for a spark. Something very old and new at the same time. It’s out there in the places where light filters into the deep rain forest, in the villages where sauces of poverty sustain a people as old as the clay and river which...

technique. Same goes for my carbon steel pans and wok. I cook on a gas range and I barbecue with charcoal. Last year I wandered into a kitchen store and picked up this gorgeous 12" Calaphon 1 sauté pan. It had heft, style and...

I’m pretty sure that any swordfish Oliveto uses is not endangered. Oliveto works w/ Monterey Fish, who are pretty savvy on these issues. http://www.montereyfish.com/sustainability.htm

percentages of historical levels. It would be better for us to leave much of the seafood in the Chesapeake and consume sustainable caught fish from other waters where the fisheries re in better shape. But do support the...

for a little A-5 Kobe sushi? It’s a LOT more sustainable than equal quality tuna! '-)

friends have mentioned are: Campanile, The Foundry, Charcoal, Father’s Office, Fraiche, Robata Bar, Angelini Osteria, or Holy Cow India Express... Any thoughts on these places or recs for other places we should check out....

LIGHTLY coat your piece with oil or shortening and USE...YOUR...GRILLL...OUTSIDE (charcoal or gas, hardly makes a difference)

nicely dark brown & grill-marked. Then move off direct heat & let the steak roast until the thickest interior is 120 degrees. (I like to throw some wood chips over on the charcoal side for this part). Let rest for 5 minutes or so...

by those that want to profit from the Slow Food movement, set the philosophical construct back many years. Instead it was a fetid, commercially crass attempt to use the goodness of sustainable food to turn a quick buck. I thought...

I think there’s too much emphasis on the pizza aspect of Franny’s. Sure, they bill themselves as a bar/pizza joint. But, they also source meat, fish and vegetables from local and/or sustainable sources. Now, I know...

Most of Golden Gate’s products don’t fit CUESA’s mission of promoting a sustainable food system, but they do distribute some organic and free-range stuff.

the eyewall, never the eye, sustained winds 95 plus. All the old oak trees were down, no water 7 days, phone 10 days, power 2 weeks. Did not miss the phone at all. It’s 95 degrees the next day, and cold drinks are wonderful...

a temperature as a home broiler can sustain, approxamately 550. Ideally you should preheat the broiling pan as well, but this is impractical unless the pan is cast iron. A ridged cast iron pan is ideal for this. The use of tongs...

remember surfing online and reading about the fat in grass-fed animals having a lower melting point ... whatever ... My results: I’ve done the steaks three times, on my Weber over charcoal, and dammit it’s true, they...

from them. You mentioned extremely high temperatures. I’m not sure what type of cooking method they use. There are many ways to get the job done. Do they use charcoal? When were you last there? Have you had their...
