Say “I Love You” With Food
February 8, 2008
There’s just something about that heart-shaped spaghetti that I absolutely adore. I saw these photos on Black*Eiffel, and fell in love. If you’re looking for more cute and clever ways to Valentine-up your dinner, check out the book Valentine Treats.

Valentines Day Plans?
February 6, 2008
V-day in NYC is rough—you need to call weeks ahead to make reservations anywhere good, and most places have a prix-fix that is too pricey for my budget. So this year J and I decided that we’re going to cook at home and splurge on special ingredients—probably 2 lobsters (if we can scrounge up one of those giant pots to boil in), maybe some oysters, and the bottle of wine that I brought home from one of my favorite wineries that I visited in Mendoza, Argentina.
So, what are your romantic plans? If you haven’t scheduled anything yet, check out Grub Street’s Guide to Valentines Day—they’ve got a rundown of restaurants owned by couples, with recipes for their romantic dishes; picks for the best chocolatiers, wine stores, and dessert spots; and even a few things not directly related to food.
