Great Book Larder Bake Off: Layer Cake
Like every other food blogger and foodie friend I know, I watched The Great British Bake Off, (or Baking Show, as it’s known in the US) this winter. I’m not a big reality cooking competition enthusiast, and the optimism and teamwork of the show were exactly what I needed. A friend told me about Book Larder‘s new event “The Great…
Star Wars Gingerbread
Silly name aside, if you’re a geek in Seattle this holiday season, you must check out the Sheraton Hotel’s annual (and free) gingerbread village “May the Holidays Be With You.” That’s right, Star Wars-themed gingerbread to benefit the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. Here’s some photos I took last weekend!
Baudrillard and the Food Truck: Dragon Fest 2013

Tanabata Beer Festa Toyama 2012

You can barely read your own writing when you are sober, and participating breweries will fill your commemorative half-pint glass…
Japanese Street Food and Foodpia Land 2012 (フードピアランド2012)
I’ve noticed an increased interest by foreign bloggers and media regarding Japan’s (read: Tokyo, Kyoto) street food culture in the last month, and as I was at a large food fair in Kanazawa, I figured it was time to add my comments and photos to the table.
