Memories of BlogHer Food 2009
September 29, 2009 By 17 Comments
Before I go any further, I need to confess something. I was really bad last weekend. I schlepped my camera all the way across the continent to the BlogHer Food Conference.

Recipe Testing for The Gilded Fork Cookbook
March 20, 2009 By 5 Comments
In the last few weeks I’ve been busy testing recipes for The Gilded Fork Cookbook, the upcoming book from Chef Mark Tafoya and the folks at The Culinary Media Network.
