San Francisco, California

The City by the Bay may be the mecca for devotees of California cuisine, if you discount the fact that Chez Panisse, Alice Water’s legendary bastion, is in Berkeley. Never mind. There are enough great restaurants in this town that you couldn’t eat in every one even if you dined out for a year. From the Ferry Terminal at the end of Market Street with its medley of food shops, restaurants, oyster bar, chi chi Saturday farmers’ market (the “real” one is the Allemany Farmers Market), and dynamite water views, to the myriad choices in every neighborhood, you won’t go hungry. Check out the Asian options, too. Chinatown’s dim sum palaces such as Hang Ah Tea House in Chinatown and Yank Sing in the Financial District are winners. Head to the Mission District for the best burritos and tacos at La Taqueria and don’t whine at the line. Your wait will be rewarded with one bite of the pork tacos with guacamole. Fine dining is very fine at Aqua, Boulevard, Gary Danko, Masa’s, Millennium, Plumpjack, and Zuni Cafe.

Best Chocolate Chip Cookies

Reviewed on Aug. 28, 2008 by CookingMaMa08
I followed the reciped exactly, and my cookies turned out SO GOOD. Even my hubby who doesn't like cookies loves it. The cookies are still soft the next day. Since I can't bake the entire batch once, I put the leftover batter into a ziplock bag and freeze it. I hope it will still be good when I want to bake them again. THANK YOU!

Honey Baked Chicken II

Reviewed on Aug. 26, 2008 by MrsNueckel
I love this recipe for its ease of preparation and very good taste. My children ate it and said it was delicious chicken. Serve it with steamed rice and peas for a super easy dinner; any green vegetable will also work.

Easy Batter Fruit Cobbler

Reviewed on Aug. 25, 2008 by w
This isn't the tastiest cobbler I've had, but it was definitely the easiest! It was unbelievable how fast and easy this was. This recipe does create a nice crust on top and around the edges, but I think it was more like a bread pudding w/ large chunks of fruit than a true cobbler. While mine did not turn out greasy, I do think the butter can be halved. I made mine to fit a ceramic oval dish that's approx 9x13, so I sort of doubled the recipe to fit the dish. I had at least 4 cups of freshly picked organic nectarines from my friend's garden, and I literally eyeballed the batter to fit b/c I wanted more fruit than batter. I used whole wheat flour which usually requires more liquid than all-purpose flour, and it gave the cobbler a nutty taste which I really enjoyed. Otherwise I think the batter might have needed more spice since it's really only flavored with butter and sugar. Firm nectarines that are still tart are the best to use for baking, in my opinion. They turn out perfectly sweet, tender, and flavorful. Ripe nectarines tend to get way too soggy and syrupy sweet after baking, for my taste at least.
