Author: Gotham Foodie

Hello there, fellow foodies! My name is Erica, I was born and raised in Germany, and moved to the US, New York City to be exact, in July of 1987. I have worked most of my time here in the Big Apple as a bartender, but my true love is food. I cook just about every day, I search for good food everywhere, and pretty much always find it. I don't consider myself a food critic, I don't have the culinary background for that kind of expertise. I do however know good food, good chefs and good restaurants. I report back about my culinary adventures, and I choose to leave out my unsatisfactory experiences. We have enough negativity in our daily lives, I don't want to add to that. All the recipes in my FROM MY KITCHEN and DOTW blogs are cooked and prepared by me. All pictures are taken by me. I don't always eat everything you see in my pictures, but you bet your buns, I do try everything. Last but not least, you should know that I am a huge Top Chef fan. I have never missed an episode of the Bravo TV show. I have at this point visited almost 20 restaurants run by Top Chef contestants, and I'm continuously impressed by their skill, drive and passion. So I will continue to seek them out, and I hope you join me in my journey!

Don't catch a cold! And if you do, have some hot lemonade to ward it off. And why not give it a kick? #winterwarmer recipe link in bio
It's getting waaaarmer! I can feel energy refueling my body and mind. I'm definitely a sufferer of the winter blues. The high 40"s after this dismal winter seems like the Caribbean to me. And of course I see Icecream on the horizon.
Aaaah, the Bronx. You either love it or you hate it, but then again most people don't know it. Personally, I love it here. It's the soul of New York City. It's still authentic and pure. Don't be scared. It's raw and real. It is New York. Our food is served in big portions, just like our passions. It's authentic, just like our residents, who lived here for decades. It's traditional, just like our mothers. It's versatile, just like our neighbors. Don't be scared, come and eat.
Having grown up in Northern Europe, certain tastes throw me right back, like this Blueberry Crumble from Fabrique, which is a Swedish bakery here in the Big Apple. Totally threw me back. Delicious.
Today one year ago, I was in Miami. Of course, because of Covid, I can't go this spring. That's besides the fact that I haven't worked in 11 months, so financially that wouldn't be an option either way. So, what's a girl to do? Have a Cuban Sandwich is the logical answer.
A cinnamon bun can honestly make your day. So simple, but full of homey flavor. Bourke Street Bakery probably makes the best one.
