When those first really cold days of the season sneak up on you, it is a little hard to shake off the chill. I came up with this recipe after a full day at work wishing that I had worn wool socks and boots (instead of no socks and ballet flats) and a warm sweater [...]
Go ahead, say it: “Vichyssoise” – sounds fancy and French, I know – but for a fancy sounding soup, this one is perhaps the simplest recipe we’ve posted yet. When making Vichyssoise, there are basically 4 ingredients – if you don’t count the salt and pepper (white pepper in this case), plus the cooking process [...]
Stew is food for the soul, and that is exactly what I was after with this dish. I don’t make stew very often because it is so time consuming, and with life as hectic as it is, most of my cooking these days happens about thirty minutes before I am ready to eat. But tonight [...]
Clam chowder is a New England dish that has made a national debut. Even in July in San Diego, I would be willing to bet that you wouldn’t have to walk very far to find a seafood restaurant that serves clam chowder. Granted, you might not be treated to the same charming description of why [...]
Though I don’t watch the Food Network all that much (I tend to like the shows that get canceled, like ‘Molto Mario’). There is a show that I’ve been liking of late – Jamie Oliver’s ‘Jamie at Home’. The show involves Jamie at his awesome looking house, which is surrounded by gardens with vegetables growing [...]

I know, sounds sort of weird I thought too, but this spontaneous invention tasted absolutely delicious. Over the holidays, I was lucky enough to head back to San Francisco, my old stomping grounds. One night we ventured into the Mission neighborhood and had dinner with some of Aimee’s family at Frjtz. Frjtz is really a [...]
Few things in the culinary kingdom are better than mushrooms in my mind – especially when you slow cook them over low heat to get all of their moisture out and concentrate their flavor. Comforting to no end – especially when paired with a good salad and some bread to soak it all up. Trust [...]
Autumn is here, and for me, that means time for soup. I think soup gets a bad rap – people think about making the stuff and they immediately dismiss the idea as being too high maintenance, too much effort for a simple weeknight dinner. I’m here to try to break that stereotype. Soup is simple [...]
