Cherry Cobbler Two Ways — Beginner and Expert
To me, one of the sweetest rewards of waiting all year long for warm weather is the sweet-tart, firm, ink-red cherries that flourish for a short season. After ogling Party's cherry pie, I decided it was high time I make my own pastry with this beloved stone fruit. Nothing's more summery than a fruit cobbler, still piping hot from the oven and covered with moist biscuit dough.

52 Weeks of Baking: Peach Puzzle
The magazine Cook's Country recently hosted a recipe contest where their readers sent in their old-school family recipes. The winner, a crafty "Peach Puzzle" looked delicious, but didn't really catch my fancy until I read the recipe. The whole thing is prepared like an upside-down cake - with an empty ramekin placed in the middle - and when flipped over the ramekin is surprisingly full of a sweet liquid treat!

Happy Hour: Kiwi Cobbler
Last week at the market, I spotted some New Zealand kiwis for a good price. I know they're not local and organic, but they simply looked too plump and verdant to pass up, so I bought a ton. And, when life handed me a bunch of kiwis, what did I do?
Paula's Peach Cobbler
Yesterday we ran into the lovely Paula Deen at the SF Fancy Foods Show. It was wild, her publicists, assistants and handlers were keeping the Paula-loving crowd organized and in check. It was sort of dorky, all of us standing around looking at Paula, waiting for a glimpse, you'd think we were all seeing The Beatles in their prime, or something.
No Cobbler in Town? Send Your Shoes Out For Repair
These days, it's all about making the best of the things you already own. Americans are embracing this mentality, and the shoe-repair industry has seen a major boost because of it — one third-generation cobbler told The Wall Street Journal his business shot up 50 percent since the economy started its downward spiral.
Many places no longer have a local cobbler, so the 20-something son-of-a-cobbler, Ilya Romanov, created an online shoe-repair service as an extension of his father's existing cobbling business.
Fab Tip: Resole Your Brand New Shoes
Geppetto, the local shoe cobbler, and I have a very special relationship. See, I take my weathered, beat-up, neglected shoes to him and he magically turns them back into the beautiful creations they used to be before I exposed them to life's harsh elements. Such handiwork costs a pretty penny, but it's well worth it.
Must-Read: Dinner At My Place
Over the past few months, I've been testing recipes from Tyler Florence's recent cookbook: Dinner At My Place $13.57.
Although Florence has penned several other cookbooks, this one has a particularly intimate feeling because it includes his family's favorite recipes along with great menus for dinner parties.

Taste Test: Jamba Juice Oatmeal
Because I had a coupon to try Jamba Juice's new oatmeal for a buck, and because Monday in San Francisco started with a serious chill, I decided to mix up my usual cold cereal routine and try this warm treat for a change.
Jamba has been advertising this organic oatmeal generously in its storefronts, and the photos of creamy oats topped with fruit enticed me. You can choose from apple-cinnamon, blueberry-blackberry, or banana, all enhanced with "brown sugar crumble."
Obama Calls Spiaggia's Tony Mantuano His "Favorite Chef"
Since Barack Obama was elected as president, we've learned a fair amount about the commander in chief's food preferences. He enjoys johnnycakes and peach cobbler, and prefers his burger medium-well with salad on the side. The newest item to add to his list of loves?
