The other night I found myself at
Nopa, a San Francisco restaurant known for its great food and
equally respectable drinks. My drink of choice was the pisco sour, the slightly sweet, tart, frothy lemon cocktail made with
pisco, a regional South American brandy. This is a wonderful concoction and I'm excited to re-create it at home.If you don't own pisco, you can find it at a well-stocked liquor store or
online.
Yesterday Tanya Steel, the award-winning editor in chief of
Epicurious, was at the San Francisco Ferry Building. YumSugar and I took a walk down to meet with the Epicurious street team and check out the latest produce at the Tuesday morning market. On a
green market tour to promote eating locally, Epicurious has created a bunch of
special recipes that feature produce specific to each region.
Doesn't this Asian flank steak with slaw look delicious.
FinnLover posted it in the
Dinner Challenge group on TeamSugar.
The recipe reminds me of an updated steak salad.
I don't know about you, but being this close to
Cinco de Mayo makes me crave margaritas. Simply made, a margarita is tequila, orange liquor, and lime juice. However, this recipe for the ultimate margarita takes the concoction to a whole new level.
No menu — including an
Easter brunch — is complete without a sweet finish. You could order a bunch of fancy pastries from your favorite bakery, or you could use puff pastry to make a sweet, flaky chocolate filled treat in the comfort of your own kitchen. These mini pain au chocolates are deliciously satisfying and beyond simple to make.
