Following in Stephanie’s footsteps…my favorite things in 2010!

Cypress Grove Chevre’s Purple Haze – YUM, I started eating it after reading Anya Firisen’s piece on lunch box cheeses and now I eat it like an addict

Annie’s cheddar Bunnies – cheezits got nothin’ on these, I think Kate Arding might agree

Daelia’s biscuits for cheese – so tasty! I especially like the hint of black pepper in these…quite delicious. They are available at Whole Foods, I believe.

Red wine – trying to educate my palate – 500 red wines (featured in this Winter issue’s Gear section) = great, simple resource

Tartine Bread –awesome book by the famous Chad Robertson of Tartine in San Francisco

Favorite recipes
From Mastering the Art of French cooking:
Boeuf bourguignon (YES, I made this after watching Julie and Julia) It ROCKS
Coq au Vin – similar in preparation to the boeuf bourguinon, but a few minutes/hours faster

Chocolate peanut butter cake : this cake fulfills all of my dessert fantasies, even the easy to make part.

Favorite Restaurants
