I visit our daughter, Hatley Rose, in Washington, D.C. fairly regularly, so am learning her favorite restaurants and finding a few of my own. To read my latest thoughts, as published in the Davis Enterprise, press here.

For my I recently made my first Pavlova, tutored by my neighbor and part time Australian resident Jeanne Dayne. It turned out delicious.

A few weeks ago, Meera Klein, pictured left, came to visit me and cook with me in my kitchen. She is an amazing cook with a more amazing story, and an even greater talent for writing that story of life in India with recipes learned in her mother’s kitchen there. I hope you will take a moment to read my few words on her book in this Review: My Mother’s Kitchen. You’ll also find a recipe or two in that column that Meera graciously provided me with.

This is Chef Jany Gleize, at the Bonne Etape, in Chateau-Arnoux. I describe him and his garden, as well as my food adventure in my latest column in the Davis Enterprise about The Alpes-de-Hautes Provence. Read it. 

Here’s a story of my recent trip to Paris, day by day, as featured in the Davis Enterprise, From Paris, with love.  The photo to the left is a galette, a crepe made with buckwheat flour (sarrasin in French), as eaten at the Breizh Cafe in Le Marais, 3rd Arrondisement. Highly recommended. Next door they have a provisions shop. Get the salted butter.

Here’s my story as it appeared in the Davis Enterprise today — my first fish, my first time in Alaska. I want to join the Davis Flyfishers club, and practice on some local and lower 49 rivers before I return.

I loved a week long food adventure there. Read my column on it, as published in The Davis Enterprise.

I’ll be at the Tour de Cluck, a fundraiser for the Davis Farm to School which I cofounded. My coop is featured on the tour, one of about 20. If you already have your tickets for this Saturday, May 26 event, 10-2, I’ll look forward to seeing you. The event kicks off at the Davis Farmers Market at 9 am with a “Courage to Cluck” competition. I won’t be in it.

Spoke at their event at Mondavi Institute for Wine and Food Science last night. Good crowd, great topics, lots of enthusiasm for a better school lunch, with Davis as a model.
