Delicious Day-glo colored Sweets from Royal Sweets
While all the sweets were lovely, we particularly enjoyed the figgy pinwheels. Sadly, we don’t know the name of these treats. Royal Sweets doesn’t label all of their treats. We did find the laddu (toasted wheat and butter balls) a bit […]

Down the rabbit-hole
Shortrib & Lamb Pizza
This pizza is full of flavor. Tender, braised shortrib is one of my all-time favorite things. It has a luxurious buttery quality that underlines all the positive attributes of beef. The tender shreds on this pizza illustrate that point beautifully. Coupled with red pepper, crumbled goat […]
S’more Tart
The giant torched coconut marshmallow is the highlight of this tart for me. I’d love it even more if it was torched to order. Rich chocolate is tasty, but, the excessively buttery (greasy) tart crust is too much. This tart is crazy rich. It needs a significantly more […]
Stocking the Pantry:
Toscano & Sons has a wide assortment of goods. Parmigiano Reggiano butter, a great selection of Italian deli meats & cheeses, coffees, Italian vegetable seeds for planting, chilled Italian sodas for sale individually, chinotto & san bitter by the pack, and too many pantry items […]
Fried Chicken with bacon bleu risotto
Wow, this is the sort of meal that should require a disclaimer: Don’t make plans for today… you’ll need a nap… soon. The bacon bleu risotto was incredibly rich, buttery, creamy, and smooth. A generous dotting of bacon added smoke appeal and depth of […]
Manhattan Special & the Italian Moka Drink
East 48th Street Market has a bounty of specialty Italian products. Italian cheeses, Italian wines & a small by-the-glass dispenser for a handful of bottles, deli meats & sausage, Sclafani Tomatoes (the best tomatoes canned in America), a variety of dried pasta including […]
Pleasantly crisp, this cannoli is lightly dusted with cinnamon and the interior is brushed with a layer of chocolate. The chocolate coating provides a barrier between cream and shell. The cream is rich, dense and very lightly sweetened. Simply put, this is a traditional Italian-American cannoli. Personally, I love this […]
Silly Cow Farms Natural Hot Chocolate Mix
I’m a sucker for clever packaging.
Three simple ingredients fill this glass milk jug: Cocoa, sugar and vanilla powder.
All you need to do is add heated milk.
