Postcards from (Italy) : Squid-Ink Pasta
A couple of weekends ago, I took my first ever, entirely alone trip: three days in Venice over Easter weekend. Nervous at first to be completely on my own, I arrived feeling slightly on edge and uncomfortable. But having done my research and knowing exactly how to get from the airport to the actual island [...]

Pasta with Homemade Pesto, Kale, Cherry Tomatoes, and Potato
Savannah starts her season, The Seasoned Kitchen… Over this past winter break my boyfriend, Andrew, and I prepared a special dinner just for our parents. Inspired by their love for Italian food and our recent kale cravings, we returned from Whole Foods with a bag full of winter greens, plump cherry tomatoes, a block of [...]

Fika Fridays: Chocolate Pasta (Oh Yeah, It’s Real)
Over Election Day break, my roommate Allison got flown out to Seattle for a job interview. I’m one of those people who really likes rainy days (a bit irrationally so) so when my roommate asked how much it rains in Washington, I don’t think she was expecting so much joy in my voice when I [...]

Thirty Minute Gourmet: Spaghetti with Arugula Pesto and Seared Shrimp
Pasta is my go-to 30 minute preparation. Not only is it a cinch to make, but it can be dressed up in an infinite amount of ways depending on what sauce you use. And yes, it’s hard to beat the flavor of a ragu that’s been sitting on the stove for 5 hours, but honestly, [...]

30 Minute Gourmet: Pasta Puttanesca
Pasta is definitely my go-to 30 minute preparation. It can be made in so many ways that it never gets boring, from simple penne and pesto, to a more elaborate bolognese or amatriciana. But it always satisfies. So when I had guests over the other day and knew I didn’t want to spend hours slaving [...]

The (green)Market Watch: Kale
Bringing us the latest on our farmer’s market, Merritt tells us how to make even a hearty green like kale delicious. We often think of winter as being a season devoid of green. Bare trees, white (or gray, or yellow) snow, and sensible black scarves. But winter vegetables aren’t all just starchy potatoes and squash. [...]

Events: Field Trip to Eataly!
Today (11/7) at 12 pm, the Culinary Society will be meeting at the Columbia gates on Broadway to hop on the 1 line to go to Eataly in the Flatiron District! Eataly is Mario Batali’s newest food venture, and it is simply amazing… in my opinion, it’s like the Disneyland of Italian Food, a small wonderland [...]

Do you like Mac’n'Cheese/do you believe in America?
I think America represents a lot of things. The dream of getting off of a boat from a foreign country and through hard work, making millions of dollars. Singing along with patriotic songs at the Fourth of July while watching fireworks. Going to Washington, D.C. and taking one of those optical illusion photos where [...]
