Recipes from Chef Nancy Waldeck
A Trip to Malaysia
Do you enjoy Malaysian food? If you're a fan of Thai food - Malay food will make you happy, too! My friend Carrie and I headed up the highway 75 corridor to Penang. Malaysian food is similar to Thai, and combines elements from Indian and Chinese cuisines. Coconut...
Caffeine and Octane
We took a drive up to East Cobb this morning for a real buzz! Here's a gathering of car enthusiasts who meet once a month, (first Sunday), to show off their beauties. And what a bunch they are - from old jalopies to state of the art Ferraris, they all sparkle and...
Beautiful Blue Tasting
A few months ago, I taught a Dessert Wine Class with a Cheese Tasting. It was so much fun, and everyone was very interested in how to put together a cheese plate and conduct a tasting. So, I thought I would share this tasting sheet from one of my sister's parties....

Wine, Old Fashioned Caramel Cake and Friends
You probably have some "old" friends like I do - friends that you don't see for months at a time, but when you finally get together you are able to pick up right where you left off from the last visit. My 2 buddies and I rendezvoused in LaGrange Georgia this week....
Fresh Flavors for Fast Food
It's hard to believe I am going to blog about fast food. But, I am. Years ago, I used to travel to California for business. When I did, I always kept a lookout for an El Pollo Loco. And now, finally they have arrived in Atlanta! This Mexican transplant is actually...
Friends and a French Cafe
Ooh La La! My friend Trish transported me to France yesterday morning. We "brunched" at Douceur de France, a tiny pastry shop and cafe. The smell of chocolate croissants wafted out as we opened the door. The assortment of pastries was beautiful. This small restaurant...
Just received the first "sneak peak" pictures from Grace Natoli-Sheldon, and I had to share. Isn't that a great sandwich? It's sitting in a bed of garlic scapes, the flower stalks found on hardneck garlic plants. Often thrown away, they are great eating in pesto or...
