San Francisco Sightseeing Articles

As the plane lands in San Francisco, one of my favorite food cities, I strike the ground running. I am only here for a few days.

I head on the way to Chinatown walking through the produce markets, medicinal basil vendors and stalls jammed with safe to eat ingredients I don't know. Each time I visit the street markets, their landscape is different, reflecting fresh seasonal ingredients.

Now it is snow pea shoot season. These beautiful emerald leaves are the young shoots from snow pea bushes, and I expect they will appear on many neighborhood menus. They taste much like spinach but sweeter.
