Junior’s Delicatessen has been one of my favorite Los Angeles deli’s since I first discovered it back in the late 80’s. They have endured 50 years at the same location on Westwood Boulevard in West Los Angeles, and with any luck they will be around for 50 more.
Everything on the menu [...]
It is amazing how a fantastic gem can hide right under your nose, undetected. For seven years I drove past the sign for
Udupi Palace and commented on the name in a bad Indian accent, without once thinking to stop in and check it out. How could I have been so clueless for so long? [...]
A couple weeks ago, Tony and I started a diet, eliminating gluten (mainly wheat and rye flours, and products containing such) and sugar. We still eat fruit, and certain sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, stevia, and agave. We are also attempting to eat six small meals a day, and follow the principles of food combining and the [...]
Last month, while thousands of people lined up hoping to receive “Great American Food” at nearby Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View only to be
tragically let down, I found myself craving a quintessentially iconic American food item that was not included on
the menu, which was put together by
Ed Levine of
Serious Eats.
For some reason, I just couldn’t get [...]
Marzipan Cherries at Miette

Hayes Valley.
I have been a fan of
Miette for a while [...]
It’s time again for
Serious Eats Weekend Cook and Tell. The theme this week is pasta married with seasonal produce, and was inspired by
this article in the SF Gate.
When this week’s challenge was announced last Wednesday, I was still raw, feeling disappointed and bitter about the
Prop 8 ruling. And so, I found myself [...]
Waiter There’s Something in My… Bistro Classic!
This month, the
“Waiter There’s Something in My…” event is hosted by
Johanna, The Passionate Cook. The theme is
Bistro Classics, and I couldn’t be more thrilled. I hope you enjoy my entry as much as I have enjoyed making and eating it.
I had been eager to recreate a [...]
If you, like myself, are a fan of
Impressionist art, you will find that once you are inside the
Musee D’Orsay you will most likely not want to leave the museum to eat, as the Musee D’Orsay has the largest selection of Impressionist
art in all of Paris, and you will want to save your hooves [...]

One of the greatest things about the food blogosphere, is the evolution of ideas as they funnel through the inspiration grapevine.
This recipe is a perfect example.
On May 1st (otherwise known as
Beltaine, or May Day for some of us),
David Lebovitz unveiled an unorthodox method of tart shell baking that he acquired from Madame
Paule [...]
