Le Marche Richard Lenoir: TidBit of the Day
Paris is known for good food. We get that. It’s also known for good shopping. We get that too. But when you combine the two, you get one of the most wonderful outdoor markets anywhere. Near the Bastille Station, Le Marche Richard Lenoir is a market city blocks long with vibrant flowers, fresh artisanal breads, [...]
Putting the Real in Reality Food TV: Melissa@Market
Dear Food Television Programming, I want to believe you have America’s best interests at heart. Perhaps your shows really do intend to inspire people to step back into the kitchen for something other than a bag of cheesy crisps and a fizzy soda (only on a commercial break, of course). Should you truly wish [...]

Confessions of an Unchef-y Chef: Melissa@Market
This week marked my first demonstration of the season for the farmer’s market. As with most of the classes I teach, my employers and I haggled over my “title”. I like monikers such as “food educator” or even “cooking instructor. They tend to like “chef”. And, you see, I’m not really a chef. To me, [...]
Food for the Long Haul: Melissa@Market
Like most Americans, I was once a sprinter. I like things done fast for an immediate result. I mean this both literally and metaphorically. As I’ve matured, I’ve found that I’ve evolved in both domains. Running-wise, once a short sprinter in my youth, this weekend I completed my ninth half-marathon. Quick and immediate have been [...]
A Welcome to Melissa@Market
One year ago this week, I was terribly unhappy. Then, the Farmer’s Market changed my life. Hyperbole, you say? (Congratulations on your extensive vocabulary, incidentally). I say, truth. (My vocabulary *is* smaller than yours). After a very depressing winter, an unclear career direction, and a severe case of the blahs, I made a decision. The [...]

Galoshes Goulash with a Splash of Dumplings, Ja?
It’s raining, it’s pouring – welcome, Autumn! I hope you stay for a while. While I’m having fun splashing in my rainboots (who says you are too old to splash in puddles?), I thought this would a perfect time to try out a warm goulash stew. My inspiration was a photo by Cake Mountain Man’s [...]
Boston Beanie Baby and Doro Wat What?
A few months back, I threw my sister a baby shower. I’m showing off this is the hand-sewn quilt I made for the Kid. Well, logic would follow that several months later, a little person has since emerged. So off I went to Boston to meet him for the first time. Bostonians are a loyal [...]
