Very interesting link - I've never heard of this magazine before - it seems a local magazine to the Bakersfield, California area. I saw some interesting recipes that I plan to read over and try. Thanks for the link. Which is your article? Congratulations - it's fun to see your work in print.

Thank you, sky'. The recipes posted are part of my column- just condensed for web purposes.

Nice job, Miles. Is that your photography, as well? Very professional looking.

nice ! is cooking one of your hobbies also ? have you been to all those restaurants ?

I want to try those savory chicken meatballs and the lemon bread pudding.

Yes, organic', I do my own food styling and photography. Thank you for the kind compliments.
mitch- I write a regular column on food and food culture/entertaining. In doing so I do get to go to all those restaurants and chat up the owners/managers/patrons. Learn about the history of the older restaurants and the challenges they face during uncertain economic times. I also get to share my experience at cooking and entertaining while experimenting and having fun.
The chicken meatballs are an absolute favorite of mine and I've made them a gazillion times (that's a lot).

miles - have you ventured over to the Cooking Forum? I love it there. You would fit right in - serious foodies - exceptional photography - recipes, food gossip!!
You will have to continue on the Dec Forum also - just another side to the GW

nice job, miles! I loved all the details and tips for the recipes..thanks! my tummy is growling after reading about all the good food!

Very nice, Miles! Thanks for sharing.
The pics and descriptions are droolworthy.
I'm going to have to give the chicken meatballs a try - they sound delicious.

Very cool Miles!

Looks like a lot of fun recipes and the layouts are very yummy looking.

The chicken meatballs are TO DIE FOR! I make them almost weekly now. I love how they can be used for everything, dinner one night, sliced for cold sandwiches the next day, dropped in soup... all sorts of things.

What a wonderful job you have. Don't you just love it?
