Back from the West Coast

Happy New Year! May your 2010 be an amazing year of food, wine, love and joy!

What a wet trip to wine country this January, we had a nice time expect we grew webbed feet. Seriously I attended the 6th Annual World of Healthy Flavors at the CIA at Greystone while Linda worked on some of her own projects. This event is attend by luminaries in Public Health from Harvard, John Hopkins and other prestigious schools all in the name of helping the American public eat better and be healthier. Additionally several well known chefs and industry peers are in attendance to work on applying what we learn to our business segments. It was an action packed three and half days of some great insights and information as we work on cooking and feed people in the future. I really enjoyed learning more about nutrition and flavors to make everyday eating better. The benefit for you is that you will see our new health and wellness recipes reflect these influences as we move forward into 2010. And of course we had some wine and great food while in the valley. We will talk more about Go Fish, Martini House, Rutherford Grill, Staglin Winery, Quivara Winery, White Oak and of course our dinner at the French Laundry. We have some much to share so stay tuned over the next several weeks as we highlight the best of a soggy trip to wine country.
