It’s not too late to put together a great gift. The place to go? The Ferry Building. Here are a few of my favorite things, all under $10, that can fill Christmas stockings or be assembled into a basket for a foodie friend (hint..hint).

When I saw this adorable tweet by Donna, owner of pot + pantry, an equally adorable kitchen boutique in the Mission, I was instantly in the Christmas spirit and inspired to make a whole clan of gingerbread men.
The whole lot in ugly Christmas sweaters! December 28, 2009
I love the concept of a Buche de Noel (or Yule log). The dessert is traditionally served during the holidays in France. It is shaped like a freshly cut log and often decorated with meringue mushrooms, berries, and rosemary sprigs to give it that wintery look. I’ve recently been raving about Francois Payard’s version after seeing him make it on Bobby Flay’s Throwdown last year, but my fascination for yule logs goes back to a winter white version done by Martha Stewart.

I’m a huge fan of TV dramedy, Gilmore Girls. I love the quirky town and the relationship-centered story lines. Lorelai and Rory, the mother and daughter duo were written to be big eaters and capable of large consumptions of sweets. Sounds like me. One of my favorite food moments is in Season One. Luke’s diner is their usual eatery where they consume burgers, fries, donuts, and pie on a daily basis. Lorelai wanted something festive for the holidays, thus the creation of the Santa Burger. Gross but entertaining. Santa Burger ingredients: Wonder bread, two buns, ketchup, cream cheese, patty, olives, cherry tomato See the clip from the episode below: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qiWMKHpbeNE] December 5, 2009
We’re expecting rain all next week which is perfect for watching my favorite holiday food specials. I’ve gathered up a list of all my favorites for this month. Hope they bring inspiration to your holiday planning. Happy TiVOing! Martha Stewart’s Christmas Special (Fine Living Network) November 29, 2009
I almost left my post-Thanksgiving shopping trip empty handed, but with my exceptional eye for anything sweet, I happily carried a bag with cupcakes back to my car. I made a trip to San Francisco and after 4 hours of browsing I was bagless and was ready to give up. While maneuvering out of the insanely busy Union Square, I spotted… cupcakes!
A girl was holding the most beautifully browned swirled S’more cupcake. I walked 10 steps before turning around and asking where to get them. That’s how I discovered Cako cupcakes. |
 My life is food and I am lucky to experience it in San Francisco. Williams-Sonoma is my 8-5 and more because I dream the store is my kitchen. The Ferry Building farmer's market is my inspiration for baking in my half-sized apartment. When I'm not there, I'm out searching for the city's best eats, with special attention to sweets. I hope in perusing my blog, you are inspired with ideas for cooking, entertaining and tasting new things. Email me
