Your favorite recipes created by Tim and Ruth can be found under "Demo Recipes" to the right.

And stop by and take a look at Tim's Food Blog. It's fun reading about fun food.

In 2005, we challenged people from the bay area (and all over the world) to eat within a 100 mile radius of their home for the month of August.

In 2006 we would like to extend that challenge to the month of May. What food grows in your region in the springtime? Let's eat and find out....
