I am short. Never made it to 5’4″ — thus my dreams of becoming a long-legged, ballet dancer at Julliard turned into an application for culinary school. Nevertheless, there is still lots of dancing and constant choreography my kitchen. I can create a sauce with poise and handle a knife with equal aplomb but there is nothing graceful about the kitchen tool I use almost as often as my knife — my kitchen stool.

Q: I recently received a gift card to Bed Bath & Beyond. I’d like to buy a good-quality knife set and block with it, but I’m having trouble determining what brand and style would be the highest quality at a good value. I’m hoping to find one for $100 or less, but definitely no more than $150. Help!

“Fresh red bell peppers blended with celery, carrots, onion, thyme, and rice take on a little heat from cayenne and red pepper flakes in this colorful, chicken-stock based soup.”
I immediately fell in love with this West Philadelphia dining room. How lovely are those floor-to-ceiling bay windows? Unless you have a private yard, it might be a little too revealing at nighttime, but I would love to have a lazy breakfast at that table, looking out at all the flowers and foliage. What about you?

Q: Why is my cake so runny in the middle? I have been baking for a while, but every time I make a cake, the middle is always runny. I follow the recipes by every single word! I tried to bake them longer, I even doubled the time. But nothing works. The finish product tastes weird too. Really floury.
