Holm Family Cookbook

I live in the boonies, the San Francisco Chronicle doesn't even deliver out to my neck of the woods, so I do a lot of searching online for recipes, restaurant recommendations, foodie updates, etc. Here are few of the media websites located in Northern California that are easy to navigate with more foodie information than you can shake a stick at….

The East Bay Express, has some great restaurant reviews, here's one of my favorites on "A Sampler of Barbecue Styles." 

Another favorite in the Bay Area is Dining Around with Gene Burns on KGO radio. We actually were one of Gene’s guests when we launched our cookbook, quite an adventure for us country folk! A current blog subject is “Recipes to keep you warm,” I could use that on this dreary, cold, gray Sunday.

Our friend Courtney Townsend posted a Hoppin’ John recipe and story this week in the San Francisco Sentinel.

I always enjoy the “Cheap Eats” story in Diablo Magazine.

Our sister Susie has had a number of recipes published in the Lodi News-Sentinel food section. This week there is news of the new California Street Pub opening in Lodi, sounds like fun to me! You can also visit the pub virtually on their facebook page.

A somewhat new phenomenon, yelp, has plenty of personal restaurant reviews, but remember that these are just one man’s opinion. yelp is often a restaurateur’s nightmare if someone on their staff was having a bad day, please don’t take an individual "yelp" too seriously.

SFGate, home of the The San Francisco Chronicle provides recipes, restaurant reviews from the pro's and the readers, food and wine event guide, bargain bites and much more. Here’s a Farm Granola recipe from Frog Hollow (they grow the sweetest and juiciest organic peaches in the world!).

Mangia!
