The San Diego Press Club held its 38th annual journalism awards in October. I received three awards this year:
First place in the Magazine: Education category for my piece for Edible San Diego called “The Magic of Olivewood Gardens”
Second place in the Magazine: Food & Restaurant category for my piece for Edible San Diego called “Home [...]

I’m happy to say that my first story for Saveur Magazine has just been published. “Green Gold” is the featured “Source” piece and highlights the magnificent avocado oil produced in San Diego County by Cid da Silva under the name Bella Vado Avocado Oil. This has been a very long time coming and it’s so [...]

Check out the September issue of San Diego Magazine and you’ll find my new Local Bounty column. And, today, the editors launched the weekly blog version on the magazine’s website. Both versions will cover the best of the markets, interesting new cookbooks, and innovative food products produced by our local artisans. Visit often and let [...]

Check out the August 2010 issue of San Diego Magazine. It’s their Best of San Diego issue. Surprise! San Diego Foodstuff is included (on page 71) in their best  local bloggers round-up! I’m in good company with my friends Kirk of mmm-yoso, Katie Dillon of Lajollamom.com, and Angela Carone of CultureLust.
I’ll be joining San Diego [...]

Serendipity is a wonderful thing. Just as the door to SDNN closed for me and many others, new San Diego Magazine senior editor Erin Chambers Smith opened her door. She invited me to write a new column for the magazine and its website called Local Bounty. I’ll be doing weekly posts and a monthly magazine [...]

This week has been hugely anticipated — by the members of Cooks Confab, by the participants in the events they’re putting on this week, and by those of us interested in sustainable seafood.

It’s been frantic around here–all good stuff–but little time to pull rabbits out of hats in terms of writing on this page. But, I have some updates:

I’ll be on the KPBS radio show These Days on Tuesday, April 20 from 10 to 11 a.m. to talk about vegetarian food with chefs Trey Foshee and Deborah [...]

Four Awards From San Diego Press Club

Posted October 21st, 2009 by Caron. Comment (0).

Last night’s San Diego Press Club Journalism Awards has been on my mind for months now. I was on the organizing committee, tasked with rounding up restaurants for our dinner at the Hall of Champions. I hadn’t thought much about actually winning any awards, although I had certainly sent in entries and learned that I’d [...]

I did my monthly food hour on These Days with host Maureen Cavanaugh on Oct. 5, talking about San Diego’s wonderful ethnic markets. Chef Trey Foshee of George’s at the Cove joined us.
We covered a lot of territory, and there were listener requests on the These Days website asking for a list of the markets [...]

I was on KPBS radio’s These Days this morning with writer Maureen Clancy. Our topic was memorable meals and we really hit a nerve with the audience. It made us realize how much food–from cherished dishes made by parents and grandparents to street food, to a simple breakfast or extravagant five-course meal–can stay with you [...]
