Contact Mike
If you would like to get in touch with me, you’ve got a number of options, so feel free. I don’t bite.
- You can post comments on just about every page on this site, so if you have questions/comments about anything I’ve written before, feel free to post it at the bottom of the page.
- You can follow me on Twitter. If you want to chat with me (and countless others) about anything or nothing in particular, its a great place for it.
- You can email me. Whether its a question about a recipe, feedback about a recipe you’ve tried (and loved, of course!
), a request to send me free swag/consider a product review, or you just want to say hi, go for it. If its a link exchange/SEO/pyramid scheme sort of thing though, you can save both of us some time though and don’t say hi (sorry).
And lastly, if you’re wondering if I’ve ever cooked some particular dish, before you fire off that email asking for a recipe, please try searching on the site first. If you can’t find what you’re looking for and you have questions (or an idea that you think would make for a great post), I am always open to new ideas.
Anywho, that’s all for now. I hope you enjoy the site and aren’t too shy–I’d love to hear from you.

Hi Mike, I was directed to your page on ice cream while searching for a technique to form ice cream into the shape of a rose. My aunt served ice cream like this at my sisters wedding shower about 35 years ago. I am planning a baby shower for my daughter-in-law and can not stop thinking about the ice cream roses. I haven’t had any luck finding directions for rose shaped ice cream (each ice cream rose was 1 serving). If you can offer any help I would appreciate it. Also, the roses were not made in a mold, they were hand scooped. Thanks, Janice

I once bet a young lady that she couldn’t spell two words correctly. The first word: Souvenir, she got! The second word: Restaurateur, she failed to spell and I won a plane trip to sunny Florida. I wish I’d made the bet with you (laughs): See POPPA AL POMODORA posted Sept 10, 2008. There is not supposed to be an “N” in the word. Love your site and admire your photographic abilities. Don’t mind any other typos…God knows my sites are full of them…but I think dealing with food, you should get this one right! Enjoy!

Hello,
I love your recipes! Great job.
So far, I have made the choc peanut butter cheesecake twice. It gets wonderful reviews!
The only person who isn’t a fan of it, is my husband..he Loves cheesecake of any kind, but Hates peanut butter. Is there something you can suggest to add instead, for that one layer? I’d love to keep all the other ingredients though.
Thanks!!

Alright, chef-guru-extraordinaire, I’ve got a work-related challenge for you. Well, my work-related anyway. I want to pose this to Top Chef, but I think you are more likely to a) do a better job and b) do it period. I’m making my hurricane kit–canned and freeze dried goods galore, but I keep thinking that this could be more appetizing. Are you up to the challenge of making a 3-day menu for a gourmet hurricane kit? Use gourmet ingredients (as long as they aren’t perishable) and/or make amazing recipes from crap ingredients (also non-perishable).

Hi Mike:
Just found your blog. Looks great. Question. Do you have a link to print your recipes without all the other copy?

Mike, just tried the Afghan pumpkin recipe–beyond delicious!! What I most appreciate about your recipes is the background commentary, followed by step-by-step pics and directions (with a few cautionary notes thrown in when appropriate). Don’t know how you find the time to cook at this level, but you’ve inspired me to eat in a high food chain Thanks!

Hello Mike: I found your Chicken Francaise recipe and want to try it instead of the one that was emailed to me from Allrecipes.com. Yours looks so much better. I subscribed to your site today but wanted to know if you can set up your recipes so they can be emailed to someone? I didn’t see this on your website. Thanks for any input.

Mike,
First I want to tell you thank-you for doing this site and to tell you just how much I have enjoyed reading it! My husband tends to get a little unsettled while I am enjoying your site, when I tell him I am looking up another one of your wonderful cheesecake recipes, he thinks he is going to go to heaven. My question to you is: Do you have a pie crust recipe that is made with crushed nuts? You see my family has a terrible problem with diabetics. So even though the recipe says ‘diabetic’ it doesn’t always work that way. My sister has diabetes and so she is very careful of the carbohydrates as well as the sugar content. She had a recipe for a crushed nut pie crust but can’t seem to find it now and I want to be able to get the recipe. If you can please help me with this quest. Thank-you and God Bless you!

Hey Mike, First time cookin up a recipe from your blog. Took on the Beef Stroganoff, and it was a big hit.
Great flavor, and worked great with some herbed bread. Look forward to trying some others very soon.
Thanks for putting these recipes up on your site.
