Favorites List (October 2011) Recipe

I'm wondering if you have any favorites that have to do with the La Jolla/San Diego area. I'll be traveling there this weekend and wanted to know if there were specialty foods to seek out around there.
HS: Hi Carol - I haven't spent much time exploring San Diego recently, but my favorite place to visit when I was living there in college was the Salk Institute in La Jolla near the UCSD campus. For the architecture/view.

Hello, I so enjoy your site. I wonder if it would be easier for users to click back and forth between your page and your Favorites above if the links could open in a new tab? Once I've seen one, of course, I want to come back and explore the rest of your list!
HS: Hi Amy, on my Mac I press the command (propeller) key when I click on a link, that will open the link in a new tab :)

Love the video of Ottolenghi! Inspiring list, as always, Heidi, and so much fun to browse when i should be doing work! :)

Hi Heidi I have your super natural cooking book and decided to make the cauliflower soup as we have an abundant supply of cauls at the moment being spring. I followed the receipe which I very rarely do, until the puree part, I added half an avocado while blending then grated some nutmeg when serving and I must say it was the best caulflower soup I have eaten to date tasted. I avocado just added a little more creaminess tothe soup. Lovely. Am going to try all the receipes in the book.

Hi Heidi - loved the Yotam Ottolenghi video and loving cookbooks as I do, it was nice to get a sneak peak at what was sitting on his bookshelf too!
HS: Me too Kate! I love it when you're able to catch a glimpse of a cook's bookshelf :)

Doug October 24, 2011 I think you should add your leek soup. Made it the other day during one of our first brisk fall days and my freehand said, its so good

I like the fantasy real estate listing...this really cracked me up!

LOVE Murakami. Can't wait for the new book to come out tomorrow.

The book of Tarkovsky Polaroids is one of my favorite things.

Always love your favorite list, gives me so much energy,inspiration and enthu -xoxo

Your favorites lists make me smile :) The spinach cake looks amazing! Reminds me of a meal my hubby and I had on our honeymoon at an oasis in Egypt.

So fun; I love your favorites posts...they're so uplifting! xo

Heidi, Thank you for including Hungry Ghost in your October favorites post! I am honored, as I adore your blog! Have a great day! Andrea
HS: Such a huge fan of yours Andrea - love visiting your site.

I think you should add your leek soup. Made it the other day during one of our first brisk fall days and my wife said, "Damn that's good." And it was.
HS: Thanks for the reminder Doug - teeing up for soup season for sure!

That spinach cake sounds magical! I like the look of those crackers too. Thanks!

This time of year is certainly special -- the array of colors are a feast for my eyes...my good friend who farms just dropped by a bag full of a variety of squashes, including my favorite delicatta, so I'm excited to get chopping and roasting and pureeing, too. Inspiration boards are always so intriguing to me...thanks for sharing yours! And all of your favorites...it's a fun way to learn about new things!

I. LOVE. the look your vision board (?) has. Vintage, soft, pale.... SICK. In a good way. Why can't we hang out?
HS: Thanks Bev. :)

Thanks for sharing your October Favorites List! I really enjoyed the illustrations at kokblog-- so simple and yet refreshingly enjoyable. Also Cynthia Rowley and her children could not be cuter.

Loving the updated inspiration board and can't wait to see more photos. I want to bake that spinach cake too-wow! Thanks for sharing all these fun links.

I love seeing your inspiration board!

Your favorite list is simply amazing!!! THANKS for all the inspiration!!!

Yay another favorites list! :) Can't wait to try that spinach cake recipe - it looks so unique and delicious. Thanks for sharing!

I always enjoy you favorites list. Ottolenghi's clip was touching and the title says all. My favorite season, autumn, has come and I love everything in this season! Thank you for sharing the great list.

I love it when you post your linky lists. I go on a happy little clickfest which I am about to do...now....

Since my favorite Kashi crackers got a "tastier crunch," I'm in the market for a new cracker in my life. The Knäckebröd Crackers look pretty good and a whole lot cheaper than buying packages of crackers anyway.

Love your Favorites Lists! You're such an inspiration. bkr is awesome.

Hmmm Wafu dressing! I'm a big fan of the ginger Japanese style dressing on pretty much all of my salads, all the time.

I love this time of year! So many beautiful gourds to roast and make into something special!! We have to enjoy the cool breezes and golden afternoons while they last. Blizzard season is coming soon in my neck of the woods :), Miriam
