The Winter Olympics will soon begin which means starting in two weeks you'll be getting up early with purpose!
The opening ceremony is February 7th! Want to drink something special? Our favorite mixologist, Nata Traub has created a great drink just for the occasion: Peggy's Gold Medal!
Because of the time difference, coverage most days begins at 3am est, so great late night snacks and brunch recipes become viewing staples.
You can invite your friends over for a pajama viewing party, and make a few dishes that reheat well such as frittatas, latkes, benedicts and cinnamon rolls.
Here are a few links for your viewing pleasure:
Official schedule, Games Chart, and the NBC viewing chart. |
I recently catered two Paleo dinner parties for clients here in NYC. I had a good time diving into the rules and variations of the Paleo philosophy. It is always fun to create new menus and learn new techniques for recipe adaptations.
If you are curious about what a Paleo style dinner party can taste like, check out these menus and recipe for such dishes as Apple Galette here and Grilled Rack of Lamb and Chocolate mousse here. |
Come hang out with me, 25 other chefs and a lot of meatball enthusiasts on Sunday February 9th from 2-5 at the Bell House in Brooklyn! Tickets are $15 and selling fast!

Brisket King |
on Wednesday February 12th I am making brisket for the first time in front of 600-800 of my newest friends! The annual Brisket King competition features chefs from near and far, great beer, wine, spirits, Tito's vodka drinks and maybe some trash talking as chefs compete for the Brisket King title!
This event is a great way to spend a Wintery Wednesday while you watch a woman (ahem!) take the title! |
