About

This blog is a bit schizophrenic.  One focus area: My favorite ingredients from local farmers markets on the San Francisco Peninsula and (sometimes) the farmers who grow them. “How should I cook/prepare this?” is a common refrain I hear constantly at farmers markets (while the poor farmers are just trying to help their next customer) so I’ve got some answers here.

I’m also a restaurant critic, so I’ve put some recent reviews here.  And I like to mouth off occasionally, of course.  Isn’t that what blogs are for?  Anyway, this is a hodge podge of foodie stuff.  If life were perfect, this blog would deliver some useful (and ultimately delicious) info while getting a dialogue going with those of like mind.  Or not.

For more info on the recipes on this blog and my cooking philosophy, plus a great illustration by artist Delana Bettoli, see “About the recipes found here.”
