A few of you may have read about the ceiling-to-floor spice rack my husband and his Uncle Dan built for me, whilst I was doing my victory lap in New York a couple of weeks ago. See, I have tons and tons of spices, all crammed into one shelf of my tiny cabinet. They are [...]
The 10pm chocolate craving has struck. Too late to go out and get some — I’m comfy on my couch, and unwilling to move after a glass of wine. Too early to go to bed and pretend it’s not happening. Aghghghghghggh! In other news, I found this photo of Bren and I when he came [...]
Wow. What a whirlwind. I watched the finale with a few friends and family on Sunday night at a great bar called The Village Idiot here in LA. The next morning, I was up at 7am to start doing interviews over the phone, which I did until noon, then I packed a bag and Bren [...]

If you’re opposed to food colouring, then don’t feel obliged — it’ll still taste good. But if you’re going for authentic, [...]
I can’t believe this is all going to be over in 2 weeks. This Sunday: Iron FRICKIN’ Chef! Check it: -x- aarti
I actually got to meet some of you face to face this past weekend. And it was more joyful than I thought possible. See, there’s something so abstract about this experience. I shot this show months ago, but had to keep quiet about it until it started airing. It’s broadcasting to all of “America”, which [...]
