Borough Market, London

Borough Market, London

I recently returned from a short trip to London. I lived there on a study abroad in college, many, many moons ago, and have felt a close connection to that city ever since. I like to go back when I can and have a running list of places to visit, surprisingly (or not...

Summer in New England Means Woodman’s and Richardson’s

Summer in New England Means Woodman’s and Richardson’s

After long winters of snow and cold followed by a barely-there spring, summer is a welcome sight. In New England that means bring on the sun, the warmth, and the summer clam shacks and dairy barns. Several years ago a friend introduced me to Woodman's in Essex. It's...

DC Weekend Getaway

DC Weekend Getaway

The time to not visit Boston is on or around September 1st. It's when all the yearly apartment leases turn over and when the more than 250,000 students flood back into the city for a new school year. Around that time, if I can possibly arrange it, I'm far,...

Ottolenghi Love

Ottolenghi Love

Last Christmas a friend gave me Yotam Ottolenghi's cookbook, Plenty. I'd never heard of the chef or his restaurants but I couldn't wait to try the recipes, especially the one on the cover - Eggplant with buttermilk sauce. In researching for our UK trip I looked...

London – I’m Here for the Food

London – I’m Here for the Food

There are many reasons why I travel. First and foremost to be with friends and family that I love. Secondly to see or do new things, have adventures. But after that I'm there for the food - high brow, street food, local fast food, I want it all. Earlier this year I...
