Redirecting Perverts to the Refrigerator Since 1999
I got beautiful ono from my H&H Fresh Fish CSA/CSF and it just made dinner easy. A simple salad with some grated carrot and a bit of cilantro. A dressing of lemon juice, a little orange juice, and a minced garlic clove, salt and good Stonehouse olive oil. I seared the fish with just a…
As usual, I didn’t actually measure everything when I made this so I’m guessing at weights and measures below. I wanted to make sure I didn’t forget about this dish though, it was really awesome. So I apologize, there’s quite a bit of vaguery and improv to this one. We had a bag of snow…
I haven’t been to Atalier Crenn yet. I have to admit, I’m a little intimidated by Dominique! I don’t know what it is but no matter how often people tell me she’s perfectly lovely, I feel like she’d totally kick my ass. BUT, I still want to eat her food, it looks amazing! We had…
It’s our annual tradition (17 years running) to head to the woods for Thanksgiving weekend and forage for something edible and tasty…preferably porcini but other edibles will do! We didn’t find a ton this year but enough for a nice, large, dinner when we got home. Since this drive takes us north of the Golden…
The first time we went to Coi in August was a romantic dinner for our 15th wedding anniversary. We were blown away, it was delicious. The GM, Zion, after we were apparently drunkenly bragging about how adventurous of an eater our 10 year old son is, said we should bring him, they would modify the…
My favorite Outstanding in the Field to attend is the Secret Sea Cove dinner. It’s a popular one. You have to be on it to get tickets and I was…right when they went on sale! The food is awesome of course, the people are really fun to chat and eat with but, for someone who…
We had our 15th wedding anniversary this year. Our 20th first date anniversary is on the same day….awwwwww! On our actually anniversary we were in Montana not-camping with our son (we got thunderstormed out of our camping adventure). But I had already planned a weekend in San Francisco to celebrate our milestone anniversary. The special…
1108 Pacific Ave Santa Cruz, CA 95060 (831) 824-6100 assembleforfood.com As soon as it was announced that Assembly was taking reservations, I consulted our calendar and booked. I figured on a Wednesday night, it would be a nice break from the weekly grind, I’d take a night off from cooking dinner, and it would be…
It’s fall! It’s butternut squash season! I’ve put the makeshift recipe on the site in the past. It is so easy and so good and so easy to scale up to 20 people! I also had just gotten 20 pounds of tomatoes so I made a gazpacho appetizer. All I did was throw tomatoes, basil,…
This was our third dinner at Manresa. Our first time in the summer. Oddly the other two times we went both fell in April, not sure why. This was the best meal of the three. I don’t know if it was because summer is just full of things I love or if David was just…
My CSA boxed has been transforming slowly from hearty greens and lettuces to, well, still hearty greens and lettuces but also strawberries and summer squashes. I don’t dislike zucchini but it’s not something I rush out to buy. I had it now though, and would make something delicious. It’s been hot and I had a…
This is my favorite OITF location. You can’t beat the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean and the sandstone cliffs forming the cove. The wind is a bit much but, being from the area, I knew and came prepared. Those who didn’t could borrow blankets which is an excellent plan. I brought many layers that I…
You know how I feel about Eric Ripert. He’s probably mentioned more on this site than any other chef. He and Anthony Bourdain came to San Jose on their Good vs. Evil tour and of course I had to go. Even though I had a feeling I’d already seen a lot of the material at…
Many moons ago I won a fundraising auction for a table for four at the as-yet-unopened Central Kitchen. We could be one of the first to dine there. I was very excited. I informed our friends of the wonderful news and we aligned calendars. That proved more challenging that we though but we eventually had…
Friday began just as it did last year. With the highly anticipated arrival of Jose Andres to his cooking demonstration at 10am. We just had a few bites of fruit for breakfast knowing we would be eating for hours. This may have been a slight mistake since the first thing Jose served was a drink….
