On my to-do list: Chocolate Raspberry Tiered Cake
via bellaeats.com
All my favorite colors in one photo: Tiffany blue, raspberry red and CHOCOLATE! I want to make this cake ASAP.
I like trying new restaurants. I collect business cards from each. I also love to cook.
By day: I'm the Director of Interactive Strategy for a PR firm.
By night: I love going out to eat as much as cooking/baking (i.e., a lot). I also like hosting dinners/brunches for friends and family, outdoor activities (running, biking, hiking, etc.) and basically just enjoying NYC. I'm interested in healthy living and am currently taking a class on nutrition.
I've loved cooking and baking since I was a little girl. My grandparents love to recount a story from when I was about five years old. My birthday was approaching and they asked me what gift I would like. Without a moment of hesitation I said, "well, I do like to cook..." That year they gave me a pink and blue milkshake set, probably for fear I might light my hair on fire if I was given something to be heated. I can see those milkshake glasses and straws perfect in my mind's eye!
This site will be comprised of short food-related snippets from my life - what I'm cooking, where I'm eating and whether I'd do it again. I still collect business cards from every restaurant I visit and record them on Google Maps (see the "My Culinary Adventures" post).
The content you read here represents my thoughts alone and not those of my clients or employer. But if I mention a client, I'll let you know. If you want to contact me, send an email to the first two initials of my first name + my last name at yahoo dot com.

To-Do List
Pasta alla Norma - The Amateur Gourmet
September 13, 2009 Update: Although this dish was delicious (and quite easy to make), it was not the same Pasta alla Norma to which I am accustomed from Otto. We modified the recipe slightly by adding chicken sausage (for protein). We also made a red onion and red pepper foccacia (using fresh dough from the pizza place across the street) with olive oil, thyme, rosemary, kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.
I love the Pasta alla Norma at Otto and will be making this dish at some point this fall.
