When I lived in San Francisco, the baking community was a very friendly group and we all mingled easily. One of the people who I particularly admired and liked was Emily Luchetti , who was also a pastry chef and cookbook author. Her desserts were known for their stunning simplicity, which highlighted bold flavors as well as local ingredients, and whose recipes walked a balance between home-style and sophisticated. And even more importantly, she tends to like two of my favorite things – chocolate and caramel – and she uses them frequently. Emily’s newest book is The Fearless Baker , a book of 175 easy-to-make desserts that won’t intimidate anyone. http://www.davidlebovitz.com/

I think we've discussed this before. My friend Malinda has a real knack for making salads. Remember the shaved fennel beauty in Super Natural Every Day? That was hers. We were at her house for dinner the other night and she made a broccolini salad I parked just to the right of my wine glass. Must have had three servings.

http://www.justhungry.com/ I am back home from New York now, after my father’s memorial service last Sunday and an all-too-short Itoh sisters’ reunion. We got home late last afternoon, glad to be back, very tired after a long flight followed by a short one and a 2 plus hour drive.

http://justbento.com/ In case you don’t follow the sister site, Just Hungry , last week we got home from attending my father’s memorial service in New York to find out we had been burgled in our absence . Among other things, they took most of our ‘temporary’ kitchen equipment (we are still in the middle of renovations…) including the working hotplate, the microwave oven (which was also a convection oven…so handy), not to mention my food processor, KitchenAid mixer, even my stick blender. continue reading...
http://www.closetcooking.com/ Mothers Day is right around the corner and it is the perfect time to show mom that you care by making her a home cooked meal or better yet, by cooking for her all day. Let mom sleep in in the morning and when she gets up, serve her breakfast or brunch in bed and then later on in the day impress her with a tasty dinner and a decadent dessert. If you don't cook, don't worry as many of these recipes are easy to make and you do not need to be a kitchen wizard to make them!
