		<description><![CDATA[Photo by David Monniaux …a bit of trivia, a discussion I go through with many cookbook editors as I try to massage our language: &#8220;Kaffir&#8221; was, historically, a word used in South Africa to refer to dark-skinned peoples. It differentiated the SE Asian limes grown in Indonesia (where the native Austronesian tribes had dark skin [...]]]></description>

Kevin Blum from The City Dish, Marcia Gagliardi from tablehopper.com, Nish Nadaraja from Yelp, and Pim Techamuanvivit from Chez Pim will share their insights on how online communities have changed the landscape of the restaurant world.

Several of my photos ended up appearing in a colorful montage. A couple of photos from my visit to the Stockton Gurdwara [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[As we draw smaller and smaller circles around our food community, we often forget the power of recipes to connect us to each other. Nancy&#8217;s â€œBenz Cakeâ€ recipes in her baker&#8217;s shorthand. Recipes in the personal sense. I&#8217;m not talking about the results of a keyword search or a formula in that latest best-selling cookbook, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s that time of the year again when I wish I had a garden. Little pots on a fire escape give me regular sprigs of thyme and shiso and, if I&#8217;m feeling ambitious, I might harvest handfuls of Sweet 100s. It&#8217;s nothing, however, like watching tiny pea shoots unfurl into astonishing vines or digging up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Cookbooks offer a special challenge for information design, as their pages must suceed at both seduction and instruction, luring and reassuring their readers. Bookstore shelves may bend from the weight of gorgeous, glossy tomes, yet home cooks are still increasingly kitchen-phobic. How do writers, artists and designers work together to produce pretty pages with error-proof recipes? Such were the issues we tried to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The APE returned to San Francisco last week. With hundreds of artists, writers and publishers of alternative, self-published, hand-made comics showing their latest work, I knew my one-day pass (even with its snazzy ball chain) wouldn&#8217;t give me enough time. Fortunately, I had a singular mission: Find the food.Four hours and a pocketful of cash later, my arms were overflowing with goodies.Below [...]]]></description>
