Top 10 Favourite Food Memories of 2005
#1 The orgasmic burnt caramel pot de creme at Zuni Cafe. Blindfold me and feed me this scrumptious dessert. I didn't actually say it's better than sex. But it's close.
Nine other examples of deliciousness from the year 2005 after the jump...
#2 The Fatted Calf saucisson sec and other meaty goods to get your chops around..
#3 Meeting dozens of fellow food bloggers in the Bay Area, London and Paris.
#4 Discovering the best soft drink inthe world: Fizzy Lizzy Pink grapefruit soda - no corn syrup or added sugar. Way to go!
#5 Oola's ribs - they were no longer on the menu last time we checked. Boo, hoo, hoo. I am placated, only slightly, by the fact that the recipe for them appears in the current issue of Food & Wine
#6 David Liebovitz in Paris: He wants me to marry him.
# 7 Having models pose for my blog: From Ireland, my niece and nephew, Mollie & Ben, show the whole world how to make Mars Bar Cake and they've been getting hundreds of hits ever since.
#8 Going for lunch with both my mother and my grandmother, in Gloucestershire, England.
#9 Tabla in Marin for making me actually want to eat salad and then blowing me away with the best chocolate brownies in the world.
#10 The generosity of the food and blogging community for getting together to raise over $21K to help earthquake relief in Pakistan and India. It was an incredible achievement by everyone involved and proves beyond any doubt, that blogging is an important force in the world.
May I raise a glass and propose a toast to lots more yumminess in 2006. Happy new Year All...
