Colorful blossoms adorn shrubbery throughout the city, allergy season is in full swing, girls have packed up the winter wear and are busting out the sun dresses, and more importantly seasonal spring vegetables are announcing their arrival in CSA baskets, farmers markets and local grocery stores [...]

A number of friends have asked both Jacki and I about the Kauai trip. Where did we go? What part of the island did we stay on? What did we Pao Chow and Pao Sip, and how did we opt to stay Pao Fit with the variety of heart-pumping activities at our disposal? Here are [...]

It has been almost a week since my last entry. Must still be operating slightly on island time. That is what happens though when you 1) get back from a week-long vacation in Kauai 2) get hired to write for the Examiner (www.examiner.com) as their new SF Burger Examiner. You read that correctly, folks. I’ve [...]

Fresh back from a week long vaca in Kauai (look for the post next week!) and am feeling refreshed, balanced, tan and on “island time.” I was not sure how I’d feel leaving literal “paradise” for a return to the mainland, but San Francisco never fails to impress. Two days back and I’m already pumped [...]

I’ll be taking a bit of a vaca for the next week to Kauai, and more specifically to the Napali Coast and Hanalei. Despite living on Oahu for three years as a kid, I never took a trip to any of the other islands so I’m excited! SF Tao of Pao will be taking a [...]

Last week was round 2 of the San Francisco cooking “club” with Jillian and Christina of Farm & a Frying, and Jess of Sodium Girl. You may remember my Pao Chow post introducing the evening’s theme of bold, spice-filled Moroccan cuisine (http://sftaoofpao.com/2010/03/23/moroccan-feast-with-foodie-friends/). We parsed out the menu between the four of us. Jess produced a [...]
Recipe of the Week: Spicy Mackerel with Chilies and Tomato
Posted in Pao Chow, Recipes, tagged mackerel, Pao Chow, Recipes, spice on March 24, 2010 | Leave a Comment »
This is a healthy recipe I saw on Chow.com and modified it slightly to my taste. It’s a quick and easy meal that takes about 15-20 minutes to prepare and cook. The blend of cumin and jalapenos pack a punch of spice, that is complemented with the acidity of the tomatoes and lime juice. Mackerel [...]
Moroccan Feast with Foodie Friends

You may remember that a couple weeks back I cooked a huge Puerto Rican feast with Jess of Sodium Girl (http://sodiumgirl.wordpress.com/). Little did I know that this would be the first of many recurring “cooking club” dinners with little Ms. Hold the Salt Herself. Since our first fiesta puertorriquena was such a smashing success, we [...]
Credo – “I Believe Who Eats Well, Lives Well”

Credo means “I believe” in Latin. It also happens to be a new Italian restaurant in the heart of FiDi (Financial District) focused on dishing out simple, Italian cuisine with a kick of flair – this is no Pasta Pomodoro. After going there a couple times in the last month or two (it just opened [...]

For my non-Spanish speakers, allow me to translate the title of today’s post: Puerto Rican Food Feast without Salt? Yes, You Can! You may remember an entry I put up a week or so ago (http://sftaoofpao.com/2010/03/03/fiesta-de-comida-recetas-puertorriquenas-sin-sal) detailing a Puerto Rican dinner challenge I was going to have with fellow food celebrator, Jessica Goldman, writer [...]
