loves food photography, I wish I could say amazing dishes were being constructed in my kitchen. The ugly truth is that I have no patience for anything that requires more than 3 steps. I like to pretend I’m epicurean by talking to myself in voice of Julia Child’s while...
Linguine e Gamberi (Linguini with Shrimp) in white wine and olive oil.
Nothing is better than homemade pasta. Nothing. Here’s a full proof plan to make your own noodles without needing a pasta maker or any fancy machinery.
I could live off of this and Pinot Grigio for the rest of my life. Well not really. I would miss Bordeaux too much! But it sounds pretty gosh darn good right about now. Here’s a simple yet out-of-this world recipe for bruschetta. I highly recommend this with a glass of your favorite...

Like most women, chocolate is my kryptonite that I am completely powerless against. Today’s photo subject was chocolate truffles. Forget the fact that there are four bags of them in the house, and I wanted any excuse to dump out an entire bag onto my plate. Of course I had to...
