It’s kinda clever, don’t you think? At first I wasn’t sure how to go about this. How to ease into the big favor I wanted to ask all of you. Then Erin mentioned a candy recipe, and I...
I can’t stop eating tomatoes. Really. I can’t. Maybe you’ve figured that out since they’ve been featured in my last three posts. But this time of year, tomatoes taste like tom...
**homeroom update: We’ll be cooking mac and cheese at the Underground Farmers’ Market in Oakland this Saturday from 5pm-11pm. Live music, beer, and 40 food vendors! Details at homeroom510...
Maybe you’ve felt gypped lately. I can’t really blame you. I’ve been a bit stingy with the recipes. I wish I could find a quicker way to get these posts up. Each one just takes so m...
I know, I know – I made you wait sooo long! But here it is. Our new name… homeroom Before I tell you the significance of the name, I quickly want to say that on July 24th, from 6pm – midn...
I felt pretty darn lucky this week My friend Daniel, a talented graphic designer (he designed the local lemons logo) and photographer, had the opportunity to photograph Alice Waters last week. Alice ...
How did I let this happen? How did I let all these weeks go by without a single post? I hope I still know how to do this. Maybe it’s just like riding a bike… I’m thinking you are al...
Eat mac and cheese. Screw McDonald’s. Get famous. That was our motto at the SF Underground Farmers’ Market on Friday, after finding out two days earlier that McDonald’s would sue us for opening a res...
Let me try to keep this brief. Taking a read through some past posts, it seems I have a tendancy to be long-winded. Jeez. Sorry about that. I really wanted you to have this recipe for Memorial Day ba...
Do you think I’m pretentious? You can tell me. I can take it. I met a reader the other day who told me I come off as pretentious, and she was happy to see I wasn’t. It got me thinking. Wh...
You know, I feel blessed. I’m not particularly religious. Nor do I think you have to be to feel blessed. A feeling that someone, or something, is steering you in the right direction, giving you...
The thing about chorizo is, when it’s good, it’s big, smoky, spicy, eyes-to-the-back-of-your-head good. When it’s bad, it’s crusty, greasy, day-old 7-Eleven hot dog bad. Uck. There are lots of things...
Thank you, thank you! You guys are the best. Really. I never thought the day would come when I’d pour our life savings into a restaurant, and I especially never thought I’d get such passi...
I have so much to tell you. I couldn’t wait to write this post. But I had to think of the perfect recipe first. And then I got it. Key lime pie with silky meringue topping. Hands down my favori...
Grilled fava beans are soooo last year. Everyone was doing it. Fancy pants restaurants, Top tier magazines, big league food blogs. I mean, everyone who is anyone in the food world grilled up some fav...
Everyone says that, don’t they? I’m sure you do too. Don’t you think your grilled cheese sandwich is the best grilled cheese that was ever made? I know I do. You know what else ever...
You’re not tired of my limoncello stories, are you? I sure hope not. This is the last one. Promise. Pinky swear. And they’re cookies! Thumbprint cookies made with homemade limoncello. Now...
It has come to my attention that many of you do not visit Local Lemons in search of an easy weeknight meal. Is it because I make things like this 5-hour lamb bolognese? Or maybe because my homemade c...
Dear Jamie Oliver, If you were to come over for dinner, I’d bake you an artichoke and orange galette. I may also cook this for you. Or this, or maybe this. But we’d start with a buttery, rich galette...
Everyone, this is Erin. Erin, this is everyone. Now play nice… I have to admit it—I was pretty giddy when Allison invited me to do a guest post on Local Lemons. Although I am Allison’s goo...
Hey everyone. It’s my birthday! I’m getting old. Not that old, but old still. Old for me. When did you start feeling old? It’s an awkward birthday too. On a Tuesday, and for the fir...
This is big. This is so big. I’ve been gone for a while. I’m sure you noticed. No posts, tweets, facebook updates. But I have a good reason. A very good reason. You see, for the last few months, I’ve...
Oh Dad. You said it could never be done. You said the unfathomable combination of chocolates is just too much for the home cook to bear. A recipe so exact, so mystifying, that it’s downright impossib...
Naked is fun. Freeing. Liberating. Not naked as in changing at the gym in front of sweaty strangers, or drearily stripping off pjs before your morning shower. I mean naked as in pure, clean, unadulte...
If you’re on a low-carb diet, you may want to stop reading this. Or stop dieting (it’s a stupid diet anyway). Last Sunday, 20 competitors, three judges and over 200 hungry attendees gathered at the T...
