Leda’s cupcakes — going… going… Oct 18th, 2008
Wednesday, October 1, 2008 12:14 No CommentsHey everyone - I was just at Leda’s Bake Shop (Sherman Oaks) on Friday and found out that Ledette is planning to close down and re-think her bakery. She mentioned re-opening in the New Year and *no more cupcakes*!!! (too labor intensive)
SO - the very last day you can walk in and get [...]
D’Caché — Latin Fusion cuisine & lively music
Friday, July 25, 2008 11:57 2 CommentsStep inside this restored 1928 Spanish mission-style cottage, located on Riverside in Toluca Lake, and you might think you’ve been transported to somewhere in the exotic Spanish or Latin American countryside. D’Caché is a lively restaurant where they serve modern Latin-fusion cuisine, tapas and fine wines and great drinks. Try a fresh Columbian mojito made [...]
Healthyca’s New Menu – also Press Panini – NoHo/Studio City
Wednesday, June 25, 2008 14:09 16 CommentsOkay, I don’t usually get excited about sandwiches. They’re not really my… thing. It’s not that I avoid bread or anything, it’s just that I tend to prefer my carbs in pasta form, or as roasted or fried potatoes.
So —
you’ve gotta appreciate it when I go nuts about this new sandwich I tried.

Prana Café — Studio City
Monday, June 2, 2008 20:40 No CommentsA sister restaurant to the one on La Cienega, and situated beneath Romanov Restaurant, Prana Café is a welcome addition to Studio City (even if some of us miss the Albano’s Pizzeria place it supplanted).

Best Behavior at Sushi Nozawa
Monday, October 22, 2007 18:13 5 CommentsOne of my dearest friends, DK, knows about my foodblogging. He has never had a problem with me taking photos of food when we go out. He has never once complained about how I blabber on endlessly about ingredients with servers. He is even sometimes amused by how I order food at [...]
Mezzomondo Trattoria — a place I want to call ‘home’
Monday, July 23, 2007 12:32 4 CommentsI’m not sure I should even be writing this review. As far as I’m concerned, Mezzomondo Trattoria, with its cosy neighborhood vibe and its fantastic fresh and simple northern Italian cuisine, is the best kept secret in Studio City. I love being able to cruise in and snag my favorite table at lunchtime (though for [...]
Artisan Cheese Gallery - outstanding cheeses in Studio City
Friday, July 13, 2007 16:23 19 CommentsI love cheese. No, wait - I adore cheese. I don’t mean that rubbery, bland molten and stringy stuff you generally find on pizzas, nor that weird orange stuff you find melted inside a quesadilla. Don’t offer me a highly processed slice of square, plastic-wrapped plastic ‘cheese’ unless you want to [...]
