This week brings us the summer solstice. Despite our wacky temperature swings in NYC as of late, we can no longer deny that summer is here and it is ready to PARTY! To celebrate the occassion, I have a post up on KitchenAid’s new blog where I show you how to make a summer favorite: Gazpacho!

My gazpacho

Here’s a sneak peek: Today, we’re showing you how to get macho with gazpacho, a chilled tomato soup that’s Spanish by birth but can easily be made into your own signature dish with a few tweaks. This is a refreshing summer appetizer that’s perfect for parties and using a KitchenAid® Hand Blender makes it a snap to whip up.

Get the full recipe and a step-by-step photo tutorial on the KitchenAid blog.

Look at this thing we launched!

January 22, 2013

I haven’t talked publicly (very much) about the fact that I’ve joined a second company as a partner and VP. As soon as all the partnership paperwork is signed, I’ll be sharing a lot more! That said, I’ve been a fan of Digital DUMBO since 2009 when I started attending the events. I started consulting with Andrew, [...]

Your Perfect Thanksgiving Tipple

November 21, 2012

Time to hit the cocktail table! Yes, this time of year can be super stressy. Perhaps you feel this way this year? I don’t drink because I’m stressed, I drink because I love cocktails! And they are truly one of the things I’m thankful for. I am just as (and sometimes even more) passionate about [...]
