					<description><![CDATA[Like a rags to riches tale, San Francisco&#8217;s Saison restaurant began as modestly as it gets. In 2009, it began as a pop-up after hours in a Mission District cafe before its ensuing runaway success led to its relocation to a custom build-out brick building in SoMa, where it has held court with two coveted Michelin stars since 2019.

					<description><![CDATA[Yup, that&#8217;s right: &#8220;Roast Chicken and Rice Casserole&#8221; is the name of this dish. It sounds so basic. But it is so far from that. The title might make you think of an old-school Americana dish. But it&#8217;s really one with a delicious Chinese flair to it with coconut milk enriching the rice, and lemongrass and ginger perfuming everything. This]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[2024 Cadre Beautiful Stranger With the temperatures soaring shockingly high this month, I couldn&#8217;t wait to open a bottle of something chilled, and loaded with citrus and minerality. That it came bearing a beguiling name just sealed the deal. I&#8217;m talking about a sample bottle I received of the 2024 Cadre Beautiful Stranger of which you&#8217;ll definitely want to make]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In the world of cookbooks, &#8220;Citrus, Illustrated&#8221; (Chronicle Books) takes up little space. This compact cookbook, of which I received a review copy, is the size of my outstretched hands and contains all of 35 recipes. So, in this wisp of a book that spotlights citrus of all sorts, I felt it only appropriate that I hone in on the]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[At Cupertino&#8217;s Safar by Karimi, you&#8217;ll find delicious North Indian and Pakistani dishes, as well as a sleek bar with modern chandeliers. But what you won&#8217;t find is beer, wine or any alcohol. Or any pork for that matter. That&#8217;s because the restaurant, which opened last December, is halal. While it doesn&#8217;t explicitly spell that out on the menu or]]></description>
