A little over a year ago we were fortunate enough to feature a Gin & Ginger drink as concocted by photographer Andrew Purcell and his lovely food stylist wife, Carrie Purcell (check out their in the kitchen with contribution as well). Months after their first post (and dozens of empty Gin & Ginger glasses later)…
When I was just a little guy (we’re talking four or five years old), my younger sister and I spent many an afternoon stowed away in the pantry as we mixed, blended and concocted all sorts of interesting (read: inedible) food creations. For unknown reasons at the time, our mother tolerated these shenanigans even though…
“Chardonnay cake over a buttery, fresh ginger graham-cracker crust, filled with lime curd and topped with lime frosting and sugared lime zest” is the new standard against which I measure all cupcakes. I am not even sure why I bothered to eat cupcakes before now. This tantalizingly tasty treat is one of the most popular…
My parents live in the country in a house surrounded by farms and farmland. During the winter, Alissa and I try to time our visits to coincide with snowstorms so that we can sit in the big picture windows drinking hot chocolate and watch as the snow slowly coats the vast expanse of nothingness. Until…
Our trip down south this month was a whirlwind of fun events, from our Lavish panels to lunch meetings with visiting friends and a fun team dinner with eight D*S editors at Hugh Acheson’s delicious new restaurant, Empire State South. After Lavish was over (literally right after), Amy and I ran to the airport, hopped…
We are in the thick of the holiday season and it is definitely time for a drink! Our tree is trimmed (*sort of*), we have been streaming the Christmas station from Pandora for days and have found ourselves enjoying several cups of Wassail Punch as we try to stay warm at night. Yesterday we took…
Whenever we task a talented photographer with putting together a drink for our Behind the Bar column, we always wait with great anticipation for whatever photographic genius he or she concocts. This month was no exception and California-based photographer Nancy Neil managed to raise the bar as she pulled this entire shoot off with nothing…
This past August, while browsing the show in New York, Alissa and I had the great opportunity to spend some time with the talented and effervescent Tina Frey. Tina is the genius designer/superwoman behind the San Francisco based Tina Frey Designs. Originally started as a creative outlet, Tina has grown her resin-based line to include…
I am so excited to unveil this month’s Behind the Bar column! Ever since my sister, Jillian, first introduced it to me, I have long admired the Portland, Maine store “chelliswilson.“ When I was finally able to visit the shop last November I was absolutely blown away, not only by the stop-in-your-tracks gorgeous shop but also…
This week we are featuring the Sardinian inspired creation of the super talented wedding photographer, Dia Rao, and her equally talented (new) fiancé Patrick Haynes. First, we want to congratulate Dia & Patrick on getting engaged less than a week ago!!! Dia is a California based destination wedding photographer whose work is inspirational, exciting and…
Lara Ferroni has been with us before, with her Toasted Sesame and Vanilla ice cream, a hit (and her Sneak Peek). This week we’ve invited her back for a another spoon dessert incorporating an ingredient from her garden: Melon, Ginger and Shiso Sorbet with Ginger Shiso Mojitos and Sours. The great thing about her submission…
