there's nothing like the Berkeley Bowl. Recently, while in the check-out line, I heard about the woman behind me's sciatica, droopy skin, cheating boyfriend, and recent AA meeting.

Cook the Book: 'The Glorious Pasta of Italy'

one of my favorites is summer heirloom tomatoes, cut into chunks, put into a bowl with olive oil and one chopped clove of garlic, basil leaves, and fresh mozzarella. add hot pasta, toss, add salt and pepper. Perfection in a bowl.

Cook the Book: 'Purple Citrus & Sweet Perfume'

I recently had the good fortune of eating at the restaurant Diana, in Nazareth, Israel. One of the best middle eastern meals I've ever had. So many salads to start, and then the most delicious lamb.

Cook the Book: 'The Butcher's Guide to Well-Raised Meat'

I always ask restaurants where their meat comes from, and if I'm not satisfied with the answer, I go vegetarian. Since I was vegetarian for 20 years, I don't mind doing this, in fact, it's the only way I'll eat meat.

Cook the Book: 'In the Small Kitchen'

it was in college, I guess, in an on campus apartment. The fire department once came after my roommate was making felafel and started a grease fire. The fire was out by the time they arrived, and boy did we feel dumb.

Cook the Book: 'Plenty'

I love the "calamari" at Millenium in SF, which are actually made out of mushrooms but treated like calamari. The veggie burger with beets and lentils at the Plant cafe is pretty damn good, too.

Stories of Astonishing Food Ignorance

I attended a cooking school with a healthy, organic focus. One day we were working together as a team, and a classmate was staring at the measuring spoon. When I asked what was wrong, she said, "The recipe calls for 3/4 of a teaspoon, and there isn't one." When I explained that she could use the 1/4 teaspoon three times, or use the 1/2 teaspoon and the 1/4 teaspoon, or just use the one teaspoon, and not fill it up all the way, she gave me a blank stare and said "How did you know that?" Uh, third grade math?
