Conquering Cassoulet
In recent years cassoulet has really taken off, and we couldn’t be happier. It’s downright common to see cassoulet on menus and in magazines these days….in all manner of variations. There’s even a recently-published book of essays called “The Cassoulet Saved Our Marriage.” We don’t promise cassoulet miracles, but we can help to dispel your fears…
Four Prunes Day
A message from Ariane Today is a strange food holiday: Four Prunes Day. I believe it refers to the idea that four prunes a day will keep the doctor away. But I am happy to take the opportunity on this official holiday to share my affection for this little wrinkly fruit with you. Sadly, prunes seem…

Armchair Traveler: Gascony
We love Michael Ruhlman’s writing, whether in a cookbook or on his blog. But this article in the July issue of Conde Nast Traveler about his culinary pilgrimage to Gascony is enough to make the stomach rumble. It’s possible that we are a little biased; Ariane is quoted in the article, and of course, she…
Duckathlon VIII, Reducks
Last Sunday we hosted the 8th annual Duckathlon in the Meatpacking District of NYC. In our infamous event, chefs compete in a culinary obstacle course that takes them through hot eateries, dark bars and the diverse shops at the Chelsea Market. The competition was stiff, and we had a fantastic turnout of teams, sponsors and…
All About Venison
For many, venison is associated with a hunter friend who dispenses irregular, butcher-paper-wrapped meat parcels of uneven quality and dubious taste. So it’s not a surprise that venison’s reputation has been less than stellar until recently. Over the last decade or so, venison has become more main stream. The best restaurants in the country include it on…
