I’ve noticed that there are two sorts of home cooks: those who frown upon advice from a chef and those who welcome it. I am from the latter group. I’ve learned some techniques from chefs I never could have learned on my own. And I love picking their brains about where they shop and how [...]
It might not seem possible to donate to charity while sipping a cappuccino as you stroll through SoHo. But a new partnership between Dean & DeLuca and Shot of Charity™, a nonprofit founded by three Georgetown University graduate students, makes that possible. When you order a coffee and ask for a Shot of Charity™, 25 [...]
