q&a with tom heinen

August 19, 2010 – 10:50 pm

I’ve been a loyal Heinen’s shopper for the past 10 years. Now, it’s not the only place I shop at. I’m also a regular at Miles Farmer’s Market (pancetta and Jeni’s practically each week), Whole Foods, area farmers’ markets, Fresh Fork CSA and The West Side Market, though not as often as I’d like. But [...]

cook like david uecke (croque monsieur)

August 13, 2010 – 9:13 pm

I’ve made no secret of my love for L’Albatros. Why would I? This restaurant is simply fantastic. I always leave happy and genuinely enjoy the food (especially the cheese!) and atmosphere (my favorite patio in town). I first tried this sandwich when we went for lunch one day and had Natalie with us. Little Miss [...]

where our seafood comes from. q&a with marty gaul at heinen’s

August 10, 2010 – 8:29 pm

“Am I talking too fast?” asked Martha Gaul, the person behind all seafood at Heinen’s. “I’m just so excited; I want to tell you everything!” To say Gaul has passion for her job would be an understatement. It’s genuine and quite refreshing. I spent some time with her last week in an attempt to get [...]

cook like eric williams (braised beef brisket)

July 28, 2010 – 10:50 pm

food and wine pairings, guacamole recipeThe chef pairings might just be my husband’s favorite series on the blog to date. We (I) try to make most of the dishes at home, and he knows this. And when I told Jamie what Eric Williams, chef/owner of Momochoprovided, he quickly followed up with a request for immediate trial. [...]

cook like rocco (lamb burgers)

July 17, 2010 – 11:33 am

Regular readers know I’m a huge fan of chef Rocco Whalen of Fahrenheit. With that personality of his and infectious passion for our city, how can you not be? And now I have two more reasons: his recipe for lamb burgers and some fun random bits of quirkiness he shares with us at the end of this [...]

cook like ellis cooley

June 19, 2010 – 12:47 pm

If you have been to AMP150, then you know this chef. He’s been making quite an impression since coming to Cleveland – and that’s not easy given that he’s running a restaurant inside the airport Marriott. I’ve only been once (so far) and was truly impressed (and admittedly wrong to prejudge). I’m also impressed with [...]

May 19, 2010 – 9:18 am

I simply adore Rocco Whalen. And it’s not because he’s a talented chef or that Fahrenheit is one of our favorites (had another fabulous dinner a few weeks ago with some lovely ladies, try the seared sea scallops and sinfully good Kobe beef sliders, which Rocco let us sample), but because his passion for his [...]

your guide to grilling; plus top picks for summer drinking)

May 16, 2010 – 5:14 pm

As previously disclosed, I do not like to grill. I’m in charge of indoor cooking; Jamie gets to play outdoor chef. But I love anything cooked on the grill. Two dishes I religiously make in the summer (well, since I first read about them last year at least!) are grilled smoky glazed asparaguse  (watch the salt) and [...]

quick review: heinen’s pork kabobs

May 11, 2010 – 11:35 am

I do not like to grill. At all. On some level, the grill actually makes me nervous – which is kind of weird because I thoroughly enjoy cooking (and I know there’s nothing to fear, on any level). So Jamie is in charge of outdoor cooking and I happily handle all indoor responsibilities. Though I [...]

May 6, 2010 – 7:42 pm

Even though warm weather is upon us, we live in Cleveland and know better – there are still plenty of below average days left (like this weekend) until summer. And on those days, why not try this soup from chef Michael Herschman, who can now be found at the wonderful Menu6. This recipe makes a lot of [...]
