This is what inevitably happens when I spend any amount of time in a place… I start to crave the flavors and aromas of the country long after I’ve arrived home. Earlier this month I got to spend some time in the Middle East with access to some of my favorite ingredients including tart, floral [...]

Maybe I’m just weird, but I find looking through beautiful photos of food both relaxing and inspirational. I used to flip through magazines, which was replaced by RSS feeds, and now I love scrolling through pages of tantalizing food on websites that aggregate food photos.

My first encounter with the Sloppy Joe was at my elementary school lunch counter where giant cans of sloppy joe mix were dumped into beat-up chafing dishes before being unceremoniously ladled into a crumpled hamburger bun. It may not sound like much of a lunch, but with other options like leathery turkey smothered in mucus-like [...]
