"For eight years, Julia Watson, a freelance writer from London, recorded her favorite Washington food finds on the backs of bus transfers and shopping receipts. Six months ago her scrawled notes about everything from baked beans to bison, Polish doughnuts to Persian pastries and gingerbread to ginger beer reached critical mass. With thoughts of "passing on the food discoveries that have enriched my life here" she decided to construct a Web site...She lists favored farm markets and cooking classes and offers helpful food facts. You want to grow your own lemon grass? Apparently, it's easy. Make vanilla sugar and extract? Pickled garlic? It's there." Walter Nicholls, Washington Post
