« Happy Fridays » is a new weekly column in which I share my latest news, favorite recipes, as well as anything and everything exciting.
What’s New
- “Edible Cities” start next Monday! This week I introduced this new weekly column by presenting my own Edible City {Rome!} and next Monday, the series kicks off officially with Greg Henry, from Sippity Sup, who will tell us about his love for Paris. Don’t miss it!
- Need travel and culinary inspiration? Check out What to Eat in Sicily, but try not to drool all over your keyboard.
Over on Just Recipes
Just Recipes is a no-frills recipe blog on which I share the food I make at home. All recipes are delicious and easy (I won’t make you spend hours in the kitchen, I swear!) Here are this week’s new recipes:
- Green Vegetables, Miso and Sweet Sesame Salad
- Roasted Potato and Leek Soup with Arugula and Crispy Shallots
Just Added to My “To-Make” List
- I love making (and eating!) dumplings and these two recipes are currently on my radar: Crispy Pork and Kimchi Pot Stickers & Chicken and Lemongrass Dumplings.
- Artichokes and bacon? Please, yes. Fondi di Carciofi (Bacon-Wrapped Artichokes).
- Making bouillabaisse at home sounds like a fun project. Especially with the help of such a detailed walkthrough.
Worth Talking About
- Being freelance is not always all unicorns and rainbows. Melanie paints a realistic, but not negative, picture of what our days are like, most of the time.
- I Was a Cookbook Ghostwriter: The fascinating story of a ghostwriter that tells us what it’s really like to write for the biggest chefs and celebrities. Spoiler: it’s not all unicorns and rainbows either.
- Five classic food writers you have to read: Just added these to my Wishlist. Many thanks to Dianne for sharing this article!
Have a great and delicious weekend!
