It may be warming up, but a hearty bowl of soup is the perfect comfort food year-round. A drive to Napa and about $9 will get you a satisfying bowl of Soupe Gratinée à l’Oignon (or simply, French Onion Soup) at Angéle Restaurant & Bar on Main Street. Bon appétit!
I never play favorites. Except when choosing Japanese noodles, and then I always favor soba. Soba is a brown noodle made from buckwheat flour. I adore the nutty flavor, and its dense texture makes it a hearty addition to any soup. Soba is much sturdier than its thin, curly ramen counterpart, and it is much [...]
The Crocker Café was recently named one of The Sacramento Bee’s 10 Brightest Lunch Stars for 2010. And it’s no wonder. The eatery, run by restaurateurs Bobbin and Patrick Mulvaney (of the farm-to-table fresh, Zagat-rated Mulvaney’s B&L), boasts an expansive dining space across the light-flooded Friedman Court in the Crocker Art Museum’s recent $100 million [...]

The following recipe comes from one of my go-to cookbooks, “The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook.” I’ve made this recipe numerous times, playing [...]
There’s frost on your car in the morning, your shorts and flip flops have been laid to rest and it’s time to start bundling up in front of the fireplace with a tasty bowl of steamy soup. What does this all mean? It’s time to kick off this year’s Soup Series! Sit back, enjoy and [...]
One of our colleagues just came back from having lunch at the restaurant inside of the Embassy Suites Hotel and shared this fun picture with us. We were so intrigued that we might have run down the street to try it ourselves if we hadn’t all already eaten lunch today! Described as French Onion Soup [...]
Where: Paul Martin’s American Bistro What: A fresh-tasting and intensely satisfying tomato bisque that was featured a few weeks ago on the ever-changing seasonal menu at the Roseville locavore restaurant. Why: There’s just something about a steaming bowl of creamy tomato soup on a cold winter evening that makes this girl happy. Just don’t slurp too loudly – people [...]
