Energized from yesterday’s change of heart, I kicked into high gear. Today was quite a ride. I can’t believe I did all the following in one day … but I did. It’s a testament to the chowconnaissance...

I saw a beautiful nectarine galette on Smitten Kitchen recently. I plan on making it with peaches. http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/08/nectarine-galette/

I am going to make this cake from smitten kitchen: http://smittenkitchen.com/2009/05/almond-raspberry-layer-cake/ it has almond paste in a white cake layer, raspberry jam and whipped chocolate ganache frosting. in light of trying...

Similarly, I have made this Olive and Artichoke Tapenade and it is so good. One thing I learned from the reviews was to add garlic, and I add more olives than called for. It is really delicious. I will now have to try smitten...

I realize this is probably a little late, but to me, mushrooms or onions are an obvious accompaniment to beef. Grilled baby bellas. Or, my favorite, the braised shallots from Smitten Kitchen. They are outrageous. Personally, I...

The Smitten Kitchen blog has a great new way to cook zucchini. You heat a couple tablespoons oil in a fry pan, then heat a couple tablespoons sliced almonds until starting to brown (watch like a hawk — that goes fast), then...

straightforward menu, but judging from our meal the folks in the kitchen take food very seriously. The cafe around the corner was very nice as well. The restaurant is located up on that bluff which they’ve designated a sort...
