The Hallmark Channel has created a new cookbook from firehouses, to go along with an original movie they recently produced. Some of the recipes come from a Philadelphia firehouse.
- Center City Philadelphia is now bursting with sidewalk cafes, with more than 200 on the books just seven years after they were legalized.
- In the Market Basket there are wooden salad servers, salad bowls and Made in Napa Valley curry sauce.
- Use leaves (banana, fig and grape to name a few) for wrapping food for cooking instead of aluminum foil.
- Local politics gets in the way of the sales of the Italian Market Cookbook.
- Grilled pizzas make for easy, crowd-friendly meals.
- Inquirer food critic Craig LaBan selects the two-year-old Swiss Gruyère from Emmi as the cheese of the month.
