How To Eat (that)

Images of food past

Ahoy!




How to Eat (that) the weblog, was created as a follow up to the book How to Eat (that) — a pocket etiquette guide to the cultures and the etiquette at dinner tables around the world. It is yet to be available, but bits of the content can be found on this site under the How to category.

This site is a collaborative effort between myself, Adrianne Dow Young, and my husband Chef Erik Brett Cannella. We cook professionally up and down the west coast. You can read about our other adventures here.
Your comments are encouraged – especially feedback on recipes you tried. Email is welcome.



A WARNING ABOUT THE RECIPES


RARE is it that Erik and I measure ingredients for marinades, sauces and rubs. Spices change and bloom differently and mutate with age, heat, humidity and cooking temperature. If you try one of our recipes we suggest that you taste and create based on what's happening in front of you.

Night Out at Solid Rock Farm

Posted by Adrianne Dow Young at 22:53
Life in an agricultural area is different than in the city. Whole Foods seems limited when you stand in the middle of an acre full of organic vegetables.

This evening we went to Solid Rock Farm, a place where you pay 100 bucks a year to grow, weed, till and take all the produce home you can hope for.

We weeded a bit of a strawberry patch and were rewarded with eggplant, squash, beans, potatoes, heirloom tomatoes and kale.

What I love about Solid Rock is the fact that they are entering the new way of doing what we all need to be doing: Share land to grow stuff on.

It was a beautiful night that sprung a glorious future.
