• One of the Reasons I Love Napa

  There are dozens of reasons why I love living in Napa, almost none of them involving wine. My fellow Napans make great neighbors and when there's a call for a party, you know the food is going to be incredible.... Read More...

• Mermalada de Xoconostle

  The sour prickly pear known as xoconostle continues to take over the world as we know it with this new marmalade-style jam from my business partners (and good friends) at Xoxoc.

  It all starts -- literally -- with the egg -- this post, a life, my recent meal at Commis, a 10-month-old restaurant in Piedmont, Oakland. Read More...

• Snowcap Beans

  Finally, after several attempts, we have a good crop of the rather famous Snowcap bean. Not a lot, but enough to save some seed and offer the extra here. They're one of the prettiest beans of all, I must say!... Read More...

• The Epitome of Spring

  Okay, this is the last farmers' market post. At least for this week. I love rhubarb and look forward to it's springtime arrival every year. It's one of those things that you really don't see out of season. Cauliflower and radishes are both shipped in Read More...

• Baby Cauliflower

  My trip to the University District Farmers' Market also yielded a beautiful baby cauliflower. Over the last few years more of these little delicate heads have been showing up in the markets and I love it. I nearly always end up wasting part of the larger, Read More...

• Simply Delicious

  I haven't been to the University District Farmers' Market for quite some time. And I've missed it. But other obligations have been keeping me away. Today, I returned and what a perfect day to cruise around the booths savoring the first signs of spring! Read More...

• Hope Springs Eternal

  Hope springs eternal. I use that phrase a lot at this time of year but mostly in regards to baseball. Each year I believe my beloved Mariners will have the year they deserve. Last year they actually did what I'd hoped they do - win more than half their Read More... Posted Sunday, March 07, 2010 7:03 AM from Culinary Fool | 0 Comments Filed under: Ingredients

• Super Roll on the way to Super Bowl

  I admit that in many ways - okay, maybe in all ways - I've been a pretty slow adopter of social media. Which is a little odd considering that at times in my professional life (the job I get paid to do...) I've often been responsible for online communities Read More...

• Citrus Time

  I think I love the winter season citrus fruits nearly as much as the stone fruits of summer. While all citrus is in season right now, there's one special fruit that is showing up around town, Meyer lemons. I was just about to alert you that they are now Read More...

  I'm lucky enough to have a few friends who forage for wild mushrooms. They tell me this has been an incredible year for chantrelles and they seem to be right!
