		<description><![CDATA[It used to be that citrus fruits were my favorite wintertime bounty, but that was before I tasted my first white truffle. Only available October through December and priced in the neighborhood of $300 an ounce, this precious tuber is the ultimate indulgence during the cooler months of the year. I was recently invited to [...]]]></description>

Even though the weather conditions were chocolate-meltingly hot, the turnout was terrific and we raised $4,323.86 for the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank. It&#8217;s really incredible to think that our baked goods have yielded more than $16,000 over the years. That [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last year&#8217;s Dole California Cook-Off was a little on the traumatizing side. It was supposed to be a cushy gig serving as sous chef to one of the finalists, but my partner Harold from Florida proved to be quite a handful (and then some). Needless to say, it was the longest hour of my life. [...]]]></description>

In celebration of the upcoming Lunar New Year, a small group of bloggers was invited to the company&#8217;s test kitchen to meet and greet Executive Chef Andy Kao (a.k.a The Creator of Orange Chicken) and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I think of gift giving as an opportunity to impose my values upon others, it should come as no surprise that my loved ones usually receive one of three things: a food-related book, a restaurant gift certificate, or something edible. I make adjustments here and there for those not as food oriented as me, [...]]]></description>

Even though the weather conditions were downright wintry by southern California standards, the turnout was strong and we raised over $3,700 for the Los Angeles Regional Foodbank. It&#8217;s awe-inspiring to think that our humble [...]]]></description>

To the uninitiated, these types of events are often viewed as lighthearted promotions meant to increase brand recognition. However, with lucrative prizes and thousands of dollars at [...]]]></description>

My television is cable-less, I drive a Camry, and my idea of a good time involves dinner and conversation, rather than booze and booty. Okay, maybe a little booty. [Wink, wink.]  However, I have my weaknesses. When it comes to sweets, I throw restraint out the [...]]]></description>
