Summary: For the Japanese, New Year's is a holiday steeped in tradition. Chef David Schlosser marks the occasion with ozoni and handmade soba at Shibumi in Downtown LA. Next, we travel to the Silk Road with Caroline Eden, author of Samarkand, and Naomi Duguid, whose new book is Taste of Persia. Plus, food and beer to try on the California coast, bitter greens at the market, and Jonathan Gold dines at Destroyer in Culver City.
