SALUMERIA ROSI: Tuscan Toast takes over French Toast
Dear Food Diary:
French toast and brunch seem to go hand in hand. Before Salumeria Rosi, I always had that Vanilla Brioche French Toast as my favorite sweet treat for brunch. But the moment I tasted Salumeria Rosi’s Tuscan Toast I was immediately weaned off french toast forever.
The rest of the menu here is pretty sweet too. Tuscan dishes served tapas style. An impressive array of cured meats and fresh bread.
There’s a reason why I chose to take their food to Diner en Blanc 2012 (one of the most magical nights I had in NYC), their flavors never disappoint, whether in store or take out.
[RECIPE] Roasted artichoke with lemon garlic aioli for Whole Foods
Dear Food Diary:
Last weekend, I partnered up with Whole Foods to make a home video of my favorite Roasted artichoke with lemon garlic aioli recipe. Super simple and satisfying.
The challenge was to use one of their Madness Sale items and follow me from the Columbus Circle store to my kitchen. I chose the Chilean Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
North End Grill: Ramps by Top Chef Master
Dear Food Diary:
Ramps aka wild leeks are still in season and I can’t get enough of them!
Last week, we couldn’t make it to Ramp Fest 2013, so we got a table at the North End Grill instead. Top Chef Master winner Floyd Cardoz has them on the menu 3 ways and we got them all. Grilled, on a pizza and as a gravy!
The chef tweeted me that it’ll be on the menu at least till end of this week, so hurry! If you love mom, take her to eat ramps!
