Whole Wheat Focaccia

Tuesday, June 17. 2008

This recipe was adapted from Sundays at Moosewoodwith a bunch of my own changes, particularly to include even more whole wheat flour. It's amazingly tasty and easy, and people who tell you they don't like whole wheat bread will gobble it up.

Dia De Portugal, this weekend

Monday, June 9. 2008

Continuing the Bay Area's ethnic festival list is the Dia De Portugal festival in San Jose this weekend. I think this one is #1 for the best ethnic food at the most economical prices. Plus, you can visit San Jose History Park while you're there.

Norway Day this weekend

Monday, April 28. 2008

Just a quick notice: the 16th Norway Day food & culture festival is this weekend, which officially opens the season of summer food festivals in San Francisco. While not equal to the Russian, Armenian or Greek festivals for breadth of food, what they do have (open sandwiches, cheese, and of course waffles with cream and jam) is very good and cheap. You can also sample aquavit.

The best part, though, is the cooking demonstrations they have throughout the day, especially rummengrut (butter curds).

Brazilian Pizza

Sunday, April 27. 2008

You might not think of pizza as Brazilian food, but Paulistas (people from Sao Paulo) eat more pizza than anyone in the world except New York. However, Brazil pizza is most definitely not New York Pizza.

The pizza at left is a good example; it's the Porto Alegre version of a "four seasons" pizza. Here the four quarters are: calabrese sausage, palmito (hearts of palm), corn, and banana. Yes, banana.

Beautiful Brazillian Food

Saturday, April 26. 2008

I just got back from my annual trip to Brazil, and was reminded how little most North Americans know about the food there.

First of all, it's delicious. Especially the fruit.

Second, there are as many regional cuisines in Brazil as there are in the US, and they're just as distinct. If you've been to a Brazilian restaurant, that means that you've sampled only one of the types of food Brazil has to offer. I've had the pleasure of sampling many more of them. Let's start with breakfast.
