Macarons Are Everywhere

April 19, 2010
TJ Macarons

Sometime in 2007 I started getting into macarons – by 2008 I was sampling macarons all over New York and musing that macarons were the next cupcake, an invasion of the macarons really.  I think macarons are now past the invasion point.  Look at this: Yes, macarons in the frozen aisle at Trader Joe’s.   […]

Ramp Season

April 12, 2010
Ramps

I was thrilled to see ramps at the Dupont market yesterday morning. I have always eaten them atop pasta, but last year my dear friend Melita told me how another traditional way to eat ramps is fried up with potatoes. I peeked at a bunch of recipes on the web.  Most of them say something […]

I love street festivals, and one of my favorites is the Sakura Matsuri Japanese Street Festival, which coincides with cherry blossom season in Washington, DC.  This year was the 50th such festival, and there were many people out and about today: The festival stretched several blocks.

Day After Christmas Snack Plate

These last few months, one of my favorite new things has been to make snack plates.

Incidentally, I love baby spinach […]

Vegan Brunch: Homestyle Recipes Worth Waking Up For--From Asparagus Omelets to Pumpkin Pancakes

Lately I have been eating more tofu – partially because I no longer have to avoid it quite as strenuously as I used to, and partially because I am always on the lookout of new things to add to my diet.  When one eats a fairly restricted diet, variety is key. The other nice thing […]
