Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
The second I saw the notice about this salt and chocolate event, I signed up. I think those two things work so magically well together, I even dreamed of them when I was pregnant with my son. That’s how I came to know about Recchiuti’s Fleur de Sel caramel chocolates. I had a dream about…
Lillian’s Italian Kitchen1116 Soquel AveSanta Cruz, CA 95062831-425-2288 You can’t throw something in Santa Cruz without hitting an Italian restaurant it seems. Ristorante Avanti, Lucio’s, Limoncello, La Posta, all favorites of mine. I was looking for a simple lunch today and remembered that Lillian’s was open for lunch so decided to finally check it out….
Contest is closed! I will begin cooking the recipes and announce the winner when I’ve tried them all. Thanks for playing!! In honor of FoodPorn.com’s 10 year anniversary (June 6th) I’m holding a recipe contest. Not just any recipe, you have to cook something I like. Here are my restrictions: No bell peppersNo beetsNo cheese…
There are not many things I believe in as strongly as good food. I believe in, whenever possible, eating locally and organically. I believe in slow food, McDonald’s goes against all my beliefs. My son calls it the “M place, pleh!” and knows we only go there to use the bathroom on road trips! I’m…
I was putting pictures of this dish on Twitter, but decided it was so good I needed to put a detailed recipe up. Take one can garbanzo beans, rinse, and stir in two or three tablespoons lemon juice, a minced garlic clove, and some good olive oil. Set that aside and let it marinate for…
Sushi Groove South1516 Folsom StSan Francisco, CA 94103415-503-1950 This is our new pre-Slim’s-show dinner. You could easily miss it if you don’t have the address and aren’t really looking for it. Just keep an eye out, you’ll find it. Slip past the thick curtain over the entry and excellent fish and sake awaits. Hamachi sashimi,…
Sushi Tomi Restaurant635 W Dana StMountain View, CA 94041650-968-3227 I discovered Sushitomi when I worked in Mountain View just a few blocks away. Unfortunately, I found it just a few weeks before our office moved to San Francisco. I had been on a search for good sushi in downtown Mountain View and had failed for…
Michael MinaWestin St. Francis335 Powell StSan Francisco, CA 94102415-397-9222 After the great meal we had at Michael Mina Vegas, knowing the San Francisco restaurant was rumored to be even better, I was very much looking forward to the meal. We decided before we even arrived that we would most likely do the seasonal tasting menu….
La Posta538 Seabright Ave.Santa Cruz, CA 95062831-457-2782 We had an excellent dinner tonight at La Posta. I’ve been meaning go there for ages and we finally made it down. My husband and son devoured the mixed salumi plate (everything on the plate was house-cured except for the imported prosciutto). I had the Baby mixed lettuces…
Aubergine RestaurantMonte Verde at SeventhCarmel-by-the-Sea, CA, 93921831-624-8578 This meal began brilliantly. We got the chef’s tasting menu with the wine pairing. We were brought an Amuse Bouche that was made with cauliflower and coriander seeds. I hate cauliflower and I ate every bit of this dish. The highlight of the evening for me was the…
Surprisingly, this large, layered tower remained upright long enough to take a picture and carry it to the table before it slowly got leany and eventually toppled. It’s a recipe loosely based on one from On the Line, Inside the World of Le Bernadin. I felt that I wouldn’t like certain aspects of the recipe…
I went to the store to get the ingredients for this great salmon recipe in my On the Line, Inside the World of Le Bernardin cookbook and, oddly, my fish monger had no salmon! So this went from a Le Bernadin recipe to a Le Bernadin-inspired recipe. This was night two of my exploration of…
This week’s farmer’s market tartare got a little help from my new purchase, On the Line, Inside the World of Le Bernardin. The recipe I went for first is Seared and Marinated Yellowfin Tuna Tartare “Sandwich” with Ginger Oil. It was good choice. It wasn’t far from my usual Wednesday tartare but improved just enough…
So, I’d a made my fish and couscous dish enough times now that I felt I needed to move on. I still bought some wonderful, local flounder at the farmers market and like the preparation of it dusted and semolina and pan fried but it needed to be reworked. I was losing interest. I picked…
Bella, an American Bistro 200 Lombard St. Philadelphia, PA 215-985-3222 I haven’t been here, I’ve actually never even been to Philadelphia. Before the bistro opened though, Ali (the owner) emailed me and she’s a sweetie! They’re also Slow Food members so it’s gotta be good! If you go, let me know how it was, I’ll…
