		<description><![CDATA[What to do when a neighbor leaves a bag of Fuyu persimmons on your porch?  When firm, they&#8217;re great sliced in salads, for example, with baby arugula or fast pickled with carrots and daikon.  But when they get riper and softer, I love using them in cookies.  These have a little more persimmon pulp in it, making them chewy.  I almost always use the chubby Fuyu persimmons but I&#8217;m sure Hachiyas would work just as well.

Anderson Valley
Anderson Valley is about 2 1/2 hours from San Francisco via Highway 101 north to Highway 128 which meanders northwest along the Navarro River through spectacular redwoods to the coast.  The 27 wineries are easy to visit being concentrated on either side of the highway from Booneville to Navarro.  The list of wineries and map are located on the Anderson Valley Winegrower&#8217;s website at www.avwines.com
A good time to visit Anderson ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Imagine an exciting Los Angeles town that by the 1920&#8242;s, was home to three major motion picture studios, famous screen actors and musicians and a thriving nightclub scene.  It&#8217;s not the Hollywood most people think about, but West LA&#8217;s Culver City is where it all began.  It&#8217;s a pocket town sometimes overwhelmed by LA&#8217;s other neighborhoods &#8211; flashy Marina del Rey, tony Brentwood, funky Venice and chic West Hollywood.  But Culver City has a self-confidence all its own born in a rich and authentic Hollywood past.

		<description><![CDATA[&#160;
Appreciation of great wines deepens with positive memories of visiting the place of origin and soaking up the history and culture, the landscapes and most of all, tasting the food and wines at the source.  In a great wine capital like the Napa Valley, with wineries and restaurants lining its straight, flat roads, visiting the region is an easy thing to do.  In the historic city of Porto and the Douro Valley, it hasn&#8217;t been quite as convenient to get the full experience; after all, the majority of quintas and ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When immigrant Jacob Schram searched the relatively virgin Napa Valley in the early 1860’s to plant vines, he searched for steep hillsides that he knew from his youth growing up near the Rhine River would yield the highest quality grapes.  He found his vineyard site in the foothills south of Calistoga.  The wines of Schramsberg would achieve such renown for their quality that author Robert Louis Stevenson was inspired to declare on the veranda of Schram’s home that “wine is bottled poetry.”  After Jacob Schram&#8217;s death in 1905, the estate ...]]></description>

Ubuntu Executive Chef Aaron London learned about his James Beard nomination for Rising Star Chef, not from a phone call, but on Twitter – nine simultaneous tweets from friends.  This young 27-year old CIA Hyde Park alumnus already has back-to-back Michelin stars for Ubuntu Restaurant under his belt, and several years working at renowned restaurants in France, Canada and the U.S. including Daniel and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York, but he has only just begun.

		<description><![CDATA[My motto is &#8220;discover the world and savor the classics.&#8221;  But when it comes to learning about wine, I believe in starting with the classics, and that applies to wine regions, specific appellations and producers.  With Italian wines, it can be a daunting exercise simply because of the sheer numbers:  Twenty official wine regions, 370 controlled appellations (48 Denominazione di Origine Controllata e Garantita  and 322 Denominazione di Orgine Controllata), about 2,000 grape varieties of which most are indigenous to Italy, and a span of vineyards covering over 1.75 million ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Often compared to San Francisco without the fog, just halfway through my trip, I realized that San Francisco was really Melbourne with fog.  The southern port city of Melbourne has grown to become Australia’s food and wine capital, drawing on the abundant local produce and seafood, an ethnically diverse population and wine regions that are less than an hour’s drive away.
From the original British settlers in the 1830’s, Melbourne became a haven for immigrants from Europe and the Middle East post WWII, and then Asia in the 1960’s under skilled ...]]></description>
