I'm back from an east coast trip visiting family and friends and no doubt it had been too long. It felt great to reconnect. This was our first trip out of California since we moved here nearly 2 years ago. California is BIG so even as we've traveled hundreds and hundreds of miles over the past 2 years, we were still in CA. Quite different than the east coast where a 1 hour drive can take you through 3 different states
Read MoreHere it is June already, warmer weather in many places, not exactly warm here in SF (65° + blustery Pacific winds = cold) but no reason not to try out some frozen yogurt. I found a couple recipes, here and here, both of which referenced David Lebovitz Perfect Scoop book,
Read MoreThis is one of my favorite potato salads. I'm not sure where or when I started making it, but it definitely wasn't while I was growing up. My mom would make the traditional American potato salad which consisted of potatoes, hard-boiled egg, mayonnaise, onion and salt and pepper. That was it. And that's what I knew of potato salad as a kid.
Read MoreThis is one of my favorite side dishes. I just love these little veggie patties. I discovered it on Bea's site a while back and always make it when we have some zucchini and sweet potato on hand. I once made it with white potato but it wasn't quite the same.
Read MoreFlageolet beans! I was so excited to find these, I was away last week at a Cooper UX Design Bootcamp up in Petaluma (on a farm!) where we worked on a real world project for Fair Trade USA, it was an amazing experience, very intense and I learned a great deal about
Read MoreWaste not want not? What does that mean? All I know is I have a lot of buttermilk on hand and it must be used! As I was saying earlier from the baked egg recipe buttermilk is unique to our refrigerator, so I wanted to take advantage of this obscure ingredient.
Read MoreLet me start with New York City. East Village. Sunday. Brunch. Five Points Restaurant. Delicious. I still miss that place. New York has that way about it, if you've ever lived there there is always something you will miss about it, even though you're glad you've left. The city gets under your skin in good ways and bad, but probably both which makes it all the more mystifying. But all is not lost because I was able to locate the Five Points Brunch cookbook!
Read MoreLately I'm finding myself interested in trying new grains, like black rice for this salad, it's something I probably had in a restaurant before but never thought to make myself, well those days are over. And I'm happy for it. And maybe a bit healthier? Black rice is high in iron and very nutritious, rivaling blueberries with antioxidants. And it tastes really good!
Read MoreI really love this soup. We made it quite a while ago when Bea's book "La Tartine Gourmande: Recipes for an Inspired Life" first came out. I've had vegetarian soups before that were ok but not great, and this one is quite tasty so it was not forgotten.
Read MoreLast week I made zucchini fries, for which there is no recipe posted at the moment because the photos did not look so pretty, but I know I will make it again in the next few days, they are that good. But one of the best aspects of that recipe was the panko breadcrumb and parmesan mixture, so when I spotted this recipe for butternut squash I had a feeling it would work, and it does, a very tasty side dish.
