Fresh corn soup pureed until creamy (but not strained!), and then topped with toasted pumpkin seeds, a drizzle of good EVOO, and chopped fresh parsley.

Cook the Book: 'The Barcelona Cookbook'

My first experience was a tapas restaurant in San Francisco for a friend's birthday. Because we were such a big group, we ordered everything on the menu - giving me a great introduction to the cuisine!

Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'

The vegan burrito from Donna's Tamales at the Ferry Plaza Farmers Market (Tuesdays) in San Francisco. It tastes like Thanksgiving dinner in a whole wheat tortilla - I'm by no means a vegan, but every time I eat the burrito I feel perfectly sated.

Cook the Book: 'Ten'

When I was doing research in the Amazon, I had the most incredible craving for chocolate. I nabbed a chocolate bar once, only to find that it was unsweetened. Soo I'm ashamed to say that I melted the bar in a tin cup held over a candle, stirred in some passionfruit (only sweetener we had!) and scooped it up with a banana. Best chocolate I ever ate?!
