The last week of August was Dumpling Week on WBUR. Miss Niss listened to a dumpling story from a different country each morning on her way to work that week. From Italian tortellini to Chinese fried dumplings, there’s a lot of ways to look at dumplings. That same week, I saw a chef prepare pizza […]

Bridal Shower at Artisanal Cheese Center
You may have noticed that TFAW are very wedding busy lately — one of us is getting married and the other is a guest at six weddings this year. Yup. Crazy.

Tart Flambee, the new version
It’s always a good idea to have an extra ball of pizza dough in the freezer for when the mood strikes you. TFAW love to make our own inventive pizzas. I am a big fan of the Tart Flambee at Cinema Cafe in NYC — prepared in the traditional way with crème fraîche, leeks and […]
