Well, unfortunately, this will be my last blog with Chef Nancy. I cannot say enough great things about her and all of the positive experiences I have had! I am going out with a bang and will share with you all one of the best recipes, ever. Chef Nancy made it for a...

Hi! I'm Haley Warren, the lucky new intern with Taste and Savor. I'm a graduate of the University of Georgia, doing my internship through Iowa State University. I'm on my community rotation right now, and will be moving over to Piedmont Hospital in a bit, to start a...
I know you've heard of Andrew Weil - inventor of the Anti-Inflammation Diet, guru to the stars, advocate of healthy eating AND integrative medicine. I had the pleasure of seeing him in person at a conference a few years ago, and his presentation rocketed him up my...
This is not a secret to the frequent readers of my blog - but I can eat the bright flavors of Mexico for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not the goooopy-cheesy-fried-full-of-fatty-meat-cream-fare that leaves you in a food coma. Oh no...I'm talking about the yummy...
Did you celebrate National Chardonnay Day this week? The group that gathered last night claimed the 23rd as the day to celebrate according to the website National Wine Days. Food and wine was brought by all, and as I opened the door, one of our friends handed me...
I've been entranced by purple cabbage this spring. All of a sudden that round, heavy purple head that sits in every grocery store veg department is calling my name. Its not just me, though...I've read a couple of different articles in my foodie magazines that extoll...
I love berries. Earlier this week I was in the car headed to a week of fun work in St Pete, Florida. Its not a bad drive at all - I get in the car at my house and seven hours later I pull into my sister's driveway. Podcasts and audio books keep me company, and I...
Don't you love a recipe that evokes oohs and ahhs from your guests? This one qualifies. Bright flavor from the fruit, rich flavor from the tea and a hit of ginger make it irresistible. Bonus! Its easy to make - even ahead of time. I had never tasted ROOIBOS (ROY-boss)...
What's better than three yummy-dippy-things to stick a cracker or carrot in? (I love to eat with my hands, I admit.) I also love the briny salty tang of olives, capers and OH! anchovies. I taught a class last week that totally agreed with me. (Don't you just love it...
A PILE of Peppers! Its often the simplest foods that make me happy. You too? One of my simple favorites are Roasted Red Peppers. I feel a little like the Sham WOW guy when I start talking about them:) Wow! they are a snack, an entree, in a soup, topping a pasta,...
I attended thirteen different schools during my “wonder bread” years. We moved constantly until I was in high school. By then, thankfully my family was in one place. One thing was constant, though….my mother’s love for food from her southern childhood. Sweet onions...
Ahhh, we are finally getting a touch of spring here in Atlanta. This gorgeous, (and much anticipated), weather has made me think about last spring... in France! I just wrote a blog for Breast Investigators, and shared a few memories - and a easy recipe for a Provencal...
When I was growing up, my Grandmother called small, new, red potatoes, “Irish Potatoes”. I learned about the great potato famine in Ireland in elementary school. I loved Irish stew, a meaty bowl filled with carrots and potatoes. Like me, I bet you think of...
I didn't grow up thinking that Africa was a place I wanted to visit. There were so many other romantic spots, Paris, Rome, Venice, Provence, Madrid... After visiting Africa from North to South, East to West, I have to say its my favorite place to travel. From the...
