This is just some pictures of stuff I’ve made at Stardust in the past couple months. I hope you have a cupcake or something nearby, or you’re likely to be pretty annoyed with me. BEWARE! NOMS AHEAD! That’s that for now.

The Arsenal of a Broke Baker
I’ve been meaning to write an article like this one for a while, since I started the Tasty Fever blog years ago. When I was first getting into baking, I noticed that a lot of cookbooks that focused on baking often assumed that the reader had a number of kitchen gadgets that I, as an … Continue reading »
Starting up the Stardust oven again
So, after lolling about unemployed at my parents’ house, I’ve begun baking again at Stardust Coffee & Video (or Video & Coffee… one of them). Last night I took a break because the water was turned off at my parents’ house due to a suspected leak, but the past handful of days have seen an … Continue reading »
Revisiting Audubon Park Community Market
So, now that I’m back in Orlando, I had been meaning to catch up with the local market scene. It didn’t take me long to go to the revived College Park Market located in the parking lot of Infusion on Thursday evenings. Small but sweet, it focused more on edible items for purchase. It was … Continue reading »
Bitchin’ Kitchen, aka Again I’m Watching Too Much TV
So yes, another post about a television show. Deal. I’ve been watching episodes of Bitchin’ Kitchen on Cooking Channel, a cooking show that looks as if it’s gotten heavy doses of punk rock, rockabilly and Pee-Wee’s Playhouse mixed in. In BK’s world, there isn’t any talking furniture, but rather three food correspondents who fill you … Continue reading »
Thanksgiving 2010: A Review
Thanksgiving this past Thursday was a day of intense eating. I haven’t been so full in ages. It was wonderful, although also slightly agonising when you have such delicious food in front of you and you’re struggling to eat it all because you’re already so full. But I managed. My meal with my parents actually … Continue reading »
Gettin’ all Thanksgiving up in here
So, this year I’m back in America celebrating Thanksgiving. I’m lucky because I get to have TWO Thanksgivings–one with my parents, and one with my friends Mike and Marie, who are going to throw down a vegan Thanksgiving. Tonight I’m going to make apple crumble for both meals (one vegan, one conventional), and I’m also … Continue reading »
Necco: My favourite Japanese cafe, ever
Exmouth Market is a decent place to be if you’re hungry in London, but my favourite place to go to on the street is Necco, the Japanese cafe with the pink awning with a cat on it. For those of you who know me and my obsession love of cats, I assure you there are … Continue reading »
Pub #35: The Yorkshire Grey, Theobald’s Road
The Yorkshire Grey was a pub I often passed on the bus, and I thought it looked quite cool from the outside. A grey pub front that looked quite modern, it looked like a gastropub that probably was quite nice. My visit back in August to the Yorkshire Grey was due to an aborted attempt … Continue reading »
Merkato, Caledonian Road
I’m a big fan of the Ethiopian food I used to get in Orlando, so when I moved to London last year and began taking the 91 from Holloway to Bloomsbury, I thrilled at the sight of at least three different Ethiopian restaurants on Caledonian Road as the bus lumbered along. Unlike in Orlando, where … Continue reading »
Goody Good Stuff, F’reals
So, the other day I was working a four-hour shift that turned into an eight-hour shift at work (tah-dah!). It was Sunday, and before all sorts of mayhem broke loose, one of my coworkers (whom I later abandoned to the savage hordes) bought some sweets and shared some with me. The sweets in question was … Continue reading »
Pub #31: The Princess of Wales, Chalcott Road
The Princess of Wales was part of a modest three-pub pub crawl my friend Tom and I embarked upon one Thursday evening in June. Come to think of it, what is the minimum amount of pubs that quantifies a “crawl”? It wouldn’t be two. I’m thinking three. Three seems like a fair enough number, especially … Continue reading »
The People’s Supermarket of Lamb’s Conduit Street
Lamb’s Conduit Street has been one of my favourite streets in London even before I moved here. I had read about it in an issue of Monocle, and stumbled upon the street itself while staying at the hostel in the first few days of being in London. Lately, there’s been a new reason to pay … Continue reading »
Pub #29: The Garden Gate, South End Road
Pub #29 was visited along with friends Matt and Jasmine, and new friend Jess (whom I haven’t seen since, but she was very nice, and if she’s reading this, hello!). We had just done a volunteer stint as the SOAS FoodCycle group in Kentish Town, and after a morning of cooking and baking, it was … Continue reading »
Pub #28: The Earl of Camden, Parkway
The Earl of Camden was one of those pub visits that had no plan, no rhyme nor reason to it. I was in Camden, hungry, and looking to add to the list of pubs visited on this project. I knew of one pub I mean to go to at some point or another, having stumbled … Continue reading »
