Times restaurant critic Nancy Leson comes out of anonymity and announces a new blog to boot, All You Can Eat.

Yes, there are a lot of African-American chefs in Seattle. No, they don't all cook "soul food."

In the kitchen, make good use of Spring produce with recipes for: Marinated Salmon and Spinach Salad, Oven-Braised Cod with Leeks, Fennel and Peppers, Sautéed Artichokes with Crispy Garlic and Sage, Artichoke Bottoms, and Grilled Asparagus Salad.

Brian Carter blends a good bottle, and your petite Syrah questions are answered.

Brown Sugar: Soul Food Desserts from Family and Friends, Cookbook of the Day

When a book goes so far as to put the phrase "from family and friends" in the title, you know it is going to be the type of book that a home cook can relate to. After all, we are generally cooking for our family and friends, aren't we? Brown Sugar: Soul Food Desserts from Family and Friends is the sort of cookbook that makes you want to cook for your loved ones, in addition to providing you with plenty of recipes that will put smiles on their faces.

The book is about soul food desserts and is, in fact, a follow-up to the author's previous work on that subject. The recipes have been collected from all over the country, so there is no regional bias towards any specific area, but the thread that connects everything is the "homespun style of African-American cuisine sprinkled with a healthy dose of brown sugar" - and while that sounds like a metaphor, there is quite literally brown sugar in just about every recipe in the book. They are all written in a casual, friendly style and are easy to follow. Some of the recipes include Raisin Oatmeal Cookies, Orange Buttermilk Pie and Burnt Sugar Ice Cream.
