How did you get started in food blogging?

I was working on a Ph.D. in linguistics in Canada when my now ex-husband and I moved to Orlando, Florida. I ended up not finishing my Ph.D. because it started to feel like a chore. One day, I was listening to The Splendid Table, and they had on a

Apricot Galette | Kitchen Confidante

September 16, 2022 AKDSEO

Apricot Galette – simpler than pie, but just as delicious! Galettes ooze a rustic elegance, and when apricots are in season, it makes for a perfect filling. Serve up slices with a scoop of ice cream for a lovely summer dessert.

Note: This post was originally published on July 2, 2013. The recipe has been updated from the archives with updated content and photographs, as well as improved kitchen notes and recipe annotation. I hope you enjoy this favorite from my kitchen.

I was at the stove this morning, having a not-so-awesome moment, silently annoyed with some gyoza I was browning for my children who were waiting at the kitchen table. It’s dumplings for Pete’s sake, I thought to myself. How am I messing this up?

“Ugh!!!!! This is a mess!” I complained out loud.

My son consoled, “It’s okay, it’s not like you’re on Top Chef.” “Yeah,” my daughter

Redefining Sorbet with SorBabes Founders Nicole Cardone and

September 15, 2022 AKDSEO

On the podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Nicole Cardone and Deborah Gorman, the cofounders of SorBabes. Since 2012, Nicole and Deborah have been on a mission to redefine sorbet as an indulgent, decadent treat and give it the respect it deserves. Their bold, unique flavors and creamy sorbet bars are out to revolutionize how we think of sorbet.

Listen to the full episode here, or keep reading for some of my favorite moments with Nicole and Deborah.

How Did SorBabes Get Started?

While growing up, Nicole lacked access to fresh fruits, so she became obsessed with going to farmer’s markets during college. She would wait until closing and buy up the leftover bags of beautiful, tree-ripened fruit, like peaches, that wouldn’t last another day. Then, she’d go home and make delicious fruit smoothies and sorbets with herself and the other students on her floor.

When she didn’t

Mango Float (Crema de Mangga)

September 14, 2022 AKDSEO

Mango Float, also known as Crema de Mangga or Mango Royale, is a Filipino icebox dessert made with layers of graham crackers or ladyfingers, sweet whipped cream, and ripe, juicy mangoes. All it takes is one spoonful of this simple recipe to be in utter mango bliss!

“Mom, can we make Mango Float?” My daughter had encountered reels upon reels of what is also known as Filipino Crema de Mangga or Mango Royale, and the temptation was unbearable.

I can’t blame her. Who can resist layers of cookies (graham crackers or ladyfingers — pick your poison) layered with whipped cream laced with drizzles of sinfully sweet condensed milk and slices of ripe, juicy mangoes? Assembling this simple dessert requires the utmost will to resist licking spoons, bowls, fingers — even cans! (If you’ve ever cooked with condensed milk, you know it’s worth the risk.)

But the truth is, I had

July 20, 2022

Get out the pitchforks and maybe some yelling.

California’s first Hell’s Kitchen restaurant is opening at Harrah’s Resort Southern California in August.

The new venue is accepting reservations for the upcoming opening of the new restaurant, created by multi-Michelin-starred chef and television personality, Gordon Ramsay.

The concept will officially open its doors for service on Friday, Aug. 12, at 4 p.m.

This Hell’s Kitchen will be the largest location to date and will accommodate up to 332 guests. The restaurant’s design and menu, emblazoned with the iconic red and blue flames, is a direct reflection of the Fox network’s culinary competition series of the same name.

An elegant bar, full-service restaurant, exhibition kitchen, plush lounge, curated wine wall, two private dining rooms (with the ability to be combined into one larger space) and two chef’s tables will be highlights of the dining experience.

Amy’s Kitchen set to close San Jose frozen food plant;

July 26, 2022 AKDSEO

SAN JOSE – Amy’s Kitchen announced that its large frozen food plant in San Jose is closing its doors later this year, a move that stunned employees who showed up for work on Monday.

The company cited ongoing supply chain issues and higher prices for ingredients as the reason for shutting down the plant, which makes frozen organic pizzas, on Las Plumas Avenue.

Apparently, that final decision was made very quickly, because employees said they were blindsided Monday by the bad news.

“Si, todos estamos, in shock,” said worker Alma Martinez came into work today and then was told to go home because she no longer has a job.

Martinez said she came to work on Sunday, and no one said anything about the shutdown. She’s one of about 300 workers who will lose their jobs, which pay about $17.50 an hour.
