Cinco de Mayo Giveaway: And the Winner is…featured
…Daniela!! Congratulations 🙂 Celebrate with extra gusto today, you just won yourself a limited edition Fiesta Flavors Flight from Devil in an Apron!
In Mexico, the Fifth of May commemorates the Mexican army’s unlikely defeat of French forces at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862 when they were outnumbered two-to-one. The underdogs defeated a much better-equipped French army that had been undefeated for almost 50 years (thank you, Wikipedia).
Cinco de Mayo: A celebration of Mexican heritage…an excuse to get sauced on a weeknight…and apparently, the inspiration behind creative delights like Tequila Lime Caramels and Avocado Marshmallows.
Salut!

Mushroom 500 Flatbreadfeatured
As featured in Bay Area Bites, April 28, 2009.
Every once in awhile I will dine out and happen upon a dish that is so good I spend the entire evening scheming about how I can recreate it at home. Coco500’s truffled mushroom flatbread with sea salt and chili is one of them. It is the perfect bite of crispy flatbread, earthy, robust mushroom, and salty parmigiano.
I knew it would be hard to fully recreate the experience — so much of it is in the flatbread — but I knew I could come close, and while I would love nothing more than to jaunt off to Coco500 every time I have a hankering, this is much easier.
