17th
Annual Ghirardelli Chocolate Festival
It's a total
chocolate weekend in store, noon to 5 p.m. Sept. 8-9, when the 17th Annual Ghirardelli
Chocolate Festival rolls into San Francisco's Ghirardelli
Square.
Take part in an ice cream
eating contest, in which contestants will have to down a famous
Ghirardelli "Earthquake Sundae." Join the chocolate scavenger
hunt. Watch chef demonstrations. And enjoy the first ever festival
bake-off with treats made from Ghirardelli products.
The chocolate
extravaganza is a benefit for Project Open Hand, which provides meals to
those who are homebound.
Last year, $63,000 was
raised.
Tickets are $20 each,
which will get you 15 samples.

Cause on Sept. 14 at West Valley Community Services in
Los Gatos.

Tabouleh with a
Twist
In summer, I can practically live on tabouleh, that Middle
Eastern bulgar salad tossed with copious amounts of parsley, mint,
oregano, onion, lemon juice and tomatoes.
But even when playing
favorites, you sometimes need to mix it up a little for a change of pace.
Such was the case when I
spotted this recipe for "Tabouleh with Quinoa, Corn, Scallion and
Goat Cheese" in the cookbook, "Home
Made" (Stewart, Tabori & Chang), of which I
received a review copy.
Click here
for the recipe and my cooking notes.
Here's another
recipe for late summer produce, this time it's for nectarines.
