 Liquid Gold
We loved San Francisco Chronicle staff writer Olivia Wu's wonderful article about California Olive Oils. It includes tips on how to match an oil to a specific dish or cooking technique, how to decipher the terms on labels, and a list of places where you can find California olive oils.
Shanti Wilson and the Chronicle Food staff also conducted a blind tasting of everyday, olio nuevo and boutique California olive oils. Here are their top picks — and a list of those oils that didn't make the cut.
 Rebuilding Palestine
The Right to a Home and a Homeland Global Campaign is a coordinated,
international movement to rebuild Palestinian homes and Middle East peace through strategic Palestinian and Israeli cooperation.
Check out the great work they're doing — and the many ways you can help.
JANUARY 2004
 Modern Middle Eastern Cooking
Traditional baba ghanoush requires roasting an eggplant for 30 to 40 minutes. In this microwave version developed by popular San Francisco Chronicle staff writer Tara Duggan, the eggplant cooks in just 8 to 10 minutes. We've tested this recipe, and it's great!
For yet one more reason why we subscribe to the Chronicle, check out The New Halal, a feature article by staff writer Carol Ness. It includes a handy list of halal restaurants and grocery stores in the Bay Area.
Making a Difference
 With just a click of your mouse, sponsors of the Hunger Site will donate food to a person in need. They will also provide you with the opportunity to fund free mammograms, support children's health, save the Rain Forest, and feed a hungry animal. It's free, it's easy — there's no excuse not to do it!
