Hello! I will be traveling for two weeks in Paris and London. I would love to read about suggestions on places to eat across the pond (at any price point, any type of cuisine) and if the hyped-up places are as great as people say they are (ex: L'as du fallafel).

What kinds of savory food do you eat when it's really hot outside?

I have some leftover steak and am trying to figure out what to do with it. I know I don't want to make a sandwiches. Suggestions?

I bought some creme fraiche on a whim b/c it's hard for me to find, but I don't have any idea what to do with it at the moment! I know it can be used in place of sour cream and in desserts on the side. But where else can it be used? Pasta? Other savory dishes?

Hi everyone! I just moved to Palo Alto and am wondering what the good eats are in the area. If you have recs that are near Palo Alto, I would like to hear about those too.

I have always gotten great suggestions from Serious Eats whenever I didn't know what brand or what feature I should look for in a kitchen appliance. So now I have another question - with all the blenders in the market today, which one is the best one that's easy to use and that will last a long time?

Well, my dad doesn't have diabetes, but he is working on lowering his blood sugar level. His birthday is coming up and I would like to bake him a birthday cake. Unfortunately, cakes and generally desserts have a lot of sugar. Do any of you have suggestions what to do in this situation? I don't want to use Splenda or any of the other artificial sweeteners on the market.

I am on the lookout for a good food processor - something that doesn't break easily and is not too loud (ideally).

Generally I buy loose-leaf tea in random stores, but have found no time these days. Also I have always been curious of what's out there on the internet and which brands are good aside from the mainstream ones.
