Excellent post! As you know we went to BBC as well, but I didn't know about the growlers yet. That would be great! When we lived in Baltimore, we had a ton of local microbreweries and particularly loved Dogfish Head IPAs. Now, I can have my IPA and still live in Istanbul too. ;-)

Promising Developments in the Istanbul Food Scene
In the event that an Istanbul expat doesn't want to go out to eat Turkish food -- something that is extremely unlikely because everyone agrees strongly that Turkish food is one of the world's top cuisines and there's no reason to try something different -- options are shockingly limited for a ci...
Cute cat photos! Definitely eat as many colorful macarons as possible at Laduree and Pierre Herme in Paris. And funny enough, I lived in Lawrence, Kansas, for nearly 5 years before I got smart and moved to NYC. Cheers from Istanbul!

Luck Be A Lady
I was online today checking my email when a message popped up from an old friend of mine from my Wichita days, which, by this point, are about five years behind me. This is a friend who has stuck it out in newspapers in the years since I hightailed it out of that industry, gotten a master's degr...
So you basically get a caramelized, creamy, nut tart? What's not to like about that! =) Sometimes, the simpler desserts are the best.

I suppose I must really like a challenge because, on the night that I made the
Very innovative ideas! Here in Istanbul, the chef at Ciya makes candied (in sugar syrup) black olives, tomatoes, black walnuts and quince and serves it as part of a dessert plate. It's very good!

Olivotto - The Sweet Side of Olives
Olives, and especially olive oil, play a huge part in Italian cuisine. That's on the savory side. I have to admit that except for making cakes with olive oil, olives and pastries were a combination I had never thought of before. That was until my friends from Salento introduced me to Mass...
Iyi şanslar! Would love to have you visit Istanbul! Perhaps as a guest pastry chef instructor at MSA or the Istanbul Culinary Institute?

The Next Phase
Even before the big announcement last October detailing my intentions to leave Le Bernardin at the end of the year, I had already begun to consider a number of directions my post-restaurant career might take. For some time, I’d been entertaining the idea of a path toward education. I was ins...
Love this concept and the manifesto! I often wish I could order dessert first...how about a venture in Istanbul as well? =)

Killed By Dessert
Last night saw the realization of an experiment, a sort of underground, do-it-yourself dinner event, born out of a casual, bi-coastal conversation on the Twitter-sphere among a few friends and pastry chefs. Bill Corbett, Lincoln Carson, Christina Tosi, Francisco Migoya, Brooks Headley, an...
