This upcoming weekend I’ll be signing copies my books, The Perfect Scoop and The Great Book of Chocolate here in Paris! I’ll be at the Richard Lenoir market in the Bastille at the booth of Régis Dion, who carries the most fabulous fleur de sel you’ll ever taste, hand-harvested by his family in the Guérande, which will be available to sample. UPDATE: He is no…
I think I need to move to New York City for a whole year to eat at all the places that were on my list to try. Although, honestly…I could certainly just go to Zabar’s everyday and die a happy man. And for all the scoffing that Whole Foods gets, I’d be thrilled to have a store with the range of fine products that they…

Getting ready for my close-up with a complimentary ‘threading’ at Sak’s. Man, that hurt! I was terrified I was going to end up looking like Lance Bass….I hope you all appreciate the things I do for you guys… Martha Stewart Everyday Food Today I’ll be a guest on Everyday Food on Martha Stewart’s Sirius cable radio channel, live from New York. The segment is scheduled…
