The wealth of Peruvian cooking lies in the balance between strong spices, native ingredients, and citrus that temper the wide range of meat, seafood, and starch. Our Pisco Sour recipe is a user-friendly mix of the greatest hits from the traditional Peruvian kitchen. Here is how to make it. Pisco Sour Recipe This Peruvian national cocktail…

Apres Risotto

If your crew has not devoured all the risotto, you can save the leftovers for the Apres Risotto cake, which you will come to crave as much as risotto itself. If you think you will have the risotto in the next day, you can refrigerate your leftovers and make them into the shape of a flat cake, like a potato pancake, the next day right before you plan to cook them. Otherwise, you can form your risotto cakes between sheets…

Strawberries

Nothing screams summer more than a pint of fresh strawberries. At their peak in July, the vibrant fruit can be used in many dishes. For something savory, add strawberries to a peppery arugula salad, topped with sharp cheese and toasted walnuts for texture. Strawberries also pair well with pork dishes and even as a sauce over charred beef. For dessert, there’s always the quintessential strawberry shortcake and that Southern favorite – strawberry-rhubarb pie. (more…)

Turkish Delight

My kind of vacation, Istanbul is the combination of culture, history, beauty and one killer club and restaurant scene. I have vivid memories of walking amongst the crowds from the Grand Bazaar to the Spice Market, taking in all the colors and feeling like I was truly in a far away, exotic land. The Aya Sofia and Blue Mosque are still some of the most impressive sites I’ve ever seen, epitomizing the influence of Christians and Muslims on a city…

Il San Pietro Review

Il San Pietro Favorite part of the hotel It’s a toss-up between the private beach and the restaurant on the terrace. We found Il San Pietro to be a near-perfect blend of beauty, comfort and warmth.  Much like the fantastic estate your ancestors should have left you, it feels like home immediately – if home had an elevator drilled through a cliff that took you straight to your private beach. There are newer hotels, but I think few do it better.…

Plum and Raspberry Crostata Recipe

Theme: End of Summer One of the best parts of summer is spending an evening outside, barbecuing with friends, and sipping sparkling cocktails while you feast on the year’s best corn, berries, and tomatoes. Often, the produce looks so inviting at the farmer’s market that we tend to go a bit crazy and buy way too much, especially as summer comes to a close. (A panic sets in that soon cool air will arrive and our freckles will disappear.) This…
