Let’s start with the anniversary… March 1st marked the first anniversary of The Food In-Laws! I can’t believe it has already been a year since we first officially opened our doors. We started out knowing little about how to set up and run a blog, but we have sure come a long way since then! […]
This month of February, I’ve spent a lot of time in the kitchen. Most of that time has been spent exploring a new cookbook – Carpathia: Food From the Heart of Romania by Irina Georgescu. This book was selected as the February challenge for the Rainydaybites Cookbook Club hosted by Deborah Balint. To be entirely […]
In this week’s Q&A Karen asked me if I had any goal cooking projects this year, and the immediate thought that came to mind was making ciabatta. I have made several kinds of bread, but ciabatta is a favorite of mine and I have always wanted to try making it. I didn’t necessarily expect to […]

Zoe gave a great description of the […]
Karen and I officially opened our blog in March of this year, but we started working out the details on how we wanted to proceed and what we wanted to say, as well as choosing a style for the blog and starting to build the site several months earlier in October. We had both just […]
We recently spent a few days at the shore where we enjoyed the sun, swimming and a trip to one of our favorite restaurants where you can dine at one of their outdoor seating areas right on the water. The food is always delicious, but somehow the view below while eating always makes it even […]
Let me begin by saying this is not a review, but a recommendation. I am sure that I won’t be including all the things that are expected of a book review – I don’t want to. I just want to share my experience with a book that has been a source of joy and satisfaction […]
