From Barcelona with Love: A Fish Recipefeatured
As featured in Bay Area Bites, April 1, 2009.
During my junior year of college I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to study abroad. For a year I lived in the “fat city” of Bologna and discovered the joys of cooking (and stuffing myself silly). I also bought discount tickets to other European cities every chance I got.
One of those tickets happened to land me in the beautiful city of Barcelona, where art is life, dinner is grazing through tapas, and nightlife doesn’t get good ‘til 3 am.
I stayed with Emily, a friend from school also studying abroad, who lived with a senora named Palmira. Palmira was a sweetheart and on my first night in, made a lovely supper of fried fish, topped with toasted pine nuts and a shower of fresh parsley. It was light, crispy, and had a subtle splash of acidity.

Kumquat Vanilla Marmaladefeatured

Pickles: Slayer of Hangoversfeatured
As featured in Bay Area Bites, March 25, 2009.
From the sundrenched views of the brand spankin’ new enclosed heated patio, it looks like Pickles is settling in nicely after reopening about a month ago.
Located within a Clown burger’s throw of the Transamerica Pyramid, my sources tell me Pickles – previously known as Clown Alley – used to be the FiDi’s golden goose of hangover cures.
