Category: Food & Recipes

A look at local food discoveries, whether it’s a particular dish or an ingredient, often with one or more recipes.

February Fading

It’s time for that monthly extravaganza of photos that didn’t find a home in a post over the last weeks. Only not much of an extravaganza this month as there are only four photos outstanding – not counting a few I took of buildings wistfully thinking it might be nice to move into a house… Read More February Fading

The Great Sandwich Hunt 8

The sandwiches, they go on and on and on and on. Picking up from our last round of five contenders, the pickings are getting slimmer. I think. Maybe. We’ll see. Now that’s a lovely thing, isn’t it? Even if it is on white bread and too much of it and it should have been toasted.… Read More The Great Sandwich Hunt 8

Oh the Chickens We Will Eat

Checking in on last week’s dinners including a private party celebrating the birthday of a recent (December) customer with a group of her friends. We also had a nice mix of folk from all parts of the world over last week. Our little “where from?” map is filling in for the month of February. The… Read More Oh the Chickens We Will Eat

Dinner in Yellow

Although it wasn’t intentional, looking at the photos from last week’s dinners it seems I was on a yellow kick. Maybe I was low on Vitamin A or something and my subconscious was crying out for attention. Now, last week I mentioned that I was going to try a new technique or ingredient each week,… Read More Dinner in Yellow

My Top in BA. For the Moment.

It’s an ever changing thing to answer the question, “What’s your favorite… X?” It’s also probably the most common question I get asked both by e-mail and in person by guests at Casa S. Recently, luxury travel magazine The Address asked me the same and gave me a whole bunch of pages to answer the… Read More My Top in BA. For the Moment.

On Cauliflower Steaks and Pork Loins

Wow, another week has passed and I’ve had zero time to spend writing. That’s not true at all, actually, I finished off the final draft of one of two books in the works – this week I’m just doing a few minor edits that have already been suggested – and then, on to the second… Read More On Cauliflower Steaks and Pork Loins

Summer and Smoke

“ALMA: I don’t think I will be able to get through the summer. JOHN: You’ll get through it, Miss Alma. ALMA: How? JOHN: One day will come after another and one night will come after another till sooner or later the summer will be all through with, and then it will be fall, and you… Read More Summer and Smoke

January’s Passing

Pretty slim pickings on the leftover photos from January. First off, a new little project that, at least for the moment, I’m having fun with. I get asked all the time where our guests at Casa S come from, so I started actually keeping track. And while it doesn’t indicate percentages, I’ve started posting a… Read More January’s Passing
