Edible Art

To pretty to eat? WD-50, a trendy New York restaurant is where Wylie Dufresne pushes his culinary creativity. Food, in the shape of things squiggly or cubed and standing up tall are his signature in this nouvelle cuisine spa for the senses. I have not eaten here, but was intrigued by a friend's Facebook posting of photos from food they'd ordered, while dining there. It got me interested in reading more.

Blue Cake and other Homemade Delectables

I am now officially counting down the days until the Carp Farmers' Market opens its gates once again, to the culinary (read: baking) challenged... those of us making the pilgrimage are hoping to fill our long-emptied pantries with delectable homemade goodies and home. That blessed day is now less than a month away. I've marked it off in my calender, with a 3-day reminder, just in case.

Among my many favorites, is an artful cake maker who aptly calls herself, "The Girl with the Most Cake". Her works are eye-catching, colourful and exotic creations, showcased in an old-fashioned glass case, set up on top of a table. There are usually crowds around her stall as people line up to see her unusual designs. They are quite fantastic, indeed, and of course, they are quite delicious.
