Cochon Heritage Fire in Napa on August 13th was an Epicuring extravaganza for lovers of heritage meats, with sweaty chefs, hot fires and great wines and beers.

U-Pick Farms in Brentwood from End of May thru Sept
By Laiko at May 15, 2011 | 3:39 am |
By Carrie Sullivan, Epicurator I start looking forward to fruit-picking season in the fall – about 8 months before any of the fruit I love is ready! Call me obsessed. My favorite go-to area is Brentwood, located about 50 miles east of Oakland and Berkeley in East Contra Costa County. While I don’t exactly relish the drive to Brentwood, I have certainly found ways

Summer Culinary Camps for Kids/Teens – What if…kids could change how they eat by living what they learn?
By Victoria at May 12, 2011 | 11:34 pm |
By Victoria Rabiner, Epicurator If you listen carefully for the inspiration behind almost every “grown-up” chef, home cook or foodie, you’ll hear a kids voice and a story about childhood connection to food – either in the kitchen with mom, grandma, on the family farm or in a family-owned restaurant. Like sponges, kids soak up their surroundings, learning

By Susie at May 4, 2011 | 4:34 am |
We were delighted by Aida Mollenkamp's Top 11 Spots for Bay Area Foodies, from Bay Area Bites. It seems we have good "food think" (like group think, only more filling). We heartily love each place on her list and thought we'd round it up to 25, with 14 more spots from the Epicuring team: [caption id="" align="alignright" width="240" caption="From the Frog Hollow

A Perfect Epicuring Food Tour of Berkeley
By Susie at April 21, 2011 | 2:02 pm |
{made to print / phone and take it with you} Since before the fire and before the big one, I've called Berkeley home, and a big part of that is the food scene. Not a going out to restaurants scene, but a mix of food factories, artisans, and joints that make me happy. Recently I took some visitors from Spain on my "perfect food tour of Berkeley," which became more

On the Cheese Trail in West Marin
By Epicuring at April 16, 2011 | 2:33 am |
We traveled to Pt. Reyes Station to see what we could learn about local producers, with an intended visit to Pt. Reyes Station and Cowgirl Creamery, one of the stars of artisan cheesemaking in West Marin. However, on the way as we cruised Nicasio Valley road, I bumped and bruised my fellow passengers in the car by skidding to a stop at an unassuming little farm stand
