One of the things I really miss about my life pre-restaurant ownership (in addition to loved ones, fretless sleep and true downtime) is cooking. Remember the days when I would have recipes and pictures posted here of yummy food made in my very own kitchen?

Peace, love and cupcakes – Woodstock, N.Y.
Yesterday I headed down to Woodstock to meet the girls for a little shopping and some catch up time.

I don’t regret the hours I spent on the … Continue reading Man Crush Monday – Massimo Bottura
