As many of you know, we’re very excited that later this week, Sous Chef Andrew will be “Retiring” from teaching and taking a new job in corporate America. To celebrate his impressive tenure as a Social Studies Teacher at Westside High School (which includes winning teacher of the year), I knew I had to throw […]
Potato and Leek Soup (With Bacon)
There are few things more comforting and more delicious than a steaming hot bowl of homemade soup. We were at the farmers market and they had the most wonderful red new potatoes; combined with feeling a little under the weather, look no further than homemade potato soup! My grandmother always made potato soup, and always […]
Boeuf Bourguignon
It’s okay – before we proceed say it out loud a few times like Julia Child would “beoufff bourguignon!” There, now that we got that out of the way, you can read the whole post in her voice. Better yet, talk like her the entire time you make this recipe which is what I do! […]
Pappa al Pomodoro
I’m not sure there is anything that reminds me of Tuscany more than Pappa al Pomodoro! The first time I had it, Andrew and I were on our honeymoon in July 2014, and I remember it like it was yesterday; we were sitting on the patio at La Grotta, in Montepulciano in the heart of […]

Is this food or am I eating a cloud?
Although I’ve “had” soufflé, I’ve apparently never eaten it before! OMG was this place delicious! We had read all the excellent reviews about Le Soufflé, and I have to admit I wondered: “how great can it be?” Out of this world great, is the answer! To start, I had the cheese soufflé and Andrew had […]
French: No Frills or Fuss
Bonjour! After all our travel delays, we finally got a good nights sleep and enjoyed our first full day in Paris! I know why they call it the city of love – beautiful architecture and monuments on every corner, quaint cafes and Brasserie’s, beautiful people and of course, beautiful food and wine. When American’s think […]
Bonjour from… New York?
Bonjour loyal THC followers! We’re just sitting in a cafe enjoying some champagne and the picturesque Paris architecture… only we’re not! Due to a mechanical issue with the plane, we were diverted to New York where we’ve been stuck since last night. I don’t know what the issue was, but as a frequent traveler who […]
French Onion Soup
Bonjour! We’re just one week away from our long awaited trip to Paris, and in honor of our trip, I thought I’d share my fabulous recipe for everyone’s favorite French classic: French Onion Soup! My version is cheesy, ultra boozy and absolutely scrumptious! This soup is ultra filling, so consider making it as a main […]
