Time and time again, there is one post on my blog that continues to elicit questions and comments, no matter how old or brief my initial writing was. Not the patterns nor recipes I have written myself and carefully archived for future reference, but a completely forgettable entry I made over a year […]

Chuck Siegel of San Francisco’s three-year old Charles Chocolates is a busy man. He’s running a new boutique (opened just in time for Valentine’s Day), he’s experimenting with flavor infusions from Teance Fine Teas and locally-made wines, and he’s supplying first-class treats to Qantas Airways.

Working in an office, I am surrounded by delectable aromas that come out of the microwave. The food always smells so delicious that I wish my Lean Cuisine would turn into a juicy hamburger with chocolate French fries.
When I finish my cuisine, I sit back at my desk and begin to feel this force that […]

You may be sugar savvy, but are you sugar subsitute savvy?
Do you now your aspartame from your saccharin or your sucrose from your xylitol? Do you know what stevia is?
