Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
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…
I have owed a recipe for this to many people for way too long. So finally here it is. It’s not very specific, it changes with the ingredients in the fridge and the garden, but this will give you the gist. First off, you need a pan that can go in the oven. Metal handle…
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 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…
Lalime’s 1329 Gilman St. Berkeley, CA 94706 510-527-9838 Lalime’s is a cozy, comfortable restaurant placed right in the middle of a residential area. We thought we were on the wrong street. It’s a small dining room in an old house that seats sixty and is bright and warm. We focused on the appetizers which isn’t…
537 Seabright Ave. Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-429-1856 The West coast just doesn’t really have good pizza…or I should say it didn’t. I’m a California girl, born and raised, but I’ve had pizza in New York and they know what’s up! I’ve settled for the left coast’s tries at pizza my whole life, therefore I’ve…
Aqua 252 California Street San Francisco, CA 94111 415-956-9662 First off, don’t go to Aqua on a Friday night, especially if you don’t know San Francisco well enough to maneuver through side streets. Traffic was just atrocious! And I’m guessing that if you go on a weeknight it won’t be as crowded and loud in…
French Laundry 6640 Washington Street Yountville, Ca 94599 March 9, 2003 It seems just silly to call this a review. Of Course the meal was fabulous! And there was no doubt it would be. This is a record of our experience as well as our meal that exceeded my already HIGH expectations. This journey began…
Oswald 121 Soquel Avenue Santa Cruz, CA 95060 831-423-7427 This is where my husband and I go for our “dates” but this time we had company…we can sample more that way! Oswald is small, relaxed (not uptight in the least) and serves phenomenal food. This visit was not a disappointment. We had to wait for…
(serves 2) Clean 20 clams (or however many you want each) Put them in a pan with lemon juice, maybe a little white vinegar (optional) and a enough white wine to almost cover clams (about 1/2 way is fine) Cover and cook over medium heat until all the little guys open fully (don’t eat if…

Neil and Chantrelle When Neil Gaiman was on tour for American Gods last year, I caught up with him at TechTV in San Francisco. We made a “date” to have sushi when he returned to the Bay Area. On July 2nd this year, Neil read his new book, Coraline, to a captivated Berkeley audience, all…
Alton Brown Barnes & Noble San Jose, CA June 15, 2002, 3pm The bookstore was PACKED by the time I got there…I knew my little clique of friends like Alton, but I didn’t realize there were soooo many fans! I got a spot towards the back where I could see but my camera didn’t have…
