Posted in Opinion with tags Chef Tom, DBAWIS, Segarini. DBAWIS, Snack Time on April 10, 2021 by segariniFrom the NY Times:
A slice of this berry-dotted cake is perfect late in the morning, for afternoon tea or after dinner, with coffee. It keeps for up to three days in a sealed container, but is at its absolute best on the day it’s made.
I have a freezer full of blueberries and a hankering for something rich and sweet. I’ll be making this over the weekend. Likely it’ll be gone-gone by Monday. Continue reading

I know, an April Fools baby. Explains a lot, really. I am counting on nine people being fully inoculated by then (three of us already are, including me), that we’re all on a sunny patio in lovely San Carlos drinking beautiful wine and eating multiple tasty courses over a four hour gathering. I’ve already started the menu.
Here are four highly recommended dishes (these are starters) from my foodiverse.
Thought I’d give you a taste.

Thanks to all.
A Note to Chef Tom from the Editor – Grateful to have you here …and this recipe has my name written all over it. Thank YOU!
I have a supper club that’s been going for over fifteen years with about twelve to fifteen cooking enthusiasts. Having it on Zoom is weird, but we’ve been doing it since the beginning. Each meal has a different theme, which is usually a country, or a region of a country. We’ve been around the world a few times. Once we even did Nepal, Bhutan and Tibet.
Chef Tom – Wangs!

Super Bowl Sunday. No Buffalo (wings or team – sorry Bill’s fans). I know this is late in the game, so to speak, but if you can pull one or two of these finger-lickin’ recipes together before the kick-off, go for it.
Your fans will rush the field. Continue reading
Chef Tom’s Char Sui
Posted in Food, music, Recipe with tags Bob Segarini, Char Sui, Chef Tom, DBAWIS, Don't Believe a Word I Say, San Francisco, The HU on January 30, 2021 by segariniThis might look complicated, but it isn’t. The marinade comes together easily, is nicely complex, and the oven/broiler combo means you don’t need a grill. Steam up some fluffy rice and sauté a mess of your favorite (Chinese) greens, and you have a delicious, warming meal. The key is in the pre-scoring. Make deep slashes with your knife (not all the way through) to create lots and lots of surfaces to get the pork crispy and caramelized. Continue reading
Chef Tom – Breakfast Anytime, Anywhere
Posted in Family, Food, life, Opinion, Recipe, Review with tags Bob Segarini, Breakfast anytime, Chef Tom, DBAWIS, Don't Believe a Word I Say, Food, Inauguration Music and Poem, San Francisco, Turkish Eggs on January 23, 2021 by segariniThey call it comfort food for good reason. Anything you put in your mouth by way of inducing serenity, damping pesky feelings of fear, or as a temporary distraction from the day’s anxiety, qualifies. Be it sweet or savory. What is your favorite sensation? Creamy? Fatty? Crunchy? Sweet? An enticingly satisfactory, calming combination of all of it?
Depending on the mood that has me in its grip, I like savory. Something unctuous. Filling. Sinful, even. I’ll whip up an omelet with cream, eggs, and a sharp cheese. Or sweet, like toasting a big slab of multigrain, then slathering it with plenty of full-fat butter PLUS a schmear of crunchy peanut butter PLUS a generous dollop of tangy marmalade (or one of my favorites, a lavish drizzle of Lyle’s Golden Syrup).
You catch my drift. Following are three indulgent recipes for (technically) breakfast that can be eaten at any time of the day or night, especially when there is a need for solace; for luxury; for ease.
