Your Fall Cooking Lacks Some Commitment

by

Now, don’t get me wrong, I love fall and its jauntily worn scarves, changing colors, hot cider and rich pumpkin. But fall lacks commitment. That sweater we pull on Saturday morning to walk to the farm market will be tied at our waists as soon as the sun climbs higher in the sky. Caps, perched well above the ear, are worn more for fashion than warmth. And the crystalline blue sky, while crisp and clear, is far from cold.

New York City Wine and Food Festival’s “Trade Tasting” Review!

by

Each year, one foodie event that so many New Yorkers look forward to is The Food Network and Cooking Channel’s New York Food and Wine Festival.  It marries two things that New Yorkers hold very dear:  our love to eat and drink the best the city has to offer in the same place, at the same time.  Time is money, so on Friday, October 14, 2016, I wasted neither getting down to Pier 94 to check out this year’s selections at the Trade Tasting hosted by Southern Glazer’s Wine and Spirits.  This invite-only event was a chance for those in the industry to check out what is new and hot and chilled on the food, wine, and spirits scene.
