Manresa 320 Village Lane Los Gatos, CA 95030 I have been wanting to go to Manresa for ages. It seems like it’s harder to plan to go to a place just 20 minutes away over our lovely mountain highway than all the way up to San Francisco. I finally realized, Hey! there are hotels near…

The Slanted Door 1 Ferry Building #3 San Francisco, CA 94111 415-861-8032 I had a few errands to run in San Francisco. All food-related so it was worth the drive up. My first stop was Omnivore Books on Food to pick up my signed Alice Waters book that I wasn’t able to get signed in…

More experimenting with the CSA box contents! The one thing in the box that was a mystery to me, preparation-wise, was the 1/2 dozen rutabagas. I sent out a plea on twitter. I got a lot of good recipes. I decided though, being that I’d never made them before, I wanted to do something simple…
Truth be told, “again” and “recipe” don’t really go together in my house. The title quote is actually paraphrased from Neil Gaiman‘s Coraline—I’ve always liked that line. But this week I got my first CSA box and, since the point of signing up for the CSA was to force some variety in to my kitchen,…
Whatever shall I make this week!?!? So many yummy choices! Can’t wait to get cookin’: Sprouts ‘salad’ mix – sunflower, pea, buckwheat, broccoli and radish Fuji apples Artichokes Red beets Cabbage Carrots Rainbow chard Collard “rapini” Green garlic Red Russian kale Leeks French breakfast radishes Rutabagas Strawberries
I needed to cook as much produce as I could for dinner. I’m picking up my first CSA box today and it’s going to fill my fridge. I had a huge bag of spring onions from my dad’s garden and a head of napa cabbage that were taking up the most space. Pasta time!! 2…

This is an easy, quick, yummy meal for those days that are just screaming for barbecue. This recipe is for 2 people. 2 trout fillets, each about 1/2 lb 4T Green Peppercorns Olive oil Salt Crust the peppercorns with a mortar and pestle if you have one or zap them a few times in the…
Hana Japanese Restaurant 101 Golf Course Drive Rohnert Park, CA 707-586-0270 I found this restaurant purely by accident, chance, kismet, whatever you want to call it. I call it scrumptious fate! We were in the area and it was lunchtime. I don’t know anything around the north bay so I just searched on my phone…
The flowers are in bloom! Everything at the farmer’s market is so bright and vibrant now. The tulips showed up a couple of weeks ago… The asparagus is the first sign of the good things to come. They let me know that stone fruit is just around the corner. Soon Frog Hollow peaches and pluots…
I had some cod I picked up from the Farmer’s Market. It’s not rock cod, it’s a local Monterey Bay cod that is small and thin. The name has escaped me. But it’s a light, white fillet. This recipe serves 2. 3/4 lb white fish fillet 2T butter 2 garlic cloves, finely minced, mushed with…
