Turkish breakfast at Cora’s Coffee Shoppe in Santa Monica.

Monday, May 3rd, 2010

Funny how I have to move away to discover a great eatery.  Cora’s Coffee Shoppe in Santa Monica always looked great, especially because there was always a big line outside.  I ordered the Turkish breakfast not really knowing what a Turkish breakfast was, but wow.  It was delish!  And pretty too!

Seen in Vegas: Beijing Noodle No 9 at Caesars Palace

Friday, April 30th, 2010

My good friend and fellow photographer Alina (of La Dolce Vita Photography) could not have imagined why I was so insistent on going to Beijing Noodle No 9 at Caesars Palace, but it all became so very clear to her once we arrived.  From the goldfish to the cool architecture to the stylized eating accessories, this restaurant is a unique experience. 

We so did not want to leave our little cocoon of dim sum happiness!

Blended Mocha from Kings Road Cafe.

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

Another bit of perfection, the Blended Mocha from Kings Road Cafe in Los Angeles.  Their secret is they use Carnation flavor packets.  I know…that’s just cheating, and guess what?  I still crave and drink these every time I’m in L.A.  Plus, there are so many pretty people who hang out there.  Unemployed actors, models and well, just Angelenos too.  The whole town is good looking and after my initial crisis of self esteem, I got over it and just enjoyed the view.

And, yeah, you’re probably thinking that all I did in L.A. while shooting a cookbook was eat.  I confess, yes, I did.  I ate very well during the cookbook and after too.
