Cooking Channel is a winner (01/02/11)
In June 2009, I wrote a column for the T-G complaining about how Food Network had de-emphasized cooking shows, especially smart cooking shows, in favor of competition shows and personality-driven shows featuring Guy Fieri shouting catch phrases. I knew that Food Network, which was getting good ratings, was unlikely to change its approach. ...

Taste of the Fair (07/13/10)
Does anything go better together than ice cream and the county fair? As much a tradition as livestock classes, clogging, the Tilt-a-Whirl and canned peaches, ice cream deserves its own spotlight at the fair. This year, it will not only be getting a spotlight, it may be getting some national television coverage. ...

Movie critics will NOT tell me what I want to watch (02/17/10)
I've decided I'm not going to read or watch movie reviews anymore. Twice this weekend watched movies that had been panned by the so-called experts -- and I loved both of them. One was "Julie and Julia," which I only watched because I loved Julia Child, even though I can't stand Meryl Steep...

Sweet taste of success follows cooking show (10/25/09)
If burning, red eyes with dark circles under them are indicators of success, I'm OK with that -- today. That's how most of my friends at the Times-Gazette, including myself, look and feel this morning, which happens to be the day after our sold-out relish® Cooking School and Expo...

A night of fun and recipes as chef wows cooking show crowd (10/21/09)
It's hard to tell who was having more fun Tuesday night at the sold-out Times-Gazette/relish® magazine Cooking Show and Expo with chef Jon Ashton -- the crowd, or Ashton.

Calsonic Arena crew members are quick change artists (10/16/09)
When Calsonic Arena opened in 1989, 20 years ago, officials from the Celebration and from the arena's benefactor and naming sponsor, Calsonic Manufacturing Corp. (now CalsonicKansei North America), said they hoped it would be not only a place for equestrian competition but also for a wide variety of events to benefit the community...

Good Samaritan needs more than just food (10/15/09)
In these hard times, Good Samaritan has had its hands full trying to help out those in the community who need it the most. While they always accept donations of food, there are needs in other areas as well. Food drives that have already taken place have kept the shelves stocked at the non-profit organization, thanks to recent mentions in the Times-Gazette, as well as a lot of cash on hand to buy more foodstuffs when needed, according to director Cathy Miller....

Penne a la vodka is simple yet sophisticated (08/30/09)
I think I have become inspired by the new movie "Julie and Julia," even though as of now I have only seen the previews. Once overwhelmed by my growing pile of recipes I've collected over the years, I now feel driven to organize my recipes and put them to good use. ...
