Crazy Delicious Miami’s Pavlova with Dulce de Leche

Of all the desserts, my number one choice to be quarantined with, the Pavlova takes the cake! If you’ve been to New Zealand or Australia or are just a dessert lover, you’ve probably heard of the pavlova, a meringue based cake named after the Russian ballet dancer Anna Pavlova. It’s such a popular dessert for special occasions that the culinary world in both countries is dueling to this day over the nationality of its creator. And here in Miami there's Piononos bakery and its divine version of the Pavlova.

Battle of the Bulge

How do you maintain your weight being a restaurant reviewer is a question I often get and thought I’d address it in a special blogpost. Coincidentally, an article in New York magazine (“Platt vs.Fat”) by their restaurant reviewer Adam Platt detailed his forays into weight loss strategies ranging from trendy juice cleanses and protein powders to fasting and “slimming prisons". The self described obese, diabetic prone Platt ended up going to a weight loss coach in (where else), New York City. The price tag? Corporate lawyer fees of $15K for ten hours.

Fabulous Friday – Krispy Kreme Pudding

Mon dieu! A Frenchman making a pudding out of Krispy Kreme donuts. Mais oui, at French 27, a welcome new addition to French restaurants in Miami. It tastes a little like bread pudding, but has a bit of a crunch on top and is not so sweet as the glazed donuts. Just right in my book. Then it’s topped with housemade vanilla ice cream. Also worth of FF status is the Champagne en Rose cocktail.

NaiYaRa: Thai + Vibe

Chef Bee as Chef Piyarat Arreeratn is known has almost a cult following. So when he opened his newest outpost, NaiYaRa, on South Beach at 1854 Bay Road, it was a hit from day one. I never went to his North Miami Beach restaurant, but had heard about it from colleagues who loved his Thai street food fare. Yes, the food is very good and yes, it’s in the “hot” Sunset Harbour neighborhood so it’s also about a party vibe.
