Every January the Winter Fancy Food Show descends on San Francisco, and thousands of booths and people fill the city’s vast convention center. It takes days to walk down every aisle and see and sample the latest drinks, snacks, gourmet foods, and ingredients. It’s the place to spot the food trends for the coming year: Is matcha still in? Is coconut water on its way out?
Both my feet and taste buds were completely worn out at the end of every visit, but I wouldn’t want to have been anywhere else. Here are some of my favorite offerings from this year’s show. (And yes, matcha is still very much in!)

I can’t tell you how many of my friends store their slow cookers on top of their upper cabinets. Sure, that space between the top of the cabinets and the ceiling would otherwise go wasted, but I can’t figure out why people think that is the place for a heavy and cumbersome electronic appliance.
I get that maybe these folks don’t use their slow cooker every day, or even every week, so it might not make the most sense to let it take up valuable real estate on the counter.
But there’s a better home for it!

The beauty of including cheese balls in your appetizer spread is their simplicity and ease of preparation. In fact, cheese balls don’t require a recipe so much as they do some good ingredient inspiration, while following a four-step assembly process. Even so, there are a few missteps that have the potential to stand in the way of making a cheese ball that’s a total win.

When you think of any Chinatown in any city in the country, the image that springs to mind is almost always of glistening, lacquered ducks hanging in the storefronts. (Whether those are Peking ducks or not is up for debate, but I digress.) Peking duck has long been one of the iconic Chinese dishes, and it’s easy to see why — the tableside preparation, the communal eating, the multiple courses, the pure deliciousness of it.

Like so many of you, I intend to work even more veggies into my meal plan this year. There will be more greens at breakfast and salads aplenty, but I’m also focused on another approach: incorporating vegetables into dessert. You see, veggies are super adaptable and many are full of natural sweetness that makes them a prime candidate to give sweet treats a wholesome boost.
