		<title>Cookbook overload</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When my friend and neighbor Naomi Fiss came over to shoot my cookbooks for an article in Edible San Francisco close to two years ago, she had plenty of material to choose from (including this lovely shot she did of a set of Time Life cookbooks I assembled over years of buying one here and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Onions and poppyseeds</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It seemed a bit insane that I had never posted about bialys, but when I put that little ditty up about buttermilk scones last week it came to my attention that for all the doughnuts that have appeared on this site, bialys were never even mentioned. Let&#8217;s fix that. Bialys are, many people say, like [...]]]></description>

		<title>Buttermilk scones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[To start the new year right, I had made a batch of homemade doughnuts for my son and then a pile of bialys for my dashing husband. A few days passed and I thought &#8220;what about me and my special breakfast treat&#8221;? I thought about making English muffins or just some delicious walnut bread to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marmalade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My dad is officially impossible to shop for. He has plenty of interests that require plenty of stuff, but he outfits himself as needed. And for all his love of golf and skiing and fishing and duck and pheasant hunting and bridge, he isn&#8217;t someone who wants objects branded with those interests. No funny t-shirts.

		<title>Spicy rémoulade</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have a pretty clear Christmas Eve tradition at my parents&#8217; house. Those who go to church go to a 4 o&#8217;clock service and sing about the Baby Jesus, we re-convene at some time between 5 and 6, drink champagne or whiskey, depending on our taste, and eat various seafood-y appetizer-y things for dinner in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy 2012</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We bucked tradition this year. I usually cook up a pot of Hoppin&#8217; John and braise some cabbage on January 1. This year I made red beans and rice and braised some kale. I know, I know &#8211; when will the madness stop? My crew of two always compliments the Hoppin&#8217; John and eats the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fennel orange olive salad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It sounds sort of weird, but I really hope a big fat man in a red felt suit gave you everything you wished for this weekend. I am a happy girl, surrounded by family and friends. I could complain, because I&#8217;m quite good at complaining, but I won&#8217;t. I don&#8217;t dare. I&#8217;m too lucky with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cranberry cordial</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ask and you shall receive. I&#8217;ve finally posted my famous recipe for cranberry cordial, a homemade cranberry liqueur I&#8217;ve referenced and teased you with for years now. My secret is out. Everyone I&#8217;ve ever given it to can now see how lazy I am – making a big deal about this easy-as-pie concoction. Serve it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pecan cacao nib cookies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Have you noticed that I don&#8217;t post a ton of sweets here? I&#8217;m not a real dessert-y sort of gal. A bite or two of whatever usually does it for me, much to my son&#8217;s chagrin. The poor thing has taken to lapping up a spoonful of honey for dessert more than once while pulling [...]]]></description>

		<title>Elizabeth David&#8217;s ragù sauce</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was recently asked to attend a cookbook club. Members all cook a recipe from a book, get together to eat the results, and discuss the book and whatnot. I can attest that it is a delightful way to wile away a Saturday afternoon. The book for this gathering was Elizabeth David&#8217;s French Country Cooking. [...]]]></description>
