		<description><![CDATA[   Chef Mei Ibach of Eight Cuisine &#38; Wine in Sebastopol  has been making lots of these Vietnamese crepes in the new year for her family and friends. The crepe batter is made with rice flour and coconut milk,  so it is nice and light but filling enough for brunch or dinner.        Feel free to substitute  filling ingredients.  For a slightly heavier crepe, use a blend of sausages, mushrooms and crabmeat. For a lighter crepe, throw in some sliced, seasonal veggies like&#8230; <a href="http://kitchentalk.blogs.pressdemocrat.com/11005/lighten-up-with-savory-saigon-crepes/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[   As soon as the barometric pressure starts plummeting and the clouds scud across the sky, there’s only one thing to do:  get out the braising pot and make a big batch of comfort food.      You can always roast a chicken and recycle it into a chicken pot pie (using ready-made puff pastry, to save time). Or slow-cook a pork shoulder, then reinvent it as a yummy, pork hash the next day, and the next.     But when I’m&#8230; <a href="http://kitchentalk.blogs.pressdemocrat.com/11000/find-comfort-in-a-steaming-bowl-of-spaghetti-and-meatballs/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>

No sloshing, no dripping, no bags of  ice to keep the whole thing cold in a cooler.  Just slide the turkey into your&#8230; <a href="http://kitchentalk.blogs.pressdemocrat.com/10994/dry-brined-turkey/">Read More &#187;</a>]]></description>
