Simple Summer Recipe: Italian Deli Sandwich
My family is crazy about sandwiches. We reminisce about sandwiches past (the #9 from Too Fat) and we discuss future sandwiches (post-Thanksgiving’s turkey on sourdough). I haven’t left on a flight from California ever without a homemade sandwich in my carry-on. And when we come across a good “sammie” as we call them, we share the recipe. Like…

Simple Summer Recipe: A Cool Breakfast for Hot Days
It has been hot in Geneva lately. And I know hot. I’ve lived through dry, desert, wavy-lines-coming-off-the-ground heat in Bakersfield and sticky, humid, will-I-ever-be-dry-again heat in Charleston. But in Geneva, we’re experiencing a different heat. This is a 107°F heat from which there is no respite, because there is no air conditioning. Anywhere. On the busses.…

Simple summer recipe: The perfect burger
I know burgers are ubiquitous during summer months–topped with aged cheese, sliced avocado, gourmet ketchups. (Burgers are so fancy in Geneva that they regularly cost $37!) But when you come across a burger recipe so good that you don’t want any toppings on it for fear it may distract from the main attraction, you know…

Simple Summer Recipe: Spicy Glass Noodles
As much as I love living in a country with standout bread and cheese, there is not a lot of spice around these parts, so I find myself craving the exotic. We used to satisfy these cravings with a once-a-week Thai takeout night back in the States–but with the insane restaurant prices in Switzerland, I’ve…

Restaurants on the Road: Do you play favorites?
When we were in Cannes this past weekend we did a lot of things differently from how we usually travel–due mostly to the fact that I simply did not want to plan anything. I usually love planning, but for my birthday I wanted to relax and kind of see where the weekend took us. The…
