Finding the Foodie Within, it seems, is a lot like falling in love. At first, its all very passionate and exciting: No food is too strange, to cold, or too spicy; wine is fascinating in every color, flavor, and vintage; and there simply aren’t enough nights in the week to go to fancy restaurants and bask [...]

Baby Steps
Posted in Julie's "The Foodie Within" on February 11, 2010 | 2 Comments »
Sometimes the world of Foodies is so full of possibilities that I feel downright overwhelmed. There are so many things I want to learn that I don’t know where to start! For starters, I want to know about wine – how its made, and what to observe when I taste it. Then I want to [...]
Friends and Wine
Posted in Julie's "The Foodie Within" on February 7, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
It has been said that, “In wine one beholds the heart of another,” and beyond the simple effects of intoxication, there does seem to be something about wine, when combined with food and good conversation, that makes strangers into friends. One evening last week, I found such friends in a little bistro called Liluma, nestled in St. [...]
An Embarassment of Riches

I’ve been away from my blog longer than I intended, but not because I couldn’t think of things to say. In the last few weeks, I’ve had so many thoughts its been difficult to sort them into something meaningful. I feel like I did going through the course catalog in college: I have so many [...]
Transformation

When I hear the word “monarch,” I think of transformation. In the span of a few short weeks, the monarch changes form so completely that she goes from a simple, earth-bound caterpillar to a glorious butterfly, dancing high above the summer fields. How appropriate it is, given the nature of my journey towards life as a Foodie, [...]
Apricots & Saffron

Performance anxiety, I’m told, is very common when cooking a new dish. Even my Dad, a gourmet cook and Foodie extraordinaire, has been known to “leave the building” in the final minutes before a dinner party, so I was in good company as the clock chimed 5:00 this evening. My inner critic was busy whispering warnings: “You aren’t [...]
The Journey Begins

The new year has begun and I’m off and running. I’ve started my Foodie expedition the way everyone in my family starts a new project: Buying books. I am currently reading The Foodie Handbook by Pim Techamuanvivit and Tender at the Bone: Growing Up at the Table, a memoir by New York Times food critic Ruth Reichl. The Foodie [...]
The Foodie Within
Posted in Julie's "The Foodie Within" on December 31, 2009 | 1 Comment »
I have a confession to make: I am not a Foodie. By definition, a Foodie is someone for whom food is a passion. Foodies love to eat, but that’s only one face of their interest. Foodies want to learn about food. They want to know why certain foods appeal to them, where their food comes [...]
