Guest posting is a natural phase of food blogging because that’s what the community is all about … sharing.
It’s an honor to be asked to imprint your work on someone’s blog because it’s their way of saying “I like what you do and I’d like to introduce my readers to you.” By accepting the offer, it’s your way of saying “ditto, right back at ya“.
Do you remember this fabulous event from last year? (Post) I gushed all through it because I had such a great time. In fact, I was immediately in countdown mode till the next one!
Here’s Savor the Avenue 2012. Me and about 999 other people feasting and drinking at one 1200+ foot table in the middle of the avenue. Total merriment … as far as the eye can see! Continue Reading
I grew up in a very Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn and I’ve eaten ‘Italian food’ my entire life, but it wasn’t until recently that I learned something really valuable. I learned that a little finish with fat is a good thing. A really good thing!
That’s not something my mom (or anyone’s mom) did back in the day. But, as time passed and the world became food-obsessed, I developed my palate and my own style of cooking through my love of all things culinary. And I diverged from the cooking style of that era and from what was considered traditional. Continue Reading
I can’t think of a better way to pass the time on a lazy, breezy, 80+ degree Saturday afternoon than to enjoy a leisurely 7-course tasting lunch with 3 passionate food bloggers in an exciting area of Miami. Come, let me introduce you to all. Continue Reading
I’ve been missing the challenge. Oh, sure, I challenge myself with most every meal I prepare, but it’s not the same as being given a category and told to run with it. That’s stoking the fire, revving the engine, jumping off a cliff. That’s exhilarating! Especially when it works. 
I have more than 10 pages of food challenges on this blog. Most notably, Our Family Food Fights and 3-years running of A Culinary Tour Around the World. Then there were also a few Royal Food Jousts, Marx Foods contests and the 3 rounds I lasted in Project Food Blogger … loved the challenge, hated the vote-pandering!
I gave up. Continue Reading
This is a lovely union of ingredients. The escarole, fennel and celery serve as a textural and fresh base for the pear and blue cheese (in this case gorgonzola) which we all know are a natural pairing.

This is day 4 of Kitchen Corner’s 31 days of salad. Please visit Da’s blog for full post.
What I’ve gotten from Social Media is PRICELESS! I found great support and appreciation for my work; I’ve gained knowledge, inspiration and occasional LOLs; I’m never at a loss for restaurant recommendations in unknown areas; I get sales alerts and special offers; I get leads for all sorts of things of interest; and I found tech advice and the answer to any question is generally just a tweet away. I can’t tell you how many times I went on twitter with a panicky question about something technical and got a resolution in minutes! Then there’s ‘search lists’. That’s how I stay plugged into whatever is currently on my mind. These days it’s Tuscany.
And, best of all, I made friends. Lots of virtual ones in places all over the globe…and real, huggable ones to enjoy life with locally.
