Hi everyone,
we are off to a great start of 2008 celebrating the late great Martin Luther King, Jr, Black History, presidential primary election, Chinese New Year and Valentines' Day. A great month to recognize and celebrate our diversity. I am thankful for all our blessings.
Culinary news, food prices continue to increase putting demands on retail, wholesale, restaurants and especially at home. I choose to purchase the least expensive meats that require slow roasting/stewings/braising. This creates a hardy winter dish to warm your heart and soul.
Vegetables are always plentiful and delicious. I am using winter squashes for soups, side dishes, and stews. Pasta with wilted greens, salads with a hearty bluecheese vinaigrette. Legumes and beans from around the globe make interesting soups too. These dishes are relatively inexpensive and easy to create. Be sure to check out my recipes at www.chefbiron.com or inside the local edition of California Healthy.
Thanks for all your support and green enthusiasm making a difference in what we eat, how we live, and take care of our planet in 2008. In addition to working full time, I keep myself busy taking writing courses to increase my skills. I currently write a food column for California Tour and Travel Magazine and on www.cupertinodaily.com
