Homemade Baked Potato Chips

I’ve been making baked potato chips for years. But I never considered posting the recipe to CulinaryCory.com because I thought it might be a little too simple for your reading enjoyment. So I decided to ask my Facebook followers what they thought about the idea. Much to my surprise I almost immediately started receiving enthusiastic [...]

Baby Burgers on Foodo

I love a really good burger regardless of its size, choice of toppings or seasonings. When I lived in Chicago my go-to burger joint was T’s in Andersonville. I would occasionally pony up to the bar on Monday’s for a double pint of Blue Moon and a ridiculously delicious burger with a side of garlic [...]

Bacon & Blue Dip

One of the ways I make entertaining look effortless is to always serve an easy and simple appetizer. It helps to keep my guests focused and entertained while I put the finishing touches on the meal. Best of all, appetizers keep my guests out of the kitchen and away from view should a mistake bubble [...]

Tzatziki Dip with Fresh Vegetables

My Easter holiday was full of good food, sun and a whole lot of fun. Since the weather reached well into the 80’s here in Pittsburgh, I thought it would be a fabulous excuse for an outdoor barbeque. I guess you can say this was the first of many outdoor gatherings I intend to have [...]

Fresh Mozzarella Class

I thought I was the only person on the planet crazy enough to wake up at the crack of dawn on a weekend just to learn how to make fresh mozzarella. Of course that was until I walked into the classroom to see 10 other crazies waiting patiently for the class to start. My friend [...]

Easy Dipping Oil

Go to any fancy Italian restaurant and you are sure to be greeted with a basket of crusty bread and fruity olive oil. You don’t have to put on your Sunday best to experience the same pleasure of tearing chunks of bread and plunging them deep into a shallow bowl of goodness. I wasn’t planning [...]

Baked Goat Cheese Marinara

Isn’t it amazing how something so simple can look so good in a photo? I posted this to my Facebook Fan Page a couple of days ago because I was that excited to share it before the blog post went live. I figured why should I deny my fans from such tasty beauty? (insert gleeful [...]

Caramelized Onion Dip

I love potluck parties because it gives me a chance to sample new recipe ideas beyond reading a typical blog, magazine or cookbook. My office recently decided to host a potluck party to celebrate the ending of another strong year. Of course, this couldn’t be just any party; all the participants had to bring an [...]

Prosciutto Wrapped Stuffed Baby Bell Peppers

Have you ever hunted for the perfect ingredient to make all your dinner party dreams come true? Only to crash and burn like a forgotten soufflé when it is nowhere to be found? But alas, you are saved from total destruction when you discover a completely new ingredient that evokes new thoughts of culinary greatness. [...]

Ile de France Camembert Cheese

The kitchen was filled with a nutty aroma as a circle of soft cheese gently warmed in the oven. Thanks to Ile de France, I had the opportunity to receive a wheel of their camembert cheese to sample and share with friends. Similar to brie, this cheese is rich, creamy and nutty in flavor. It [...]
