A fab holiday fun session with Lee Anne Wong, Chef, TV Food Network personality and entrepreneur who wisely and freely riffs off practical cooking stories and tips while Marja creates St Nikolas' Marzipan Truffles...

The handsome and shy Spanish actor and photographer Fernando Iglesias visited this session to talk about Pedro Almodovar's latest movie, in which he makes a brief appearance, to share some fabulous soup, and to visit with his old friend Miss Chibi.

Brandy-marinated peaches and melted chocolate inside a package of warm, steamed and slightly crispy skins with orange gelato and a special champagne cocktail. A Dumpling Diva special concoction. Listen and follow along. There will be no leftovers.

Come join our Dumpling Diva, Marja Samson as she teaches us how to make something a little different: mentai spaghetti. Originally from Korea, it's a favorite in Japan for late night snacking and last minute carb loading.

Marja, our Dumpling Diva, has treated us to the sweet version of this historic treat and now, expanding our palate into savory, she starts up a new batch with homecured wild salmon embedded in these baby cakes.

The Dumpling Diva shows and tells of Dutch "Poffertjes" derived from or substituted for holy church bread during Napoleon's time. These little cakes both sweet and savory illustrate the phenom of cuisine and culture crossing borders.
