I took this cake to a friend’s house the other day. I wasn’t sure if I would be in the mood to bake anything and was prepared to purchase one instead. The day before we were going for the dinner, I checked with her what she was cooking.

After a much hyped few months, Food & Wine ‘s first annual Taste of Beverly Hills transpired this past weekend with a star-studded kickoff par-tay Thursday evening, culminating with a not-so-casual bbq Sunday night. Some very big deal LA restaurant personalities graced the festival with their presence (and cooking) including Michael Voltaggio , Walter Manzke , Ludo Lefebvre , plus new west coast import Scott Conant (of soon-to-open Scarpetta) and Tim Love who is rumored to be working on a project in Costa Mesa. But putting aside all the food, wine, and overly inebriated guests (witnessed many of those), the talk of the festival came down to New Yorker, Justin Warner , aka J$ .

Sometimes owning a restaurant in New York is the second calling of people who struggled to make a name for themselves in Hollywood, either in front of or behind the camera. For a few restaurateurs, it’s the other way around: they get into acting and filmmaking after having already opened successful eateries.

Switzerland is more famous for cheese than for vegetarian specialities, but Zurich has some excellent veggie restaurants. The most famous is the Hiltl, founded over a hundred years ago. Most of the vegetarian restaurants in Zurich serve mainly lacto-ovo-vegetarian food, so vegans should check with the staff for vegan options.

It was great having the day off Monday, but did it really have to be Labor Day already? Did the young woman who minds one of my favorite little farm stands — a truck, actually, parked outside the Catonsville library — have to mention, as I picked up peaches and a watermelon Sunday, that it was their last weekend of the season? Where did the summer go

Continuing with my Vancouver International Fringe Festival giveaways, another play that looks like it will be a great show is Oh! The Humanity & Other Good Intentions .

I get lost on YouTube! While perusing the internet yesterday, I found this old show that Chef Marco Pierre White did in the late 80′s on British television. Apart from being a wildly fascinating character study, it is very cool to see the man cooking in the Harvey’s kitchen – the place of so much lore. His technique is amazing and the speed at which he moves during service is something else
