Culinography: Edam Cheese in Edam
On my recent trip to Holland, we visited the adorable little town of Edam, and I got to try some genuine Edam cheese. This salad was covered with aged Edam cheese, pecans and roasted cherry tomatoes. Photo by Erin Gleeson.

Culinography: Stroopwafels
I was recently in Holland for a week, and my good friend and travel buddy, Josh, became OBSESSED with stroopwafels, a Dutch delicacy. A stroopwafel is like a big wafer cookie sandwich that’s a bit chewy and filled with a sweet syrupy honey filling, and every bakery makes them differently. We hunted all over Holland […]

Culinography: Bacon-Covered Mazoh Balls
Recently, I was at someone’s house for brunch and bacon-covered mazoh balls were served (I believe inspired by this NPR show). How terribly traif! Well… almost. This meal was in a kosher home, so the bacon was not actually pork, but beef. Rebellious nonetheless? Certainly delightful! As a pork loving Jew, perhaps I should finally […]

Culinography: Ruth Reichl for Gilt Taste
This week, Gilt launched a new food website, Gilt Taste. I had the pleasure of attending the launch party in Chelsea and the even greater pleasure of finally getting to meet Ruth Reichl, whom I’ve admired for years. I have read all her books, was a huge Gourmet fan and I’m sure Gilt Taste has […]

Culinography: James Beard Awards 2011: Craig Deihl
In honor of the James Beard Awards being held tonight, I thought I’d post about Craig Deihl of Cypress Restaurant in Charleston, who is nominated for Best Chef (Southeast). I was certainly impressed by him when I had the great pleasure of attending and shooting his Angus Beef sponsored dinner at the JBF Pop-Up last […]

Culinography: Momofuku Cake In My Purse
I know this piece of cake doesn’t look so hot, but to be fair, it’s been through a lot. Last weekend I was at a house party in Williamsburg. It was still Passover, so I was having wine instead of beer, cheese with no crackers and trying not to look at the cookies. I’d been […]

Culinography: Pick Your Own Asparagus!
It’s asparagus season, people! Did anyone know this is what asparagus looks like when it’s growing? I took these shots today while visiting Terhune Orchards near Princeton, NJ. We ate this asparagus tonight for dinner and it was seriously delicious. Photography by Erin Gleeson.
