Culinary Conversation: Simple, fresh tastes of Italy
The definition of trattoria is the Italian equivalent of a bistro. Trattorie — that’s the proper plural — are meant to be simple places and are usually family run.

Culinary Conversation: Some dishes fresh from the web
My new “toy” is a combination Valentine’s/birthday gift. I just wish it wasn’t quite as tricky to figure out as the toys of my past — a Barbie doll, the Candyland game and my first Huffy bike.

Culinary Conversation: Side dishes can make your holiday meal special
Are you still making those last-minute decisions about holiday meals? At many tables, the star is usually the turkey. Or ham. Or maybe prime rib. Admittedly, while my once-a-year turkey eating is enjoyable, I also look forward to side dishes — both creating and partaking.

Culinary Conversation: Cookbooks are gifts that keep on giving
Some of my favorite Christmas gifts have been cookbooks. Friends and family know I’m always happy to add another book of recipes to the long shelf in my kitchen. When I look through them, I’m reminded of the thoughtful persons who selected something they knew I would enjoy.
