IS THERE A CHEF IN YOUR LIFE?

LUCKY YOU IF YOU LIVE CLOSE!

Want to keep those delicious meals coming? Why not buy them something close to their heart next time?

Chefs are food lovers like no other. They live, breathe, and, well, eat the stuff! Truffled, braised, and sous vide! They can whip up gourmet pancakes faster than you can say, “carbon steel griddle!” and they’ll lovingly strip down herbs as delicately as a gardener.

Galentine's Day- Showing Love And Gratitude

Valentine’s Day is arguably one of my favorite holidays of the year, and if you agree, it probably has little to do with a significant other, and more to do with a love of love in general — for your partner and your besties-even your sweet kitties and pups!!! If you think of February 14th as a day to celebrate all of that, it’s pretty hard to resist its charms, which is precisely why I look forward to hosting a little Galentine’s Day luncheon with plenty of dessert for my Francophile bestie Brooke.
