Lovin spring on the left coast! Sunshine and seedilings will soon be bringing on more fresh, local produce! For now the greens and spinach are fresh and tender along with asparagus and strawberries. The rest of the nation will be catching up with us as soon as they thaw out.

Many people who cooked their way through the calendar last year have asked me for more recipes. Sorry no calendar for 2008. I'm still working on publishing a cookbook and honing my food photography skills. SO, until I get that nailed down, I'll aim to post a recipe a month on the recipe page: Don't miss the additions of the Potato Artichoke cakes and Garbanzo Bean & Garlic Soup with Lemon and Tahini recipe
