Sacramento, California

The capital of California is a gold mine of history—literally. Gold was first discovered in 1848, thirty miles east of Sacramento, making the early days rather lively as the town hosted miners who had hit it big. They were a boisterous bunch, spending their loot on gambling and dance halls. Today, Sacramento is still a hub of activity, shipping and processing fruits, vegetables, rice, wheat and dairy goods from Central Valley. It still maintains some of that old west vibe with its vintage buildings on the riverfront—home to over 100 restaurants. Fine restaurants can also be found sprinkling the rest of the city, offering American, Italian, Mexican, French and California cuisine.

About me:
 Before I got married, I was a vegetarian and lived a healthy, active lifestyle. Being from northern CA, I was fond of cooking with fresh, local veggies and loved to experiment with new recipes and new ingredients. And then I got married - to a native North Carolinian from "the country." If it isn't deep fried, barbequed, or smothered in gravy, he's not eating it. Veggies? Those are the things that garnish the plate. He obsesses over his food touching on the plate more than the actual meal I've slaved over. We now have a 20 month old son and I worry about his eating habits. Will he be an opened-minded and adventurous eater like me? Or, will he turn his nose up to anything new, like his dad? I guess we'll see. I love this website because I can share my cooking experiences with people who really appreciate cooking and eating good food.

Baklava

Reviewed on Aug. 17, 2008 by Yasi
First time making baklava...was a lot easier than I thought. I used half walnuts, half pecans, all chopped pretty fine. I did overcook the syrup a bit and after everything had cooled, it was very sticky but still tasty.

S'mores Bars

Reviewed on Aug. 16, 2008 by Wilmasteca
I am giving these a three, but I think it is my fault. I believe I melted the marshmallow too much waiting for it to brown. On the middle ones the layer of marshmallow seperated from the brownie layer. Also, some of the brownie mix "leaked" under the graham crackers so that gave it a little over done flavor. I will maybe try making these again to see if I get better results.
