Cooking with Clive

Clive found boldfood.com on blogcatalog and requested to be a friend, which isn’t uncommon in and of itself, but after checking out his career, one of his videos (with a great tip!), and his Website, Cooking with Clive, I’m happy to pump up his site! Clive has been training to be a world-class chef since he was a young child. He’s made it, although he’s not as well known as many of the others.
Starbucks Trips Over Tips
March 21, 2008 by Bold Foodie · Leave a Comment
Already shrinking Starbucks took another blow when Superior Court Judge Patricia Cowett sided with 100,000 current and former baristas that sued the coffee chain to reclaim over $85 million worth of tips that Starbucks had shared with it’s shift supervisors in CA locations over many years. Starbucks was ordered to pay back $87 million in tips and another $19 million in interest. Not an insignificant amount of money!
The law states fairly clearly that tips are not to be shared with supervisors and management. The employer is responsible for paying supervisors and management staff and tips are to be shared amongst mom-management staff. For more: Starbucks Trips Over Tips.
New Foodie Links Page

Check out our new foodie links page with hundreds of links to the more popular foodie Websites online. Compiling the list took many hours and a lot of Web surfing. Hopefully you’ll spot some familiar stomping grounds and some new sites to stomp on over to as well.
If you have a foodie site and would like us to consider adding it we’ll require that your site has some traffic (per the Alexa toolbar) and that you add a link back to our site from somewhere on your’s.
As for the sites listed…, we were particularly amazed at how many forums there are for foodies of all flavors, as well as, the enormous number of blogs! It begs to question how anyone finds time to cook after all that blogging.
Pebble Beach Food & Wine – Mar 27th to Mar 30th
March 15, 2008 by Bold Foodie · Leave a Comment
The 1st annual Pebble Beach Food & Wine 4 day event is billed as the culinary event of a lifetime. With the investment that’s gone into making this premier luxury epicurean event involving over 50 award winning chefs plus 300 wineries it very well could be a once in a lifetime event for some.
Some of the top companies in the culinary trade are sponsors including Fortessa (leading tableware company), Kitchenaid, Valrhona (chocolate), and many other world class companies involved in the fine dining marketplace.
If you’re like me and only able to window shop this one check out their Website. After the event I hope to have some pics and video to provide. Should be the first of many annual Pebble Beach Food & Wine events.

A complete how-to video on how to make Thai Satay. Can cook with chicken, pork or beef. It’s not difficult and most people will enjoy the bold flavor. I really like the Thai woman doing the teaching.
Jamie Oliver Close Up
February 9, 2008 by Bold Foodie · Leave a Comment
This visit with Jamie Oliver by New Zealand TV gives us a glimpse into what makes this special chef unique. His garden is to die for and has provided inspiration for me to give my own garden a try once again. He offers some important advice on how to put together a great salad as he effortlessly pulls together what is certainly a delicious and unique salad.
Even more special then his food is his heart. In 2002, he combined his two ambitions: to open a top class restaurant and to give disadvantaged youngsters a chance to gain professional culinary training. Five years later, Fifteen is still achieving both, improving and expanding all the time.
Above: One of the fifteen success stories.
Jamie Oliver doing what he loves.

This is not your mom’s spaghetti! Although I don’t like anchovies (understatement of the day!) the fact that he adds some in this bold recipe doesn’t scare me one bit. Looks absolutely delicious and costs practically nothing to make. Give it a try and let us know how it goes.
