Taste of Howell Mountain 2012 Reviews

This years Taste of Howell Mountain took place the same weekend as the U.S open golf tournament in San Francisco. The auctioned tapped into the coinciding event and created a golf theme for the auction.  Richard Haake and the team at Winery Chefs tapped into the theme to create an array of delicious small bites to feed auction attendees. Take a look at the link to read a review of the auction and food. I want to thank Sam Peters for all his hard work and including Winery Chefs as the caterer for this years auction.

Summer Garden 2009- part 1

I maintain a garden at home throughout the year. Summer presents me with the opportunity to try new things. This year I have rotated plant location, worked the soil and updated the irrigation. I choose to use starts from Forni Brown gardens in Calistoga. I like starting from seed with some plantings but I definitely like the convenance of using starts. These pictures were taken the first of May.

One of my favorite recipes from my Cakebread Cellars days.

Realizing I am spending too much time working on my new business and not enough time adding to my blog I am going to attempt to add some content that I have developed in the past. I worked as the resident chef for five years at Cakebread Cellars. I cant say enough kind words about the Cakebread family. They are committed to excellence and have a world class culinary program lead by culinary director, Brian Streeter. I learned much of my recipe writing techniques at the winery. It takes a lot of hard work. Here is one my recipes that is on the Cakebread Cellars website, a great source for wine and food recipes.
