He has expert knowledge of pastry and culinary methods and knew the temperature of sugar just by looking at it. Now I really appreciate the discipline of cooks. All of our cooks tie garbage bags well, sweep well, dice well… so you see a real sense of caring and a craft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local: Mission Eatery Executive Chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.localmissioneatery.com/about-us/founders\">Jake Des Voignes\u003c/a> is a mentor and helped me understand how the kitchen works. I’m really appreciative of him, as well as \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2010/03/flour-water-ingredients-for-business-success-in-the-mission/\">David Steele\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/about/\">David White\u003c/a> – and more of the folks from flour + water, and Sebo helped me. \u003ca href=\"http://starchefs.com/chefs/rising_stars/2007/sf/html/bio_l_jossel_.shtml\">Laurence Jossel\u003c/a>, too. Early on I talked to people and got little tidbits of information, which can be really encouraging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: What are the best and worst things about being a restaurateur?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> I really love what I do and that I have 27 employees between the two restaurants. What we do well supports 27 people and makes their lives possible. Between the two restaurants, we spend tens of thousands of dollars on food and wine and literally know the people who produce our food, wine, cheese, and olive oil... We’ve visited them and they visit us. To have relatively small restaurants and have a big impact is great. I love being around delicious food and being able to taste and give feedback on it each day. I walk between the two spots and see neighbors -- we meet at the park, we go to each others homes. I love that my kids have this sense of family with staff and it’s special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m very lucky, because I bring my son to school and pick him up every day. I eat dinner with my family and work till one or two every night. I’ve been able to grow the business and still be with them. I don’t think anyone could be luckier than that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst aspects are it’s a tremendous amount of pressure and anxiety. Ultimately the buck does stop at the top. Making sure the business continues to operate is on me. All the tens of thousands of dollars we spend and paying those 27 people -- they need to be paid on time. There’s pressure to deliver to our employees and our vendors, and they put a lot of trust in us. Then I have friends and family who helped get this started, so I really want to make good on the promises I made to them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any favorite Bay Area food spots?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> As a family we do mostly eat at home -- we don’t eat at our own restaurants except for Sunday brunch. We eat at \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-metate-san-francisco\">El Metate\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bartartine.com/\">Bar Tartine\u003c/a>. Bar Tartine is so interesting.\u003cbr>\nI like \u003ca href=\"http://www.sebosf.com/site/home.html\">Sebo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://ichisushi.com/\">Ichi\u003c/a> for sushi.\u003cbr>\nI go to \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/\">flour + water\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.salumeriasf.com/\">Salumeria\u003c/a> during the day.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.ippukuberkeley.com/home\">Ippuku\u003c/a> in Berkeley is just phenomenal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Local: Mission Eatery has a selection of cookbooks. Does your training as a scholar have anything to do with the library?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> For me, it’s about being open about your influences. There’s so much of an emphasis on culinary innovation as if it stands on its own. It’s not that there’s nothing new under the sun. It’s really important to me as a scholar and an eater to recognize that ideas have sources. Our culinary tradition is European-based around ingredients and method-based.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Where do you think the U.S. is in terms of appreciation for other cultures food-wise? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> I have very little idea what it looks like between New York and San Francisco. In San Francisco, we have a diversity of food opportunities. You have the Eastern European food which is really taking hold and wines from there as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For authenticity, the Thai food that people are eating has been modified for an American palate. There are regional foods: Thai, Chinese, Italian.... But now we have more of a sense that there is more to, say Italian food: there’s Tuscan food, and there’s Roman food. That is a deep level of appreciation. It’s not just having Thai, Italian or Chinese restaurant; it’s enjoying the heritage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any foods that you enjoy and are a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> In our house we really don’t eat processed or mass produced food. Part of being a parent and creating businesses is to not have or sell packaged goods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We certainly eat ice cream. I don’t know how many days of a week I eat pastries from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kneadpatisserie.com/\">Knead Patisserie\u003c/a>. Right now their Linzer cookie is a favorite. \u003c/p>\n\n",

He has expert knowledge of pastry and culinary methods and knew the temperature of sugar just by looking at it. Now I really appreciate the discipline of cooks. All of our cooks tie garbage bags well, sweep well, dice well… so you see a real sense of caring and a craft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Local: Mission Eatery Executive Chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.localmissioneatery.com/about-us/founders\">Jake Des Voignes\u003c/a> is a mentor and helped me understand how the kitchen works. I’m really appreciative of him, as well as \u003ca href=\"http://missionlocal.org/2010/03/flour-water-ingredients-for-business-success-in-the-mission/\">David Steele\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/about/\">David White\u003c/a> – and more of the folks from flour + water, and Sebo helped me. \u003ca href=\"http://starchefs.com/chefs/rising_stars/2007/sf/html/bio_l_jossel_.shtml\">Laurence Jossel\u003c/a>, too. Early on I talked to people and got little tidbits of information, which can be really encouraging.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: What are the best and worst things about being a restaurateur?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> I really love what I do and that I have 27 employees between the two restaurants. What we do well supports 27 people and makes their lives possible. Between the two restaurants, we spend tens of thousands of dollars on food and wine and literally know the people who produce our food, wine, cheese, and olive oil... We’ve visited them and they visit us. To have relatively small restaurants and have a big impact is great. I love being around delicious food and being able to taste and give feedback on it each day. I walk between the two spots and see neighbors -- we meet at the park, we go to each others homes. I love that my kids have this sense of family with staff and it’s special.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m very lucky, because I bring my son to school and pick him up every day. I eat dinner with my family and work till one or two every night. I’ve been able to grow the business and still be with them. I don’t think anyone could be luckier than that. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst aspects are it’s a tremendous amount of pressure and anxiety. Ultimately the buck does stop at the top. Making sure the business continues to operate is on me. All the tens of thousands of dollars we spend and paying those 27 people -- they need to be paid on time. There’s pressure to deliver to our employees and our vendors, and they put a lot of trust in us. Then I have friends and family who helped get this started, so I really want to make good on the promises I made to them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any favorite Bay Area food spots?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> As a family we do mostly eat at home -- we don’t eat at our own restaurants except for Sunday brunch. We eat at \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-metate-san-francisco\">El Metate\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.bartartine.com/\">Bar Tartine\u003c/a>. Bar Tartine is so interesting.\u003cbr>\nI like \u003ca href=\"http://www.sebosf.com/site/home.html\">Sebo\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://ichisushi.com/\">Ichi\u003c/a> for sushi.\u003cbr>\nI go to \u003ca href=\"http://www.flourandwater.com/\">flour + water\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.salumeriasf.com/\">Salumeria\u003c/a> during the day.\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.ippukuberkeley.com/home\">Ippuku\u003c/a> in Berkeley is just phenomenal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Local: Mission Eatery has a selection of cookbooks. Does your training as a scholar have anything to do with the library?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> For me, it’s about being open about your influences. There’s so much of an emphasis on culinary innovation as if it stands on its own. It’s not that there’s nothing new under the sun. It’s really important to me as a scholar and an eater to recognize that ideas have sources. Our culinary tradition is European-based around ingredients and method-based.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Where do you think the U.S. is in terms of appreciation for other cultures food-wise? \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> I have very little idea what it looks like between New York and San Francisco. In San Francisco, we have a diversity of food opportunities. You have the Eastern European food which is really taking hold and wines from there as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For authenticity, the Thai food that people are eating has been modified for an American palate. There are regional foods: Thai, Chinese, Italian.... But now we have more of a sense that there is more to, say Italian food: there’s Tuscan food, and there’s Roman food. That is a deep level of appreciation. It’s not just having Thai, Italian or Chinese restaurant; it’s enjoying the heritage. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Do you have any foods that you enjoy and are a guilty pleasure?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Milgrom:\u003c/strong> In our house we really don’t eat processed or mass produced food. Part of being a parent and creating businesses is to not have or sell packaged goods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What are the secrets of success? Do you have any horror stories?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins:\u003c/strong> There’s been a lot of ups and downs and we had the boom years in the early years. Back then, the restaurant was so busy and honestly there was a lot of money coming in. Our problems were control and keeping track of everything and the real trick was getting ready for service every day. I was 32 when I opened the restaurant and was more the chef in the kitchen. I’ve evolved to more of a business person and am always looking at how to stay in business. You have to have business acumen and know what’s happening behind the scenes. \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Nieporent\">Drew Nieporent\u003c/a> said “it’s a nickel and dime business and you have to track every nickel and dime.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The most important thing -- and I tell my managers this all the time -- is the guest experience. That is the best marketing tool. You have to be a good listener and listen to what the guests feedback is and what that means. It’s key to being a good chef or restaurateur. The guests will tell you and that’s the name of the game. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first three to four years with Jardinière were insanely busy and then after 9/11 things got a lot trickier. When 9/11 happened our revenue dropped by 20 percent or something like that day to day. That was our most challenging time. 9/11 just sort of sealed the deal and it was really hard. I think a lot of people went out of business at that time. Over the last decade, we haven’t had as many fluctuations but the costs have gone up so much. The public doesn't really see that. How much things cost has changed so much. Our percentages have dwindled due to uncontrollable costs on things like mandatory healthcare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDJ-Morgan_560anniv-party-3.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDJ-Morgan_560anniv-party-3.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Morgan and Traci Des Jardins\" title=\"Chef Morgan and Traci Des Jardins\" width=\"560\" height=\"427\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49001\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chef Morgan Mueller and Traci Des Jardins. Photo courtesy of Chris Gaede\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: What are the best and worst things about running a restaurant?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins: \u003c/strong>The best is that our job is to make people happy. That makes it super, super fun and satisfying. It’s horrifying when they aren’t happy. People are coming in to have a good time and our job is to deliver. It’s kind of like theatre and you’re putting on the best show possible. When the day ends, then the show begins again. There are a lot of tiny, tiny details. My job is super fun; the business part I don't love but the feeding people part is fantastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst part is the amount of effort that goes into what we do every day. There’s not a huge monetary reward. It’s an act of love. Maybe people are making a ton of money and yet -- it seems so expensive. If you knew what goes into that experience then that’s hard. It’s even been exacerbated with the whole celebrity thing because people think that if you are on TV then you must have millions of dollars and you must have a Ferrari (laughs). People are making money from product lines and endorsements and there are folks making a tremendous amount of money but I’m not one of them. With the whole celebrity thing, people think that’s the kind of lifestyle were living. Right now, I’m sitting in my office and it’s really a storeroom. There are dry goods, an ice cream machine, and no place to sit. It’s not all that glamorous. But I love it. That’s the great thing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Can you talk about your role becoming a successful woman in the culinary field? Do you have any positive versus negative experiences regarding being a female in a male dominated profession?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins: \u003c/strong>I’ve never felt discriminated against in this business. I was so young when I started. A lot of what I endured was pure naïveté and putting my head down and I was determined and dogged and I didn’t think about “yeah, I was the only woman.” I didn’t focus on that. I was smaller and wasn’t as strong and the actual physicality was a challenge. It’s harder for me to pick up big bags of stuff; that’s made it harder. Was it hard? Yeah. But it’s hard for everybody. You’ve got to be tough and strong. I think it’s the same answer as every other industry: when faced with taking care of family -- when women have to make that choice, they’re always going to pick the family. That kind of bleeds a lot of people out of the field. When they get to childbearing years, it’s pretty hard to be able to that in our business. Is that discrimination? I think it’s choice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One form of discrimination is more to do with a woman who’s older, which is a Hollywood thing. Actors can be sexy into their 60s and 70s and the women actresses aren’t. It’s the same thing and exacerbated with the celebrity of chefs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nBay Area Bites: Did you feel or notice that when you were on TV? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins: \u003c/strong> I didn't feel it personally. If you look at the men who have been successful and most of the women who are successful, it’s sex appeal and showing cleavage. Right? That’s kind of interesting. For the men, that’s not criteria. They don’t have to be strikingly handsome. None of it’s absolute. There are exceptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: What are you most excited about on the new menu?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins: \u003c/strong>The evolution of the food. I’m excited about the next 15 years. I want this restaurant to be 30 years old. It requires evolution and change. We’ve started out kind of small by changing the format and focus. The menu changes are about my own taste and about what I want to express in the food: I want to have smaller portions because it’s healthier. I don’t like a ton of ingredients -- mostly three to five ingredients. I also want distilled flavors. I’m returning to simplicity. The evolution of the menu is also driven by the products we have here, and the idea is to let them shine. Less is more; accent natural fabulousness and let the ingredients shine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDesJwithJard_Alums560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDesJwithJard_Alums560.jpg\" alt=\"Traci Des Jardin with Jardinere alumni\" title=\"Traci Des Jardin with Jardinere alumni\" width=\"560\" height=\"427\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49003\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Jardinière Alums: L to R with Traci Des Jardins: Lizzie Binder, Deepak Kaul, Michael Hung, Morgan Mueller, Robbie Lewis and Richard Reddington.

The people who have come through my kitchen have been influenced by me. But I wish I had been more of a mentor. It could be something I work on in the next 15 years. I give just by being. I learned by watching. \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Nieporent\">Drew Nieperont\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joachim_Splichal\">Joachim Splichal\u003c/a> are people who had the same sort of huge influence on me.

Back then, the restaurant was so busy and honestly there was a lot of money coming in. Our problems were control and keeping track of everything and the real trick was getting ready for service every day. I was 32 when I opened the restaurant and was more the chef in the kitchen. I’ve evolved to more of a business person and am always looking at how to stay in business. You have to have business acumen and know what’s happening behind the scenes. \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drew_Nieporent\">Drew Nieporent\u003c/a> said “it’s a nickel and dime business and you have to track every nickel and dime.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You have to be a good listener and listen to what the guests feedback is and what that means. It’s key to being a good chef or restaurateur. The guests will tell you and that’s the name of the game. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first three to four years with Jardinière were insanely busy and then after 9/11 things got a lot trickier. When 9/11 happened our revenue dropped by 20 percent or something like that day to day. That was our most challenging time. 9/11 just sort of sealed the deal and it was really hard. I think a lot of people went out of business at that time. Over the last decade, we haven’t had as many fluctuations but the costs have gone up so much. The public doesn't really see that. How much things cost has changed so much. Our percentages have dwindled due to uncontrollable costs on things like mandatory healthcare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDJ-Morgan_560anniv-party-3.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDJ-Morgan_560anniv-party-3.jpg\" alt=\"Chef Morgan and Traci Des Jardins\" title=\"Chef Morgan and Traci Des Jardins\" width=\"560\" height=\"427\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49001\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Chef Morgan Mueller and Traci Des Jardins.

That makes it super, super fun and satisfying. It’s horrifying when they aren’t happy. People are coming in to have a good time and our job is to deliver. It’s kind of like theatre and you’re putting on the best show possible. When the day ends, then the show begins again. There are a lot of tiny, tiny details. My job is super fun; the business part I don't love but the feeding people part is fantastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The worst part is the amount of effort that goes into what we do every day. There’s not a huge monetary reward. It’s an act of love. Maybe people are making a ton of money and yet -- it seems so expensive. If you knew what goes into that experience then that’s hard. It’s even been exacerbated with the whole celebrity thing because people think that if you are on TV then you must have millions of dollars and you must have a Ferrari (laughs). People are making money from product lines and endorsements and there are folks making a tremendous amount of money but I’m not one of them. With the whole celebrity thing, people think that’s the kind of lifestyle were living. Right now, I’m sitting in my office and it’s really a storeroom. There are dry goods, an ice cream machine, and no place to sit. It’s not all that glamorous. But I love it. That’s the great thing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: Can you talk about your role becoming a successful woman in the culinary field? Do you have any positive versus negative experiences regarding being a female in a male dominated profession?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins: \u003c/strong>I’ve never felt discriminated against in this business. I was so young when I started. A lot of what I endured was pure naïveté and putting my head down and I was determined and dogged and I didn’t think about “yeah, I was the only woman.” I didn’t focus on that. I was smaller and wasn’t as strong and the actual physicality was a challenge. It’s harder for me to pick up big bags of stuff; that’s made it harder. Was it hard? Yeah. But it’s hard for everybody. You’ve got to be tough and strong. I think it’s the same answer as every other industry: when faced with taking care of family -- when women have to make that choice, they’re always going to pick the family. That kind of bleeds a lot of people out of the field. When they get to childbearing years, it’s pretty hard to be able to that in our business. Is that discrimination? I think it’s choice. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One form of discrimination is more to do with a woman who’s older, which is a Hollywood thing. Actors can be sexy into their 60s and 70s and the women actresses aren’t. It’s the same thing and exacerbated with the celebrity of chefs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cbr>\nBay Area Bites: Did you feel or notice that when you were on TV? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins: \u003c/strong> I didn't feel it personally. If you look at the men who have been successful and most of the women who are successful, it’s sex appeal and showing cleavage. Right? That’s kind of interesting. For the men, that’s not criteria. They don’t have to be strikingly handsome. None of it’s absolute. There are exceptions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites: What are you most excited about on the new menu?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Des Jardins: \u003c/strong>The evolution of the food. I’m excited about the next 15 years. I want this restaurant to be 30 years old. It requires evolution and change. We’ve started out kind of small by changing the format and focus. The menu changes are about my own taste and about what I want to express in the food: I want to have smaller portions because it’s healthier. I don’t like a ton of ingredients -- mostly three to five ingredients. I also want distilled flavors. I’m returning to simplicity. The evolution of the menu is also driven by the products we have here, and the idea is to let them shine. Less is more; accent natural fabulousness and let the ingredients shine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDesJwithJard_Alums560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/09/BAB_TDesJwithJard_Alums560.jpg\" alt=\"Traci Des Jardin with Jardinere alumni\" title=\"Traci Des Jardin with Jardinere alumni\" width=\"560\" height=\"427\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-49003\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Jardinière Alums: L to R with Traci Des Jardins: Lizzie Binder, Deepak Kaul, Michael Hung, Morgan Mueller, Robbie Lewis and Richard Reddington.

Photo: Heather Johnson\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Hunger is really personal for you. Can you tell us about that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all started when I lost my job suddenly during 2001, right after September 11. I worked in the tourism industry; I was a dancer on cruise ships and in hotels. All of a sudden, I did not have money for food. One month I literally only had a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter for the whole month. There were some days when I was so hungry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was a volunteer doing musical theater at the time and nobody knew. It was hard to go out and try to look for jobs and present myself when I was living in my car and I was weak and exhausted. Fortunately, I was living in Hawaii at the time, so I could shower at the beach. It was really easy to hide it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happened next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got a part-time job at Starbucks and after I got my first paycheck I was able to find a teeny tiny apartment. It was actually a storage shed that had been turned into an apartment by adding a toilet and a refrigerator. Once I paid my rent, my cell phone bill, and electricity for the month I only had one or two dollars a day for food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when I started living off the \u003ca href=\"http://www.jackinthebox.com/menu/product.php?prod_id=value-menu\">Dollar Menu at Jack in the Box\u003c/a>. I would have a chicken sandwich every morning on my way to work and then if I felt I could spare another dollar I'd have two tacos for dinner in the evening. And I ate that way for over a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you find yourself getting creative about where to find free food?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did. Fortunately in Hawaii there are a lot of fruit trees. My church had grapefruit and lychee trees. I knew all the different places around where there were trees I could pick fruit. I had friends who would say let's go out to eat and I would come just to tag along and say I wasn't really hungry and they'd let me finish up food they couldn't eat. That was also part of the reason I kept doing musical theater: We had potlucks all the time. And I was very blessed to have families in my church who would have me over for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What turned things around for you on the food front?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was when a friend gave me a bag of groceries -- she knew me well enough to know I was struggling, although I don't think she knew just how much I was struggling -- and she also knew me well enough that she didn't just give me a bag of groceries. She said she and her husband had gone to the store on the same day and didn't realize it so they had extra food. She didn't want me to feel embarrassed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still remember what was in it: There were two cans of Dole pineapple, bell peppers, cans of beans, soy sauce, and much more. \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/02/how-i-learned-to-cook-with-almost-no-money/\">I wrote it all down, it's on my site.\u003c/a> I was able to cook for myself for a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt so much better that week when I was eating real food instead of fast food. And that's when the light bulb went on for me: What if I take my $7-10 dollars a week to the grocery store? And so I became kind of a student of the grocery store, trying to figure out how to stretch my money, especially in a place like Hawaii, which is astronomically expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I signed up for every free club card. At Starbucks, when people would throw out their newspapers, I would fish them out of the bin and search for coupons. I would look at all the discard bins in the store where they put things on sale because they're dented or about to expire and shop there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the start of my journey learning to cook by using what I had or what was on sale. i had a lot of failures: The worst one was when I tried to use the buttermilk ranch dressing from Jack in the Box with ramen noodles and peas to try to make some kind of pasta. It was terrible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I also had some really great successes, like using the same ramen noodles with some soy sauce packets from a local sushi place -- I couldn't afford sushi but I would go in and take their soy sauce packets and honey packets from a fast food place -- and I used that to make something like a teriyaki sauce. And I'd toss that with some frozen or canned vegetables in a stir fry, maybe with some Spam (Spam is really big in Hawaii). I started with really bare bones stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I learned how to slowly build a pantry. For example, if I only spent $7 one week, and was able to save $3, I'd have enough to buy a big bottle of soy sauce. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe300.jpg\" alt=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" title=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45209\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Johnson focuses on whole foods that nourish like this dish for \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/11/maple-orange-carrots-recipe/\">Orange Maple Carrots\u003c/a>. Photo: Diana Johnson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did your parents know?\u003c/strong> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My parents didn't know a lot of what was going on. After reading about it on my blog, my mom did let on that when she came out to visit back then she was very concerned. She told my dad that I was malnourished: She could just see it in my skin, eyes, and hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I wouldn't have taken their help. At the time we didn't have a good relationship. I was running away from hurts in my life and still hadn't gotten to a place of self-acceptance to be able to then figure out how I fit with the rest of my family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you start blogging about eating on a budget?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband Eric and I met in Washington at church when I was visiting for my sister's college graduation. Three months after I moved there in 2006 we started dating. We actually got married a year to the day after our first date. He would ask me to cook things over again and because I didn't follow recipes, I would type them up on my personal blog -- I called it Dianasaur Dishes -- just so I could keep track of things. I would often put how we saved money on a recipe because we were still on a tight budget -- we made $12,000 between us for the first year we were married. We had about $100 a month for food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you change the name of your blog recently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I chose Eating Richly because I wanted to focus on foods that are rich in both nutrients and flavor. I made the shift a few months ago. Dianasaur Dishes was just for me. But when people started telling me how helpful it was I realized that my blog wasn't just for me, it was for others too, and I really wanted to have a title that better described what the blog does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric and I decided it was something we wanted to work on together as well. Dianasaur Dishes was mine. Eating Richly is ours. That's really important to me. He jokes he's the CTO: Chief technical officer. He's also my chief recipe tester and dish washer. And he also does videos: We shoot them together and he edits them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you still cook on a budget at home and how do you cook now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're still very frugal: Yes, we're both earning and between the two of us, we were able to buy a house -- a foreclosure -- but money is still tight. We also host two exchange students -- they're teenage boys, they eat a lot -- so for the four of us we budget $400 a month on groceries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I make most things from scratch now. I still have a few short-cut items that I'll buy like frozen ravioli -- the kind that are healthy, all natural, and ingredients that I recognize. Sometimes I'll get home and we've had stir fry three times in a row, (it's my go-to 15-minute meal), so we'll boil a pot of water and throw in some ravioli. We like very simple foods. We make lots of frittatas, omelets and salads. We eat sandwiches for lunch almost every day, we slice our own lunch meal--roast beef or turkey breast. I make my own mustard and pickles. I grind my own flour for cookies and pizza dough but i have not learned to bake my own bread well yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/healthy-banana-bread-recipe400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/healthy-banana-bread-recipe300.jpg\" alt=\"healthy banana bread recipe\" title=\"healthy banana bread recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45207\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Johnson's version of \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/03/whole-wheat-banana-bread-recipe/\">Healthy Banana Bread\u003c/a>. Photo: Diana Johnson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What have you learned about working with the hungry for four years?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest thing I've learned, in the program I created called \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/healthy-cooking-classes/\">Healthy Cooking on a Tight Budget\u003c/a>, is something I should have known from my own experience: Hunger is not recognizable. You can be in a room full of people and not know that a tenth of them are struggling with hunger. Recently, at a food bank in my area, a doctor who had just lost his practice because of the economy came in because he didn't have money for food. Hunger is humbling for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Any myths about the hungry you'd like to debunk?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't think the stereotypes around hunger are always accurate. Some people think that those who are hungry are homeless or have made poor choices and that's why they're hungry. But there are so many people who are hungry from losing a job or getting injured and being unable to work or just because of circumstances like a death in the family. You just never know. It could be your neighbor, it could be your third grade teacher, or it could be you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the challenges helping hungry people?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some food banks have the mindset that we just need to get food to people, no matter what its nutritional value. That's something that I run into regularly. One of the food banks I teach classes at gives away giant platters of donated cakes to kids and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What really makes me sad is a lot of these people are taking the bus or walking to the food bank so they get their bag of groceries, and there are bags with apples, onions, and potatoes, and these huge trays of cupcakes. If they can't carry it all home they tend to leave the bag of apples and carry the cupcakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes it can just get discouraging and tiring -- there's so much need out there -- and sometimes people don't know what to do with basic staples like dried beans, rice, or plain yogurt. I'm creating specific recipes for these items that can just get stuck in the bag that goes home so people have some ideas about what to do with the ingredients they get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/031212easy-chicken-salad-recipe560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/031212easy-chicken-salad-recipe560.jpg\" alt=\"easy chicken salad recipe\" title=\"easy chicken salad recipe\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45204\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>The recipe developer focuses on simple, \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/03/parmesan-crusted-chicken/\">nutritious dishes\u003c/a> that taste good too. Photo: Diana Johnson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's rewarding about what you do in your community cooking classes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I enjoy hearing people's stories and seeing them have that light bulb moment like I had when I got that bag of groceries. Every time there are new people in my classes I want them to know I'm not just some foodie coming in and telling them what to do. It helps to share my story. I've talked with food bloggers who can't believe that some people don't make everything from scratch. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I've used the $1 box of noodles that were absolutely horrible and had no nutritional value but was the best I knew at the time. Still, it was a step above fast food. It gives me an understanding of what's realistic and that you have to take baby steps.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Photo: Heather Johnson\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Hunger is really personal for you. Can you tell us about that?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It all started when I lost my job suddenly during 2001, right after September 11. I worked in the tourism industry; I was a dancer on cruise ships and in hotels. All of a sudden, I did not have money for food. One month I literally only had a loaf of bread and a jar of peanut butter for the whole month. There were some days when I was so hungry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was a volunteer doing musical theater at the time and nobody knew. It was hard to go out and try to look for jobs and present myself when I was living in my car and I was weak and exhausted. Fortunately, I was living in Hawaii at the time, so I could shower at the beach. It was really easy to hide it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What happened next?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I got a part-time job at Starbucks and after I got my first paycheck I was able to find a teeny tiny apartment. It was actually a storage shed that had been turned into an apartment by adding a toilet and a refrigerator. Once I paid my rent, my cell phone bill, and electricity for the month I only had one or two dollars a day for food.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when I started living off the \u003ca href=\"http://www.jackinthebox.com/menu/product.php?prod_id=value-menu\">Dollar Menu at Jack in the Box\u003c/a>. I would have a chicken sandwich every morning on my way to work and then if I felt I could spare another dollar I'd have two tacos for dinner in the evening. And I ate that way for over a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Did you find yourself getting creative about where to find free food?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I did. Fortunately in Hawaii there are a lot of fruit trees. My church had grapefruit and lychee trees. I knew all the different places around where there were trees I could pick fruit. I had friends who would say let's go out to eat and I would come just to tag along and say I wasn't really hungry and they'd let me finish up food they couldn't eat. That was also part of the reason I kept doing musical theater: We had potlucks all the time. And I was very blessed to have families in my church who would have me over for dinner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What turned things around for you on the food front?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It was when a friend gave me a bag of groceries -- she knew me well enough to know I was struggling, although I don't think she knew just how much I was struggling -- and she also knew me well enough that she didn't just give me a bag of groceries. She said she and her husband had gone to the store on the same day and didn't realize it so they had extra food. She didn't want me to feel embarrassed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I still remember what was in it: There were two cans of Dole pineapple, bell peppers, cans of beans, soy sauce, and much more. \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/02/how-i-learned-to-cook-with-almost-no-money/\">I wrote it all down, it's on my site.\u003c/a> I was able to cook for myself for a week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I felt so much better that week when I was eating real food instead of fast food. And that's when the light bulb went on for me: What if I take my $7-10 dollars a week to the grocery store? And so I became kind of a student of the grocery store, trying to figure out how to stretch my money, especially in a place like Hawaii, which is astronomically expensive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I signed up for every free club card. At Starbucks, when people would throw out their newspapers, I would fish them out of the bin and search for coupons. I would look at all the discard bins in the store where they put things on sale because they're dented or about to expire and shop there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This was the start of my journey learning to cook by using what I had or what was on sale. i had a lot of failures: The worst one was when I tried to use the buttermilk ranch dressing from Jack in the Box with ramen noodles and peas to try to make some kind of pasta. It was terrible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I also had some really great successes, like using the same ramen noodles with some soy sauce packets from a local sushi place -- I couldn't afford sushi but I would go in and take their soy sauce packets and honey packets from a fast food place -- and I used that to make something like a teriyaki sauce. And I'd toss that with some frozen or canned vegetables in a stir fry, maybe with some Spam (Spam is really big in Hawaii). I started with really bare bones stuff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I learned how to slowly build a pantry. For example, if I only spent $7 one week, and was able to save $3, I'd have enough to buy a big bottle of soy sauce. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/orange-maple-carrots-recipe300.jpg\" alt=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" title=\"orange maple carrots recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45209\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Johnson focuses on whole foods that nourish like this dish for \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/11/maple-orange-carrots-recipe/\">Orange Maple Carrots\u003c/a>.

After reading about it on my blog, my mom did let on that when she came out to visit back then she was very concerned. She told my dad that I was malnourished: She could just see it in my skin, eyes, and hair.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But I wouldn't have taken their help. At the time we didn't have a good relationship. I was running away from hurts in my life and still hadn't gotten to a place of self-acceptance to be able to then figure out how I fit with the rest of my family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you start blogging about eating on a budget?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My husband Eric and I met in Washington at church when I was visiting for my sister's college graduation. Three months after I moved there in 2006 we started dating. We actually got married a year to the day after our first date. He would ask me to cook things over again and because I didn't follow recipes, I would type them up on my personal blog -- I called it Dianasaur Dishes -- just so I could keep track of things. I would often put how we saved money on a recipe because we were still on a tight budget -- we made $12,000 between us for the first year we were married. We had about $100 a month for food. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why did you change the name of your blog recently?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I chose Eating Richly because I wanted to focus on foods that are rich in both nutrients and flavor. I made the shift a few months ago. Dianasaur Dishes was just for me. But when people started telling me how helpful it was I realized that my blog wasn't just for me, it was for others too, and I really wanted to have a title that better described what the blog does.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eric and I decided it was something we wanted to work on together as well. Dianasaur Dishes was mine. Eating Richly is ours. That's really important to me. He jokes he's the CTO: Chief technical officer. He's also my chief recipe tester and dish washer. And he also does videos: We shoot them together and he edits them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do you still cook on a budget at home and how do you cook now?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're still very frugal: Yes, we're both earning and between the two of us, we were able to buy a house -- a foreclosure -- but money is still tight. We also host two exchange students -- they're teenage boys, they eat a lot -- so for the four of us we budget $400 a month on groceries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I make most things from scratch now. I still have a few short-cut items that I'll buy like frozen ravioli -- the kind that are healthy, all natural, and ingredients that I recognize. Sometimes I'll get home and we've had stir fry three times in a row, (it's my go-to 15-minute meal), so we'll boil a pot of water and throw in some ravioli. We like very simple foods. We make lots of frittatas, omelets and salads. We eat sandwiches for lunch almost every day, we slice our own lunch meal--roast beef or turkey breast. I make my own mustard and pickles. I grind my own flour for cookies and pizza dough but i have not learned to bake my own bread well yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/healthy-banana-bread-recipe400.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/healthy-banana-bread-recipe300.jpg\" alt=\"healthy banana bread recipe\" title=\"healthy banana bread recipe\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45207\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Johnson's version of \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/03/whole-wheat-banana-bread-recipe/\">Healthy Banana Bread\u003c/a>. Photo: Diana Johnson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What have you learned about working with the hungry for four years?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest thing I've learned, in the program I created called \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/healthy-cooking-classes/\">Healthy Cooking on a Tight Budget\u003c/a>, is something I should have known from my own experience: Hunger is not recognizable. You can be in a room full of people and not know that a tenth of them are struggling with hunger. Recently, at a food bank in my area, a doctor who had just lost his practice because of the economy came in because he didn't have money for food. Hunger is humbling for everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Any myths about the hungry you'd like to debunk?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I don't think the stereotypes around hunger are always accurate. Some people think that those who are hungry are homeless or have made poor choices and that's why they're hungry. But there are so many people who are hungry from losing a job or getting injured and being unable to work or just because of circumstances like a death in the family. You just never know. It could be your neighbor, it could be your third grade teacher, or it could be you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What are some of the challenges helping hungry people?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some food banks have the mindset that we just need to get food to people, no matter what its nutritional value. That's something that I run into regularly. One of the food banks I teach classes at gives away giant platters of donated cakes to kids and families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What really makes me sad is a lot of these people are taking the bus or walking to the food bank so they get their bag of groceries, and there are bags with apples, onions, and potatoes, and these huge trays of cupcakes. If they can't carry it all home they tend to leave the bag of apples and carry the cupcakes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes it can just get discouraging and tiring -- there's so much need out there -- and sometimes people don't know what to do with basic staples like dried beans, rice, or plain yogurt. I'm creating specific recipes for these items that can just get stuck in the bag that goes home so people have some ideas about what to do with the ingredients they get.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/031212easy-chicken-salad-recipe560.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/031212easy-chicken-salad-recipe560.jpg\" alt=\"easy chicken salad recipe\" title=\"easy chicken salad recipe\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45204\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>The recipe developer focuses on simple, \u003ca href=\"http://eatingrichly.com/03/parmesan-crusted-chicken/\">nutritious dishes\u003c/a> that taste good too. Photo: Diana Johnson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's rewarding about what you do in your community cooking classes?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I enjoy hearing people's stories and seeing them have that light bulb moment like I had when I got that bag of groceries. Every time there are new people in my classes I want them to know I'm not just some foodie coming in and telling them what to do. It helps to share my story. I've talked with food bloggers who can't believe that some people don't make everything from scratch. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What was the initial inspiration for creating this new multimedia series, \"The Lexicon of Sustainability\"?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I spent nearly ten years living in Pistoia, a Tuscan town set between Lucca and Florence. When I arrived my Italian was poor and I didn’t know many people. Then a comedic sequence of events led to my working in the kitchen of a trendy hillside restaurant. I say “comedic” because I didn’t really cook before that experience, nor did I have much interest in food. What I learned there became my introduction to Slow Food, even if I didn’t know what the term meant. That accidental awakening started me on a journey to document the people of my town, how they lived, and the role food played as a fundamental part of their lives. My work began as a film, then a series of essays which culminated in the information artworks that eventually were published in a book called \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.randomhouse.com/book/58794/slow-life-in-a-tuscan-town-by-douglas-gayeton\">SLOW: Life in a Tuscan Town\u003c/a>.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I traveled around the USA with \"Slow,\" I was struck by how little the principles of the Slow Food movement, borne from over 2000 years of Italian cultural evolution, made sense in America. Our experience in this country, our historic relationship with food, and primarily the broken state of our food system require us to look at food in a much different way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since World War II, we have raced to centralize our food system, to consolidate manufacturing and eliminate local distribution hubs. We have become dependent on inefficient and inequitable farm subsidies and addicted to chemical solutions to maintain agricultural production at artificial levels, with no care for the environmental consequences. In doing so we have turned food into a commodity utterly stripped of its most precious cultural aspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The solution? We need a Marshall Plan to fix our food system, one that rebuilds the infrastructure necessary for healthy local food hubs in each community. We do this first by living more sustainably. Our project is an attempt to identify the most authentic voices in this movement and illuminate the terms and principles that define their innovative work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/chicken-and-man-e1335989275372.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/chicken-and-man-e1335989275372.jpg\" alt=\"chicken and man\" title=\"chicken and man\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42698\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Image Credit: Douglas Gayeton / The Lexicon of Sustainability\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lexiconofsustainability.com/\">\"The Lexicon of Sustainability\"\u003c/a> is therefore based on a simple premise: people can’t be expected to live more sustainable lives if they don’t even know the most basic terms and principles that define sustainability. By illuminating the vocabulary of sustainable agriculture, and with it the conversation about America’s rapidly evolving food culture, the \"Lexicon of Sustainability\" can help people to pay closer attention to how they eat, what they buy, and where their responsibility begins for creating a healthier, safer food system in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The visuals for \"Lexicon\" are stunning, particularly the mosaic-like compositions that marry photographs, text, animation and video interview in a truly unique way. How did you develop this unique aesthetic? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Italian images in my book “SLOW” began as a happy accident. I quickly learned that a single image was not enough. Not only were my images too small, but they also lacked the ability to convey the concept of “time,” of the beginning, middle and end of things. The idea of capturing hundreds of images, at times over long periods of time, then creating mosaics seemed like the only solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to overlay these images with text came at about the same time. I wanted to convey what these people said to me as I worked. I wanted to share their insights, their observations. And I also wanted to solve another problem I had with photographs, namely that they often left so much unanswered. I wanted to provide as much information as possible within an image, to create what someone once called a “flat film,” a single image that actually uses time, that tells a story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/fiftypercent_fromvideo.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/fiftypercent_fromvideo.jpg\" alt=\"fifty percent live in cities\" title=\"fifty percent live in cities\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42689\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Image Credit: Douglas Gayeton / The Lexicon of Sustainability\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding my typographic process: after completing a photo collage, my staff assembles a list of every possible question a viewer might ask, ranging from “What’s that strange thing in the corner of the picture?” to “How does that machine work?” to “What is that person thinking?” After our subjects answer these questions their words are meticulously applied to the image. The process is lengthy. One image with noted farmer/photographer Michael Ableman -- from taking the initial photographs to building the photo collage with text -- took over a year to complete. The result is a handmade and hopefully authentic artifact that explains a fundamental principle of sustainability in highly personal terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you find the individuals to feature in \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.lexiconofsustainability.com/pop-up-art-shows/pastured/\">The Story of An Egg,\u003c/a>\" and why were you drawn to them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pasture Management” and “Pasture-Raised vs. Cage-Free” were among the first images I created for the project, so they will always be special, but also because the two individuals I profiled are such admiral folks. David Evans, featured in “Pasture Management,” is a renegade. He created \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinsunfarms.com/\">Marin Sun Farms\u003c/a>, which has pioneered a number of sustainable agricultural practices in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/pasturemgmt_large.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/pasturemgmt_large.jpg\" alt=\"pasture management\" title=\"pasture management\" width=\"550\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42677\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003cem>David Evans, Marin Sun Farms. Image Credit: Douglas Gayeton / The Lexicon of Sustainability\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second image features Alexis Koefoed from \u003ca href=\"http://www.soulfoodfarm.com/\">Soul Food Farm\u003c/a>. She has a deep knowledge base on the poultry industry and is extremely eloquent. A real deep thinker. Way back in 2008, she told me that the terms “cage-free” and “free-range” were meaningless and that we needed to focus on a poultry practice called “pasture-raised.” Her convictions let me to make a short film called “The Story of An Egg.\" I find it very rewarding that four years after that image was created, supermarkets have started to carry “pastured” eggs. Some farmers markets (the Ferry Building in San Francisco being a notable example) have even decreed that “pastured” eggs and poultry are the only type available for sale. This shows, I think, that language is important. Consumer can make informed decisions -- and vote with their wallets -- if they know what the terms which define sustainability mean. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/soul-food-e1335988027323.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/soul-food-e1335988027323.jpg\" alt=\"soul food farm\" title=\"soul food farm\" width=\"550\" height=\"673\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42674\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003cem>Alexis Koefoed, Soul Food Farm.

A selection of these are available as a \"\u003ca href=\"http://us2.campaign-archive2.com/?u=32cf26a978e6a47a222bc0a33&id=e5d7e5b349\">pop-up show\u003c/a>.\" Anyone in the USA can apply to be a curator, unless they are actually curator. Farmers, students, teachers, librarians, activists and even government officials can go to our website to apply. They need to show how they will put on five shows in their community, involve their local food system, then serve as a “lending library” so that other schools and organization can use the show for their events. It’s a radical form of crowdsourcing, one taken from the web and applied to the real world. We anticipate over 500 shows in the USA in 2012.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/popup2.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/popup2.jpg\" alt=\"pop up photo show\" title=\"pop up photo show\" width=\"550\" height=\"411\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42678\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Image Credit: Douglas Gayeton / The Lexicon of Sustainability\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/popup.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/popup.jpg\" alt=\"pop up photo show\" title=\"popup\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42680\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Image Credit: Douglas Gayeton / The Lexicon of Sustainability\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the pop-up shows, we are making short films with ITVS and PBS, as well as a social network of ideas which we hope to launch later this year.

My work began as a film, then a series of essays which culminated in the information artworks that eventually were published in a book called \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.randomhouse.com/book/58794/slow-life-in-a-tuscan-town-by-douglas-gayeton\">SLOW: Life in a Tuscan Town\u003c/a>.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I traveled around the USA with \"Slow,\" I was struck by how little the principles of the Slow Food movement, borne from over 2000 years of Italian cultural evolution, made sense in America. Our experience in this country, our historic relationship with food, and primarily the broken state of our food system require us to look at food in a much different way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since World War II, we have raced to centralize our food system, to consolidate manufacturing and eliminate local distribution hubs. We have become dependent on inefficient and inequitable farm subsidies and addicted to chemical solutions to maintain agricultural production at artificial levels, with no care for the environmental consequences. In doing so we have turned food into a commodity utterly stripped of its most precious cultural aspects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The solution? We need a Marshall Plan to fix our food system, one that rebuilds the infrastructure necessary for healthy local food hubs in each community. We do this first by living more sustainably. Our project is an attempt to identify the most authentic voices in this movement and illuminate the terms and principles that define their innovative work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/chicken-and-man-e1335989275372.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/chicken-and-man-e1335989275372.jpg\" alt=\"chicken and man\" title=\"chicken and man\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42698\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Image Credit: Douglas Gayeton / The Lexicon of Sustainability\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.lexiconofsustainability.com/\">\"The Lexicon of Sustainability\"\u003c/a> is therefore based on a simple premise: people can’t be expected to live more sustainable lives if they don’t even know the most basic terms and principles that define sustainability. By illuminating the vocabulary of sustainable agriculture, and with it the conversation about America’s rapidly evolving food culture, the \"Lexicon of Sustainability\" can help people to pay closer attention to how they eat, what they buy, and where their responsibility begins for creating a healthier, safer food system in America.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>The visuals for \"Lexicon\" are stunning, particularly the mosaic-like compositions that marry photographs, text, animation and video interview in a truly unique way. How did you develop this unique aesthetic? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Italian images in my book “SLOW” began as a happy accident. I quickly learned that a single image was not enough. Not only were my images too small, but they also lacked the ability to convey the concept of “time,” of the beginning, middle and end of things. The idea of capturing hundreds of images, at times over long periods of time, then creating mosaics seemed like the only solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision to overlay these images with text came at about the same time. I wanted to convey what these people said to me as I worked. I wanted to share their insights, their observations. And I also wanted to solve another problem I had with photographs, namely that they often left so much unanswered. I wanted to provide as much information as possible within an image, to create what someone once called a “flat film,” a single image that actually uses time, that tells a story. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/fiftypercent_fromvideo.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/fiftypercent_fromvideo.jpg\" alt=\"fifty percent live in cities\" title=\"fifty percent live in cities\" width=\"550\" height=\"308\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42689\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Image Credit: Douglas Gayeton / The Lexicon of Sustainability\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Regarding my typographic process: after completing a photo collage, my staff assembles a list of every possible question a viewer might ask, ranging from “What’s that strange thing in the corner of the picture?” to “How does that machine work?” to “What is that person thinking?” After our subjects answer these questions their words are meticulously applied to the image. The process is lengthy. One image with noted farmer/photographer Michael Ableman -- from taking the initial photographs to building the photo collage with text -- took over a year to complete. The result is a handmade and hopefully authentic artifact that explains a fundamental principle of sustainability in highly personal terms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How did you find the individuals to feature in \"\u003ca href=\"http://www.lexiconofsustainability.com/pop-up-art-shows/pastured/\">The Story of An Egg,\u003c/a>\" and why were you drawn to them?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Pasture Management” and “Pasture-Raised vs. Cage-Free” were among the first images I created for the project, so they will always be special, but also because the two individuals I profiled are such admiral folks. David Evans, featured in “Pasture Management,” is a renegade. He created \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinsunfarms.com/\">Marin Sun Farms\u003c/a>, which has pioneered a number of sustainable agricultural practices in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/pasturemgmt_large.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/pasturemgmt_large.jpg\" alt=\"pasture management\" title=\"pasture management\" width=\"550\" height=\"344\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42677\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003cem>David Evans, Marin Sun Farms.

She has a deep knowledge base on the poultry industry and is extremely eloquent. A real deep thinker. Way back in 2008, she told me that the terms “cage-free” and “free-range” were meaningless and that we needed to focus on a poultry practice called “pasture-raised.” Her convictions let me to make a short film called “The Story of An Egg.\" I find it very rewarding that four years after that image was created, supermarkets have started to carry “pastured” eggs. Some farmers markets (the Ferry Building in San Francisco being a notable example) have even decreed that “pastured” eggs and poultry are the only type available for sale. This shows, I think, that language is important. Consumer can make informed decisions -- and vote with their wallets -- if they know what the terms which define sustainability mean. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/soul-food-e1335988027323.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/soul-food-e1335988027323.jpg\" alt=\"soul food farm\" title=\"soul food farm\" width=\"550\" height=\"673\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42674\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/a>\u003cem>Alexis Koefoed, Soul Food Farm.

Farmers, students, teachers, librarians, activists and even government officials can go to our website to apply. They need to show how they will put on five shows in their community, involve their local food system, then serve as a “lending library” so that other schools and organization can use the show for their events. It’s a radical form of crowdsourcing, one taken from the web and applied to the real world.

But the other ten months of the year in Northern California, however, I usually rely on my oven on a low setting, door slightly ajar to release moisture, to do the job. And while effective, each bite contains the residual taste of enviro-guilt that comes from leaving the oven on and the heat blowing upward for several hours. The results are excellent, but I cannot help but be haunted by the fossil fuel energy loss necessary for a homemade Fruit Roll-Up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certainly I could buy a food dehydrator (and I still may), but my gas oven runs therms, plug-in dryers run watts, and I’m not science-geeky enough to know if they are truly \u003ca title=\"Food Dehydrator Comparison\" href=\"http://www.discountjuicers.com/dehydratorcompare.html\">more energy efficient\u003c/a>. Plus, I thought, I already own a large piece of heating equipment that dries sopping wet clothing in record speed (also fueled by gas), that spins with convection-like capability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Newton’s apple (orange?) that struck me with the idea was a perfectly shriveled piece of orange peel found at the bottom of the clean laundry basket. Had I been sitting on (and ignoring) the world’s best food dehydrator next to the washing machine and not taking advantage of its power? Is it possible to more efficiently dry fruit, vegetables, and meat in the high-heat, high-motion clothes dryer in one round of Permanent Press? Sadly, at least in my scientific exploration, the answer is no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/dried-fruit-plate.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/dried-fruit-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Dried oranges on plate\" title=\"Dried oranges on plate\" width=\"560\" height=\"418\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38028\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I quickly sliced a navel orange into 1/8-inch slices. My hope was that a regular high heat setting would yield chewy, moist results. I didn’t want the fruit to touch the walls of the dryer directly, as I feared a future of sticky laundry as I scraped orange sauce from the inside of the machine’s barrel. I thought fabric assistance would help wick moisture and hold the fruit in place, so I grabbed a clean cotton dishtowel. Oh, and a knee sock. Everything’s better with knee socks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I laid a dishtowel out into a rectangle shape and then arranged two rows of orange slices horizontally across the middle. I folded up the bottom and folded down the top, making sure fruit was tucked into towel completely. Then I folded one encased row over another to sandwich both rows of oranges together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I used rubber bands to cinch the sides of the towels together and to keep the fruit from falling out. I had first tried this with clothespins, but they banged around too much and some of them broke. Safety pins work, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then — my genius move — I cut the toe from an old knee sock (don’t worry, I’ll still wear it!) and wiggled the sock down like a tube over the entire length of the towel and fruit to secure it. Note that I first tried this with a polyester sock, a fiber known for keeping moisture in. Rookie error! Go with all cotton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I moved the whole fruit-towel-sock contraption to a mesh laundry bag. If my experiment worked, my hope was that I could put several batches of fruit into the laundry bag and dry them all at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 70 minutes on Permanent Press, the good news is that I managed to contain the fruit and I didn’t have to clean the machine. The bad news, however, is that the fruit was still very, very wet. I tried one more cycle but then gave up, because after two hours, it wasn’t drying nearly as quickly as it does in the oven. If you try a different method and you have any success, please let me know!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the interim, I’ll go back to drying fruit the old-fashioned way in the oven (OK, modern old-fashioned, because true old-fashioned would be drying it over a fire).

And while effective, each bite contains the residual taste of enviro-guilt that comes from leaving the oven on and the heat blowing upward for several hours. The results are excellent, but I cannot help but be haunted by the fossil fuel energy loss necessary for a homemade Fruit Roll-Up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Certainly I could buy a food dehydrator (and I still may), but my gas oven runs therms, plug-in dryers run watts, and I’m not science-geeky enough to know if they are truly \u003ca title=\"Food Dehydrator Comparison\" href=\"http://www.discountjuicers.com/dehydratorcompare.html\">more energy efficient\u003c/a>. Plus, I thought, I already own a large piece of heating equipment that dries sopping wet clothing in record speed (also fueled by gas), that spins with convection-like capability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Newton’s apple (orange?) that struck me with the idea was a perfectly shriveled piece of orange peel found at the bottom of the clean laundry basket. Had I been sitting on (and ignoring) the world’s best food dehydrator next to the washing machine and not taking advantage of its power? Is it possible to more efficiently dry fruit, vegetables, and meat in the high-heat, high-motion clothes dryer in one round of Permanent Press? Sadly, at least in my scientific exploration, the answer is no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/dried-fruit-plate.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/01/dried-fruit-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Dried oranges on plate\" title=\"Dried oranges on plate\" width=\"560\" height=\"418\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38028\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

My hope was that a regular high heat setting would yield chewy, moist results. I didn’t want the fruit to touch the walls of the dryer directly, as I feared a future of sticky laundry as I scraped orange sauce from the inside of the machine’s barrel. I thought fabric assistance would help wick moisture and hold the fruit in place, so I grabbed a clean cotton dishtowel. Oh, and a knee sock. Everything’s better with knee socks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I laid a dishtowel out into a rectangle shape and then arranged two rows of orange slices horizontally across the middle. I folded up the bottom and folded down the top, making sure fruit was tucked into towel completely. Then I folded one encased row over another to sandwich both rows of oranges together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I used rubber bands to cinch the sides of the towels together and to keep the fruit from falling out. I had first tried this with clothespins, but they banged around too much and some of them broke. Safety pins work, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then — my genius move — I cut the toe from an old knee sock (don’t worry, I’ll still wear it!) and wiggled the sock down like a tube over the entire length of the towel and fruit to secure it. Note that I first tried this with a polyester sock, a fiber known for keeping moisture in. Rookie error! Go with all cotton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I moved the whole fruit-towel-sock contraption to a mesh laundry bag. If my experiment worked, my hope was that I could put several batches of fruit into the laundry bag and dry them all at once.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After 70 minutes on Permanent Press, the good news is that I managed to contain the fruit and I didn’t have to clean the machine. The bad news, however, is that the fruit was still very, very wet. I tried one more cycle but then gave up, because after two hours, it wasn’t drying nearly as quickly as it does in the oven. If you try a different method and you have any success, please let me know!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the interim, I’ll go back to drying fruit the old-fashioned way in the oven (OK, modern old-fashioned, because true old-fashioned would be drying it over a fire).

They cost her a fortune. Some of them always arrive moldy. They’re not organic. And, uh, I live in California where the oranges nearby are outrageously good. I feel bad just using them all for juice, so I dried them with just a touch of sugar to balance out the tanginess of the dried fruit. The finished results are far more complex than they appear: moist, sticky, and chewy, super tangy and super flavorful — like a slice of the best marmalade or orange candy you’ve ever had.

Stand the fruit straight up and cut off all of the skin — first cut from top to bottom and then flip the orange over and slice from top to bottom again to remove it all. Thinly slice the well-peeled fruit into horizontal rounds about 1/8-inch thick and move them onto a clean dish towel in a single layer. Once all oranges have been cut, lay another clean towel on top and press on it gently to absorb some of the juice.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Dip one side of the orange into the sugar and place it onto the baking sheet sugar side down.

Or you can make your own with this \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/02/01/homemade-truffles-for-valentines-day/\">easy chocolate truffle recipe\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"http://www.dandelionchocolate.com\">Dandelion\u003c/a>'s bean-to-bar chocolate store will be opening in San Francisco next month or early next year; until then, find them at local farmers' markets, including the Mission Community Market and the Noe Valley Farmers' Market. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the explosion of books, classes, and blogs dedicated to food preservation for fun (or profit), it's easy to spend a little time whipping up a gift batch of something, especially if you turn the simmering or brewing into an all-afternoon stir-and-gossip session. What do you like best to make? It's a little late in the season to make jam, but there's always apple butter, pear butter, slow-roasted quince paste (so tasty with cheese), \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/01/21/friendship-and-homemade-meyer-lemon-marmalade/\">Meyer lemon marmalade\u003c/a> or tangy lemon chutney. \u003ca href=\"http://www.workshopsf.org\">WorkshopSF\u003c/a> has classes in beer-making, tea-blending, cheese-making, even vintage apron sewing coming up in December; take one yourself, or take a friend along. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Does everyone rave about your ramen, your cranberry bread, your caramel apple pie? Do you want to share your mom's recipes with everyone who loves her? There are dozens of \u003ca href=\"http://www.blurb.com/\">print-on-demand services\u003c/a> that let you turn those scribbled-on recipe cards into a surprisingly chic and stylish personal cookbook. Pop-up holiday markets are also a good place to find quirkily perfect host/ess gifts made by your friends and neighbors. On Dec. 9, La Cocina is holding its \u003ca href=\"http://www.lacocinasf.org/events/giftbazaarsf2011/\">3rd Annual Gift Bazaar\u003c/a>, featuring unique products developed in La Cocina's incubator kitchen in the Mission. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or, depending on what you have to spare, you can give money, time, or expertise to organizations who redistribute the wealth across the Bay Area's tables. Did one (or ten) of your Facebook friends and Twitter followers post Mary Risley's hysterically practical YouTube video, Just Put the F*cking Turkey in the Oven? Now, with over 100,000 hits, let's hope she can make the follow-up, \u003cb>Just Give Your F*cking Leftovers to Food Runners\u003c/b>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe width=\"500\" height=\"284\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/foA0MGUbYH0\" frameborder=\"0\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Risley isn't just a cooking teacher, she's the founder of \u003ca href=\"http://foodrunners.org\">Food Runners\u003c/a>, which moves thousands of pounds of fresh, useful leftover food from restaurants, grocery stores, and catering businesses into the kitchens of shelters, low-income senior and youth programs, and other organizations that serve the needy.
