My experience at Artisanal LA: a recent local food festival in Downtown Los Angeles.


For the recent season finale, I cooked up a Mad Men inspired feast. I say "inspired" because most of the 1960s food depicted on the show isn't exactly suited for the 2010 foodie. So I made a modern steak and martini dinner, starting with 100% grass-fed rib steak served bloody rare with roasted baby heirloom tomatoes.


I got to attend a fancy party for Los Angeles Bloggers at the historic Yamashiro Restaurant in the Hollywood Hills.


A unique experience in Los Angeles' most trendy and popular "pop-up" restaurant.


A five hour outdoor dinner party tasting unique honeys from around the world paired with honey themed small plates. My most epic dinner party to date...


My first experience at an underground supper club that serves sustainable, organic, local and ethical foods.


I had been talking about a trip to Pizzeria Bianco for nearly two years. A six hour drive and 3 hour wait for pizza. Was it worth it? Yes!


The menu for my xmas 2009 dinner. Four courses for eight people. All produce and animal products were fresh from local farmer's markets.




My travels and eatings on the way to Maine for Thanksgiving.




Exploring flavors in artisan chocolate and honey... a different sort of Valentines Day Treat.


Some of the foods I made and ate over the 2008 holiday season along with a photo collage of 2008 in food.
