One of the many joys of being a food writer is getting sweet assignments. Today’s was one of the sweetest! Leandro and I went to Bon Bons Chocolatier in Huntington Village to see how they confect their delicious treats. It smells like heaven and was the perfect place to spend a rainy weekend morning. So cozy and alive with happy things!
Next birthday perhaps?
The details are for Edible Long Island/Manhattan/Brooklyn/East End combined winter issue which should hit the streets around November 15, but I had to share a couple of pictures with you.

It was a delicious morning and I am looking forward to writing the piece!
The takeaway!

When the heat gets tropical, so should the drinks. On a recent trip to the mountains of Puerto Rico, I was inspired by a wonderfully cooling and exotic sangría I had up around and about El Yumque (Caribbean National Forest, the only tropical rainforest in the U.S. Forest Service system) at Noelia’s, recommended to us […]
There are a number of land crab species skittering about Caribbean coastlines. Some are edible and the one we eat most here in Puerto Rico (although I am told they mostly are imported from Venezuela these days) is Cardisoma guanhumi which we call juey and — if you are English-speaking — you might call the […]
