He gives you plenty of ideas from which to become a voraciously eager eater of vegetables. But this is no vegetarian… Continue reading Plenty by Yotam Ottolenghi
When in SFO- Terminal 2 Restaurants
We’ve considered SFO Terminal 3 restaurant options for United flyers. Folks taking American Airlines or Virgin America are in for a welcoming treat that is SFO T2. Walking into Terminal 2, you might first note that the frenetic energy expected in airports is missing. The tall ceilings evoke something you might find in a cathedral.… Continue reading When in SFO- Terminal 2 Restaurants
When in SFO- Terminal 3 Restaurants
In my former life, I traveled a good bit. George Clooney’s character in the movie “In the Air” made me chuckle out of a knowing familiarity. Weaving his way through security, Clooney’s finesse resembled a steel ball shot through the shaft of a pinball machine. He coursed his way down the line, depositing toiletries, laptop… Continue reading When in SFO- Terminal 3 Restaurants
Never Sated: Dark Chocolate Food Memories
I distinctly recall a certain drawer my Dad kept that always drew my curiosity. He kept it closed and on the rare occasion when I glimpsed him open that and heard the wood scrape against wood, I might spy a sneak of silvered packaging or a bright color wrapping. He might pull out a bulbous… Continue reading Never Sated: Dark Chocolate Food Memories
Do the Work: the Art and Soul of Craft
We think it should come easily. If we have a talent or gift, somewhere along the way, we become convinced that that, in and of itself, is enough. We think that wanting to write is the same thing as the act itself. Somewhere we forget how the craft and the art are swallowed up by… Continue reading Do the Work: the Art and Soul of Craft
Hero Food Cookbook by Seamus Mullen
You might think Seamus Mullen’s new Hero Food cookbook is a health-centric cookbook from the press it’s been receiving. It’s true, he writes a whole chapter on his hero food, parsley and waxes poetic about the benefits he finds from his daily drink of Parsley Juice (p. 155), but don’t be deceived. “Hero Food” may talk about… Continue reading Hero Food Cookbook by Seamus Mullen
Green Tea Coconut Rice
I’m a bit obsessed with Matcha green tea. Maybe it has something to do with the bright grassy flavor that almost makes the mouth pucker. Perhaps it’s because with Matcha, you drink the entire tea leaf, not leaves infused in hot water and then removed. It could be the disarmingly green color and hear me… Continue reading Green Tea Coconut Rice

Memorial
May his memory be a blessing. In my heart, a yahrzeit candle burns, two years later. You go to bury the dead. You put something dead into a still living soil. And what if you planted something real and still waiting for its blooming- What if you look for a way to keep the memorial… Continue reading Memorial
Cooking with Tea
Green Tea Granola- it’s not exactly what you might think of when cooking with tea. Cooking with tea might conjure up thoughts and notions of Tea Smoked Duck. While I’m a fan of this delicacy, there are so many other variations of how to cook with tea. Robert Wemischner wrote a cookbook on it that… Continue reading Cooking with Tea
Green Tea Granola
This past Saturday, early in the morning, we decked out tables with pink and coral tablecloths in front of Noe Valley Pets and nearby Omnivore Books. As San Francisco food bloggers arrived with their freshly baked goods, we assembled them into categories by price and hugged the participating bakers or in my case tackled them… Continue reading Green Tea Granola
