1/4 bulb fennel
1 large radish
1/2 lb king crab
vanilla salt (recipe follows)
1 T bergamot olive oil
Dig the meat out of your king crab–it helps to have a thick wooden skewer handy to push stuff through. Shave the fennel into thin slices; if you have no way to do this, julienne it. Slice the radish very thinly [...]

This is a meal to be shared by two people, heavy on the greens, lighter on the wallet than would be otherwise. Last night we were both exhausted and wanted to eat at home (mostly for economical reasons) but I really wanted a great Friday night date dinner, so we grabbed a filet from Andronico’s [...]

Homemade Mini Apple Galletes
Great for breakfast or dessert served warm with ice cream, whipped cream, or custard. Makes four large personal apple galettes.
Use the recipe for crust on the Leek & Bacon Galette. These were so good my boyfriend actually thought it was dinner in its entirety (see the Napa Cabbage Salad I was busy making while these [...]
For his birthday, this evening I made:
- filet mignon with port reduction
- garlic-orange rainbow chard
- israeli couscous with cinnamon & laurel leaf
There is a love-hate relationship with Andronico’s markets that I’m sure many of you in the SF bay area can relate to. They have beautiful meat. They have beautiful almost everything, and everything costs [...]
We made our way up to Mendocino to meet a friend of mine and her extended family for Thanksgiving. The occasion called for some serious brevity as our setting was as such: two nights and one and a half days of smart, sharp, opinionated women (ages 13-60 something) and the sole male representative I brought [...]

I had put off starting the shipments because I was torn [...]
