Fast & Easy Dinner: Fusion Coleslaw
Jam packed with vibrant flavors and textured ingredients, this coleslaw is more like an entree salad than a side dish or sandwich topper.

Let's Dish: What Music Do You Cook To?
Last week the San Francisco Chronicle ran an interesting article that discusses the role of music in the commercial kitchen and features the favored playlists of several Bay Area chefs. With so much time spent prepping, it's no surprise that "music cuts through the monotony of the day," according to one chef. Although cooking at home is very different from being in a restaurant kitchen, I too enjoy listening to some groovy tunes.
