Quick-Dry Food Dehydrator by Good Cooking

The new Quick Dry Food Dehydrator contains four trays to dry large batches of foods at once.  The shelves nest for easy storage.   Eric, Bite of the Best team  - I recently tested this lightweight, user-friendly unit that's easily programmable with only four buttons, even the novice epicurean can feel like an accomplished chef. The dehydrator operates at a sound similar to the low stove-top fan setting; the washable trays make clean-up a breeze. I  suggest this product for the at-home cook looking to venture into the art of dried food - it's easy to use, easy to clean and easy to store!

Tolli’s Apizza, East Haven

Tolli's is an 60-year-old neighborhood Italian restaurant, where most patrons are well-known by the staff, including my friend Claire who suggested we dine there. A couple of us indulged in the thinly layered eggplant parmigiano ($14) baked in a ramekin and served with a side of pasta pomodoro and a salad. I do recommend it along with the unusual tomato vinaigrette on the salad. Our waiter forgot to bring us the homemade bread that should have accompanied it. (I realized this as I began to write this review.) Also recommended is the hearty tuna salad platter including onions, celery, capers, olives, shaved carrots and tomatoes on a bed of greens [...]

Mickey's — on the corner of Whitney and Dixwell in Hamden — offers quite a bargain for happy hour Monday through Friday from 3:30 to 6:30. Drinks are $1 off regular prices; appetizers are half price and quite filling. We nibbled the hearty portion of broccoli rabe and sausage (the latter a tad overcooked,) sautèed in olive oil and seasoned with garlic and hot pepper flakes ($5); and five large grilled shrimp over cannellini beans, flavored with pancetta and cherry tomatoes, served with garlic crostini ($6). Such a tasty bargain! - bonnie Follow @BonnieBOTB Mickey's 2323 Whitney Ave Hamden, CT 06518 (203) 288-4700

Bangkok Gardens, New Haven

I noticed a huge plate of veggies served to the table next to us and told the waitress that I would like what they had, but without the tofu, with chicken and added spiciness. She thought for a moment, and figured out how to easily accommodate me. The resulting dish was just what I was looking for: a melange of fresh veggies, plus mini corn, with some thin pieces of chicken in a brown sauce with just enough kick to satisfy. I'd recommend. My dining partner order sauteed chicken with lots of Thai basil, some bell peppers and onions also served with a bowl of rice ($10). Both were good, [...]
