Mar 8, 2016 | Contributor: Todd Jatras Scandinavian cuisine has undergone a complete transformation in less than a decade, with the dull and uninspiring fare of old replaced by what’s become the talk of the culinary world.

Feb 19, 2016 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich Eating at a Michelin-starred restaurant means food that not only tastes amazing, but looks it too. Plates are decorated with tiny vegetables in colors you didn’t know existed in nature, boasting award-winning flavors that surprise the palate. It should come as no surprise that chefs don’t source this type of produce from the same grocery store you buy lettuce from, instead they get it straight from Chef’s Garden in Huron, Ohio. ...

Feb 9, 2016 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich Luxury cinemas are no longer a rarity and some cities now have multiple companies to choose from.

The Lot in San Diego takes dinner a lot more seriously than an afterthought and as a result, their restaurant can easily stand on its own. ... Read More |

Jan 12, 2016 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich Sydney-based Katherine Sabbath creates the most amazing looking desserts and the impressive part is that she is entirely self-taught (she was a high school teacher before turning to baking full-time). Her brightly-colored creations have exploded over her Instagram and Facebook accounts, earning her an incredible fan base in a pretty short amount of time. Considering her tall cakes look like they came straight from Candy Land, it’s not a surprise. ... Read More |
Dec 16, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich I love to cook, but I rarely have the time. Okay, so I have the time, but let’s be honest, I’d rather binge watch the newest Netflix series than figure out what I want to make for dinner. Besides, trekking to the grocery store always ends with my getting home just in time to realize that I forgot one of the most important items. This is why I decided to try Plated, one of the most popular food delivery services out there that sends recipes and ingredients straight to your door. ... Read More |
Dec 10, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich Whenever I get a new gadget to try, I generally bypass the directions and jump right into the action, which may not turn out so hot if the device in question is complicated.

Come 2018, that will basically be a reality for New Yorkers, thanks to the upcoming Hudson Yards. ... Read More |

Nov 26, 2015 | Contributor: Mila Pantovich As the nutritionist for NBC’s The Biggest Loser, James Beard Award-winning chef Cheryl Forberg seems to know a thing or two about healthy eating, especially when it comes to our holiday favorites. Sure, you can go on a strict diet right after Thanksgiving as a punishment for that second (or fourth) slice of pie, or you can prepare a recipe that really isn’t that bad to begin with. ...

Nov 24, 2015 | Contributor: Janice Nieder This was a very good year for Chef Vincenzo Betulia, who scored a double whammy when he was honored with two 2015 Naples Illustrated Dining Awards: one for Best Restaurant and the other for Best New Chef. Born in Sicily, Betulia grew up in Wisconsin (which might account for his stellar house-made sausages) before settling in Naples, Florida where he opened Osteria Tulia in January 2013. He quickly followed the eatery up the next year by opening Bar Tulia right next door. ... Read More |
