Great Food with Soul
by Kathy Nguyen
       
Like any artistic creation, great cuisine comes from the heart and is fueled by passion. At its best, it offers a feast for the senses that thrills and delights.

Deep-fried salmon rolls with Chinese hot mustard. Grilled Chilean sea bass with garlic ginger soy. Tender, oven-roasted chicken in a creamy shiitake mushroom sauce. Australian rack of lamb with fiery Korean spices. And flourless chocolate cake topped with rich red raspberry sauce. These are just some of the inventive dishes that have people raving about Larry and Angela Tse's restaurant House in San Francisco's Inner Sunset District and its sister establishment in North Beach.
