My Activity

Reviewed Slow-Cooker Ribollita

"Not on my hit parade of slow cooker recipes for soup. Although the dish represented itself well in the photo, the taste was absolutely disgusting. I had so looked forward to enjoying a hearty, soulful bowl of soup but was a little leery when I added the 4 oz of pancetta. The bacon overwhelmed the soup which also tasted greasy and unappealing. Loved the texture and might experiment with making this totally vegetarian with celery, onions, etc.The beans were cooked perfectly, so gave one star."

About Me

With a mom from France and a family passionate about cooking, I couldn't help but become a foodie. Do it, watch it, and read about it. But most of all, I enjoy sharing successes with family and friends. Cooking is a way of giving back to those who are special to me. I absolutely love it!

Avid golfer as well so summer is a little bit of hiatus during those months in CT. Second home in Florida affords me opportunity to do both - loving it.

I believe the most important elements to being a successful cook are using the best ingredients you can find and seeking new preparations and ideas.

Favorite dishes:  picked lobster meat with haricot verts, butter and tarragon; crepes filled with marscapone and fromage blanc, baked briefly and topped with a fresh raspberry coulis

Last food prepared (before I go play golf): granola for me and breakfast egg/veggie cups for rest of week for hubby. Brining pork chops for dinner and just made braised cabbage as side.

Best new restaurant tried:  El Paseo, Tyler Florence's new restaurant with Sam Hagar in Mill River, CA. Awesome - wonderful California fare with lots of soul. The best deviled eggs I've ever had - bacon, lettuce and tomato. Very cool.

Bon Appetit!
