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.

Maple Whole Wheat Bread

Reviewed on Jan. 5, 2009 by litgirl24
This was my first time making bread in my new breadmaker, and this recipe was a fantastic way to begin. Following reviewer, vo0do0's suggestion, I used 1/2 cup quick oats, 3/4 cup apple cider and 1/2 c water instead of 1 1/4 cups water; and, following reviewer, BrittBliss's suggestion, I used 1 cup of Bread Flour (to increase height), and 1- 1/2 cups Whole Wheat flour. I also used 6 Tablespoons of high grade Maple Syrup, and added 1/4 cup of ground flax seeds. The bread has a slightly crunchy and definitely chewy crust and is wonderfully soft and fluffy inside! Perfect for sandwiches, or toasted or even alone! I ate it toasted with an egg on top. Excellent - eggcellent ;) -! The apple cider made it sweeter, and added flavor so it's a savory sweet bread -- but not too sweet. Though, I imagine it'd be great for French Toast. It's an awesome recipe. Thank you, Envision, and other reviewers! :)

Chewy Peanut Butter Brownies

Reviewed on Jan. 4, 2009 by litgirl24
Must love peanut butter! If so, these are absolutely delicious (after cooling them completely -- I never like hot peanut butter, esp. as it tastes less sweet). These cookies are just divine! I used nearly all organic ingredients, including natural (no sugar or salt) organic peanut butter. Thanks to other reviewers' suggestions, I added 1 tsp vanilla and 1/3 cup (organic) semi-sweet chocolate chips, which added flavor and sweetness. All the brownies were gone in 2 days!

J.P.'s Big Daddy Biscuits

Reviewed on Jan. 2, 2009 by em2781
In a hurry I jotted down this recipe and made it without reading the reviews. What a mistake! For me 1 c. milk was way too much. The dough was way too fluid to knead, cut, or shape. I had to ladle it onto a baking sheet and pop it in the oven real quick. They did poof up alright and when I tasted them I understood the rave reviews because the flavor is quite good. I would just say to use less milk, or, as another reviewer mentioned, as much as you need only.
