Cookies for Santa

Fairway cookies for santa 2
Dear Food Diary:
I’m not quite sure if I’ve been naughty or nice this year, so I’m just gonna play it safe and leave some really yummy artisanal cookies for Santa, he won’t be able to resist and I don’t have to spend a fortune (these Fairway cookies were only $7.99 a pound). Win, win.

Dear Food Diary:
As a true chocoholic, I was more than delighted to receive the invite from Scharffen Berger Chocolate makers a couple weeks ago. An evening with Elizabeth Falkner (Top Chef) and Johnny Luzzini (Former Executive Pastry Chef at Jean Georges and Daniel), showcasing their take on a classic dessert with a hands-on workshop and of course, tasting (my favorite part).

Dear Food Diary:
I love my Nespresso Pixie gift, but I had to get a separate Nespresso Aeroccino (aka milk frother) on the side to make my favorite lattes and cappuccinos. So I was excited to be invited to check out their new Latissima+ at Bloomingdales. The Lattissima+ has the milk frother incorporated, sweet!

Dear Food Diary:
It’s a sweet day in the life of a food blogger when you’re asked to sample ice cream. The folks at Cowabunga, the online “designer” ice cream did just that. Sweeeeet indeed! Hand crafted, hand made and hand packed. Creative flavors all delivered to your door. I picked 2 that were out of the ordinary.
