It's that time of year when we give thanks by donating our time, money and goods to local charities. It's also the time of year when most nonprofit organizations receive the majority of financial contributions and requests from volunteers. That's great, but the problem is that it can overwhelm popular charities; Glide often fills up its holiday volunteer spots within days of opening them up.
We've compiled a list of organizations all over the Bay Area that will be helping to feed the hungry over the holidays -- and throughout the year. Refer to this guide if you'd like to support these charities for upcoming events or even after the holidays are over. HandsOn Bay Area also has a fairly comprehensive volunteer calendar of organizations that could use your help. (If we missed your favorite nonprofit organization, please add it in the comments.)
Volunteers help distribute food to participants at one of the SF-Marin Food Bank’s pantries. (Courtesy of the SF-Marin Food Bank)
The Marin and San Francisco Food Banks merged a few years ago to become the SF-Marin Food Bank, which serves up enough food for 107,000 meals every day. During this time of year, they collect nearly half of their year's operating budget through donations. They also gather thousands of pounds of non-perishable food during this time.
The St. Anthony dining room serves up 3,000 meals every day of the year. It also provides a number of programs, including medical assistance and a food pantry for the homeless and low-income families.
Glide's mission is to welcome everyone into their community and help those in need, whomever they may be. That happens through a number of programs, one of the biggest of which is a daily meal program that serves up breakfast, lunch, and dinner (as well as special holiday meals).
Volunteer:
Serve up meals by volunteering with the daily free meal program, though spots often fill up around the holiday season. (Cantonese and Spanish speakers are especially needed.)
Curry without Worry started in 2006 to serve up hot meals to hungry people. Today, it serves tasty vegan meals every Tuesday in both San Francisco and Kathmandu.
Volunteer:
Weekly shifts are available to help prepare meals, serve them, and clean up. Sign up online. Curry without Worry is also looking for volunteers with specific organizational skills.
There's often tons of leftover food after the holidays. Fortunately, it doesn't need to go to waste. Food Runners picks up excess food from businesses and delivers over 15 tons of food each week to local food banks and charity programs.
The food bank provides food for over 240 agencies around the East Bay through its distribution network. It also operates an emergency food hotline, CalFresh outreach, and educational programs.
Loaves and Fishes provides meals to the hungry of Contra Costa County. They have five dining rooms that operate daily for lunch during the week, as well as a couple of partner meal services.
Although St. Vincent's is an international Catholic charity organization, the Marin chapter is independent; all donations to Marin stay in Marin. The chapter provides a number of programs to help those in need, such as a free dining room that serves daily meals. They also offer housing assistance that includes operating affordable low-income apartments.
Among its many programs, Community Action of Napa Valley operates a food bank for the region. It provides seven pantry locations, as well as runs distribution programs to seniors and low-income Napa residents.
Volunteer: Contact the food bank director to volunteer to pick-up food, help sort, or work in the pantry. You can also contact the other programs' directors directly to volunteer for those programs.
The Redwood Empire Food Bank distributes nearly 15 million pounds of food to Sonoma County residents annually through its pantry, emergency food program, and grocery boxes to seniors and meals for kids.
Since 1974, Second Harvest has been distributing food to low-income residents of San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. It now hands out 1 million pounds of food every week, half of which is fresh produce.
Started as a little soup kitchen in 1981, San Jose's Martha's Kitchen now serves 25,000 meals every week. In addition to serving meals, Martha's Kitchen also prepares meals for other nonprofit organizations and distributes food.

My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s.

A pastry chef herself, she requested that I weigh in on steamed puddings, their ratios, and what sort of recipe to start with when attempting them for the first time. Thinking I could answer her in a snap, I soon realized steamed puddings require some history and the ability to think differently about what we know to be \"pudding\" in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just about as old fashioned as \"plated desserts\" come, steamed puddings are completely out of fashion, even in England, their country of origin. Because they are not easy, or, for many, aren't worth the effort. In fact, even in The United Kingdom, steamed puddings are a chapter all on their own. At The French Laundry we served a chocolate steamed pudding mostly because we found the finicky method intriguing. And then there are the nifty molds. Antiquated and practical, fitted with tight clasps, elegant metal molds over a hundred years old can still be found for sale at tag sales or \u003ca href=\"http://travel2.nytimes.com/top/features/travel/destinations/unitedstates/california/sanfrancisco/shop_details.html?vid=1083747045586\">dusty, quirky cookshops.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.kqed.org/weblog/food/uploaded_images/steampud-759335.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://www.kqed.org/weblog/food/uploaded_images/steampud-755615.jpg\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Are the \u003ca href=\"http://lacuisineus.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=80_191\">actual steamed pudding molds\u003c/a> absolutely necessary? No, but they are designed with the particular steaming method in mind.

I worked on it with Sara Ko (then Sara Cameron), my co-pastry chef. As fun as it was to create I will admit to the fact that the texture has to be one you're fond of. Steamed pudding may well be more about the process than the end result. This dessert is not for the person who thinks a cake should feel like cake and puddings disappear easily on the tongue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Americans speaking of \"pudding\" we have a family of sweet endings in mind. Custards: eggy, rich, soft. \"Baby food\" in the worst of circumstances, and creme brulee in the best. But the word pudding comes from England's English where by saying pudding they mean dessert. Or sweet things in general.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's important to note these differences so that our physical expectation of the steamed pudding changes. \u003ca href=\"http://eggbeater.typepad.com/shuna/2005/05/although_i_shou.html\">\u003cb>For all custards need steam\u003c/b>\u003c/a>, if their consistency is to be smooth and creamy. No one wants to eat an overcooked creme caramel (it feels like a rubber band) or pot de creme (it looses all that melt-in-your-mouth quality you tried so hard, and spent so much money, to achieve.) Even a pannacotta done wrong can make a horrible impression, and that one's not even baked or cooked!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because the steamed pudding is sitting in a tightly bound mold on a rack inside of a large pot on top of your stove boiling, and not in the expansive womb of the oven, it's important to have a recipe very low in flour.

(Really, people? Hemp milk?

This means strong bones and muscles, antioxidant protection, healthy skin, high energy levels, good metabolism, and other health benefits. Also, commercially made almond milk is often fortified with calcium (A good tip: give the carton a good shake before drinking, because calcium can settle at the bottom). Almond milk contains no cholesterol, and has actually been shown to lower levels of LDL cholesterol (due to good monounsaturated fats in almonds) as well as protect against heart disease (almond skins contain flavonoids which help to protect the heart).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's low in calories.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Based on a recent comparison published in \u003ca href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703791904576075790255426176.html?utm_source=streamsend&utm_medium=email&utm_content=13238541&utm_campaign=Food%20News%20Thursday,%20January%2013#articleTabs%3Darticle\">The Wall Street Journal\u003c/a>, a one-cup serving of almond milk comes in at 60 calories, compared to coconut milk (80 calories), soy milk (90 calories), rice milk (120 calories), and 2% cow's milk (130 calories).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's lactose free.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> An estimated 30 to 50 million Americans (about 25% of the United States population) are affected by \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/l/lactose_intolerance/stats.htm?ktrack=kcplink\">lactose intolerance\u003c/a>, meaning they have difficulty digesting the sugar found in cow's milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's antibiotic and growth hormone free.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> While many dairy farmers have made strides to ensure that their cows are \u003ca href=\"http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/hormones/\">rBGH-free\u003c/a>, the practice of injecting dairy cows with growth hormones and antibiotics has not been completely eradicated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's an alternate alternative.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Soy milk got some bad PR not long ago thanks to Jeremy Piven's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mensfitness.com/nutrition/339\">man boobs\u003c/a>. Unless you're consuming a gallon of soy milk a day though, studies have shown that soy-induced man boobs aren't a real concern. However, there is an ongoing debate on the effect of soy foods on women. Soy foods are rich in \u003ca href=\"http://envirocancer.cornell.edu/FactSheet/Diet/fs1.phyto.cfm\">isoflavones/phytoestrogens\u003c/a>, which can mimic the effects of estrogen.

Now, in addition to your standard cow's milk choices (organic, low fat, fat-free, lactose–free), there is a slew of alternatives that aren't even dairy at all: soy milk, almond milk, rice milk, oat milk, coconut milk, even hemp milk. (Really, people? Hemp milk?

Also, commercially made almond milk is often fortified with calcium (A good tip: give the carton a good shake before drinking, because calcium can settle at the bottom). Almond milk contains no cholesterol, and has actually been shown to lower levels of LDL cholesterol (due to good monounsaturated fats in almonds) as well as protect against heart disease (almond skins contain flavonoids which help to protect the heart).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's low in calories.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Based on a recent comparison published in \u003ca href=\"http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703791904576075790255426176.html?utm_source=streamsend&utm_medium=email&utm_content=13238541&utm_campaign=Food%20News%20Thursday,%20January%2013#articleTabs%3Darticle\">The Wall Street Journal\u003c/a>, a one-cup serving of almond milk comes in at 60 calories, compared to coconut milk (80 calories), soy milk (90 calories), rice milk (120 calories), and 2% cow's milk (130 calories).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's lactose free.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> An estimated 30 to 50 million Americans (about 25% of the United States population) are affected by \u003ca href=\"http://www.wrongdiagnosis.com/l/lactose_intolerance/stats.htm?ktrack=kcplink\">lactose intolerance\u003c/a>, meaning they have difficulty digesting the sugar found in cow's milk. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's antibiotic and growth hormone free.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> While many dairy farmers have made strides to ensure that their cows are \u003ca href=\"http://www.sustainabletable.org/issues/hormones/\">rBGH-free\u003c/a>, the practice of injecting dairy cows with growth hormones and antibiotics has not been completely eradicated. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>•\t\u003cem>\u003cstrong>It's an alternate alternative.\u003c/strong>\u003c/em> Soy milk got some bad PR not long ago thanks to Jeremy Piven's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mensfitness.com/nutrition/339\">man boobs\u003c/a>.

According to historical records, cats were first tamed by Egyptians to help control their diets and thus shape the milk's taste.

Each city seems to have its own purveyor. In the Bay Area, Freyja Jones, a 70-year old woman who lives in Montclair, is the resident cat dairy woman. Living in an old hunting cabin near a local swimming and tennis club, Freyja has over 200 cats on her property. And while that may seem like a lot of animals to put in a 1500 square foot house, Freyja's operation is a smooth running machine and she says she wouldn't mind having \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Millions-Cats-Paperstar-Wanda-Gag/dp/0698113632\">millions of cats\u003c/a>. At the moment, there are Siamese in the master bedroom, Angoras in the den, calicos in the living room, and then mixed breeds everywhere else.

Freyja and her 40-year old daughter Dinah milk each cat by hand. For a while they used an invention by Dinah called \u003cem>The Pussy Milker\u003c/em>, but decided it was more difficult to place the cats in a harness than it was to actually milk them in their laps, so gave up on it. While I looked on as Freya and Dinah laid cats on their laps for milking, Freyja looked up at me and yelled above the din of meowing \"Don't forget to wear your gloves!\" as a large Angora batted a paw full of sharp claws at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After trying a few varieties, I've found that cat cheese has many unique flavors. Siamese milk has an underlying sardine taste, which makes it perfect for using as the base in hard cheeses, while Angora milk has a more musky flavor best used for ash-covered cheeses. The standard house cat, however, produces the creamiest milk of all, which is then used to make a tangy mozzarella de gatto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freyja mentioned that while she specializes is small domestic cats, there is also a growing movement to collect milk from large wild cats. Apparently the milk of both mountain lions and panthers is so rich and creamy that cheese mongers and yogurt makers alike will pay a very high price for it. But don't worry, those big cats aren't harmed in any way by this growing industry. Shot with tranquilizer pellets, the hunters simply milk the cats while they sleep and then carry off the milk before the cats awake in a type of milk and dash operation. From what I hear, mountain lion milk fetches up to $1,000 a gallon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Fromage de Chat\u003c/em> has also become quite popular in celebrity circles.

For a while they used an invention by Dinah called \u003cem>The Pussy Milker\u003c/em>, but decided it was more difficult to place the cats in a harness than it was to actually milk them in their laps, so gave up on it. While I looked on as Freya and Dinah laid cats on their laps for milking, Freyja looked up at me and yelled above the din of meowing \"Don't forget to wear your gloves!\" as a large Angora batted a paw full of sharp claws at her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After trying a few varieties, I've found that cat cheese has many unique flavors. Siamese milk has an underlying sardine taste, which makes it perfect for using as the base in hard cheeses, while Angora milk has a more musky flavor best used for ash-covered cheeses. The standard house cat, however, produces the creamiest milk of all, which is then used to make a tangy mozzarella de gatto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Freyja mentioned that while she specializes is small domestic cats, there is also a growing movement to collect milk from large wild cats. Apparently the milk of both mountain lions and panthers is so rich and creamy that cheese mongers and yogurt makers alike will pay a very high price for it. But don't worry, those big cats aren't harmed in any way by this growing industry. Shot with tranquilizer pellets, the hunters simply milk the cats while they sleep and then carry off the milk before the cats awake in a type of milk and dash operation.

Instead, I decided to harness the power of starch, along with my bean milks of choice, to make my soy-free tofu.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yes, before the definition police come calling, I do know that, traditionally, “tofu” is only made from bean curd. However, there already exists a range of tofu-like products made with other ingredients that are referred to as tofus, so I will do the same.

After meeting Lustig and following his eating advice, she lost the weight and started teaching a nutrition class at Concord’s Mt.

It was all the sugar and it was a lack of fiber. I changed my food to the things that he told me to do.

His catchphrase—repeated throughout his lecture and his books— is that \u003cstrong>a calorie is not a calorie\u003c/strong>. Our body processes different types of fats and carbs in radically different ways. Take fat. There are good fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids (found in wild fish and flax,) and bad fats, like omega-6 fatty acid found in corn-fed beef.

Lustig has the ability to distill complex biological processes into simple explanations, the case studies from his work illuminate the misconceptions we have about obesity (it’s hard to argue that obesity is a personal choice when confronted with an obese six month old), and perhaps most importantly, the ability to inspire hope about an issue that often seems impossible to fix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easy to watch a YouTube video and resolve to drink less juice.

His catchphrase—repeated throughout his lecture and his books— is that \u003cstrong>a calorie is not a calorie\u003c/strong>. Our body processes different types of fats and carbs in radically different ways. Take fat. There are good fats, like the omega-3 fatty acids (found in wild fish and flax,) and bad fats, like omega-6 fatty acid found in corn-fed beef. Omega-3s reduce inflammation and repair membranes, whereas omega-6s cause inflammation and increases risk of health problems like arthritis and cancer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_85314\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-much1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/07/robert-lustig-get-too-much1000.jpg\" alt=\"We Get Too Much...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-85314\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">We Get Too Much...Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The same goes for carbs.

European-style pastries, often prepared with hours of labor and love, are a true treat and best when savored slowly. The pastries come in all different shapes, flavors and colors to fit your mood and current craving, from buttery croissants to delectable Napoleons. While they may not offer quite the same romantic experience as say Paris, here are five bakeries along the Peninsula and South Bay Area where you can sink your teeth into an array of European-style pastries. As an added bonus, we have included information about a popular pop-up pastry shop serving pastries at the contemporary French restaurant, Zola in Palo Alto.

The gourmet bakery, headed by Manresa head baker Avery Ruzicka, began as a stand at South Bay farmers markets and has now expanded to two brick-and-mortar locations, one next door to Manresa in Los Gatos and a newly opened location in Los Altos. Weekend visitors should arrive early to get the best pick from a delectable selection of sweet and savory pastries. Not to be missed is the kouign-amann, a round pastry made from layers of flaky dough coated with hardened and sticky caramelized sugar. The savory selections such as a Danish with delicata squash, bacon, gruyere cheese, and onion jam are equally delightful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113180\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113180\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.manresabread.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Manresa Bread\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n276 N Santa Cruz Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/X6mh9i\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLos Gatos, CA 95030\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 402-5372\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 7am-3pm (or until sold out)\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/manresabread/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Manresa Bread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/manresabread\" target=\"_blank\">@ManresaBread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>La Patisserie Bakery\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113187\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg\" alt=\"A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113187\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>La Patisserie Bakery is tucked away in a Cupertino shopping mall but remains a popular destination for European-style pastries as well as elegantly decorated wedding cakes.

Shelsta served as pastry chef for Michelin-starred Chez TJ in Mountain View as well as working as a baker’s apprentice in multiple locations. His pastries include sweet and crunchy kouign-amanns, buttery croissants, and savory tarts made from seasonally available produce.

European-style pastries, often prepared with hours of labor and love, are a true treat and best when savored slowly. The pastries come in all different shapes, flavors and colors to fit your mood and current craving, from buttery croissants to delectable Napoleons. While they may not offer quite the same romantic experience as say Paris, here are five bakeries along the Peninsula and South Bay Area where you can sink your teeth into an array of European-style pastries. As an added bonus, we have included information about a popular pop-up pastry shop serving pastries at the contemporary French restaurant, Zola in Palo Alto.

The gourmet bakery, headed by Manresa head baker Avery Ruzicka, began as a stand at South Bay farmers markets and has now expanded to two brick-and-mortar locations, one next door to Manresa in Los Gatos and a newly opened location in Los Altos. Weekend visitors should arrive early to get the best pick from a delectable selection of sweet and savory pastries. Not to be missed is the kouign-amann, a round pastry made from layers of flaky dough coated with hardened and sticky caramelized sugar. The savory selections such as a Danish with delicata squash, bacon, gruyere cheese, and onion jam are equally delightful.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113180\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg\" alt=\"Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113180\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Manresa-Counter-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Inside Manresa Bread in Los Gatos. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.manresabread.com/\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Manresa Bread\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n276 N Santa Cruz Ave. [\u003ca href=\"https://goo.gl/X6mh9i\" target=\"_blank\">map\u003c/a>]\u003cbr>\nLos Gatos, CA 95030\u003cbr>\nPh: (408) 402-5372\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon-Sun 7am-3pm (or until sold out)\u003cbr>\nFacebook: \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/manresabread/?fref=ts\" target=\"_blank\">Manresa Bread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/manresabread\" target=\"_blank\">@ManresaBread\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nPrice Range: $ (entrees under $10)\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>La Patisserie Bakery\u003c/h2>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_113187\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg\" alt=\"A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" class=\"size-full wp-image-113187\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-768x576.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/11/Patisserie-Vienna-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A café Vienna pastry from La Patisserie Bakery. \u003ccite>(Jeff Cianci)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>La Patisserie Bakery is tucked away in a Cupertino shopping mall but remains a popular destination for European-style pastries as well as elegantly decorated wedding cakes.

Shelsta came under the wing of Howie Bulka, then the owner of Marché in Menlo Park, who advised him to leave culinary school and to instead learn by doing.

They are also a great addition to salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike pop corn kernals, you need to first partially cook wheat berries to soften them before placing them in a hot pan.

Be sure to continually shake or stir the grains so as not to burn them.\u003cbr>\n3. Once all the moisture seems to have evaporated (about 1-2 minutes), add in the oil and continue to shake the pan while the grains begin to pop.

They are also a great addition to salads.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike pop corn kernals, you need to first partially cook wheat berries to soften them before placing them in a hot pan.

Be sure to continually shake or stir the grains so as not to burn them.\u003cbr>\n3. Once all the moisture seems to have evaporated (about 1-2 minutes), add in the oil and continue to shake the pan while the grains begin to pop.
