I love to cook.  More than that, I love to eat.  So its very easy to make the jump of combining the two loves into one big fat delicious LOVE.  Here you will find some great recipes for dishes like Steamed Mussels, Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic, Pumpkin Soup, Roasted Fennel with Anchovies and Sambucca, Blueberry Pancakes.  You get the picture, good stuff!  You can post a recipe too and together we can be chefs of the city (or the country if that is where you live).  Also, I'll be telling you about some of my favorite restaurants around town.  So enjoy!

Friday morning at the Farmers Market

I love farmers markets.  I visit them as often as possible because really, what is better than fresh ingredients if you want to create a really good, wholesome meal?  Not only that, they're fun!  And in The City, there's a lot of them to be found.  I know many restaurants who's chefs plan their specials around what is in season that they find at the farmers market.  In my little burb they have a fish vendor that supplies fresh fish to some of the finest restaurants in the city.  Pacific salmon, blue fin tuna, chilean sea bass and fresh mussels and clams.  And their prices are so good!  I've been buying fish from them for years and its quite the best kept secret.  Here's their link.   http://www.yelp.com/biz/dry-dock-fish-co-fullerton So every friday morning in Whittier I peruse the farmers market to pick up what I will have on my 'menu' for the weekend.  Or I may go to the Yorba Linda one on Sat. morning or the great market on Sundays at Belmount Shores.  If I feel real adventurous I'll go to the grandaddy of them all, the farmers market on Farfax in LA.  If you really want to make something good, and you take pride in what you prepare, check out your local farmers market.
