What's New

The People's Food Movement
Do you make a great salad dressing, sauce, cookie or other food product?  Have you ever thought that you should bottle (or box) it and sell it to stores?  Now is your chance.  The People's Food Movement is for people who love food, want to have their food items in stores nationwide, want someone else to do all the work, and want to get a big share of the profits.

In case you didn't know, Sally's Place is giving away cookbooks! Every month two lucky eNewsletter subscribers will win a free cookbook! Congratulations to the two September winners:

• Kamogelo D. K. from Botswana, Southern Africa wins Farmer's Market Cooking by Sally Ann Berk.

• Norma A. from McDonough, GA wins Baking Basics and Beyond by Pat Sinclair.

We received the following comment from Kimberly H. of Klamath Falls, Oregon, one of last month's cookbook winners: "Thank you so much for the book. I absolutely love it!!"

If you would also like to be eligible to win a free cookbook each month, and aren't already signed up to receive Sally's eNewsletter, via email, you can do so here.

New Articles

New Chocolate Article:

• "The Chocolate Chip Cookie: An American Icon," by Stephanie Zonis, shares a recipe for Orange Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies and reveals her "Chocolate Find of the Month."

New Restaurant Reviews:

• "San Jose, California, Restaurants," by Karen Petersen, takes us downtown, to Japantown, Valley Fair, Willow Glen, and Campbell.

• "Brooklyn, New York, Restaurants," by I Wang, showcases the fact that Brooklyn has become New Yorkers' new Manhattan. More and more people are discovering the borough's wonderful epicurean treasures. I. Wang shares ethnic spots to upscale steak houses.

• "Denver, Colorado, Restaurants," by Rita Connelly, showcases over 20 of Denver's "must try" spots.

New Wine Articles by Sara & Monty Preiser:

• "Mi Sueño is a Dream": Mi Sueño has taken its place as one of the premier wineries in California.

• "California Wine Finds" covers wines from Georis in Monterey County, and Eagle Eye, Markham Vineyards, Esser Vineyards and Jocelyn Lonen Winery in the Napa Valley.

• "Temecula is in its 'Teen Years'": a town of about 60,000 people approximately ninety minutes southwest of Los Angeles. Temecula has things to offer, including the old pioneering spirit of sharing, good will, and a never-say-die attitude. These qualities have allowed the growers and vintners to produce a great number of wines worth sampling now — in many cases not so much because they are presently great, but because of their potential. You'll find over sixty wineries in the area.

New Tea Article:

• "My Cup of Tea in Paris," by Anne Willan, of LaVarenne fame, includes recipes for Green Tea Milkshake, Indian Lassi, Red Wine Grog, and Tea-time Apple Juice.
