I definitely have lots of updates for you, it took me a while to organize everything..So let me show you some of my highlights of fooding in California!
And let me tell you, I could easily live in San Franncisco Bay area, it is absolutely wonderful. I found the San Franicisco very European and I loved the fact that it's so clean. I was eating out almost every day and today I'll show you a little bit from Alice Water's restaurant Chez Panisse and Tartine bakery.

The Chez Panisse restaurant was fabulous! If you are in the area, make sure you go. I went for lunch at the cafe not the restaurant and it was a lot cheaper, but the food was excellent. Meu changes daily and they have their own garden. I support Alice Water 100% and I am glad that there is still someone who invests into local, seasonal, and organic food produce.
p.s - The kitchen totally reminded me at the one in Ratatouille movie! Stunning!







And this is the Tartine bakery which has opened in 2002 by a couple that graduated from the Culinary Institute and now they run this amazing bakery. Their baked goods are very presentable, rustic, and veeeery tasty! I would definitely have something like that in the future.
They also have a cookbook which is featuring all of the items from the bakery.
