Part of the Culinary Adventure is celebrating food- ALWAYS. This means having GRATITUDE, REVERENCE, AND APPRECIATION, for all that food provides us. Let me count the ways.... 1- Life sustaining nourishment 2-Hunger satisfaction 3-Taste, smell and visual satisfaction (sensual) 4- Opportunity for creativity 5- Connection with others (sharing recipes around the world).....and many more! Being in the Desert in California, I have been able to witness how some of the produce supply chain operates....

The only real reason that I care about Valentine's Day, is that I have absolute permission to EAT CHOCOLATE! AND I DO! There are several good Chocolatiers in NYC. My favorite to date is MarieBelle, a lovely chocolate store with a little cafe on Broome St in Soho. Stepping into this store is like being in Paris! It is elegant and beautiful, displaying artistic, artisanal handmade chocolates!...

Aux Merveilleux de Fred is one of my favorite dessert spots in NYC!

Other locations are in the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, U.S., Canada, Japan, and the Czech Republic....

I made the most amazing heirloom tomato soup the other day. There is a Farmer's Market that is available near me, on the weekends. They sell really good produce, and it is bountiful; as there are lots of farmers in the state of California. Everything that I purchase is fresh and tasty. In the middle of the winter; fresh, LOCALis a gift!...

What is a Culinary Adventure? Well, here goes my definition..... A culinary adventure is first and foremost, the sense of delight that one experiences when thinking about food! Whether planning a meal, or finding a new restaurant; whether it be cooking the food yourself, or dining out. IT IS EVENTUALLY ALL ABOUT EATING! A culinary adventure can be a simple as walking into a new food market to check out the aisles; or stopping into a neighborhood deli or bodega to partake in some of their homemade dishes....

I happen to love a good French Onion Soup! There is nothing like eating caramelized onions, good French bread and melted gruyere cheese, and wonderful beef broth. It is a delight! Palm Springs is the home of many good restaurants. I believe that It is my absolute duty to test out these places to determine where and when to spend my well earned money!...
