Zurich’s Street Food Festival

I think San Francisco set the bar too high when it comes to eating out. There was so much variety in cuisine, a constant flow of new restaurants to try, high quality service, and reasonable prices. Zurich’s food scene seems to be slowly developing, but it just doesn’t even compare and I’m not sure it […]

Curried Cashews with Raisins

To me, free stuff is too good to pass up. I’ve always been the first to grab the goodie bag at an event, head straight for the free samples at Costco, and check out any free yoga class I can find. But the older and wiser I get, the more I’m realizing there is always a catch, and […]
