Why honeymooners you might ask? Simple. So many of us are home just the two of us for close to two months because of Corona virus lockdown and you just want some cake. What to do? You can’t scale down a cake with an 1/8 of an egg, it’s ridiculous and not doable. So how […]
In my many years of dining out, I must’ve eaten a kajillion Niçoise salads, some excellent, some eh and some weirdly awful. There are certain things that tend to be basic to the salad, but I was in the mood for one and decided to go with a few changes in the tradition. I skipped […]

On average, I think I’ve made hundreds of different types of chocolate chip cookies (CCC) in the quest for the perfect one. The truth is, there are so many different kinds I like that I finally realized it’s fun to simply have chewy, crunchy crispy etc. as long as it’s delicious to eat. So, here […]
