At the Artisan Cheese Festival, I was browsing the cheese display with my mom when she did something totally out of the ordinary. She's not an adventurous eater, but to my surprise she took a gigantic chunk of vegetarian pâté! I love regular pâté, but was a little wary of the bright orange, green, and white thing that rested on my mom's plate. I wish I could say it was absolutely delicious but it just wasn't. The texture ...

While putting together the appetizers at a recent potluck, I ended up needing several cookie sheets. Some were mine, while others were borrowed. When I finished baking the prosciutto pinwheels, I had a really hard time figuring out which were my three cookie sheets. Next time I attend a potluck â€" or bring any sort of cooking dish to a party â€" I'll label my cookie sheets and baking pans.

I haven't taken my ice cream maker out of winter hibernation. However, when I saw this recipe for homemade ginger ice cream, I knew it was time to dust it off, clean it out, and get churning. â€" The Kitchen Sink

I love the idea of recycling old wine bottles to create something new and useful. While dining at Bar Bambino â€" where I was inspired by their leather napkin rings â€" I couldn't help but notice the industrial yet chic chandelier. Empty wine bottles have been filled with tiny lights before being geometrically attached to a large wooden plank and drilled in to the ceiling. It definitely added an artistic feel to the restaurant and dining ...

Last weekend I attended a very large Easter dinner complete with extended family and an excessive amount of food. There were over 70 people so it was a potluck. While the event had a commercial-style kitchen â€" complete with two ovens â€" it got crowded in the kitchen fast. While it may seem unnecessary to mention this, be careful when deciding what dish to volunteer. Here are some things to remember:

The pork looks incredibly juicy and the recipe is practically effortless. All you need is time, but good things come to those who wait. To ...
