You feel like a culinary burglar when cooking in someone else's kitchen: A little hesitant with a foreign countertop, knife, pantry.   Pulling open 2 or 3 drawers for an item. Getting the timing right with another's oven, stovetop, even toaster. I've mentioned the rules I follow when helping cook a meal in someone else's kitchen.  Here's an updated set of rules for when you volunteer (or are

This will not happen next year.  It would be too soon to host 12 persons.  That's not as huge a number as you might guess but it includes parents and in-laws so it becomes more than just an exercise in eating food.  Fortunately everyone gets along amazingly well.

I don't care how good the airline meal is or how hungry you are - it's not supposed to be memorable. An airline meal is entirely affected by which direction you travel: it marks the beginning and the end of a trip overseas.

It was a great weekend for cooking and entertaining. Many times a portion of a dish does not get executed according to plan: a bad mix of ingredients, something gets overcooked or overspiced, etc.Other times everything comes together to really make an impression.First meal this weekend was on Friday night.Sousvide Lamb w/roasted tomato, cauliflower, mushroom.

Atlanta's Morningside Farmer's Market is a city treasure.

I'm filled to the gills. Today in Atlanta, GA on the WestSide of town, I celebrated with a few hundred others at JCT Kitchen & Bar the Killer Tomato Festival benefiting Georgia Organics.

Today marked my television appearance on a local show, Atlanta & Company, about food & wine & lifestyle in the ATL. The weekly segment is produced by Metromix Atlanta with the following format: Three people are invited to discuss one restaurant that is chosen by one person. The other two visit the restaurant separately and all three come back to share their experiences. Thank you Dora Burke

As mentioned previously I am in the running for the last spot on the reality series airing on PBS called The Winemakers.The producers on August 7th will make a decision on who that last person will be using criteria which, in part, is determined by the popularity (measured by number of views) of their audition videos.Right now I believe I'm in second place behind Tammi Ramsey.
