Several of you have written or commented on the blogs asking how low carb our Thanksgiving dinner will be. The answer is…somewhat. While we try to hold the line where we can, from its inception, Thanksgiving has been a feasting holiday and day set aside to give thanks for the bounty we’ve been blessed to…
About once a week I get a letter from someone asking if there is a good book on how to feed kids to keep them strong and healthy or to help them lose weight and get fit. There aren’t many and we even know of some good ones that couldn’t find a publishing home. With…
There was an article by the AP’s Katie Moriarity in yesterday’s paper about Halloween Cocktails that I found intriguing. I’ve posted before about the resurgence of specialty cocktails (particularly martinis) that swept the nation with the success of Sex and the City. And the beat goes on. The two in Ms. Moriarity’s article (The Warm…
We love to cook out on the grill, which we can do year round when we’re at our place in Santa Barbara.

We were recently invited to join our friends, Mike and Debbie, to celebrate their anniversary with a weekend of wine tasting and golf in Napa.

Thanks to the miracle that is the world wide web, our blogs reach people in all parts of the globe. Just the other day, for example, a reader from India wrote telling us that she had purchased our book Protein Power and was persuaded by it to commit to the diet to lose weight and…
Day after tomorrow, July 4, we Americans–most of us at least–will gather together in backyards and parks, on beaches and boardwalks, in small groups and giant crowds to celebrate our nation’s birthday with fireworks and music and, most of all, food. We plan to do likewise. Although we’re headed back up to Tahoe in a…
We were having a friend over for dinner a few weeks ago for a simple steak cookout. Usually I opt for ease on these occasions and roast squash or asparagus on the grill while I’m cooking the steaks. This night, however, I had a buzz on to have something a little different, something cheesy and…
An op-ed piece appeared today in the NY Times that sheds a little more disturbing light on the plight of wild salmon. The article also points up the serious problem in farmed salmon of not only not being as rich in omega 3 fats, but of being tainted with the pesticide emamectin benzoate. Just as…
