By Rachel Perez 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 [...]
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 [...]
Like the warm & fuzzy feeling you get by reading “Chicken Soup for the Soul,” some of Sacramento’s favorite eateries are offering up soups that will warm your heart and your bowl. Last week, the Sac Foodies had the opportunity to preview some of the soups planned for the 7th Annual Empty Bowls event – [...]
There’s a reason why the Chicken Soup for the Soul book series has such a tremendous following, and it’s not just because they’ve created a version for virtually every segment of the population (think: Chicken Soup for the Teenage Soul, Chicken Soup for the Mother’s Soul, Chicken Soup for the Pre-teen’s Soul – you get [...]
I was so excited that we were doing a soup series again because I love soup. Not only is it comforting in the cold winter months, but it is often very easy to prepare. The following recipe comes from one of my go-to cookbooks, “The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook.” I’ve made this recipe numerous times, playing [...]

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 [...]
I love winter squash, but will be the first to admit that I’m a complete rookie at preparing them. Not that they are hard to cook, most squash variety you can bake, grill, steam, even microwave, but for some reason they intimidate me. I found the recipe below for butternut squash bisque and had to [...]
