I've lived in Pittsburgh most of my life, and I'm still forever finding new and interesting places to eat. I hope you enjoy my future posts on the subject. Spices can do a real number on you if you're not prepared - I've been fortunate so far, and I try not to inflict my experiments on too many people. My husband, luckily, is quite willing to put up with me & my culinary accidents. Melissa – hello & welcome!

I live in Pittsburgh and would absolutely welcome hearing more about the culinary world around this area. I adore La Prima (especially the iced tea they have downtown) and Il Piccolo Forno. Really impossible trying to get lunch there, though, because of parking. Also, a belated note on your spices post - I'm not so good with spices and am timid of them after cooking a dinner for four 15 years ago which was a complete disaster and totally inedible. So I wouldn't use something I hadn't tasted now. One of my favorite recipes is sauteed zucchini and carmelized sweet potatoes with sage, and if you don't know if you like sage, how would have a clue if you'd like the dish, you know?
