I don’t make it over to Silver Lake / Echo Park much anymore – it lost some of its allure once it got too trendy to find parking. But I’ve had it in mind lately to make a field trip to the new Lot 1 restaurant ever since I got a rave recommendation [...]

Goodbye Donna Deane…
Posted in Donna Deane, Food, Los Angeles Times, POST, Recipes, Sam Zell on July 29, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
She had the job I always wanted, as head of the Los Angeles Time’s test kitchen. But to tell the truth, I don’t think I would have had the stamina and savvy she’s shown over the last 28 years. Every week, for as long as I ‘ve been reading the L.A. Times Food section, [...]

Now that I’ve put Scrabulous in its place, I can get to the posts I wanted to write at the end of last year.
My top reads of 2007:
The books that moved me the most this year are ones that took me to a contemporary place revealing a world previously unknown to me.
In Martin Amis’s House [...]
Soup weather in Los Angeles!
Posted in Farmers' Market, Food, Judy Rodgers, Los Angeles, POST, Recipes, Ribollita, River Cafe Cookbook, Zuni Cafe Cookbook, cavolo nero, cranberry beans on November 12, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
After weeks of hot winds, fires, and relentless sunshine (in L.A. there can be such a thing) it is cold enough today to turn the heater on. This is in addition to the extra layers of clothing and the warm slippers.
Finally the weather cooperates with my favorite convergence at the Farmers’ Market: fresh cranberry beans [...]
Becks and Posh! Posh and Becks!

Girlfriend looks as though she could use some dinner. I wonder if she would need to book a month in advance to get into Pizzeria Mozza the way I did. Pizzeria Mozza, in case you’ve been too busy analyzing the war in Iraq or something is the lovechild of L.A. foodie darling Nancy Silverton and [...]
Gotta love San Francisco…

Where else can you get slow, organic, artisanal ice cream with Rechutti fleur de sel chunks for just $8 a pint?
I was there to see the Vivienne Westwood exhibit at the DeYoung Museum before it came down,and to celebrate my friend Bruce’s birthday. I stayed at the Mosser downtown, did a bit of shopping, got [...]
Peonies, Parsons, Springtime at the Sunday Market
Posted in Farmers' Market, Los Angeles, POST, Peonies, Recipes, Russ Parsons, Sustainable farming on June 3, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
It’s Sunday and spring has officially arrived at the market. Perhaps even more than for the cherries and apricots, I get there early to grab a few fragrant bunches of peonies from Ha’s Farm. Peonies are very expensive in Southern California. They require a hard freeze in the winter so they are scarce. [...]
Lounge preferences among apartment dwellers in Marina Del Rey
Posted in Amy Scattergood's Pavlova, Los Angeles, POST, Recipes on May 29, 2007 | Leave a Comment »
Leslie has a high rise apartment overlooking the Marina and fun friends, so her parties are always worth making the trek down the 405. She invited a group over on Memorial Day to lounge on her patio overlooking the Marina, and then lounge by the pool, and then lounge some more on the [...]
