Rebecca went down to Florida with Curtis and Ingrid to the HSN Enjoy Arts and Tastes Food and Wine Festival. The festival included unique experiences including live cooking demonstrations, Sip, Savor and Swing, a Latin-inspired swing dance celebration and a few visits to party and sell on HSN.

We brought a food editor to visit Jacques Torres’s new 40,000 square foot factory in Brooklyn. This is his latest masterpiece!

Chef Alina Eisenhauer recently moved her Sweet Kitchen and Bar into a new location on Worcester’s Restaurant Row. The new space is four times the size of the original Sweet and pays homage to Alina’s favorite Atlanta and Chicago-based restaurants with a shabby-chic open concept design. Sweet now features two floors: a main room that is home to her bakery during the day and dessert cocktail bar at night and a loungey second floor for private events and functions.

If you’re in the area, stop by 72 Shrewsbury Street for any of Chef Alina’s goodies- from award winning cupcakes and one-of-a kind designer cakes over 35 martini drinks and Chef Alina’s delectable Dosant (yes, the original – before the cronut was invented)!
