I never thought I could have too many tomatoes in my house. And I mean the summer time- grown at a local farmer’s market -or in your back yard -kind of tomato. But that is the state I find myself in right now. We are on vacation at my parent’s old farmhouse in northeastern Massachusetts and for some reason every last tomato that was planted on Memorial day weekend (when the whole backyard vegetable garden is always planted)… more »

Too Many TomatoesAugust 21st, 2010 | Filed under Blog « On the Road
The Orange County FairAugust 2nd, 2010 | Filed under Blog « On the Road
Two weekends ago I went to my first ever county fair. I really did not know that this kind of old fashioned America still existed (I’m too much of a city kid!) and I have to say I was delighted. There was a big ferris wheel towering over the whole scene and many other much scarier big rides, as well as arts and crafts booths, tons of fried everything and real live animals!
After I settled into the Mission Tortilla… Check out my kitchen on thekitchn.comJuly 24th, 2010 | Filed under Announcements « Featured Home
My home kitchen is featured on the kitchen tour page of thekitchn.com blog. About 2 1/2 years ago, I completely renovated the outdated kitchen that was in my apartment 14 years ago when we moved in. Without changing the kitchen’s footprint, we replaced everything for a clean, today, look. Here’s the link; please take a look!
Two and a half years ago, despite her stellar cooking résumé, Sara’s New York City kitchen was “rather down in the heel,” so she… Taste of DallasJuly 17th, 2010 | Filed under On the Road
I did two food demos at the Taste of Dallas a couple of weeks ago and found the crowd quite lively despite the humid hot weather. It appeared that everyone in the crowd came from Texas and at least half from Dallas itself (unlike my audience in Atlanta where not one person came from Atlanta). It also became clear that these Texans sure do like to eat (interesting – there was not one vegetarian in my audiences.) As someone in… My New Super BlenderJuly 8th, 2010 | Filed under Kitchen Tools
My Vitamix Blender:
For years I have wondered about the vitamix blender and whether it was really as fantastic as advertised. It appeared from the all the hype that the machine was so tough, so virile, you could throw a moose in there with a few ice cubes and make a moose shake, no muss no fuss. I marveled about how all these high profile chefs, such as Jean Louis Palladin and Gale Gand seemed to literally embrace the machine… Watch Sara on Good Morning America!June 29th, 2010 | Filed under Blog « Useful Info
I was on Good Morning America on June 30, 2010, reporting on the Fancy Food Show. Hope you caught it. If not, here is a link to the video on the GMA web site, take a look to find out all the latest products.
This year’s 56th Summer Fancy Food Show will run from June 27-29, 2010.
About the Fancy Food Show
Produced by the NASFT since 1955, the Fancy Food Shows are North America’s largest specialty food and beverage… I will be leading a trip to Perigord FranceJune 21st, 2010 | Filed under Announcements « Blog
Now that I am finally done with book tour, (phew! it was great but exhausting and I will be reporting on it soon, complete with photos) I am looking forward to future trips.
From September 29 to October 6 of 2011 I will be teaching classes, exploring local markets, tasting wine at a chateau, visiting an artisan goat farm and much more — with eight students. Of course there will be many excellent meals both at the house and at… A Magic PlaceJune 8th, 2010 | Filed under On the Road
Every year for the past five years or so I have gone to the Lake Austin Spa Resort, right outside of Austin Texas, to conduct a cooking demo. In exchange, they give me room and board and treat me well. At first I just did it for a lark. I thought, what the heck, take the husband and relax. I did take the husband the first time and we had fun but he was a tad lost because the place… Mom and Pop Cookware StoresMay 24th, 2010 | Filed under Useful Info
My book tour has taken me all around the country, to smaller independent cookware stores in smaller cities that I normally don’t get to, like Des Moines, Madison, Savannah, and Anchorage. Everywhere I go I am working for my book sales. I have learned from past experience that unless you do a cooking demo and give out samples, people are not inclined to buy your book, particularly in this day and age of downloading recipes from the internet. It is… Meringue IssuesMay 13th, 2010 | Filed under Useful Info
Normally I would have posted this in the kitchen shrink part of my website but I thought the topic of weepy meringues was such a burning issue that I should feature it as a blog entry. The answer comes from one of my good buddies and an important mentor, Jean Anderson, author of a million cookbooks (no kidding it must be in the 30’s), most recently A Love Affair with Southern Cooking, Harper Collins 2007. When I hosted “Cooking Live,”…
