Even though spring is (supposedly) around the corner, its been pretty frigid. There was a blizzard of sorts here on the Northeast the other day. What better way to warm up than a steaming bowl of soup? I was craving ramen the other day, and so I decided to try my hand at making a…

Adventures in Breadbaking
For the holidays, I have been given the best gift ever, and have a full week off from work. That’s right. Monday to Sunday. After years of going and going in this industry, a little time to rest is an amazing thing. Since I get bored easily, though, I decided to cook up a storm,…
Ending One Chapter, Starting Another
Recently (finally), I graduated from culinary school. It’s amazing! My love of cooking has definitely taken me down a path I could not have predicted. Of course the obvious (and often asked) question is: “what’s next?” In short, to cook. As much as possible and as for as many people as possible. I’m not a…
Riesling Poached Pears
Now, I’m no baker, but I love dessert. It seems like a meal isn’t complete without a little something sweet at the end. Eventually I want to learn how to make a chocolate tart, soufflé, or something else that’s sweet and fancy, but that’s a question for my friends in the baking program at school….

Recipe: 7 Layer Magic Bars
I love when a new recipe just falls into my lap, especially one as delicious as this. My friend Sierra, who is a standard fixture in my home and life, made this for me the other day. It was incredible. I was fighting people for the last bite. This is a crazy simple dessert, but…
My Stage at Menton
I’ve been gone a week, I know. It’s been a crazy week guys. I’ve been looking to get another cooking job and was lucky enough to find out that Menton, one of Boston’s best restaurants, is looking for a line cook. The restaurant is fine-dining french, and the Chef de Cuisine is Kristen Kish, who…
My New Life as a Chef
A few weeks ago I started my new second job at The Regal Beagle, and I finally feel like I am getting into the groove of things, and I want to chat about it a bit. I work the Garde Manger station, which is cold appetizers, salads, and desserts. My days at work usually consist…
An Awesome Opportunity
This week has been super busy, so I have not been able to post as much, but I am super excited to say that this Sunday I will be part of a cooking class led by Jody Adams at her flagship restaurant, Rialto. I have written about how much I love their food before, and…
