		<title>Inspiration, It&#8217;s A Piece Of Cake!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am content if the dessert I order is sweet and satisfying. But there are times when that dessert is so much more and takes on a life of it&#8217;s own. This was the story of a generous slice of cake I recently shared with friends. It was simply described as &#8220;Pineapple Banana Cake&#8221;,  but [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Incredible Edible&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[That&#8217;s the industry slogan, and they are incredible when you consider the spectrum of dishes in which they appear. Is anyone baking today? How about that souffle, or lemon meringue pie that you love to show off? Or &#8216;THE&#8217; perfect omelet that&#160; took a few tries to conquer.

		<title>Contemplating The Role Of The Hostess</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love to thoughtfully consider the icons of food, and why they remain so popular. Enter the well known Hostess Cupcake. At one time I occupied a studio space directly across from the Hostess plant in Seattle. I faced a wall with a protruding pipe labeled &#8220;sugar in&#8221;. At various times during the week, a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pairing The Pear</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Artists love pears. They are figurative, and like the figure, come in many colors and shapes. They also stay ripe for quite a long time, which is the best part: you can use them in a still life to paint, and then eat them. Those of you who follow my Flickr photos know that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Beautiful Napoleon</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a wonderful pastry! Traditionally made with alternating layers of puff pastry (mille-feuille) and pastry cream, then decorated with a shiny poured fondant and chocolate drizzle pattern of varying designs, it is elegant, delicious, and graphically beautiful. I read through many online recipes, as well as my stand by Pastry book: The Pie and Pastry [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Lucious Last Local Tomato</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know I am not the only person eating tomatoes several times a day during tomato season. There is no substitute for the flavor of a tomato in season. And in the Pacific Northwest, tomato season can last into late Fall because our summers don&#8217;t really begin until late July. This is a delicious trick [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Match Made In Heaven</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are those flavors that just work together naturally. Peanut butter and chocolate is one of these perfect pairings. I love the colors as well as the flavors. How classically beautiful is a caramel color paired with a deep, dark brown. On the artist&#8217;s palette this translates as raw sienna and burnt umber. When I [...]]]></description>

Many thanks to my friend Otilia for providing the translation, and to Florence Valencourt for the virtual interview.

		<title>Rooting Around In Spring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It actually was in Spring, during my first trip to France, that I discovered the radish sandwich. I couldn&#8217;t believe I had lived so long without knowing about this simple, delicious, and incredibly satisfying meal. Take spicy, salty, sweet, and buttery then place it all in one package! And if that wasn&#8217;t enough, you are [...]]]></description>
