Four new books are an indication that people are starting to make changes in the way we eat - no more industrialized foods, but organic, local, and sustainable.
In the kitchen, call it what you will, but in the end, it's an open-faced sandwich. Recipes are for Arugula, Heirloom Tomato and Prosciutto; Manchego Cheese and Fig, and Ahi Tuna and Avocado. French chef with two Michelin stars, Stephane Carrade, is a local hero because he isn't fussy at his restaurant Chef Ruffet. He shares his recipe for a Vegetable Plate. Octopus Salad recipe comes from Bartolotta di Mare at the Wynn Hotel in Vegas.
Why is $10 the magic number for wine, and what can you get with that amount? It all depends on where you're looking. The Wine of the Week is 2004 Domaine Alary Côtes du Rhône 'La Gerbaude,' which SIV calls "ripe and juicy."
SIV gives the new restaurant at the Hotel Casa Del Mar, Oceanfront, two stars (**). Macau Street, a cafe in Monterey Park, serves lunch through late night.

Dont know about the octopus, but open faces sandwiches are a good change and makes a great compliment to a afternoon luncheon or even a late supper for two or a party of 50!
