Would like to give you a Food Rant from Chef Marian here and share it with my other Facebook pages and throughout my social media. If I wasn’t ranting, I would be complaining. Sarcasm.

I am dedicating this blog to my experience Sunday when I was on stage at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for the Chef Marian Cooking Class. I teach a free Food & Nutrition Class as many as 4 times every summer going into my 4th year and I am always pleased, always amazed at who turns out. … Read more

We now have pasta that’s quinoa, pasta that’s rice, pasta that’s red lentils. I’m sure you’ve seen more than that. I’d like to take away your ‘fear factor’. And that’s why … Read more
Thought I would take a minute to give you some Chef’s Tips: How to Cook Healthy. Yes. It’s called Chef’s Tips: How to Cook Healthy and unfortunately, I can’t put a period on the end and still have good SEO, so I found my way around it…. WHAT’S BUGGING YOU, CHEF?

I received in my ‘inbox’ a note from Prezi that brings up the issue of Organic vs. Sustainable Food. And that got me thinking and drove me into Myth Busting Organic and Sustainable Food.
