Cherries are in

On our San Francisco Food Tours, we talk a lot about eating locally and seasonally. The good news is that we are in cherry season. On our San Francisco Tours, we talk about how different foods have different tastes and subsequently should be paired with other foods. For example, on our San Francisco Food Tours we try different olive oils and compare the flavors. When cheeries first come into season, we first get the sour cherry, which are great for pies but not too good for eating. A couple weeks we get the bing and rainier cherries, which are perfect for eating. On our San Francisco Tours, we always talk about the importance of trusting your what you like. That's a good reason to go down to the farmers market and see what you like. On our San Francisco Food Tours, we learn how foods should be complex, rather than one-dimensional. For example,when we have coffee on our San Francisco Tours, we taste how the coffee has complexity. Fresh foods have more complexity, because the natural sugars are still there.
