I used to say that there is no such thing as too much garlic. I would push the envelope of how much I can use, sometimes quadrupling the amount the recipe called for. Then one night Kevin and his brother prepared a batch of fresh basil pesto. In a bit of arrogance, they added something close to 20 raw cloves. It smelled heavenly, but after just a few bites burned their way down my esophagus I ...
Foto Friday | Sunset Over Cape May, NJ
Cape May, NJ is a nice enough town. It is filled with palatial Victorian resort homes turned B+B's, a historic downtown, and a narrow boardwalk with the beach side of the street, mostly undeveloped -- except for a few quirky old shops and arcades.

Flavor Tripping on Miracle Fruit
A few months ago, I was scanning my social media feeds and a blog post titled WTF: Miracle Berries caught my eye. I thought of a small manila envelope that has been gathering dust on the kitchen counter for the past (no joke) five years.

Inspired by my friend's recent article on the best macarons in San Francisco, I thought I'd bring these three things together and invite you along as we sample some of these and other sweet treats that local cooks are ...
Kid-Friendly Restaurants in San Francisco
Traveling to San Francisco with kids? A few days ago I got a question from a woman planning a family trip. She asked if I could recommend any kid friendly restaurants in San Francisco. I haven't done much sit-down dining in San Francisco recently (our friends there keep moving to other parts of the Bay Area -- I'm looking at you, Oakland!), so I asked our friends on Facebook to share their ...
