Remember how there used to book giveaways and contests on this site? Well come back tomorrow and there will be another one! I will be giving away 10 paperback copies of a book that was chosen as a Notable Book of the Year by The New York Times Book Review. I have been passing my copy around to friends and family ever since I finished reading it. It has one of the best titles ever.
I am just back from a long weekend in Florida where I attended the International Mango Festival. I learned a lot about mangoes and will be posting an "All About Mangoes" post very soon. In the meantime I have posted some of my favorite photos from the weekend over at Flickr.
A funny coincidence--my review of Cafe Majestic went up on Friday and on Sunday, Michael Bauer's review was in the San Francisco Chronicle. You can read both and compare if you like. I think we were generally in agreement about the place.
I have really been enjoying reading all those comments about traditional versus non-traditional breakfasts. You have even given me some good ideas to try. Keep 'em coming!

- Books To Give And Get
Sometimes when I review a book I keep it. Other times I give it away. Recently a couple of books that I reviewed fell into that second category. First off a pocket version of Patricia Unterman's San Francisco Food Lover's Guide. This is the...

Vinography.com readers may have noticed that Alder has started to run book reviews written by guest contributors. When our mutual friend Tim Patterson, the book review editor, asked if I wanted to contribute, I decided to review the wine book I was reading...
