About
Welcome to my humble home on the worldwide web. I’m a thirty-something food fanatic who’s always hungry and seriously addicted to buying cookbooks. I’ve jumped on the blogging bandwagon so that I can finally make a dent on my “Recipes-to-try” list. These recipes are not only from my largely unused cookbooks or from the cooking shows I love but they’re also from the food blog pioneers I’ve followed for years.
Since I live in the San Francisco Bay Area, I’m very lucky to be exposed to countless gastronomic delights. My husband and I also love to travel and getting to know different cultures through their cuisine is as exciting for me as seeing famous monuments. At home, however, I tend to gravitate towards simple, rustic dishes. So, this is the kind of food you’ll be seeing in this blog. Comfort food, healthy food–that’s what Lemons and Anchovies is all about.

Looks amazing Jean and I can’t wait to read more!
Jean you look gorgeous!! Now you totally remind me of Giada de Laurentiis! Looking forward to see more of your posts 🙂
Jean, each of your recipes sound and look delicious. I moved to the Bay Area fairly recently from the Midwest and was curious if you had any must-try restaurant recommendations in the South Bay.
I look forward to many posts and recipes from you to come!
Thanks, Brianne! I’d be happy to make recommendations but tell me what you like–it would help narrow things down a bit.
Thanks!
it’s so great to meet you… hope to see you and know you more through your posts…
Malou…likewise. I’ve been popping into your blog and have enjoyed your posts. I look forward to seeing more, too!
Jean, Absolutely Beautiful Photos! Love your writing style as well. Well Done! xo
Susan! It warms my heart that you not only visited but also made a comment–thanks! Still learning how to take pictures.
We are hoping to travel to San Francisco some time this year! Must be nice to live in a vacation spot! Me=jealous lol

Hi thanks for addin me in foodbuzz!

Happy to have found you via “You Fed A Baby Chili?”. Your blog title is awesome. I love both a juicy lemon and the much-maligned anchovy.
I found your blog on food gawker, it looks awesome! We have a lot in common: I’m also a thirty-something foodie who LOVES to eat, cook and travel, and buys too many cookbooks…except I live in NYC! I’m looking forward to reading more of your posts.
Oh, and great title, by the way – anchovies are AWESOME!! 🙂

I just switched to wordpress.com and was wondering how you put your “Top 9” on your side banner. Whenever I do it, the site just shows a link.
Anyway, nice blog!
Hello, we are going to visit the US, California and San Fransisco as well, this August. Can you recommend the best place to shop for baking supplies? Like a candyshop for real! Many thanks, Gerry
Saved as a favorite, I really like your blog!
I saw your post on Facebook for the Capellino Pomodoro with heirloom tomatoes…I am soooo hungry now!! It’s one of my favorite dishes and heirloom tomatoes would only make it better. Will you be sharing the recipe?
I’ve been following your Facebook page for awhile…new follower on here. 🙂
Whoops…meant to say “Capellini” above. BTW…I used to live in Vacaville, CA. My hubby & I commuted to San Leandro for work. I love the entire Bay Area & San Francisco is one of my favorite cities. You aren’t kidding about it being filled with gastronomic delights. I miss the area so much!
Have I been here before? I don’t know, but I have to make sure I come back more often–I love that you named your blog after anchovies!
I love your photography – the food looks delicious and the backdrop compliments the dishes very well! We love connecting with fellow food bloggers in and around SF! Looking forward to the next post 🙂
Your blog is very very pretty and the photography stupendous!
