Welcome to Two Frys! Two Frys is a blog featuring recipes we create or make from our favorite chefs, cookbooks, TV and/or recipe sites. Allen and me are avid home cooks, love trying out recipes and coming up with our own concoctions. Two Frys cover food festivals and events in NYC/NJ and farmers markets.
We review food products, kitchen goods, cookbooks and food related books. Restaurants and bakeries are featured from places we come across in our travels. Upcoming to the blog, are restaurants and bakeries in Riverdale (Bronx).

My background is not in the culinary industry. I have a Master of Arts Degree in Anthropology. As I was studying bones, evolution and genetics, I was baking as a hobby. I baked in between exams, writing papers, reading and doing my thesis in graduate school. I am a home cook and learned to bake and cook from cookbooks, magazines, blogs and cooking shows on Food Network and other food channels. Baking is relaxing and I enjoy it. I especially love baking cakes, pies and cookies. Cooking is a big part of my life and I try new recipes whenever possible. I love meeting chefs, cookbook authors, attending food demonstrations and food festivals. I would like to take cake decorating baking classes in the near future.


Allen is a certified Web Graphics Designer and cooked professionally in restaurants back home in northern California. Allen really loves hot sauces, grilling and spices. He has a green thumb and learned to take advantage of apartment living in the Bronx by indoor gardening. Allen is currently growing and sprouting hot peppers and herbs for 2013. Allen can also be found on Facebook at the following link: Rockabilly Chef / Mr. Hot Sauce. Allen also is a member of the Chilli-Heads group on Facebook and is friends with many great hot sauce creators in the USA and Worldwide. An Urban NYC indoor and windowsill gardener 2013 marks Allen's first year growing NYC Urban Bhut Jolokia's aka Ghost Peppers.

At Two Frys, we feature some things we buy and like. If something has been sent us to for coverage, we note it in our posts. Two Frys is not endorsed by any companies. We do this site because we love baking, cooking and of course, eating great grub!
