Can You Handle the Stink?

Pleasant Ridge Reserve is our "house" cheese. When it first appears in October it has a totally different smell, and taste than it does when it finally runs out...usually around April. As it has become more well known I fear the limited supply will be depleted sooner. Perhaps my genius husband deserves a wheel for Valentines Day...nothing says love quite like the stink of cheese.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'The Elements of Cooking'

Heat. Without it you're not cooking. With inadequate heat you can wreck the best ingredients, and with too much heat you can run afoul as well.

Cook the Book: 'Happy in the Kitchen' Giveaway

It's that lovely feeling I get when I come home and I know what I want to cook and I'm just feeling it...pulling the ingredients, chopping dicing, sauteing. A good glass a wine, some good music, great smells...it's home.
