How do you marry an 8,000 year old root from South America with a cheese from France or Italy? I’m talking about purple potatoes and blue cheese (or gorgonzola). Both foods are sexy and have a story. The rumor is that blue cheese was discovered in a cave after a young man left his curds…

Snowcap Heirloom Bean Soup with Shrimp, Green Olives, Lime
When I go to Napa, I equally enjoy the food shopping as I do the restaurants. This recipe incorporates Rancho Gordo snowcap beans and Round Pond Estates hot sauce.

Our Favorite Food Eaten in Italy
It’s almost cliche to say that Italy changed my food life. Even though I was raised in an Italian foodie family that cooked the healthiest, seasonal whole food, before that became “the thing,” Italy changed my food life, because Italy changed my husband. He returned to the states with an Italian palate and a love…
