Buyer Beware | October 5, 2011

The truth is that two people with the same diagnosis don’t necessarily warrant the same treatment, and it’s the job of your mental health professional(s) to keep abreast of, and understand, the treatment options available and to work with you to find your ‘secret formula’ for optimal health: mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

Fusion of Food and Form Give Life to La Figa | October 4, 2011

For Tiberio Simone and Matt Freedman, two of the most beautiful things in the world are food and the human body – not necessarily in that order.

“Food is not just sustenance to me,” said Simone, a James Beard award-winning chef. “In culinary school, it is taught that how one serves and arranges a meal on the plate is almost as important as the preparation of the dish itself.
