What does a tomato taste like?
That was the question asked to me by Andy Husbands, Fearless Chef of Tremont 647 and Sister Sorel as we sat together at Starbucks a few weeks ago. You see, I had scored an interview with Andy by contacting him through a mutual friend’s FaceBook page several weeks earlier. So here I sat, as this...

Final outcome of Bok Choy salad
I apologize if the picture is a little blurry… the lighting was poor and I was trying to use my iPhone. This is the outcome of the Bok Choy salad mentioned yesterday. It was absolutely delicious and worked beautifully with the grilled salmon (which I just seasoned with a little lemon pepper and...
Bok Choy Salad
