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! […]

Passover-The Closest to Christmas we get.
Growing up in a Jewish household was fun because it made me a little different then most of my peers in school.

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 […]

Bonjour! After all our travel delays, we finally got a good nights sleep and enjoyed our first full day in Paris!
