Hi, Mowie. You have done so much in just two short years! Congratulations on your new magazine, too - I cannot wait to see it.I'd be happy to help out with the magazine somehow.
I've nominated you at Saveur for best food photography, as I do not know of anyone better than you. Good luck. You deserve this award.

Two Year Bloggerversary, Spring Colours & New Beginnings
New beginnings are where hopes are born and dreams run wild. There's nothing quite like a new beginning, is there? Leaving old baggage behind, starting afresh, with nothing but a clean canvas to paint your future on. It's been a long month of moving, of change, of worry, and of settling in. ...
Hi, OCGreg. I just happened to find your site, which I thoroughly have enjoyed exploring. You're too funny.
My one question is: why the strike-through of the chocolate-malted? I love this particular combination but never considered it as an OC iteration. Did it not work? I noticed you had the same treatment of Elvis, but I figure that moderation or just good taste kept you from trying a banana-bacon-poundcake OC.
Thanks,
Dan

Hi, Monica. I really enjoyed your post about DG. The reason I am a big fan of hers is that all of her recipes are clear, detailed, engagingly written, and versatile, with a number of options in most for creating different versions. Her baking recipes, in particular, are some of the best I've ever tried, too.
Thanks,
Dan

Once upon a story: A lady named Dorie....
This is not a book review. If you want to read a book review of "Around my French Table" by Dorie Greenspan, then use Google. There are a million reviews and the book just made the New York Times bestseller list and it is Amazon's number one cookbook of 2010. My verdict on the book: BUY IT. ...
Hi, Mowie. You've outdone yourself - these photos of cherries take the cake! I love the fact that you're doing your Oma proud, which is similar to what I'm doing with my recently discovered recipes from my grandmother, "What Would Jessie Dish?" series. I'd like to try this crumble this summer. Thanks, Dan

Dark Cherry Crumble Cake With Cinnamon
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and I'm still on a high from last week's Food Blogger Connect - I can't believe it's all over and a week has passed since then. The best part for me was meeting new people - I've definitely made some friends for life. Not surprising really as we didn...
Having grown up just west of Chicago, I realized that the classic Italian Beef (hot peppers and "juicy") is my favourite, only after I had moved away.

Hi, Mowie. Congrats on the latest award - you deserve all of them, as far as I'm concerned. I love the pink meringues, too. It's one I might try soon. Dan

Pink Meringue Butterfly Kisses, An Award & A Giveaway
I have been very busy over the past week and still have mountains of work ahead of me, but I just *had to* post something short and sweet. Very sweet. It seems like I've gone meringue crazy ever since I posted last week's financiers, and remembered just how much else there is to make with egg...
Hi, Adam. Thanks for the amusing post. I had a similar experience on - of all days - National Pie Day, which was also a friend's birthday. Thinking I had mastered a good pie crust recipe, I made a new blackberry filling, which resulted in a very liquid pie. Well, I enjoyed bloggin' about it afterwards:

I just found your site via FoodBuzz, and I've had some homemade shrimp stock in my freezer awaiting shrimp risotto. Now I will do it this weekend.
Of course, your recipe is authentic,as you do not mix cheese with seafood (how I can judge the credentials of Italian chefs!).
Keep up the fine blog!

Risotto con le Canocchie
Shrimp Risotto The flavour is in .... the stock Let me just say first that risotto needs to be stirred gently and continuously for about 15 /20 minutes and no, you cannot make a risotto without stirring. As you stir a risotto and water it with your prepared stock, the rice grains abso...
Hi, Mowie. As always, I enjoyed your recent post quite a bit. I also found your interview over at Learn Food Photography very informative. The portrait v. landscape tip for close-ups is a great one to try out....
Your photos here really capture the essence of spring. It's so much fun and inspirational to stop by your site.
Yours,

Baked Apple Pancakes
Going back home is always very inspiring. I spent Easter with my grandmother in Germany, in the little town I was born in. My Oma (the German word for grandmother) lives in an idyllic spot - looking out the kitchen window to the left side, all you see are open green fields that stretch out a...
Hi, Clay and Zach. I enjoyed your post and thought I'd mention that nearby Vancouver has a huge South Asian population, with some great interpretations of salmon. I recently tried one for halibut about which I blogged. It would work with salmon, too.

Olive Oil Poached Salmon with Indian Spices
Fine Cooking (April 2010) We eat at Indian restaurants fairly frequently. So far, though, we've never seen salmon on the menu. But the next time we're at our favorite Indian place, we just might have to suggest it to the waiter. We were drawn to this recipe precisely because it sounded so un...
Hi, Mowie. I always am up for trying another new macaron recipe (or "macs", as you're calling them over in Jolly Old England, it seems!).
I've not thought about Pierre et Gilles in ages. Too funny and faboo for words....
Thanks,
Dan

Fig Macarons With Lychee Champagne Buttercream Plus A Giveaway
It usually starts with an image, this idea in my head. It's a very clear image, and I couldn't possibly tell you where it comes from. Once I see it, it is emblazoned onto my brain, and it's alive and it flutters around in my head, like a butterfly, trying to release itself from the confines o...
