Sonoma County Olive Oil & Meyer Lemon Cake

February 10, 2016 by AHS

Over the weekend, we got to go to a ranch in Sonoma County where a long lost family member (my brother-in-law’s step uncle if we’re counting) grows about an acres’s worth of grapes – enough to make several dozen cases of wine per year, with which among other things he brings bountiful country picnics with a tasting of several gold and silver winning varietals to life on a regular basis. When we got there for a late lunch on Saturday, […]

From the Makers of Clif Bar…

November 16, 2015 by AHS

In the midst of packing for our move to San Francisco early this summer, I found myself seated at my local dinner spot next to a resident of St. Helena, a town in the Napa Valley in California. While I typically value my bar stool at Otto (from which I’ve consumed more Margarita pizzas than glasses of wine) as a special place to enjoy a personal moment amid the bustling city, it would clearly have been a lost opportunity not […]

TransAlp 2015

August 3, 2015 by AHS

Where have I been!?! It’s hard to believe that not long ago, I was at my perch in Manhattan working on healthy recipe development and sharing on a regular basis. I’ve missed posting since life as I’ve known it was upended 7/8 weeks ago. Ultimately in a good way, I think… since mid-June, we have moved across the country from New York City to San Francisco, selling our former home and just as quickly finding a new one. When Paul […]

A Taste of Puerto Rico

March 11, 2015 by AHS

At the tail end of February, the opportunity to tag along on a quick trip to Puerto Rico came about and upon realizing there was an exciting project in the making I jumped right on it. Aside from a wedding on a beautiful beach on the other side of the island that we never left during the three day event, I’d never effectively been to Puerto Rico. This trip was to San Juan, specifically Condado, a strip of coast on […]
