Since 2001, I designed, produced, managed and contributed to mostly food-related websites and blogs for KQED including: KQED.org; KQED Food; Bay Area Bites; Check, Please! Bay Area; Taste This; Celebrity Chefs; seven of Jacques Pepin's TV series websites; and Joanne Weir's Cooking in the City. I initiated the majority of KQED Food's social media feeds and maintained them up until 2017. As far as content creation, photography is my passion and I also shoot video and write stories. My photos have been used in articles for KQED Food, News, Arts, and Science as well as for promotional purposes in print and online. Professional education and training includes: clinical psychology, photography, commercial cooking, web design, information architecture and UX.",

Also, a barrel of cheese balls never ends well. \r\n\r\nStephanie has been known to choose her company based on how much they can pack it down. Ability to endure cramped quarters, sketchy back alleys, and uncharted paths to seek out that special dish is also a plus in her book. If you fit the criteria, drop a note.

"bio": "My passion is exploring the connections between food, travel and culture. I am a regular contributor to AFAR, Edible East Bay Magazine, Oakland Magazine, Berkeleyside's NOSH and other publications. I usually take a route that's slightly off the beaten path, like \u003ca href=\"http://edibleeastbay.com/online-magazine/fall-harvest-2017/fun-with-food-insults/\">collecting food-related insults\u003c/a> around the world or \u003ca href=\"https://www.afar.com/magazine/what-i-learned-hawking-sweet-potatoes-with-a-street-vendor-in-taiwan?email=amindess%40aol.com&utm_source=Sailthru&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Doctors%20Without%20Borders&utm_term=Daily%20Wander%20Newsletter\">volunteering with a Sweet Potato Mama\u003c/a> (street food seller) in Tapei.\r\n\r\nCulture is the thread that ties together my several careers. I also work as a sign language interpreter, educator and author. My study of Deaf culture has taken me around the world, where I am always on a quest to find Deaf-owned restaurants. I love making connections between my different worlds, for example in this AFAR story where I share \u003ca href=\"https://www.afar.com/magazine/tips-from-a-sign-language-interpreter-for-overcoming-language-barriers\">tips for communicating across cultures\u003c/a> that I learned from the real experts, Deaf people.

Having Shuanghui purchase Virginia-based Smithfield would \"provide enormous benefits for our two companies,\" he said. \"It is a partnership that is all about growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, the transaction would generate a windfall for Smithfield shareholders. Pope said Shuanghui is offering $34 per share in cash, a 31 percent premium over the company's closing stock price on May 28, the last trading day before the deal was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one of the witnesses before the panel suggested the deal would be a lousy one for consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transaction will indeed provide \"short-term benefits to Smithfield's managers, shareholders and pension funds,\" said Usha Haley, director of West Virginia University's Robbins Center for Global Business and Strategy. \"However, the medium- and long-term benefits to U.S. consumers, industry and society are highly questionable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said in prepared testimony that the Chinese company has a poor reputation for food purity. \"Shuanghui's and China's food-industry culture exudes outrageous food-safety violations and a history of food adulteration,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shuanghui apologized in March 2011 over illegal additives found in its meat and halted output after a CCTV report that farmers in Henan province fed the additive to their pigs and then sold them to a Shuanghui slaughterhouse,\" Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Pope said nothing will change in this country. Shuanghui \"is committed to maintaining Smithfield's operation, staff and management,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smithfield, founded in 1936, has 46,000 U.S. workers, more than half of whom belong to the United Food and Commercial Workers union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shuanghui will honor the collective bargaining agreements in place with Smithfield's union-represented employees,\" Pope said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the transaction would \"drive growth ... for the entire U.S. pork industry\" because China has a rapidly growing middle class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those wealthier Chinese consumers have a hunger for \"more and better-quality protein in their and their family's diets,\" he said. \"And pork is what is on the menu for Chinese consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the Chinese, pork is the No. 1 source of protein, while in this country, it's only No. 3 and \"pork demand in the U.S. has been declining for almost 15 years,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stabenow recently led a group of senators in \u003ca href=\"http://www.stabenow.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1061\">writing to the White House, \u003c/a>urging the Obama administration to toughen the CFIUS review.

Having Shuanghui purchase Virginia-based Smithfield would \"provide enormous benefits for our two companies,\" he said. \"It is a partnership that is all about growth.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For one thing, the transaction would generate a windfall for Smithfield shareholders. Pope said Shuanghui is offering $34 per share in cash, a 31 percent premium over the company's closing stock price on May 28, the last trading day before the deal was announced.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But one of the witnesses before the panel suggested the deal would be a lousy one for consumers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The transaction will indeed provide \"short-term benefits to Smithfield's managers, shareholders and pension funds,\" said Usha Haley, director of West Virginia University's Robbins Center for Global Business and Strategy. \"However, the medium- and long-term benefits to U.S. consumers, industry and society are highly questionable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley said in prepared testimony that the Chinese company has a poor reputation for food purity. \"Shuanghui's and China's food-industry culture exudes outrageous food-safety violations and a history of food adulteration,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shuanghui apologized in March 2011 over illegal additives found in its meat and halted output after a CCTV report that farmers in Henan province fed the additive to their pigs and then sold them to a Shuanghui slaughterhouse,\" Haley said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Pope said nothing will change in this country. Shuanghui \"is committed to maintaining Smithfield's operation, staff and management,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smithfield, founded in 1936, has 46,000 U.S. workers, more than half of whom belong to the United Food and Commercial Workers union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Shuanghui will honor the collective bargaining agreements in place with Smithfield's union-represented employees,\" Pope said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the transaction would \"drive growth ... for the entire U.S. pork industry\" because China has a rapidly growing middle class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those wealthier Chinese consumers have a hunger for \"more and better-quality protein in their and their family's diets,\" he said. \"And pork is what is on the menu for Chinese consumers.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the Chinese, pork is the No. 1 source of protein, while in this country, it's only No. 3 and \"pork demand in the U.S. has been declining for almost 15 years,\" he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stabenow recently led a group of senators in \u003ca href=\"http://www.stabenow.senate.gov/?p=press_release&id=1061\">writing to the White House, \u003c/a>urging the Obama administration to toughen the CFIUS review.

If you can imagine a juicy, spicy hamburger cooked in roast beef drippings, you get a general idea: delicious but iffy on the health front. So over the years, I have come up with my own version, a turkey kebab.

Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or as long as 24 hours so flavors meld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Divide the meat into six portions and form balls. Flatten the balls to make 3 1/2-inch clean-edged patties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pour the oil into a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in as many patties as well fit in easily and fry about 1 minute or less on each side or until browned. Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to cook the patties, turning frequently, until the juices run clear when the patties are pressed.

If you can imagine a juicy, spicy hamburger cooked in roast beef drippings, you get a general idea: delicious but iffy on the health front. So over the years, I have come up with my own version, a turkey kebab. You can fry them in a pan with oil or cook on the grill like you would with hamburgers.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Makes 6 patties\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 tablespoons plain yogurt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 pound ground turkey (preferably a mixture of light and dark meat)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 tablespoon whole coriander seeds and 1 teaspoon whole cumin seeds, crushed lightly in a mortar or put between sheets of foil and crushed with a rolling pin\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5 tablespoons olive or canola oil\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spoon the yogurt into a small sieve and set it over a cup to drain. Ten minutes will do it, but longer will not hurt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Put the drained yogurt and all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl and mix well. Cover and refrigerate at least 1 hour or as long as 24 hours so flavors meld.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Divide the meat into six portions and form balls. Flatten the balls to make 3 1/2-inch clean-edged patties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pour the oil into a large frying pan and set over medium-high heat. When hot, put in as many patties as well fit in easily and fry about 1 minute or less on each side or until browned. Turn the heat down to medium low and continue to cook the patties, turning frequently, until the juices run clear when the patties are pressed.

Chinese newspaper in hand, he would sip on his coffee with cream while I tried to wrap my two-year-old mind around the layered complexity of the barbecued pork bun in my chubby little fist.

He introduced me to the gold standard of \u003cem>char siu bao\u003c/em> at an early age. While my older brother was in school (sucka), Gong Gong and I would hold court at our booth at \u003ca href=\"http://lickmyspoon.com/restaurants/dim-sum-love/\">Hop Sing\u003c/a>. Chinese newspaper in hand, he would sip on his coffee with cream while I tried to wrap my two-year-old mind around the layered complexity of the barbecued pork bun in my chubby little fist. It was savory, it was sweet, it was meaty, yet it was a bun. What was this sorcery? I still don’t know.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There's a lot of gear and electronics. Sometimes I go into a restaurant with all my bags of gear and some guy still says, 'Oh, are you here for the waitress position?' (And I’m 33!)\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeCoudreaux shoots striking, non-traditional portraits of drag queens, porn people as well as weddings. \"Weddings have a certain stress because they only do the ceremony once,\" she says. \"Food sits still – unless it’s a hollandaise sauce that breaks after 15 seconds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She admits the hardest food to photograph is BBQ. \"It's just meat covered in sauce, it can look like a brown mush. You have to light it and garnish it so it isn’t just a plate of brown.\" She doesn't usually work with a food stylist, relying instead on chefs who plate their food artistically. \"I like collaborating, being in the kitchen, trying to stay unobtrusive. I like to show real people doing their work.\" Instead of a perfect peach tart, for example, DeCoudreaux would prefer something a little lopsided. “It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_60744\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/AndriaLo-2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-60744\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/AndriaLo-2.jpg\" alt=\"photo by Andria Lo - condiments at Chinese restaurant\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Andria Lo - condiments at Chinese restaurant\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Andria Lo, \u003c/strong>documentary and editorial photographer and\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>photo director for Hyphen Magazine, grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, where, she says, \"There weren’t a lot of Chinese people. We ate Mom’s Chinese cooking at home and didn't go out to eat at Anchorage's Chinese restaurants.\" When Lo and her family moved to Southern California's San Gabriel Valley, she experienced culture shock at the plethora of Chinese restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lo caught the photography bug as an art student at UC Berkeley. \"It was the magic and camaraderie of the darkroom,\" she says, \"where people are working individually and collectively at same time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although professionally, she photographs products, portraits, weddings and other subjects, Lo says, \"food photography is one of my passions. You get a finger on the pulse of what’s going on in the city. I especially like shooting the great energy at food events -- like \u003ca href=\"http://foragesf.com/about/\">ForageSF\u003c/a> dinners -- it’s a challenge to capture the excitement in the air.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the hardest places to shoot, Lo explains, is in professional kitchens. \"While the dining room may be gorgeous, the fluorescent lighting, stainless steel counters and dirty dish racks present a challenge. I have so much respect for chefs. I’m visually stunned by the plating they come up with. My favorite perk is getting to eat their dishes. It's an impetus to work fast, so that the food is still hot.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61324\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/Anna-V.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/Anna-V.jpg\" alt=\"photo by Anna Vignet\" width=\"1000\" height=\"652\" class=\"size-full wp-image-61324\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Anna Vignet\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Anna Vignet\u003c/strong>: \"There's a huge variety of world flavors in only a handful of miles in the city.

Sometimes we know of a hair salon or pizza place that needs art on their walls and we can match them up with someone from the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61323\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/Molly-DeCoudreaux.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/Molly-DeCoudreaux.jpg\" alt=\"photo by Molly DeCoudreaux - Bar Tartine\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"size-full wp-image-61323\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Molly DeCoudreaux - Bar Tartine\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Professional photographer \u003cstrong>Molly DeCoudreaux\u003c/strong> grew up in Oakland. \"What got me into loving food was the ten years I worked at Baywolf, moving from busser to waitress.\" DeCoudreaux enjoys showing food communities, cheese-makers and chefs at work in the kitchen as well as bringing focus to small upstart companies. \"I can relate to them because I’m scrappy too, I work hard, in a physically strenuous business.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for being part of Femme Cartel's female-focused art show, she says, \"Most photographers are men, it’s a gendered profession. There's a lot of gear and electronics. Sometimes I go into a restaurant with all my bags of gear and some guy still says, 'Oh, are you here for the waitress position?' (And I’m 33!)\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>DeCoudreaux shoots striking, non-traditional portraits of drag queens, porn people as well as weddings. \"Weddings have a certain stress because they only do the ceremony once,\" she says. \"Food sits still – unless it’s a hollandaise sauce that breaks after 15 seconds.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She admits the hardest food to photograph is BBQ. \"It's just meat covered in sauce, it can look like a brown mush. You have to light it and garnish it so it isn’t just a plate of brown.\" She doesn't usually work with a food stylist, relying instead on chefs who plate their food artistically. \"I like collaborating, being in the kitchen, trying to stay unobtrusive. I like to show real people doing their work.\" Instead of a perfect peach tart, for example, DeCoudreaux would prefer something a little lopsided. “It doesn’t have to be perfect to be beautiful,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_60744\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/AndriaLo-2.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-60744\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/AndriaLo-2.jpg\" alt=\"photo by Andria Lo - condiments at Chinese restaurant\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by Andria Lo - condiments at Chinese restaurant\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Andria Lo, \u003c/strong>documentary and editorial photographer and\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>photo director for Hyphen Magazine, grew up in Anchorage, Alaska, where, she says, \"There weren’t a lot of Chinese people. We ate Mom’s Chinese cooking at home and didn't go out to eat at Anchorage's Chinese restaurants.\" When Lo and her family moved to Southern California's San Gabriel Valley, she experienced culture shock at the plethora of Chinese restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lo caught the photography bug as an art student at UC Berkeley. \"It was the magic and camaraderie of the darkroom,\" she says, \"where people are working individually and collectively at same time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although professionally, she photographs products, portraits, weddings and other subjects, Lo says, \"food photography is one of my passions.

I have so much respect for chefs. I’m visually stunned by the plating they come up with. My favorite perk is getting to eat their dishes.

But now it's one more example of traditions emulsifying in the great American melting pot. Korean-American chef \u003ca href=\"http://chefedwardlee.com/bio/\">Edward Lee\u003c/a> makes that case with his new cookbook \u003cem>Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fusion cooking comes naturally to Lee: He grew up in an immigrant neighborhood of Brooklyn surrounded by Jamaicans, Indians, Iranians and Jews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they immigrated to America, my parents deliberately decided they weren't going to live in the big Korean enclaves,\" Lee tells \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> host David Greene. \"They wanted to spread out and be amongst other people. That education in cuisine, ranging from so many different immigrant groups probably left more of a lasting impression on me in cuisine than anything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Their whole thing was 'You're an American. Be an American,' \" Lee says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Korean food was a way Lee connected with his grandmother. She rarely spoke of Korea because she didn't have very happy memories, he says, but \"food was the one thing that was kind of sacred and pure and hadn't been torn apart.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_61229\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 250px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/jacket-smoke-and-pickles_custom-81a07bcc08f7f834a9d2cee2223da2cc755705df-s3.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/jacket-smoke-and-pickles_custom-81a07bcc08f7f834a9d2cee2223da2cc755705df-s3.jpg\" alt=\"Edward Lee's first cookbook, <em>Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen, </em>features Korean-southern comfort food. <br /><figcaption class=\" wp-caption-text>Photo: Artisan Books\" width=\"250\" class=\"size-full wp-image-61229\" />\u003c/a> Edward Lee's first cookbook, \u003cem>Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen, \u003c/em>features Korean-southern comfort food. \u003cbr>Photo: Artisan Books.\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>As a kid, Lee says he would hang out with her in the kitchen, and at first, she ignored him. \"I would, little by little, start helping her with things,\" he says. \"She got very annoyed by that at first. She's like, 'You're a man. You're not supposed to be here learning how to make kimchi — that's women's work.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, he says, they developed a strong bond that relied on few words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Korean food was also how Lee established himself as a chef. In 1998 he opened a restaurant in Manhattan called Clay, which attracted a clientele that included plenty of celebrities. But the excitement wore off quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything seemed right on paper: Korean kid opens Korean restaurant,\" he says. \"But it just didn't feel right to me, and I wasn't incredibly proud of the food. I felt like it was just an extension of what I thought people wanted me to cook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started to re-evaluate things and decided to travel around the country. The farthest his family had traveled in his childhood was New Jersey. \"That was huge for us,\" he says. \"Although I grew up in America and I was influenced by all of the things that other Americans are, I had no idea what America was. It was this vast unknown beyond New Jersey.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in 2001 Lee went to places like Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., for the first time. And it was in Louisville at the Kentucky Derby that he fell in love with the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a year he had moved there to take over a restaurant called \u003ca href=\"http://610magnolia.com/\">610 Magnolia\u003c/a> and the fusion instinct kicked in. He started mixing Korean spice with Southern comfort food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Southern food tends to be a little bit on the sweeter side. Asian food tends to be a little bit on the saltier, kind of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16066892\">umami\u003c/a> side,\" Lee says. \"When they work and you put them together, they are actually are a wonderful marriage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grits, for example, reminded Lee of congee, a rice porridge Koreans usually eat with soy sauce and seafood. So Lee came up with a recipe for lamb braised in soy sauce and served over grits, transforming the sweet taste of the corn into something new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or take fried chicken. Koreans actually have a long tradition of frying chicken, Lee says. They just have a slightly different method of preparing the chicken for frying. \"The results are almost similar, but it's just different pathways to the same place,\" he says. \"And I find that a lot in Asian cuisine and Southern cuisine.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Related Stories\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/05/03/180588273/recipes-from-smoke-pickles\">Recipes from \u003cem>Smoke & Pickles\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/05/03/180334026/chef-edward-lee-adds-korean-spice-to-southern-comfort-food\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But now it's one more example of traditions emulsifying in the great American melting pot. Korean-American chef \u003ca href=\"http://chefedwardlee.com/bio/\">Edward Lee\u003c/a> makes that case with his new cookbook \u003cem>Smoke and Pickles: Recipes and Stories From a New Southern Kitchen\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fusion cooking comes naturally to Lee: He grew up in an immigrant neighborhood of Brooklyn surrounded by Jamaicans, Indians, Iranians and Jews.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"When they immigrated to America, my parents deliberately decided they weren't going to live in the big Korean enclaves,\" Lee tells \u003cem>Morning Edition\u003c/em> host David Greene. \"They wanted to spread out and be amongst other people. That education in cuisine, ranging from so many different immigrant groups probably left more of a lasting impression on me in cuisine than anything else.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

She's like, 'You're a man. You're not supposed to be here learning how to make kimchi — that's women's work.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Over the years, he says, they developed a strong bond that relied on few words.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Korean food was also how Lee established himself as a chef. In 1998 he opened a restaurant in Manhattan called Clay, which attracted a clientele that included plenty of celebrities. But the excitement wore off quickly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Everything seemed right on paper: Korean kid opens Korean restaurant,\" he says. \"But it just didn't feel right to me, and I wasn't incredibly proud of the food. I felt like it was just an extension of what I thought people wanted me to cook.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He started to re-evaluate things and decided to travel around the country. The farthest his family had traveled in his childhood was New Jersey. \"That was huge for us,\" he says. \"Although I grew up in America and I was influenced by all of the things that other Americans are, I had no idea what America was. It was this vast unknown beyond New Jersey.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So in 2001 Lee went to places like Wisconsin and Washington, D.C., for the first time. And it was in Louisville at the Kentucky Derby that he fell in love with the South.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Within a year he had moved there to take over a restaurant called \u003ca href=\"http://610magnolia.com/\">610 Magnolia\u003c/a> and the fusion instinct kicked in. He started mixing Korean spice with Southern comfort food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Southern food tends to be a little bit on the sweeter side. Asian food tends to be a little bit on the saltier, kind of \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=16066892\">umami\u003c/a> side,\" Lee says. \"When they work and you put them together, they are actually are a wonderful marriage.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grits, for example, reminded Lee of congee, a rice porridge Koreans usually eat with soy sauce and seafood. So Lee came up with a recipe for lamb braised in soy sauce and served over grits, transforming the sweet taste of the corn into something new.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or take fried chicken. Koreans actually have a long tradition of frying chicken, Lee says. They just have a slightly different method of preparing the chicken for frying. \"The results are almost similar, but it's just different pathways to the same place,\" he says. \"And I find that a lot in Asian cuisine and Southern cuisine.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Related Stories\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2013/05/03/180588273/recipes-from-smoke-pickles\">Recipes from \u003cem>Smoke & Pickles\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/blogs/thesalt/2013/05/03/180334026/chef-edward-lee-adds-korean-spice-to-southern-comfort-food\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The milk and foam parts go on first, then he uses toothpicks to add \"shading\" with espresso. The whole process, he says, takes about three to five minutes.

IACP's professional awards are widely viewed in the food world as something of a gold standard for cookbooks, food writing, digital media and culinary tours. The awards marked the closing night of the organization’s 35th annual conference, which went with a “\u003ca href=\"http://www.iacp.com/attend/more/2013_conference_theme\">Dirt to Digital\u003c/a>” theme this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Check out the full \u003ca href=\"http://www.iacp.com/documents/IACP_AwardsFinalists_2013.pdf\">list of award finalists\u003c/a> and the grand \u003ca href=\"https://www.iacp.com/documents/IACP35_AwardWinners_2013_FINAL.pdf\">list of winners\u003c/a>. While the awards ceremony stretched out over a few hours and was oddly lacking \u003cem>any\u003c/em> form of culinary nourishment (there were definite rumblings after the ceremony about that), it offered quirks, songs and even a few dick jokes courtesy of \u003ca href=\"http://www.libbiesummers.com/\">Libbie Summers\u003c/a>, whose \u003ca href=\"http://www.saltedandstyled.com/\">Salted and Styled\u003c/a> blog won for Best Culinary Blog.

It was also emotional for Lifetime Achievement Award winner \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AliceWaters\">Alice Waters\u003c/a>, who gratefully accepted her prize and joked in her speech that while she cannot farm, “I am a picker,” which got the audience laughing--wise words from the founder of \u003ca href=\"http://www.chezpanisse.com/\">Chez Panisse\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"http://edibleschoolyard.org/\">Edible Schoolyard\u003c/a>. Waters also professed her admiration for cooking teachers because: “I cannot teach.” She immediately went on to acknowledge IACP attendee and stalwart \u003ca href=\"http://www.cookingisfun.ie/pages/\">Darina Allen\u003c/a>, whose Ballymaloe cooking school she visits every year (for her birthday).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/10/04/an-interview-with-charles-phan-author-of-vietnamese-home-cooking/\">Charles Phan\u003c/a> won in the Chefs and Restaurants cookbook category for his “Vietnamese Home Cooking” (co-authored with \u003ca href=\"http://www.tastingtable.com/press_release/internal/7740/Jessica_Battilana_Senior_Editor.htm\">Tasting Table\u003c/a> Senior Editor Jessica Battilana), he confessed that he did not have a speech but had enjoyed some bourbon to presumably get warmed up.

Her confession seemed to scare him a little. Weir dedicated her prize to him because he passed away last year. Food blogger Irvin Lin won the Best in Show prize for his photography, and he asked the IACP crowd to “hire me, I'm available,\" a sentiment which was echoed by the next winner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conference itself is that rare chance to possibly figure out how to eke out a living doing things in the culinary field--it can be exciting but also daunting in the number of possibilities it presents. There were various declarations for members to support each other and that each one \"stands on the shoulders\" of those who have come before and after them. That may sound hokey and like general conference speak yet three people we spoke with found these pronouncements to be inspiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many attendees shared with Bay Area Bites that the chance of learning from so many different people doing interesting things is one of the main draws of shelling out \u003ca href=\"http://www.iacp.com/attend/more/program_registration_2\">$750 to $950\u003c/a> to register for the full conference—that’s on top of the $280 it costs to initially join IACP. Off the record, we were told that IACP is in the midst of something of a revamp and that costs and programming issues have been noted if not yet changed. These folks said that they attend as much for the learning sessions on, say, the meaning of restaurant reviews in the era of Yelp to getting a lowdown on sourdough or video content strategy. The coffee breaks are also highly valued and networking even happens in the bathrooms. Yes, really. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kale salad and eating local may remain a big trend, but IACP attendees see much, much more at play in the food world.

He is the author of “The Joy of Coffee,” based on his Atlantic series, and the recently published “The Pleasures of Slow Food.” Kummer is the recipient of three James Beard Journalism Awards, including the MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kummer:\u003c/strong> This conference is about seeing people who are following food issues on the level of the home cook. It’s about how the things that we in the media are interested in and write about play out in real life and the home of a consumer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IACP has always been the most connected to the real world of any group because it’s people making their living as culinary professionals. They are in touch with sustainability, farming and local issues. I thought the conference was brilliantly named \"Dirt to Digital\" because online is where all of the IACP members need to be marketing themselves and their products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With social media, no one yet knows how to master it but everyone’s trying to learn. IACP has always been at the forefront of practical and real world applications. That’s a unique role because being so smartly focused attracts the most interesting, lively and active people in the food world. And I’ll take any opportunity to connect with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/danielle-gould.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/danielle-gould-190x190.jpeg\" alt=\"Danielle Gould\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-59886\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/dhgisme\">Danielle Gould\u003c/a> is the Founder and CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtechconnect.com/\">Food+Tech Connect\u003c/a>, a media company and network for innovators transforming the business of food. Through news and analysis, events, and custom research, Gould helps companies of all sizes drive innovation and understand how information and technology are changing the way food is produced, distributed, and consumed. She is also a founding member of the Culinary Institute of America’s Sustainable Business Leadership Council and is a regular contributor to Forbes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gould:\u003c/strong> This is my first time at IACP and they invited me to talk about food and tech trends and hackathons as a model for food innovation. Our panel touched on the opportunity and the medium, as well as how to demystify technology. It is also about helping people understand the knowledge and the challenges that are out there. We’re trying to empower people to put that knowledge out there where they’re collaborating with designers and developers to solve that problem. I travel the whole country and spread the gospel and learn about how people are thinking. It’s about using technology to help solve problems, spread messages and improve business models and just accelerate innovation that’s happening on a small scale. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, a book would take you two years and a product would take 18 months. For a food producer or chef, that means that it takes awhile to market things. Technology offers opportunities: now you can self-publish that cookbook in close to real time, and get feedback on your product. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Dirt to Digital\" is at the heart of what food technology is. You’re looking across the supply chain, and food is interconnected. It is a system, and that goes to the consumer. A lot of times when people think of digital, they think of consumers. Emerging trends and what role technology is for each trend is a part of that. Technology is very broad and means so much to so many different people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I just love learning how people respond to technology and food and how they use it. The other major takeaway was a lot of the panels weren't very popular or not as sexy but were about funding. Everyone’s having trouble making money in the food space. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BruceAidellsSandor560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BruceAidellsSandor560-190x190.jpg\" title=\"Karen MacKenzie, Bruce Aidells and Sandor Katz at IACP Awards.

His books “The Art of Fermentation” and “Wild Fermentation,” and the fermentation workshops he has taught across North America and beyond, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I’ve never been to IACP before. I don’t think of myself as a culinary professional. The work that I do is demystifying and sharing skills with people who aren’t necessarily culinary professionals. The highlight for me has been to meet people whose books are influential. [Katz was sitting with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/12/10/everything-you-need-to-know-about-bruce-aidells/\">Bruce Aidells\u003c/a> when we caught up with him and Aidells shared the table with us while we caught up.]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aidells:\u003c/strong> What’s good sauerkraut without good sausages?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> A kraut -- quesadilla is my fast food, and I make it with Pepper Jack. That’s one of my standard meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The theme of the conference is significant. What does \"Dirt to Digital\" mean? I was just on this panel that was high tech versus low tech yet I don’t necessarily see things that way. I’m interested in understanding these processes in their simplicity. So that doesn’t mean you can’t use technology to have more control over the processes. It’s very empowering to see how the underlying principles don't need equipment. If you get involved in sausage making, you can use a funnel for the casing. You can also just be there with you hands, pushing the meat through to the casing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For cheese, you can buy nice molds, perhaps. There are elegant crocks to make things but you can also do it with a jar that’s already in your pantry. I appreciate the conference and there’s much information spreading by digital means but it may be telling people how to use their hands. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/JoanneWeir500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/JoanneWeir500-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"Joanne Weir at IACP Awards.

She is the chef-owner of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/04/29/copita-tequileria-y-comida-joanne-weir-and-larry-mindel%E2%80%99s-mexico-in-sausalito/\">Copita\u003c/a>, a tequileria and restaurant in Sausalito. The author of 17 cookbooks, including the newly released “Cooking Confidence,” Joanne is the Culinary Editor at Large at Fine Cooking! magazine. She travels and teaches extensively around the world as well as in her studio kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Weir:\u003c/strong> This conference was so interesting because I’ve approached it differently as a restaurateur this year. I usually approach it as “I write for magazines” or my cookbooks or how to fill your cooking classes. This time I’m taking in things that are really different. I want to sit in on the reviewing and Yelping session. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still love to see all the people I know when I come to IACP. And I love that it’s in SF and I get to share Copita--they’re going over by ferry. I did a tour on Saturday and people loved it. I’ve shared in a different way and am still excited about my restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me with \"Dirt to Digital,\" I don’t know if I put the two together. Yet every single thing I do is fresh. I have an organic farm -- and my next series is called \"Fresh\" for TV. I am always interested in digital media. The market has changed and the whole landscape is changing. My hope is it that it goes back to dirt and less digital. Is that so 'Chez Panisse' of me? (laughs) I do digital but food is still my passion. Perhaps next year the IACP theme should be \"Back to Passion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IACP is pretty current on things. What they’ve done this year is now bloggers have been integrated. I left feeling in past years that I had to do so much on my own blog. I’ve always done food that is following my passion and on what brings about major possibilities for me. I attended a book session that talked about book advance spending and how book tours are back and rely on the digital medium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My trend is always Mexican, and that comes with owning Copita. I saw the trendologist \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccdinnovation.com/about/staff/nielsen.php\">Kara Nielsen\u003c/a> here and she said, \"You couldn’t be in a more trendy thing, with Mexican food and tequila.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do modern Mexican food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We used to think of Italian red tablecloths and Chianti -- yet now Italian food has come a long way. One of the trends here is taking cuisines and elevating and educating around the cuisine. Thomas Keller was talking about that and I have seen that in this conference. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/SarahCopeland500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/SarahCopeland500-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah Copeland at IACP Awards. Photo: Mary Ladd\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-59845\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://edibleliving.com/\">Sarah Copeland\u003c/a> is the Food Director at \u003ca href=\"http://www.realsimple.com/\">Real Simple\u003c/a> and author of “\u003ca href=\"http://www.chroniclebooks.com/the-newlywed-cookbook.html\">The Newlywed Cookbook\u003c/a>: Fresh Ideas and Modern Recipes for Cooking With and For Each Other.” Her book, “Feast” will be published in December this year and she has authored numerous articles and recipes for Real Simple, Saveur, Food & Wine, Health, Martha Stewart Living, Better Homes & Gardens and Food Network Magazine. She has appeared as a guest on The Martha Stewart Show, Good Morning America and ABC News Now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Copeland:\u003c/strong> A lot of the conference is about relationships. I see faces from every different facet of my career and have been reconnecting and catching up on what people are doing that is new and exciting. There’s a chance to celebrate successes while hopefully helping a few people too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On \"Dirt to Digital,\" one of the most challenging things of this industry from my perspective is that I started in print. That part has changed so dramatically in ten years or even five years. For most food people who are in love with food, it is very tactile how we communicate yet that is changing so much. The dirt part communicates place, smell, and touch, which are all the good things. It includes the agriculture, and the farmer. There are so many layers and it is complex with dirt. That’s how food is to me: we touch humanity and civilization, nutrition and wellness. In the digital sphere, how do you capture that? I think we are all figuring that out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did a panel on recipes and copyright for the conference. There were folks from Pillsbury there who were trying to figure out their contest. We also had teachers, bakery owners and bloggers. As Food Director at Real Simple, I have to be savvy and think about those aspects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On almost every panel I ask, 'What’s the best panel?' This year, everyone is focusing on video. I worked at the Food Network -- and yet this industry has been print for so long. With \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOfficialHungry\">Hungry\u003c/a> and YouTube and different avenues, it’s just so video-focused. The trailer for my first book is a minute and a half but my next one will probably be half that, to seventy-five seconds. My new book 'Feast' from Chronicle Books is coming out in December and I’ve learned a few things that I’ll do differently. I am coming away from the conference with the feeling that there is room for every voice and every talent. If you are generous, they will help you, too.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Food blogger Irvin Lin won the Best in Show prize for his photography, and he asked the IACP crowd to “hire me, I'm available,\" a sentiment which was echoed by the next winner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The conference itself is that rare chance to possibly figure out how to eke out a living doing things in the culinary field--it can be exciting but also daunting in the number of possibilities it presents. There were various declarations for members to support each other and that each one \"stands on the shoulders\" of those who have come before and after them. That may sound hokey and like general conference speak yet three people we spoke with found these pronouncements to be inspiring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many attendees shared with Bay Area Bites that the chance of learning from so many different people doing interesting things is one of the main draws of shelling out \u003ca href=\"http://www.iacp.com/attend/more/program_registration_2\">$750 to $950\u003c/a> to register for the full conference—that’s on top of the $280 it costs to initially join IACP. Off the record, we were told that IACP is in the midst of something of a revamp and that costs and programming issues have been noted if not yet changed. These folks said that they attend as much for the learning sessions on, say, the meaning of restaurant reviews in the era of Yelp to getting a lowdown on sourdough or video content strategy. The coffee breaks are also highly valued and networking even happens in the bathrooms. Yes, really. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kale salad and eating local may remain a big trend, but IACP attendees see much, much more at play in the food world. We asked some notable thought leaders to answer a few questions in person: \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>What is this conference about for you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>The theme of the conference is Dirt to Digital; what does it mean to you?\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>How does the theme translate to the food industry?\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>What did you learn about in the workshops and what are the clear trends that emerged from the conference?\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Here are insights from Corby Kummer, Danielle Gould, Sandor Katz, Joanne Weir and Sarah Copeland. Their responses have been edited for length and clarity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/CorbyKummer500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/CorbyKummer500-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"Corby Kummer .

Known as \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/CKummer\">“the dean of food writing,”\u003c/a> Kummer’s 1990 Atlantic series about coffee is a benchmark for excellence in long-form food writing. He is the author of “The Joy of Coffee,” based on his Atlantic series, and the recently published “The Pleasures of Slow Food.” Kummer is the recipient of three James Beard Journalism Awards, including the MFK Fisher Distinguished Writing Award.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kummer:\u003c/strong> This conference is about seeing people who are following food issues on the level of the home cook. It’s about how the things that we in the media are interested in and write about play out in real life and the home of a consumer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IACP has always been the most connected to the real world of any group because it’s people making their living as culinary professionals. They are in touch with sustainability, farming and local issues. I thought the conference was brilliantly named \"Dirt to Digital\" because online is where all of the IACP members need to be marketing themselves and their products.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With social media, no one yet knows how to master it but everyone’s trying to learn. IACP has always been at the forefront of practical and real world applications. That’s a unique role because being so smartly focused attracts the most interesting, lively and active people in the food world. And I’ll take any opportunity to connect with them.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/danielle-gould.jpeg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/danielle-gould-190x190.jpeg\" alt=\"Danielle Gould\" width=\"190\" height=\"190\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-59886\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/dhgisme\">Danielle Gould\u003c/a> is the Founder and CEO of \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodtechconnect.com/\">Food+Tech Connect\u003c/a>, a media company and network for innovators transforming the business of food. Through news and analysis, events, and custom research, Gould helps companies of all sizes drive innovation and understand how information and technology are changing the way food is produced, distributed, and consumed. She is also a founding member of the Culinary Institute of America’s Sustainable Business Leadership Council and is a regular contributor to Forbes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gould:\u003c/strong> This is my first time at IACP and they invited me to talk about food and tech trends and hackathons as a model for food innovation. Our panel touched on the opportunity and the medium, as well as how to demystify technology. It is also about helping people understand the knowledge and the challenges that are out there. We’re trying to empower people to put that knowledge out there where they’re collaborating with designers and developers to solve that problem. I travel the whole country and spread the gospel and learn about how people are thinking. It’s about using technology to help solve problems, spread messages and improve business models and just accelerate innovation that’s happening on a small scale. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, a book would take you two years and a product would take 18 months. For a food producer or chef, that means that it takes awhile to market things. Technology offers opportunities: now you can self-publish that cookbook in close to real time, and get feedback on your product. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Dirt to Digital\" is at the heart of what food technology is. You’re looking across the supply chain, and food is interconnected. It is a system, and that goes to the consumer. A lot of times when people think of digital, they think of consumers. Emerging trends and what role technology is for each trend is a part of that. Technology is very broad and means so much to so many different people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I just love learning how people respond to technology and food and how they use it. The other major takeaway was a lot of the panels weren't very popular or not as sexy but were about funding. Everyone’s having trouble making money in the food space. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BruceAidellsSandor560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/BruceAidellsSandor560-190x190.jpg\" title=\"Karen MacKenzie, Bruce Aidells and Sandor Katz at IACP Awards.

His books “The Art of Fermentation” and “Wild Fermentation,” and the fermentation workshops he has taught across North America and beyond, have helped to catalyze a broad revival of the fermentation arts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> I’ve never been to IACP before. I don’t think of myself as a culinary professional. The work that I do is demystifying and sharing skills with people who aren’t necessarily culinary professionals. The highlight for me has been to meet people whose books are influential. [Katz was sitting with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/12/10/everything-you-need-to-know-about-bruce-aidells/\">Bruce Aidells\u003c/a> when we caught up with him and Aidells shared the table with us while we caught up.]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Aidells:\u003c/strong> What’s good sauerkraut without good sausages?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katz:\u003c/strong> A kraut -- quesadilla is my fast food, and I make it with Pepper Jack. That’s one of my standard meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The theme of the conference is significant. What does \"Dirt to Digital\" mean? I was just on this panel that was high tech versus low tech yet I don’t necessarily see things that way. I’m interested in understanding these processes in their simplicity. So that doesn’t mean you can’t use technology to have more control over the processes. It’s very empowering to see how the underlying principles don't need equipment. If you get involved in sausage making, you can use a funnel for the casing. You can also just be there with you hands, pushing the meat through to the casing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For cheese, you can buy nice molds, perhaps. There are elegant crocks to make things but you can also do it with a jar that’s already in your pantry. I appreciate the conference and there’s much information spreading by digital means but it may be telling people how to use their hands. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/JoanneWeir500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/JoanneWeir500-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"Joanne Weir at IACP Awards.

She is the chef-owner of \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/04/29/copita-tequileria-y-comida-joanne-weir-and-larry-mindel%E2%80%99s-mexico-in-sausalito/\">Copita\u003c/a>, a tequileria and restaurant in Sausalito. The author of 17 cookbooks, including the newly released “Cooking Confidence,” Joanne is the Culinary Editor at Large at Fine Cooking! magazine. She travels and teaches extensively around the world as well as in her studio kitchen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Weir:\u003c/strong> This conference was so interesting because I’ve approached it differently as a restaurateur this year. I usually approach it as “I write for magazines” or my cookbooks or how to fill your cooking classes. This time I’m taking in things that are really different. I want to sit in on the reviewing and Yelping session. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still love to see all the people I know when I come to IACP. And I love that it’s in SF and I get to share Copita--they’re going over by ferry. I did a tour on Saturday and people loved it. I’ve shared in a different way and am still excited about my restaurant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me with \"Dirt to Digital,\" I don’t know if I put the two together. Yet every single thing I do is fresh. I have an organic farm -- and my next series is called \"Fresh\" for TV. I am always interested in digital media. The market has changed and the whole landscape is changing. My hope is it that it goes back to dirt and less digital. Is that so 'Chez Panisse' of me? (laughs) I do digital but food is still my passion. Perhaps next year the IACP theme should be \"Back to Passion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IACP is pretty current on things. What they’ve done this year is now bloggers have been integrated. I left feeling in past years that I had to do so much on my own blog. I’ve always done food that is following my passion and on what brings about major possibilities for me. I attended a book session that talked about book advance spending and how book tours are back and rely on the digital medium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My trend is always Mexican, and that comes with owning Copita. I saw the trendologist \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccdinnovation.com/about/staff/nielsen.php\">Kara Nielsen\u003c/a> here and she said, \"You couldn’t be in a more trendy thing, with Mexican food and tequila.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I do modern Mexican food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We used to think of Italian red tablecloths and Chianti -- yet now Italian food has come a long way. One of the trends here is taking cuisines and elevating and educating around the cuisine. Thomas Keller was talking about that and I have seen that in this conference. \u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/SarahCopeland500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/04/SarahCopeland500-190x190.jpg\" alt=\"Sarah Copeland at IACP Awards.

She has appeared as a guest on The Martha Stewart Show, Good Morning America and ABC News Now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Copeland:\u003c/strong> A lot of the conference is about relationships. I see faces from every different facet of my career and have been reconnecting and catching up on what people are doing that is new and exciting. There’s a chance to celebrate successes while hopefully helping a few people too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On \"Dirt to Digital,\" one of the most challenging things of this industry from my perspective is that I started in print. That part has changed so dramatically in ten years or even five years. For most food people who are in love with food, it is very tactile how we communicate yet that is changing so much. The dirt part communicates place, smell, and touch, which are all the good things. It includes the agriculture, and the farmer. There are so many layers and it is complex with dirt. That’s how food is to me: we touch humanity and civilization, nutrition and wellness. In the digital sphere, how do you capture that? I think we are all figuring that out. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did a panel on recipes and copyright for the conference. There were folks from Pillsbury there who were trying to figure out their contest. We also had teachers, bakery owners and bloggers. As Food Director at Real Simple, I have to be savvy and think about those aspects. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With \u003ca href=\"http://www.youtube.com/user/TheOfficialHungry\">Hungry\u003c/a> and YouTube and different avenues, it’s just so video-focused. The trailer for my first book is a minute and a half but my next one will probably be half that, to seventy-five seconds. My new book 'Feast' from Chronicle Books is coming out in December and I’ve learned a few things that I’ll do differently. I am coming away from the conference with the feeling that there is room for every voice and every talent. If you are generous, they will help you, too.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Bay Area\u003c/a>), invited members of the audience to come to the microphone and share their stories. Some people honored departed members of the Asian American community who had given generously of their time, food and wisdom. Many younger speakers typified a new energy and dedication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Murphy, 27, owner of \u003ca href=\"http://sosusauces.com/\">Sosu Sauces\u003c/a> and the person wearing the ketchup/sriracha T-shirt, has started her own business making spicy sauces. She told the crowd how she immigrated from Shanghai to the U.S. when she was nine, speaking only Mandarin. \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Learning English in fifth grade was the hardest thing, but everyday after school, when my aunt cooked traditional Chinese food for dinner, I watched and learned. It was a way for me to build confidence. Food was also a way to communicate with my Irish-American step-father who only spoke English.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Murphy says she did “typical Asian American things,” like attend UC Berkeley and work in banking and finance, but realized that she usually spent her days talking about food with friends. When she told her “very traditional mother” she planned to quit her well-paying high-tech job and do something she loved, her mother was shocked, “A food business?” her mother demanded, “Why are you are going \u003cem>backward\u003c/em>?” Murphy explains that as Asians immigrate to the U.S., their first jobs are commonly cooking or doing deliveries for a restaurant. Now that her expanded line of spicy sauces is carried in stores like \u003ca href=\"http://www.biritemarket.com/\">Bi-Rite Market\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.rainbow.coop/\">Rainbow Grocery\u003c/a>, however, she reports that her mother is more accepting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Murphy’s story of re-invention might be the perfect narrative for Lee’s film. One thing Lee is quick to admit is not perfect, however, is the film’s working title, “Asian Chops.” She hopes someone will suggest a better one. “PBS held a focus group and 'Asian Chops' was the best they came up with. It beat out other titles like 'Wok Across America' and 'Chop Suey Nation.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59090\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Eric-Ehler400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Eric-Ehler400.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Ehler of Seoul Patch and Gung Ho Restaurant rediscovered his cultural roots in Korea\" width=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59090\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eric Ehler of Seoul Patch and Gung Ho Restaurant rediscovered his cultural roots in Korea\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another attendee at Saturday’s launch, Eric Ehler, chef at \u003ca href=\"http://www.gunghosf.com/about-gung-ho1.html\">Gung Ho Restaurant\u003c/a>, asked Lee to include stories with regional diversity. “Originally I’m from Iowa and I’m a Korean adoptee. It would be great for this show to connect with other Asian adoptees. We’re still Asian American. As a cook, I feel it’s my duty is to educate and help Korean adoptees understand more about their culture and traditions. When I left culinary school at 18, I went to Italy thinking I wanted to cook Italian and French cuisine. But ultimately I decided I needed to learn to cook Korean, it’s part of my heritage. So two years ago, I took my first trip to Seoul, tried to learn the language, and cooked at a restaurant there. I came back and started a pop-up called Seoul Patch. This show is important; it can inspire people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grace Lee definitely wants her film to explore boundaries beyond the big cities of the East and West Coasts. Lee was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, where she was afraid people thought her Korean American family was “weird and exotic.” “We had two refrigerators (one was for kimchi) and always worried about offending our neighbors.” She plans to include film shoots in the South and Midwest. “I’m excited to embark on this journey,” says Lee, “but I realize the topic is almost limitless. It’s not specifically about cooking, travel or famous chefs, but more about people we’ve never heard of: farmers, suppliers, the guy who introduced sushi to Texas.”\u003cbr>\nProducer Louise Lo told the crowd, “This unique point of view will hopefully come from people like you, who want to submit ideas. This is the first event to find out what you think should be included in the film. For the ideas that don’t make it into the film, we’ll also have web videos, blogs, recipes, photo essays on \u003ca href=\"www.pbs.org/food\">PBS.org/Food\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59092\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Indigo-Som400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Indigo-Som400.jpg\" alt=\"Indigo Som has strong opinions about Asian-American food\" width=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59092\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Indigo Som has strong opinions about Asian-American food\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think you can really talk about Asian food in America without talking about racism and identity,\" commented Indigo Som, a visual artist, who worked on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.well.com/~indigo/crpintro.html\">project photographing Chinese restaurants\u003c/a> in places like Wyoming where there were very few Chinese people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of my pet peeves is the perception that Asian food should be cheap. And it’s supposed to be grungy and dive-y. Then I think, ‘Oh, is that because Chinese people are cheap and dirty?’ And as a foodie,\" Som said, \"it’s very frustrating to me because I want really good ingredients in my Chinese food and it’s hard to find a restaurant that does that because I guess most people won’t support it. For example, at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ramenshop.com/\">Ramen Shop\u003c/a> in Oakland, most people are like ‘Oh my God, $14 for a bowl of ramen! It’s a crime.’ No it’s not, it’s because the ingredients are so much better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59091\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Hyunjoo-Albrecht400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Hyunjoo-Albrecht400.jpg\" alt=\"Hyunjoo Albrecht makes and sells kimchi from her Grandmother's recipes\" width=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59091\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hyunjoo Albrecht makes and sells kimchi from her Grandmother's recipes\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Hyunjoo Albrecht, came to the U.S. from South Korea 10 years ago. “As the oldest daughter in the family, I did a lot of housework and learned to make my grandmother’s kimchi…but thanks to my grandmother, now \u003ca href=\"http://www.sintogourmet.com/\">I make her kimchi\u003c/a> and sell it at grocery stores and the farmers market.”\u003cbr>\n“I think every Korean child has this experience:\" Albrecht added smiling, \"you eat a lot of galbi or barbeque and your stomach gets upset and your grandmother always brings you a bowl of kimchi juice and makes you drink it and it really calms your stomach. So now besides the kimchi, I have the juice left over and I’m selling this and I named it 'Kimchi Aid.' My grandmother couldn’t read; of course she didn’t know what 'probiotic' was, but she learned from experience it was good for the digestion. Now I have chiropractors and doctors asking me if I have any kimchi juice?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With one story easily leading to the next, time was for the launch was soon over. “I know this is a huge project for one-hour documentary,\" said Grace Lee, \"But maybe it can be a jumping off point for more.

One thing Lee is quick to admit is not perfect, however, is the film’s working title, “Asian Chops.” She hopes someone will suggest a better one. “PBS held a focus group and 'Asian Chops' was the best they came up with. It beat out other titles like 'Wok Across America' and 'Chop Suey Nation.'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59090\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Eric-Ehler400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Eric-Ehler400.jpg\" alt=\"Eric Ehler of Seoul Patch and Gung Ho Restaurant rediscovered his cultural roots in Korea\" width=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59090\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eric Ehler of Seoul Patch and Gung Ho Restaurant rediscovered his cultural roots in Korea\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Another attendee at Saturday’s launch, Eric Ehler, chef at \u003ca href=\"http://www.gunghosf.com/about-gung-ho1.html\">Gung Ho Restaurant\u003c/a>, asked Lee to include stories with regional diversity. “Originally I’m from Iowa and I’m a Korean adoptee. It would be great for this show to connect with other Asian adoptees. We’re still Asian American. As a cook, I feel it’s my duty is to educate and help Korean adoptees understand more about their culture and traditions. When I left culinary school at 18, I went to Italy thinking I wanted to cook Italian and French cuisine. But ultimately I decided I needed to learn to cook Korean, it’s part of my heritage. So two years ago, I took my first trip to Seoul, tried to learn the language, and cooked at a restaurant there. I came back and started a pop-up called Seoul Patch. This show is important; it can inspire people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Grace Lee definitely wants her film to explore boundaries beyond the big cities of the East and West Coasts. Lee was born and raised in Columbia, Missouri, where she was afraid people thought her Korean American family was “weird and exotic.” “We had two refrigerators (one was for kimchi) and always worried about offending our neighbors.” She plans to include film shoots in the South and Midwest. “I’m excited to embark on this journey,” says Lee, “but I realize the topic is almost limitless. It’s not specifically about cooking, travel or famous chefs, but more about people we’ve never heard of: farmers, suppliers, the guy who introduced sushi to Texas.”\u003cbr>\nProducer Louise Lo told the crowd, “This unique point of view will hopefully come from people like you, who want to submit ideas. This is the first event to find out what you think should be included in the film. For the ideas that don’t make it into the film, we’ll also have web videos, blogs, recipes, photo essays on \u003ca href=\"www.pbs.org/food\">PBS.org/Food\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_59092\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 200px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Indigo-Som400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Indigo-Som400.jpg\" alt=\"Indigo Som has strong opinions about Asian-American food\" width=\"200\" class=\"size-full wp-image-59092\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Indigo Som has strong opinions about Asian-American food\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think you can really talk about Asian food in America without talking about racism and identity,\" commented Indigo Som, a visual artist, who worked on a \u003ca href=\"http://www.well.com/~indigo/crpintro.html\">project photographing Chinese restaurants\u003c/a> in places like Wyoming where there were very few Chinese people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"One of my pet peeves is the perception that Asian food should be cheap.

For example, at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ramenshop.com/\">Ramen Shop\u003c/a> in Oakland, most people are like ‘Oh my God, $14 for a bowl of ramen!

So now besides the kimchi, I have the juice left over and I’m selling this and I named it 'Kimchi Aid.'

Who'd have known that the key to this Indian-Pakistani recipe for lamb biryani would be the French cooking mantra of mise-en-place? Or that the minute it takes for the pile of spices to get \"aromatic\" in hot oil is not nearly long enough to both measure and photograph them before they turn to ashes?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More important, why am I taking my first stab at this recipe on a Sunday morning, with my coffee growing cold while I scurry around my spice-infused kitchen?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blame it on the lamb.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the members of our weekly \"home group,\" about a dozen people from our church gathering for a meal and Bible study, announced that his Pennsylvania parents raise lamb. Our food-minded group couldn't resist. His parents have the lamb butchered once a year and freeze the meat for sale year-round, nearly giving it away at about $5 a pound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We put in an order and, a couple of weeks later, my freezer was teeming with the goods. Chops, legs, ribs and the ground variety — it was more than enough inspiration for a month's worth of Sunday meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our group divvies up the cooking labor and is full of adventurous gastronomes. (When one of our members snagged a deer with his new crossbow — we are in Virginia — we gladly worked venison chili onto the menu.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I hoped the lamb would incorporate each family's culinary background, especially the Kumars'. But despite her husband's Indian descent and her experience with Indian cuisine, Marsha Kumar wanted to make the pastitsio (a Greek noodle casserole layered with bechamel sauce and ground lamb). This left me with the biryani, a complex rice- and spice-based dish that reminded me yet again not to cut hot peppers before I put in my contact lenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christi, who grinds grain to make her own bread each week, raised her hand for the first meal: spice-crusted lamb chops with a tangy yogurt sauce, accompanied by the roast vegetables the rest of us would bring. And I planned to make a simple roast leg of lamb and ribs as the \u003cem>piece de resistance\u003c/em> and final meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After discovering my love of lamb via Greek and Indian restaurants, I was surprised to find out later that some people don't have a taste for it, although everyone in our group does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protein that is ubiquitous in Middle Eastern dishes is less common in American cuisine. That is, until Easter, when lamb and ham battle it out for which will be the centerpiece of the holiday meal. There is a seasonal price dip about this time of year, so it's a good time to experiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people confuse lamb with its less-tender relative, mutton (older sheep), which is even more of an acquired taste. Others don't like the somewhat gamey aroma lamb gives off under fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But layer in the right mix of flavors — and a bechamel sauce never hurts — and lamb has a way of absorbing, altering and making a meal out of the spices that go into a dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To me, it's the epitome of comfort food as the weather begins to thaw into spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best part about our group's lamb-centric meals, besides having a connection to the people who raised the meat, was the way they fostered community as only a true sit-down sort of feast can (even if it's followed by a communal food coma). We collaborated on recipes, complimented one another's handiwork and ate — a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a splendid precursor to the spring season, when lamb will get the recognition it deserves on more than a few Easter Sunday tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"chops\">\u003c/a>Recipe: Pistachio, Mint And Spice Crusted Lamb Chops\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We adapted this recipe from The Sophisticated Gourmet blog and replaced some traditional Middle Eastern spices, like sumac, with easy-to-find ingredients.

Our food-minded group couldn't resist. His parents have the lamb butchered once a year and freeze the meat for sale year-round, nearly giving it away at about $5 a pound.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We put in an order and, a couple of weeks later, my freezer was teeming with the goods. Chops, legs, ribs and the ground variety — it was more than enough inspiration for a month's worth of Sunday meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our group divvies up the cooking labor and is full of adventurous gastronomes. (When one of our members snagged a deer with his new crossbow — we are in Virginia — we gladly worked venison chili onto the menu.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I hoped the lamb would incorporate each family's culinary background, especially the Kumars'. But despite her husband's Indian descent and her experience with Indian cuisine, Marsha Kumar wanted to make the pastitsio (a Greek noodle casserole layered with bechamel sauce and ground lamb). This left me with the biryani, a complex rice- and spice-based dish that reminded me yet again not to cut hot peppers before I put in my contact lenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christi, who grinds grain to make her own bread each week, raised her hand for the first meal: spice-crusted lamb chops with a tangy yogurt sauce, accompanied by the roast vegetables the rest of us would bring. And I planned to make a simple roast leg of lamb and ribs as the \u003cem>piece de resistance\u003c/em> and final meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After discovering my love of lamb via Greek and Indian restaurants, I was surprised to find out later that some people don't have a taste for it, although everyone in our group does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The protein that is ubiquitous in Middle Eastern dishes is less common in American cuisine. That is, until Easter, when lamb and ham battle it out for which will be the centerpiece of the holiday meal. There is a seasonal price dip about this time of year, so it's a good time to experiment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people confuse lamb with its less-tender relative, mutton (older sheep), which is even more of an acquired taste. Others don't like the somewhat gamey aroma lamb gives off under fire.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But layer in the right mix of flavors — and a bechamel sauce never hurts — and lamb has a way of absorbing, altering and making a meal out of the spices that go into a dish.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To me, it's the epitome of comfort food as the weather begins to thaw into spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Perhaps the best part about our group's lamb-centric meals, besides having a connection to the people who raised the meat, was the way they fostered community as only a true sit-down sort of feast can (even if it's followed by a communal food coma). We collaborated on recipes, complimented one another's handiwork and ate — a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was a splendid precursor to the spring season, when lamb will get the recognition it deserves on more than a few Easter Sunday tables.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003ch3>\u003ca name=\"chops\">\u003c/a>Recipe: Pistachio, Mint And Spice Crusted Lamb Chops\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>We adapted this recipe from The Sophisticated Gourmet blog and replaced some traditional Middle Eastern spices, like sumac, with easy-to-find ingredients.
