Cooking With The Single Guy: January 2011
http://singleguychef.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
Sunday, January 30, 2011. Food Gallery: Watermelon Radishes. I've talked about watermelon radishes before, noting their beautiful interior that explodes like fireworks in a brilliant fuschia. I spotted them recently at the farmers' market and knew they would make a great photo subject. Watermelon radishes can taste sharp (nothing sweet like watermelons) and they always offer a splash of color to your dish. Posted by Single Guy Ben. Saturday, January 29, 2011. So pretty much my kitchen is done, with a few...

Cooking With The Single Guy: July 2011
http://singleguychef.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 31, 2011. Bloem 'n Sugar in San Francisco- CLOSED. UPDATE (11/30/11): Noticed this place has closed up after a short run. Not sure what happened. Too bad. Since I rely on BART to get me into the city, I'm quite familiar with the Powell Street station. Recently when I was in San Francisco, I got off at the station and noticed a waffle shop in a tiny corner shop at the entrance of the Westfield San Francisco Centre. Posted by Single Guy Ben. Friday, July 29, 2011. But she and her husband, Mari...

Cooking With The Single Guy: Food Gallery
http://singleguychef.blogspot.com/2011/09/food-gallery.html
Tuesday, September 06, 2011. Hope you all enjoyed your Labor Day weekend. If you were like me, you probably roasted or grilled some vegetables. When I cut into this red bell pepper, I got a surprise with all the little - and colorful - things growing inside. I've never had a pepper like this. It looked like it was a mom pepper with lots of babies inside. Unfortunately, I just dug them out and threw them away. But not before I took a picture of them. Posted by Single Guy Ben. What a strange pepper! Barkin...

Cooking With The Single Guy: Tyler Florence’s Angry Lobster with Tomato-Chile Butter Recipe
http://singleguychef.blogspot.com/2011/09/tyler-florences-angry-lobster-with.html
Wednesday, September 21, 2011. Tyler Florence’s Angry Lobster with Tomato-Chile Butter Recipe. For this month’s Test Kitchen, I get to eat lobster thanks to your votes. Some 47 percent of you wanted me to try the “angry lobster” recipe from Tyler Florence’s “Tyler’s Ultimate” Cookbook that I got awhile back. That far exceeded the other three choices: Ultimate chicken wings (23%), hunter’s minestrone (16%), and lemon ricotta crepes (12%). When the lobsters are all browned, then they all get combined in th...

Sunday, September 18, 2011. Joong Demo by Chef Alex Ong. This past weekend was the Dragon Boat races in the San Francisco Bay Area. It's a great outdoor event to watch teams maneuver dragon boats near Treasure Island. One of the signature food associated with the festival is joong. Into the river to give the fish something else to eat. OK, so that's a lot of Chinese folk history. All this is to introduce a chef's demo at Macy's that I went to this weekend featuring Chef Alex Ong of Betelnut. In honor of ...

Cooking With The Single Guy: Happy Moon Festival
http://singleguychef.blogspot.com/2011/09/happy-moon-festival.html
Monday, September 12, 2011. Today is the Chinese Moon Festival, which is a folk celebration that coincides with the fall harvest. So sometimes it’s known as a harvest festival and families typically put on a feast. But in the United States, most Chinese-Americans know it as “moon cake day.”. I got a box of traditional moon cakes, but in miniature size since I’m the Single Guy. These cakes, from the famous Kee Wah Bakery in Hong Kong, were square shaped and have an interesting mold design (all m...The fil...

Sunday, August 08, 2010. East Bay Underground Market in Oakland.

The market is a monthly event in San Francisco. The Underground Market in San Francisco has been highly successful and grows bigger and bigger each month that the organizer, Forage SF. And this bowl of gumbo was just $5! The vendors were supposed to be mostly f...
