Hey everyone- so sorry for my hiatus from The Crunchy Carrot! I have definitely missed posting my recipes and thoughts! A few updates/what I’ve been up to: My new culinary community and food ne...
Who hasn’t drooled over the Top Chef season 2 finalist, or at least his food? When you reach stardom, as Sam has been fortunate and gifted enough to achieve, I feel as though he probably made a list ...
Superbowl Sunday- the only Sunday on my calendar where dinner is a bigger deal than brunch. With the big event being 2 days and some change away, I’m sure everyone is finalizing their menus and...
Chickpeas aren’t knew to this blog– in fact you can find them here, here and here; actually their frequency on my plate may be the reason why I haven’t been in the mood for them. Bu...
French fries… it’s never a debate whether you love them or not, but rather which “fry persona” you particularly relate to the most. Are you a chill waffle fry lover? Perhaps a...
Thanks to my Aunt K, this past November I was wandering around what seemed like a big kids food version of the all-stars science fair, more commonly known as the NYTimes: Taste of T event. My primary...
Twenty Twelve will undoubtably be chatty- between the election, the summer olympics in london, the mayan predicted apocalypse, and, of course, lady gaga’s never-before-so-flawlessly executed fa...
The temperature is dropping and slowly we see the sleeping-bag jackets come out of the woodworks and grace the streets of New York City. This is the time of year when we gradually begin to swap the s...
the best things come in threes The winter breakfast blues have officially set in, the reliable yogurt and fiber one has been temporarily placed on the back-burner and oatmeal, adassi, and eggs have f...
A few weeks ago, I came across this sticker aptly placed dead center on a graffiti clad door in the heart of soho; this unassuming tatted-up door undoubtedly acts at the gatekeeper to some brilliant ...
Where to begin? I guess the best place to start is at the beginning. Thanksgiving week (yes, week) hit an all-time high this year. While we held true to our southern roots and traditions- deep fried ...
Before I announce the winners, I want to thank everyone who entered into the Blissful Bites: Cookbook Giveaway! It was exciting and surprisingly thrilling receiving so many vegetarian and vegan recip...
Yesterday, I slowly woke from the perfect airplane nap somewhere between Los Angeles and New York City at an hour in a time zone unbeknownst to me, and suddenly felt in the moment for the first time ...
Anyone who cooks can attest to the difficulty of finding a good, reliable cookbook. When you finally encounter one it’s hard not to cook your way through it. A great recipe in a cookbook is meticulou...
I know it may be the holiday known for candy and chocolate, but not in this house! These Mesclun Meanies are a delicious and easy festive recipe for the holiday. Happy Halloween! ...
I have something to admit… I haven’t made anything mind blowing or life changing to share with all of you so I am shamefully resorting to something I would now like to officially instill ...
Most of the time when you’re at a restaurant and your eyes skim over the words “reduction, glaze, emulsion or jus”, it peaks your interest. Usually this dominos into either an inflection change in yo...
photographs from Food52 Bagna Càuda is a traditional Piedmontese (read: region of northern Italy) dip, usually served warm alongside raw, boiled or roasted vegetables. It’s their version of a vegetab...
Ba-na-na-naaaas. As part of the “I forgot your birthday” cooking guilt trip, I had to make something comforting. I didn’t have to think too hard on what I should make because Rachel...
After making the pumpkin soup the other day, I decided I wanted to use the pepitas in a granola that I used to make with Sarah Simmons around this time last year. I momentarily began to reflect on th...
Once exercise fiend and self proclaimed workout-aholic, Bravo’s it girl (and my personal favorite NYC housewife/super mom/skinnygirl… or whatever you want to call her), Bethenny Frankel has officiall...
… apple pie! Listen, I know it seems as though I’m only using the 17 lbs of apples exclusively for indulgent desserts but that’s actually not the case. I’ve been baking them, ...
Who doesn’t love Jew food- bagels, lox, cream cheese, egg salad and the much beloved noodle puddings. If you know me, you know my all-time favorite meal is brunch/breakfast- there really isn’t anythi...
You know the phrase- “when life hands you lemons, make lemonade”? Well when you have pumpkins, squash and apples- make soup. Ok, the phrase may not be nearly as catchy but it works. This soup was gre...
I kind of fell off the blogosphere for a minute there but the good news is it was all in the name of food. If it’s kosher to do so, I’m going to blame it on the holiday. I thought I would eat more th...
One of the great things about the Jewish New Year (actually any Jewish holiday for that matter) is that the fruits and vegetables associated with that specific holiday usually correlate to the season...
Are all fruits created equal? It is safe to say that reaching for any member of the fruit family is better for your health than reaching for that bag of potato chips, a slice of double-dark chocolate...
After Labor Day, New York wasted no time switching from summer to fall. While the leaves may not be changing just yet, the temperature has started to drop and our favorite fall attire has come out of...
