Well it seems just like yesterday that I was sticking stuff on sticks and making photos of them! It sure does! But now that it’s here — well, almost here — I’d like to extend a very special offer to you, my food blogging friends. Would you like a review copy of On A Stick!, [...]

Since it’s officially gift season I can think of nothing better than cookbooks, can you? And when they all look good [...]

This week’s book review from Kristina makes an avid traveler like me want to head straight to the closet, grab a bag and toss some stuff in it and head somewhere. And then eat non-stop. I’m loving all these reviews and can tell I’ll need to make a curry today. I don’t know why, but [...]

Earlier this morning food writer and NY Times columnist Melissa Clark tweeted this: Now as a photographer and someone who gets paid to photograph recipes and cookbooks you might think that my answer is a solid YES. But it’s not. I believe that great writing like Melissa’s can be enough, photos don’t always have to [...]

I’m off to Paris and am leaving you in the mighty fine hands of Kristina Gill. She regularly covers book reviews here and this week it’s all things Paris! Take it away, Lady K! Despite my hourly contact with Matt on a daily basis, it was way after the fact that I learned that he [...]
