Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:
I. No one captures summer quite like famed photographer Gray Malin. Whether he’s posting aerial shots of seaside communities around the world or Instagrams of his signature sprinkle-rimmed airplane cocktails, Gray’s pictures are consistently flawless. The second I learned of his first coffee table book BEACHE...
Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:
I. I naively imagined that once the two galas I chaired this month were over, I would have tons of free time… The thing about starting a company is that you neverhave tons of free time - you just learn to live on less and less sleep. After using my hectic schedule as an excuse to subsist almost entirely on...

I. It’s official - T&T is brick and mortar. When I started this blog seven years ago while studying for the bar exam, I had no clue what was in store. The impetus behind the blog was to help people navigate the kitchen by taking complicated recipes and making them more accessible. Two-hundred-and-fifty posts...
Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:I. Despite a few scattered showers over the weekend, the sunshine is back to stay - which put me in the mood for light dinner fare this week. One of my absolute favorite fish recipes is Herb Roasted Salmon- so delicious and palatably complex you’ll have no idea you’re actually eating healthy food. All that...
Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:I. With Cinco de Mayo on the horizon this week, I’m making Brown Sugar Shrimp Tacos with Honey Habanero Slaw. The recipe is my version of the delicious tacos at South Beach Bar & Grille in San Diego. Surprisingly healthy, the hardest part of the dish is chopping the components of the slaw – making it perfect...
Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:I. Ever since spending last weekend in Tomales Bay, I’ve been on a major shellfish kick. Reminded of my favorite Michael Mina lobster dish, I decided to make my Lobster Pot Pierecipe tonight for dinner with my mom. To simplify the process, I use store-bought bisque as a base and lobster tails from the fish...
Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:I. Oh my goodness, it’s hot. The heat wave that’s slammed the city was welcome over the weekend while I was eating oysters and sipping cucumber gimlets, but now that I’m stuck in an air-conditionless showroom, I’m wishing that Karl the Fog would make his comeback. To beat the heat tonight, I’m making one of...
Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:I. This morning, the logo that I designed two years ago was transformed into vinyl signage and installed in the Table + Teaspoon showroom window. When I started my cooking blog in 2009, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that T&T would turn into a full-fledged company and occupy space on Market Street. As...
Infusing grandeur into otherwise drab Mondays with five things/ideas/events for the week:I. Over the weekend, I moved into my showroom on Market Street in San Francisco. To say that I’m thrilled is an egregious understatement. There isn’t an ounce of doubt that I couldn’t have pulled this off without the support of friends and family (particularly those who carried heavy boxes of dishware and...
