Zikomo!- Riki Berglin

Last summer I almost blinded myself in the kitchen. Yes you heard me right, Blinded. The dish was french onion soup and the bain of my existence were the damn onions. The recipe called for a whole bag of onions and was quite the gauntlet for us amateur onion cutters. There is nothing quite like […]

A Kitchen Disaster–Lauren Calvio
January 24, 2014
The air was ashy and my arms began to cramp as I fanned the kitchen door back and forth in an attempted to clear out the room. The windows were all wide open, the only answer we could think of to further ventilate the smoke. That age old command your parents tell you, Don’t burn […]

There have been few experiences in my life that I have indulged myself in the way I did during my food expedition to the Mission District in San Francisco.
