You're the renowned chef and owner of a super popular restaurant in a big city. An important food critic is sitting at a table tonight with his friends. When his order is about to be sent out you realize one of the dishes is completely wrong. What would you do?

Normally Peking duck takes over 24 hours to make, however this dish — which is inspired by the ingredients used in the traditional Chinese recipe — comes together in twenty short minutes. Duck breasts are used instead of a whole duck, making for a quick cook time. The fragrant, syrup-like sauce is a blend of fresh orange juice, sesame oil, and Sriracha. To make this exciting dish — from our friends at MyRecipes.com — tonight, read more

I recently spent the weekend at my friend Laura's house on the strand in Hermosa Beach. It was wonderfully luxurious to be mere meters away from the ocean. To thank her for a fabulous time, I want to send her a useful kitchen item. Can you help me find the perfect gift? Her kitchen is decorated with seaside accents and beachy colors so look for items that fit the oceanside theme like this fun fish platter.

Yesterday TeamSugar and I hosted a surprise Cinco de Mayo party here in the Sugar office! In little under 45 minutes, we transformed the conference room into a Mexican fiesta zone. Soft tacos, taquitos, and chips were on the menu. We filled buckets with ice and Coronas and pitchers with the ultimate margarita. To see the transformation in action, check out the video below.

I had so much fun with last week's The Hills food quiz, I decided to do another one this week! On last night's episode, Lauren and Lo got a puppy, Heidi headed to Las Vegas, and Audrina actually cooked. Did you watch? Take our fun quiz to see if you picked up the foodie details!
If you're more like me than PartySugar — and by that I mean a solid procrastinator — I should probably remind you that Mother's Day is this Sunday. If you still don't know what to get for the lady of your life, well calm down, I've got some ideas.
Le Creuset recently announced a new Dijon color set. The bright and bold yellow color is wonderfully Spring friendly and a load of fun. Pots and pans don't sound like the most amazing Mother's day gift, but believe me a new Le Creuset set does. But, if mom ends up hating it, take her to a day spa and keep the Dijon set for yourself!
If you want to spoil her with an entire mustard-yellow theme, then scroll through to see some more bold finds.
