Happy birthday to Adam Richman! He's the host of the Travel Channel's "Man v. Food" and upcoming "Best Sandwich in America" (which will premiere on June 6). As the mother of a 21-year-old male who thinks that Adam and his Food Network counterpart, Guy Fieri of "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives," ...
One of the most memorable books I've read is the late Vincent Schiavelli's Bruculinu, America, the actor's remembrances of growing up in Brooklyn with his extended Sicilian family. The depictions of the scenes, the characters, and — especially — the elaborate dishes prepared by his grandfather, a retired master chef to ...
Nicole Kidman did it, so did Kelly Ripa, Demi Moore, Cindy Crawford and Ricki Lake. Doulas are the latest Hollywood “pregnancy essential” and moms all over Ann Arbor are following their lead, getting a head start on the stork without breaking the bank. Since May is “International Doula Month” and ...
Fresh fava beans have been showing up in local grocery stores over the last couple of weeks. These broad beans are delicious, nutty and buttery and are well worth the effort it takes to prepare them. Like many Americans, my first exposure to fava beans came courtesy of Hannibal Lecter ...
In celebration of March is Reading Month the entire staff of people who work with the students in Washtenaw County who have a hearing loss came together to plan a reading night. The event will include a potluck spaghetti dinner, a story read and interpreted in American Sign Language, a ...

Today is the first day of reporting back about my "Chopped" challenge, in which I had asked my blog readers to suggest ingredients I'd have to use in preparing appetizers, entrees or desserts. I had originally intended to just pick four options to write about; but I received several extra suggestions ...
If you need a quick side dish to supplement a meal, sometimes mixes are just the thing to save you. I'm usually a girl who bakes from scratch. But I had so many things to do this past weekend and so many places to be that the fastest option was ...
Miso macaroni and cheese with shiitake mushrooms. J.M. HIRSCH, AP Food Editor Fermented bean paste? Doesn't exactly scream party in your mouth. And yet we happily slurp it in that salty, savory soup doled out every time we sit down for sushi. And that's because miso really is a flavor ...
ALISON LADMAN, For The Associated Press In this grown up version of macaroni and cheese we take a trip to Italy. Sort of. Inspired by the Italian sub popular in the Northeast, we sauteed up salami, garlic peppers, sun-dried tomatoes and onion. Our cheese sauce is creamy and sharp with ...
The holiday season hasn't ended yet, even if we're all starting to normalize a bit after the chaos of shopping and wrapping and cooking and baking for Christmas. New Year's Eve is Saturday night; presumably you're either hosting a party and need to feed your guests, or you've perhaps been ...
I was talking to my favorite Produce Station clerk about holiday meals the other day, and the contortions that we go through to make each aspect of the meal special. We've got the holiday napkin rings, the holiday napkins, the water pitcher, and a rare appearance by the water glasses. ...
Tonight is the second night of Chanukkah, and I could have happily served latkes (potato pancakes) — I adore them! But I wanted something different, something that celebrates both culinary traditions for this holiday: the oil and the dairy. Most people, if they know anything about Chanukkah, think of it ...
It's hard to believe that something so creamy and so delicious could have only three — count 'em, three! — primary ingredients (not including seasonings)! But it's true. Dinner doesn't get much easier than this. Boil water, cook pasta, stir in cheese, plop it all on top of spinach... that's ...
The Village of Dexter's quest to become a home rule city is again moving forward. Late last week, officials met with the boundary commission, and a public hearing has been set for Jan. 17 at 4 p.m. at the Dexter District Library for boundaries that were found “legally sufficient” in ...
