Walking into this restaurant is much like walking into a kitchen. If you visit the lower level, you can watch by windows through which you can see the pasta and bread being made. On the first floor, you are able to see the brick oven in which many of the dishes are baked. With the smell of garlic, tomatoes, and freshly baked bread, it smells like you're right at home.
I was able to speak with Tuscan Kitchen's owner, Joe Faro, and chef/partner, Jim Rogers, to learn more about this amazing restaurant.

Aunt Sue’s Pumpkin Bread
by TT September 24th, 2010 | Breads, Recipes
Like many others, when I cook and need inspiration I usually turn to the Internet. While I do have a cupboard filled with cookbooks, I find it easier to do a quick search online, as that will offer me more options at a quicker speed than reviewing my cookbooks. However, there are times when searching my personal collection is a better option.
Among my collection of purchased cookbooks are two binders filled with recipes clipped from magazines and index cards with hand-written recipes. Some of these handwritten cards are from my mom, some of which are newer to her repertoire and

NH’s Best Bread Baskets
by TT September 10th, 2010 | Restaurant News
Typically I don't eat a lot of bread. We tend not to serve it with meals, and I usually prefer having a wrap for a sandwich. For me, bread is something of an indulgence. If a restaurant is serving regular dinner rolls or slices of wheat bread, even if it's warm, it's something I skip. However, there are certain restaurants that we visit that I always plan on eating bread before the meal. Of these restaurants, two are located in New Hampshire.

Savory Scones

I have been baking scones for over a decade. They're an often requested breakfast dish and a favorite among family and friends. Depending on which person you ask, the best scone filling varies: blueberry/white chocolate chip, cinnamon chip, chocolate chip. As you can see from this list, I have stayed with the sweet style of scones.
For a while now, I've considered making a scone that ventured into the savory side. My husband, especially, has shown an interest in trying a scone of this fashion. With a delayed Father's Day celebration occurring just the other week, it seemed the perfect time

Sugar Biscuits
by TT April 2nd, 2010 | Breads, Recipes
We celebrated my husband's birthday this past Sunday evening, which meant that he chose the entire menu. It was a simple menu: grilled steaks topped with butter, broccoli, and Caesar salad. I asked if he wanted some sort of starch, and he requested sugar biscuits. That is where the simple menu became more difficult. Yes, I don't know when not to ask for more. . .
While sugar biscuits may seem easy, and they are, the problem is that he likes a particular type of sugar biscuits served at a Maryland restaurant, Friendly Farm. So, instead of simply being a
