Joshua Tree part 2

The journey to Joshua Tree ended really well.  I am very happy with the quality and beauty of food that we made. Here Savrah’s raw kale salad that she will teach in the upcoming bolinas cooking series.It is the one of the best ways of making kale that I have ever tried. Remember the first time you ever tried kale? I think it was in collage for me but I can’t remember for sure.  Life before kale…its hard to imagine.

Here is Kathalina with her amazing asian jicama spinach salad with a citrus dressing:

I have been having fun working on a pumpkin coffee spice cake with an almond chocolate ganache recipe that I adapted from the millenium cook book. Here it is:

Pistachio rose cupcake with a rose frosting. The pink color is beet juice.  I would say these cupcakes are a “10″ in my

dessert book. They were really really good.

These babys here are authentic German Potato cakes(we call them Poteo cakes for Teo) with cucumber raita and a pear chutney. A great adaptation to the classic german version. Indian food meets German? Humm, could be good. Does that mean we can have a chai beer?

How about bollywood style peanuts? I ate so many that I couldn’t really breathe anymore.:

:Here’s Jeremy and Me, after he gave he his coveted t-shirt! I am so happy! I think I will wear it to Rainbow grocery.
