live it up." --- Betty White

talking about; Wickwood's Blueberry French Toast; The very addictive
Gnudi with Brown Butter & Sage Sauce; Cinnamon Sugared Popovers;
Dulche de Leche Cake or Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake; Shrimp and Lobster
Sausage with Red Pepper Aioli; Wickwood’s Cardamom Streusel Coffee
Cake (gluten-free); New Ways with Roasted Vegetables; A Decadent
Chocolate Mousse Cake inspired by Jacques Genin; How to make Homemade
Ricotta and Boursin Cheeses or whatever Julee’s latest obsessions may
be that week. We’ll see.

of Vintage Champagnes, artisnal global and American ingredients such
as cheeses, oils, vinegars, condiments and chocolates, always
chocolates.
• Share Julee’s adventures
with her fellow food lovers and her stories of the early upside-down
days of The Silver Palate store and cookbook.
• Discuss food and health
today in America --- the Locavore movement; sustainable agriculture,
how to cook gluten free/sugar free/meat free; how to eat healthy,
garden organically, save seeds, and find the best food writing today.
• Hear about her quest for the
best as she's searched for foods at the world's markets, organic and
heritage farms, and sought out the finest authentic artisan producers.
• "Go along" on her most
recent gastronomical journeys to Paris, Venice, Florence, London, the
English Mid-lands, New York, San Francisco, Nantucket and New Orleans.
