Hey there!  Here’s an update on the state of things here in PopArtichoke Land: Well, I’ve been busy, which you can usually assume if I’m not posting a lot. Also, just like last February, my hand pain decided to get a lot worse, so that never helps things on the blogging front.  Still, I have […]

  Culinary Artistry by Andrew Dorenburg and Karen Page is one of my favorite books to peruse, along with their infinitely inspiring Flavor Bible.  The former is all about the element of art in cooking, and as I read the chapter on creating menus I started getting lots of ideas.  There is a section full […]
