Dr. Fiance and I moved to St. Louis on July 1, 2010. It is hard to believe that we are coming up on our first anniversary in Missouri. In honor of this first year I am going to be publishing a series of posts about the things that we have come to love about St. […]

As a downtown St. Louis resident I am a big fan of all of the new development that is happening here. We are getting more and more restaurants every day, and over the weekend I got a sneak peak at the new Pickles Deli which is opening up on the corner of 7th and Olive […]
Did you know that there is a National Mango Board? Neither did I until I was invited to a National Mango Board event. Not surprisingly, the National Mango Board is all about the promotion of … well … mangos. They are hosting a series of events around the U.S. to raise awareness of mangos and […]
Nearly all of the food featured here on Shoot To Cook was cooked, styled and photographed by yours truly. However, on Tuesday morning I noticed that the Cha Cha Chow food truck was mere blocks from my apartment, so rather than making lunch for myself, I trotted down the street for some tacos. I am […]
So there are a number of things that I should be posting about, like that beer event without beer I went to last week, and gorgonzola risotto and all kinds of other stuff, but today I’m just going to do some shameless self promotion. I recently was awarded a Bronze Award by COLOR Magazine for […]
I’ve been on the road again quite a bit and it’ll be great to be back in St. Louis. As I’ve mentioned, I travel a lot for my work which means a lot of time in airports. It’s pretty interesting seeing how air travel is done all over the country. Big airports, small airports, well […]
I have a pretty nice espresso machine which was a gift from Dr. Fiance for Christmas a couple of years ago. I have a number of really awesome espresso cups too, and since I’ve had the machine I’ve made some passable espresso. However, more often than not I end up with weak, thin espresso with […]
Fellow St. Louis cook (and New York transplant) food blogger Nupur of One Hot Stove has a great post today about minimizing food waste, something that is something I certainly need work on. Since a large focus on my cooking is the resulting photography, how the food looks as I prepare it is very important. […]
Dr. Fiance and I didn’t do much cooking this weekend on account of an arctic trip into the Missouri wilderness to locate and slay a giant Christmas tree. It’s possible we over-compensated for ten years of insanely priced and incredibly compact New York City trees because we ended up with a tree that is nearly […]
