We've been on a kitchen floor kick this week: First the cork, then a survey of what kind of floors you all have. But we've saved the prettiest for last. Read on for all kinds of painted floors,...
Have you ever had a cappuccino — of tomatoes? Here's a recipe that upends the traditional idea of a cappuccino and replaces it with tangy tomatoes and a froth of whipped mozzarella and cream. ...
I just love getting ikura sushi - those jewel-like, glistening orange balls of salty goodness are the eggs, or roe of salmon. They're delicious, sustainable, and economical. They also have a wonderf...
Q: The Tom Collins, John Collins, Gin Fizz, Sloe Gin Fizz, Ramos Gin Fizz - and Violet Fizz. They're all related. Do you know how?...
The banana split is such a classic summer dessert. We have fond childhood memories of soft bananas cradling scoops of ice cream topped with mounds of whipped cream and fudge sauce. And a few maraschin...
When I was little, my dad and I spent Sunday mornings on the Santa Monica beach. Before heading home we'd sometime hike up to the pier and buy a newspaper cone of freshly made potato chips from a litt...
Zucchini fries! How exciting is this?...
We are constantly bookmarking new recipes on the web, spotting new ingredients to try, and tearing articles out of magazines. Keeping all these bits and pieces organized is tough, but so many of progr...

We can't help it; we are total nerds for LEGO stuff. Remember this slightly goopy attempt at a LEGO birthday cake? And LEGO fosters that nerd-nostalgia for building blocks of youth with all the...
This is not tzatziki. We know it looks like tzatziki. And before you ask, "How many cucumber-yogurt sauces does one really need, anyway?" let us explain the difference......
The first time I had sea urchin (uni,) I gagged and spat it out. The texture and the taste of the sea were way too much for me. And then one day, I was flipping through my Nobu cookbook and came acr...
Last week's post on aguas frescas gave us a mean craving for Mexican-style horchata, a refreshing drink made with rice, cinnamon, and sugar. We decided to try making a batch at home and wound up makin...
When I first became serious about wine, I really noticed the difference that a good glass made to my appreciation of the wine. At that time the choice of wine glass was pretty polarized. Either...
In accordance with last night's Top Chef Masters events, we thought we'd share a recipe from Mr. Rick Bayless himself. This is one of our favorites and unlike his 27-ingredient Oaxacan Mole, this re...

While Elizabeth is head over heels for Bibb lettuce, we're nursing our own unexpected food crush...on cabbage. That's right, cabbage. It turns out that raw, shredded cabbage is good for way more than ...
Q: I have a dear friend who just turned 30 and I would love to make a birthday cake or cupcakes for her. But she is deathly allergic to dairy.
Other than boxed cake (yuck), could you recommend a nic...

Are you awash in pole beans, with nary a ripe tomato? Or perhaps you have a bumper crop of tomatoes and no zucchini this year. What if you could find a fellow gardener nearby who wanted to swap you so...

On Monday we showed you a kitchen with eco-friendly (not to mention leg muscle-friendly) cork floors. We're guessing, though, that most of you have something more traditional. We're curious what kind ...
Last week, we asked you which foods do you wish you liked more. The results were surprising! These are the foods that you've tried and just don't like, no matter what. Well, what foods did you once...
If you live in the Bay Area, put this cheese on your To Try list (much more enriching to follow than that nagging old To Do). The story behind the cheese and the people who make it ain't bad, either: ...
We like toast, it's a quick snack or even dinner sometimes. But our love for toast is matched by our hatred for cleaning fingerprints off the side of the toaster. That is, until we saw the n...

We all strive to eat more vegetables during our day-to-day adventures, but there's something slightly lackluster about opening your bag or container to find just six sad little carrot sticks. Dips ca...

For some of us, it's a nice slice of pie. For others, maybe a wedge of cheese or a cup of coffee does the trick. Whatever that "little something" is, our meal doesn't quite feel complete until we've h...
We love the classic look of black and white, diamond-patterned kitchen floors. They're very 1950s diner but can look clean and modern, too. Well, this is an eco-friendly riff on that idea, with sustai...
Got tomatoes? Lucky you! The Northeast's historic episode of tomato blight has left tomato-lovers in a sad state — no tomatoes from their own vines, and tomatoes extra-expensive at the ma...

Whether we're headed across campus for class or into the office for work, chances are that most of us have a travel mug of something caffeinated in our hands. Chances are even better that your beverag...
