Oddly, I saw these grapes growing on the sidewalk on West 21st Street in New York City recently. They were growing over the wall that houses a seminary in Chelsea--religiously appropriate city landscaping. Photo by Erin Gleeson.

I recently had a fun evening shooting in the kitchen at elements with chef/owner Scott Anderson and guest chef Kevin Sbraga (above), who won Top Chef last season. The dinner was a special prix-fixe event (scroll down...

Tomatoes in the kitchen at Elements in Princeton, NJ. Skins were left on for a flowery look. Brilliant. Photo by Erin Gleeson.

The afternoon I took this picture in Hell's Kitchen was one of the steamiest days this summer, but that didn't stop New Yorkers from loving HOT 99¢ slices. I have a feeling I might look back at...

I recently attended a wedding that was an early afternoon affair, and they served brunch. What a delicious idea! I'll take bagels and lox and an omelette bar over some dry chicken and rice dish any day! Photo by...

Chef Gabriel Kreuther of The Modern prepared this dish for the recent 4th Annual Taste of the Greenmarket benefit in NYC. Update from The Modern (Tues. 7/26, 12:45pm EDT): The dish is Needle Panna Cotta with Nasturtium flowers and...

On my recent trip to Holland, we visited the adorable little town of Edam, and I got to try some genuine Edam cheese. This salad was covered with aged Edam cheese, pecans and roasted cherry tomatoes. Photo by Erin Gleeson.

I was recently in Holland for a week, and my good friend and travel buddy, Josh, became OBSESSED with stroopwafels, a Dutch delicacy. A stroopwafel is like a big wafer cookie sandwich that's a bit chewy and filled with a sweet syrupy...

Recently, I was at someone's house for brunch and bacon-covered mazoh balls were served (I believe inspired by this NPR show). How terribly traif! Well... almost. This meal was in a kosher home, so the...

This week, Gilt launched a new food website, Gilt Taste.  I had the pleasure of attending the launch party in Chelsea and the even greater pleasure of finally getting to meet Ruth Reichl, whom I've admired for years. I...

It seems that pop-ups are popping up all over New York City recently. What's going on? Or should I say What Happens When? That's the name of a new pop-up resto that has a nine-month lease on a...

In honor of the James Beard Awards being held tonight, I thought I'd post about Craig Deihl of Cypress Restaurant in Charleston,...

I know this piece of cake doesn't look so hot, but to be fair, it's been through a lot. Last weekend I was at a house party in Williamsburg. It was still Passover, so I was having wine instead of beer, cheese with no...

It's asparagus season, people! Did anyone know this is what asparagus looks like when it's growing? I took these shots today while visiting Terhune Orchards near Princeton, NJ. We ate this asparagus tonight for dinner and it was seriously delicious. Photography by Erin...
