My daughter loves the red wine risotto–especially with bright green peas in it! Purple and green food is hilarious to a 3 year old.

Thanks for the recommendation – we are going tonight! I love that they only take same day reservation!

anna — Ooh, good to know. I’m drawn to the shape of that risotto pan. It seems perfect for so many sauces and smaller dishes. Sigh.

Honeybee — Thank you.

Cathy — No, I hear you. I *once* found a Barolo for like $25 and loved it. I’ve never seen it again. Barolos are almost never less than $50. It’s nuts. Especially when my unpracticed palate loves a $9 Montepulciano almost as much. I mean, mostly as much.

Mara — I didn’t take pictures but my friend Joc did. I did steal her camera a few times and took some of the available-light pictures, like the cupcakes, flowers and some ceremony pics.

We had a seriously crap-tactular meal at Del Posto — the dining room, not the Enoteca — last week (which is on the blog, if you care to feel our pain more directly). The lone highlight of the meal was a screamingly delicious cheese risotto, sans Barolo. But, overall, “sucked” would not be too strong an adjective. Next time back to Babbo for us.

Did you take any pictures of Steve and Gail’s wedding?

I must say I enjoy Batali–on TV–if only for being one of the few remaining real chefs on the Food Network. However, many congratulations for bastardizing his risotto with the good advice given by Ms. Moskin. But unlike you, I can’t say which wine works better since I haven’t had the “real” thing! (yikes, that sounds suggestive… still, was it good??)

Nothing wrong with your pictures as far as I am concerned. I really like the look of your blog, your stories and your recipes! Yours is one foodblog I read regularly!

*swoon* I despite Batali and his show and his pompous ways but you can’t deny good food. Oh well. I guess I shall have to suck it up and visit. Thanks. The food looks delicious.

PS I read back into what I’ve missed while I was gone and moan, I want that chocolate cake…

Somebody may have already asked this in the above 20 comments… did you watch any of the Chefographies last week? I ended up liking all of them so much more after watching those, even Sandy Lee!

be wary of his cookware – i have the dutch oven and while it is a nice piece of kitchen eye-candy, it heats very unevenly.
