These are my personal favorite pizza joints in Chicago (and some in the Chicagoland area). While the world believes Chicagoans only eat deep dish, we are traditionally a tavern style city! Interesting fact: tavern style or cracker crust originated in the 30's & 40's during the Great Depression was served in Chicago bars and taverns to entice patrons to drink more and stay longer! Personally I like all types of pizza, so come on in and check out my favorites!

These are the knives I actually use in my kitchen. As a professional chef, I'm picky about my blades.

Paired with a good honing steel and a magnetic block to keep them accessible and protected.

These are the best soup and stew recipes. I start making these in September as soon as I feel a chill in the air. I also love picking 3-4 of these recipes and hosting a soup party. A lot of these recipes call for chicken or other broth. I recommend buying Better Than Bouillon instead. It is more flavorful and less expensive than boxed stock. For me, soups and stews are all about the toppings and accompanying carbs. I always serve these with tortilla chips, crusty bread, flatbread, or a sandwich.

A compact coffee corner works best when brewing, weighing, pouring and cleanup have a defined place. These options suit people making one or two cups who want more control without installing a large espresso machine. Choose one brewing method first, then match the grinder, filters and serving pieces to it. This version is for a weekday cup where repeatability and fast cleanup matter more than displaying accessories. It starts with Choose One Brewer, Grind and Weigh, Heat and Pour, and Store and Clean, using concrete options such as Hario V60 Plastic Dripper 02, Timemore Chestnut C2 Grinder, and Hario V60 Buono Kettle to keep the choices practical. The goal is a list that can be browsed in order, with each section answering a different part of the setup.

Spent a week in Dublin last spring and wasted my first two dinners at overpriced spots near Temple Bar that served microwaved shepherd's pie with a straight face. After that I got serious — asked locals, wandered side streets, and found pubs and restaurants serving food that made me rethink everything I assumed about Irish cooking. If you're planning a Dublin trip and don't want to blow your budget on forgettable meals, this is the list I wish someone had handed me at the airport.
Every holiday season I used to panic-buy those sad little cocoa packets from the checkout aisle, slap a bow on them, and pretend it was a thoughtful gift. Nobody was fooled. Then I started layering jars with real cocoa mix, marshmallows, and toppings — tied with ribbon — and suddenly people were texting me photos of themselves making it. This is every single thing I use, from the jars to the finishing touches, so you can pull these together in one afternoon.
