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.",

I’m that girl who shows up, waits in line, and maybe loses her voice by night’s end. And as far as obsessions go, the only thing that comes close is my head-over-heels love of good food and drink. Thankfully, San Francisco’s a town where the two go easily hand-in-hand -- our live music scene is killer, and our restaurants, well. We all know about our restaurants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I’m here to help you imbibe in all that is delicious before, during, and after all of those fantastic shows. Specifically, by providing you with a guide to the best eateries and drinking establishments in close proximity to the Bay’s best venues. First up?

Get a table for two upstairs, cluster around the communal table with friends, or post up at the bar and relive the set over a cocktail. As for ordering, you truly can’t go wrong -- I’m always happy taking down a seasonally topped flatbread or a burger late-night, but am currently obsessed with a starter of creamy avocado and jicama studded with sesame seeds and trout roe. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74898\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/indysf-guide-nopa-avocado1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/indysf-guide-nopa-avocado1000.jpg\" alt=\"Starter of creamy avocado and jicama studded with sesame seeds and trout roe.

I’ve never been one to shell out the big bucks for holiday gifts, but it is nice to shower friends and family with small, personal gifts, especially if I’ve made them with my own two hands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what makes a better gift than DIY cocktail supplies? This kind of gift is cute, unique, and way more useful than another pair of hand-knit socks. Best of all, it’s surprisingly easy to make the components of one of my favorite cocktails, the Manhattan. Well, all of the components except for the rye whiskey. That one, I’ll leave to the experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the long, unfamiliar ingredient list and expensive liquor store price tag may trick many intrepid cocktail drinkers into thinking that angostura bitters and sweet vermouth are difficult to make, these key cocktail components are actually little more than sweet, infused booze. To make them at home, one only needs to steep, strain, and sweeten. Brandied maraschino-style cherries are even easier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74801\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/bitters-ingredients.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/bitters-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Angostura bitters are made by steeping a mixture of herbs and spices into high proof alcohol.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In fact, the hardest step in the entire process is the first one: buying supplies. Both bitters and vermouth rely upon a couple of key bittering agents called gentian and quassia. Gentian is a root that comes from high altitude regions like the Alps and Himalayas and is one of the world’s strongest bitters. Quassia is sold as a bark, and has historically been used to cure fevers and stomach aches. In addition, other sweet, savory, and tannic herbs are included to balance and enhance the flavor. Wild cherry bark, orris root, juniper, black lavender, wormwood, chamomile, and sage all play a part. Some are easily procurable in the bulk section of health food stores or large grocery stores like Berkeley Bowl, Whole Foods, and Rainbow. Others require a special trip to an herb shop (online or in person).

I put all of these spices into a large canning jar and cover them with high-proof whiskey like Wild Turkey 101. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74806\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/straining-bitters.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/straining-bitters.jpg\" alt=\"I find it easiest to strain bitters into a large measuring cup with a spout so I can easily pour the mixture into smaller bottles.

After 5 days, I strain out the mixture into a large measuring cup. (The spout will make it much easier to get the bitters into bottles.) Next, I make a concentrated simple syrup by heating 1 cup turbinado sugar and 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Once this is cooled, I add it to the bitters mixture a tablespoon at a time until the mixture is appropriately sweet. I like my bitters to be around 18% sugar by volume, so I add 6 tablespoons. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Give it a good stir, pour the bitters into small dropper bottles, and that’s it—homemade bitters!

This kind of gift is cute, unique, and way more useful than another pair of hand-knit socks. Best of all, it’s surprisingly easy to make the components of one of my favorite cocktails, the Manhattan. Well, all of the components except for the rye whiskey. That one, I’ll leave to the experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the long, unfamiliar ingredient list and expensive liquor store price tag may trick many intrepid cocktail drinkers into thinking that angostura bitters and sweet vermouth are difficult to make, these key cocktail components are actually little more than sweet, infused booze. To make them at home, one only needs to steep, strain, and sweeten. Brandied maraschino-style cherries are even easier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74801\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/bitters-ingredients.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/bitters-ingredients.jpg\" alt=\"Angostura bitters are made by steeping a mixture of herbs and spices into high proof alcohol.

Photo: Kate Williams\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In fact, the hardest step in the entire process is the first one: buying supplies. Both bitters and vermouth rely upon a couple of key bittering agents called gentian and quassia. Gentian is a root that comes from high altitude regions like the Alps and Himalayas and is one of the world’s strongest bitters. Quassia is sold as a bark, and has historically been used to cure fevers and stomach aches. In addition, other sweet, savory, and tannic herbs are included to balance and enhance the flavor. Wild cherry bark, orris root, juniper, black lavender, wormwood, chamomile, and sage all play a part. Some are easily procurable in the bulk section of health food stores or large grocery stores like Berkeley Bowl, Whole Foods, and Rainbow. Others require a special trip to an herb shop (online or in person). It’s actually quite fun to experiment with all of these unfamiliar herbs—almost like potion-making 101.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once everything is procured, it’s time to get organized. The bitters and cherries take 5–7 days to infuse; vermouth only takes 24 hours.

To steep the wine, I combine a bottle of Pinot Grigio with all of the herbs and spices in a small saucepan. I bring the mixture just to a simmer, remove it from the heat, and let the pot sit overnight. The next day, I strain out the herbs, and then add turbinado sugar syrup, brandy, and ruby port to the wine. Again, super simple.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74802\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/cherries-in-jar.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/cherries-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"These maraschino-style cherries are made with affordable Bing cherries, sugar, brandy, vanilla, and almond extract.

True maraschino cherries (not the saccharine, neon variety atop ice cream sundaes) are made by soaking small sour cherries in a liquor made from the same fruit. Both sour cherries and maraschino liquor are fairly hard to come by, so I’ve come up with a more accessible version: easy-to-find Bing cherries (fresh or frozen work fine) are steeped in a mixture of brandy, sugar, vanilla, and a dash of almond liquor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you’re planning on giving these as a DIY Manhattan kit, be sure to include a small bottle of rye and a short drink recipe (2 parts whiskey, 1 part vermouth, a few drops of bitters, and a cherry) to complete the package. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74803\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/diy-manhattan-kit-final.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/diy-manhattan-kit-final.jpg\" alt=\"Homemade angostura bitters, homemade sweet vermouth, and homemade maraschino-style cherries.

(After all, Whole Foods didn't get the nickname \"Whole Paycheck\" for nothing.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But until recently, that widely held bit of conventional wisdom hadn't really been assessed in a rigorous, systematic way, says \u003ca href=\"http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/dariush-mozaffarian/brief-bio/\">Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian\u003c/a>, a cardiologist and epidemiologist at the Harvard School of Public Health.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he and his colleagues decided to pore over 27 studies from 10 different developed countries that looked at the retail prices of food grouped by healthfulness. Across these countries, it turns out, the cost difference between eating a healthful and unhealthful diet was pretty much the same: about $1.50 per day. And that price gap held true when they focused their research just on U.S. food prices, the researchers found in their \u003ca href=\"http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/3/12/e004277.short?g=w_open_current_tab\">meta-analysis\u003c/a> of these studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think $1.50 a day is probably much less than some people expected,\" Mozaffarian tells The Salt, \"but it's also a real barrier for some low-income families,\" for whom it would translate to about an extra $550 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, from a policy perspective, he argues, $1.50 a day is chump change. \"That's the cost of a cup of coffee,\" he says. \"It's trivial compared to the cost of heart disease or diabetes, which is hundreds of billions of dollars\" — both in terms of health care costs and lost productivity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And so that relatively small difference,\" he says, \"should really be an incentive for policymakers\" to find ways to help low-income families bridge that extra $1.50 per day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The researchers evaluated the cost of food by types of eating pattern — for example, a diet heavy on vegetables, nuts and fruits, like the Mediterranean diet, versus one rich in processed foods and meat. They also looked at price differences within specific food categories, such as grains, proteins, fats and dairy. The biggest price differences arose when it came to proteins/meats: Healthier, leaner cuts, they found, were on average about 29 cents more per serving. Only one of the studies included in the meta-analysis examined the cost of restaurant foods stratified by healthfulness — and that's definitely an area, the authors say, where more research is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research, published this week in the \u003cem>British Medical Journal Open\u003c/em>, comes as House and Senate negotiators on Capitol Hill are debating a new farm bill — including billions of dollars in cuts to the federal food-assistance program formerly known as food stamps. It's now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This study couldn't come at a more relevant time,\" says Josh Wachs, chief strategy officer for \u003ca href=\"https://www.nokidhungry.org/\">Share Our Strength\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His group teaches low-income families who rely on food-assistance programs like SNAP how to navigate the supermarket to make better choices on a tight budget — tips like buying frozen and canned fruits and vegetables when fresh is too expensive, or teaching them how to cut up a whole chicken, which costs less than buying individual breasts, wings and other parts separately. Another key tip: When comparing two items, focus on the price per unit rather than the total price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that education can help put healthy food in reach for many more families,\" Wachs tells The Salt. But subsidies for such education programs provided through SNAP could also be imperiled if the program's funding is cut, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even for those of us who aren't working under supertight budget constraints at the grocery store, the results of the meta-analysis are eye-opening, says Mozaffarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just as an excuse to not eat healthy,\" he says, \"for most Americans, I think price is not an excuse.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n",

Across these countries, it turns out, the cost difference between eating a healthful and unhealthful diet was pretty much the same: about $1.50 per day. And that price gap held true when they focused their research just on U.S. food prices, the researchers found in their \u003ca href=\"http://bmjopen.bmj.com/content/3/12/e004277.short?g=w_open_current_tab\">meta-analysis\u003c/a> of these studies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think $1.50 a day is probably much less than some people expected,\" Mozaffarian tells The Salt, \"but it's also a real barrier for some low-income families,\" for whom it would translate to about an extra $550 a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They also looked at price differences within specific food categories, such as grains, proteins, fats and dairy. The biggest price differences arose when it came to proteins/meats: Healthier, leaner cuts, they found, were on average about 29 cents more per serving. Only one of the studies included in the meta-analysis examined the cost of restaurant foods stratified by healthfulness — and that's definitely an area, the authors say, where more research is needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research, published this week in the \u003cem>British Medical Journal Open\u003c/em>, comes as House and Senate negotiators on Capitol Hill are debating a new farm bill — including billions of dollars in cuts to the federal food-assistance program formerly known as food stamps. It's now called the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This study couldn't come at a more relevant time,\" says Josh Wachs, chief strategy officer for \u003ca href=\"https://www.nokidhungry.org/\">Share Our Strength\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His group teaches low-income families who rely on food-assistance programs like SNAP how to navigate the supermarket to make better choices on a tight budget — tips like buying frozen and canned fruits and vegetables when fresh is too expensive, or teaching them how to cut up a whole chicken, which costs less than buying individual breasts, wings and other parts separately. Another key tip: When comparing two items, focus on the price per unit rather than the total price.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We believe that education can help put healthy food in reach for many more families,\" Wachs tells The Salt. But subsidies for such education programs provided through SNAP could also be imperiled if the program's funding is cut, he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And even for those of us who aren't working under supertight budget constraints at the grocery store, the results of the meta-analysis are eye-opening, says Mozaffarian.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Just as an excuse to not eat healthy,\" he says, \"for most Americans, I think price is not an excuse.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003cem>Copyright 2013 \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/\">NPR\u003c/a>.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

The lessons she learned there--of unstinting quality of ingredients matched with careful thriftiness, of perfection in simplicity, of pride in craft--would remain with her throughout her working life. She took the lessons she learned in that French kitchen and made them the basis for her particular kind of California cuisine, one rooted in French attitudes towards \u003cem>terroir\u003c/em> and quality yet inspired by the ever more finely tuned seasonal abundance of Northern California's farms, ranches, fisheries, vineyards, and more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1977, she started cooking professionally as the lunch chef at Alice Waters' then six-year-old restaurant, \u003ca href=\"http://www.chezpanisse.com\">Chez Panisse\u003c/a>. Two years later, she returned to France to cook at a small restaurant in the southwest, then relearned American food at the Union Hotel in Benicia with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/07/12/waffles-for-marion-cunningham/\">Marion Cunningham\u003c/a>. In 1983, she traveled to Italy to live, learn, and eat, falling in love with the foods and history of Tuscany. By 1987, after a brief stint cooking in New York City, she became the chef at Zuni, a once-Southwestern restaurant that morphed under her influence into the French-Italian-Californian hybrid it remains today. With its wedge-shaped corner footprint between Franklin and Gough, Zuni was convenient to City Hall, the opera, the ballet, and the symphony, as well as to the scruffier aspects of Market Street. Walking down Rose Alley behind the restaurant, you could catch sight of Rodgers under the fluorescent lights of the kitchen, slim and intense, her bright blue eyes missing nothing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the late 1990s, when I worked as an assistant cookbook editor at Chronicle Books, Rodgers came to us for a meeting about a possible Zuni cookbook. With her lengthy proposal in hand, the first question we had to ask was, had she written the text herself? Her proposal was meticulously crafted, with a well-shaped, well-written storyline that was equal parts personal memoir, California culinary history, and useful kitchen know-how, plus finely detailed but followable recipes for all of Zuni's best dishes. I'm not exaggerating to say that it was better than most finished books, and much better even than most professionally-ghostwritten or co-authored chef's books. It was hard to believe that Rodgers, known for her focused attention to all the night-after-night details at her restaurant, could have found the time to write so much of such a good book. Yet she had. Chronicle passed on the proposal, but I stealthily photocopied my copy and brought it home to use. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the book came out, published by W. W. Norton in 2002, I was unsurprised to see that much of it was word-for-word from the original proposal. Rodgers' voice, Rodgers' knowledge, suffused every page. The recipe for Zuni's famous Caesar Salad took up two and a half pages. It wasn't because the recipe was so complex--it was nothing fancier than romaine lettuce, croutons, and Parmesan, dressed in a red wine vinaigrette enriched with eggs and flavored with lemon, garlic and anchovy--but because she wanted her readers to understand her mind-set, to pay attention to the nuances of every ingredient and to bring them together in a mindful way. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nothing was set in stone; every day in the kitchen started fresh, with ingredients that were inevitably a little different from the day before. As readers and diners, she let us taste her joy in the arrival of winter's first Dungeness crabs and Meyer lemons, in spring's first shoots of green garlic and pink rhubarb, in summer's abundance of tomatoes and wild salmon, in autumn's tumble of grapes, persimmons, and squash. Under her tutelage, her staff pickled neon-pink onions and chartreuse-bright zucchini, shaved raw white asparagus and porcini mushrooms into salads, and paired milky green almonds with sweet white nectarines and tissue-thin slices of proscuitto. She made a plate of tiny, silvery cured anchovies over a bed of celery seem like the most natural happy-hour snack in the world, taught us to love bone marrow, squid, gizzards, lamb's tongues, and more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As she wrote in her cookbook's introduction,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"And so, the Zuni repertory is an evolving hybrid of the cuisines I love, made possible by the generosity of many teachers and colleagues.

Now, with the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/04/17/heard-the-buzz-on-backyard-beekeeping/\">backyard beekeeping\u003c/a> on the rise, it's time to add mead to the mix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mead\u003c/strong> is a beverage with a long, long history, beloved by ancient Vikings, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien\">J.R.R. Tolkien\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._R._Martin\">George R.R. Martin\u003c/a> alike. It predates the establishment of agriculture: before people were growing grain or cultivating fruit, they were robbing bees of their wild honey, and fermenting it by means of natural wild yeasts. In chilly climates like Scandinavia and northern Europe where grapes couldn’t grow, honey mixed with water produced the sugars necessary for fermentation. The Vikings toasted with it; so did the Druids. From the Rig-Veda to Beowulf, it was the festive, ceremonial beverage of choice. Medieval and Renaissance texts listed dozens of variations, including hydromel, cyser, metheglyn, melomel, and more. Some were spiced, some sweetened, some mixed with fruit juice, wines, or vinegars in place of water. It was a low-tech product, since the simplest batch of mead required only honey, water, and time, with natural wild yeasts providing the impetus for fermentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beer and wine have long taken over as our fermented drinks of choice, however, and mead, if it’s remembered at all, is the \u003ca href=\"http://www.renfaire.com/Sites/\">Ren-Fest\u003c/a> punchline, served tongue-in-cheek by a bosomy wench and quaffed from a drinking horn, if at all.

With homebrewing friends in Ohio, Oron founded (and remains a part owner of) the popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.brothersdrake.com/\">Brothers Drake\u003c/a> meadery and bar in Columbus, which makes over a dozen different styles and flavors of mead. After meeting in San Francisco, the couple moved back to Ohio three years ago to work on the mead business, then came back to the city in 2012 to start mead-making here. But they remain fiercely dedicated to supporting local commerce and economies, and to keeping their meads close to home. Brothers Drake sells the 5,000 cases it produces only in the Columbus area; their San Francisco mead (currently less than 1000 cases) is available only in the Bay Area. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>So, what does it take to make good mead?\u003c/strong> Good honey, good practices (including careful sanitation), and most importantly, time. Since the bulk of their mead is made of nothing more than raw honey and water, with commercial wine yeasts to control fermentation, they source their honey from a beekeeper who raises queen bees at the edge of the Mendocino National Forest, where there’s little development and not much commercial agriculture. Bees being foragers, there’s no way to restrict their nectar diet to strictly organic plants, but Oren sees these bees as living as natural a life as possible. The day after our interview, Oron and Sarah were planning to drive up to Mendocino in a rental truck, returning with hundreds of gallons of honey for making cyser, for which they'll dilute the honey with freshly soured apple-cider vinegar from Sonoma instead of water. At about 14% alcohol, about the same as your typical Napa cabernet, \"It's like getting punched in the face with pies!\" laughed Sarah, making it especially good as an autumn cocktail base with whiskey or bourbon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We also add spice--cinnamon, nutmeg, clove--so it's like liquid, drunk apple pie. It's amazing! We're so excited about doing it here.\" The honey base makes a difference, too. \"With the Ohio honey we get a really light, almost clear [mead], with kind of a spicy, grassy flavor. But here we get citrus and pine and wood, very earthy. Two different honeys, two different places, totally different mead.\" Although there are many possibilities, from sweet to dry, still to sparkling, they're dedicated to making a dry product, with almost all the residual sugars fermented out, as a way to \"reveal more of the nuanced flavors of the honey,\" according to Sarah. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next most crucial part, after sourcing good honey, is the aging process, which Oron says changes the flavor dramatically. \"Honey is an incredible, complex, beautiful food...We have an orange blossom mead right now in the tanks--we made it this January.\" They were skeptical at a first tasting, earlier this summer. But then, Oren noted, \"We tasted it a few days ago, and it was like, there it is! It's starting to really develop.\" Much like wine, all of their meads age in tanks at least a year before being bottled and sold--which means, alas, the cyser they're making now won't be available for drinking until \u003cem>next\u003c/em> Halloween. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They started their San Francisco mead making in the Dogpatch, sharing space with \u003ca href=\"http://www.suttoncellars.com/\">Sutton Cellars\u003c/a>, near where \u003ca href=\"http://magnoliapub.com/dogpatch.html\">Magnolia Brewery\u003c/a> has their new facilities. But increasing rents and a desire to expand capacity pushed them to find their own 2500-square-foot space in Bayview-Hunters Point, a few blocks east of the Muni T-line on Third Street, this summer. Their landlord, it turned out, was a beekeeper himself, who raises bees and teaches beekeeping classes next door, and helped them build out the garage-like space into a working production facility. Lined with glass carboys (for experiments) and imposingly large plastic tanks, the no-frills space is arranged for maximum efficiency and cleanliness. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74671\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/carboys1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/12/carboys1000.jpg\" alt=\"Carboys of Mead (experimental projects).

They're happy to back in San Francisco, where the drinking (and eating) culture is always on the lookout for the next new thing. They've got plans for a hyper-local Hunters Point mead made with honey from their landlord's bees, as well as meads infused with sage, hops, and other aromatic plants.

Now, with the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/04/17/heard-the-buzz-on-backyard-beekeeping/\">backyard beekeeping\u003c/a> on the rise, it's time to add mead to the mix.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Mead\u003c/strong> is a beverage with a long, long history, beloved by ancient Vikings, \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tolkien\">J.R.R. Tolkien\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_R._R._Martin\">George R.R. Martin\u003c/a> alike. It predates the establishment of agriculture: before people were growing grain or cultivating fruit, they were robbing bees of their wild honey, and fermenting it by means of natural wild yeasts. In chilly climates like Scandinavia and northern Europe where grapes couldn’t grow, honey mixed with water produced the sugars necessary for fermentation. The Vikings toasted with it; so did the Druids. From the Rig-Veda to Beowulf, it was the festive, ceremonial beverage of choice. Medieval and Renaissance texts listed dozens of variations, including hydromel, cyser, metheglyn, melomel, and more. Some were spiced, some sweetened, some mixed with fruit juice, wines, or vinegars in place of water. It was a low-tech product, since the simplest batch of mead required only honey, water, and time, with natural wild yeasts providing the impetus for fermentation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Beer and wine have long taken over as our fermented drinks of choice, however, and mead, if it’s remembered at all, is the \u003ca href=\"http://www.renfaire.com/Sites/\">Ren-Fest\u003c/a> punchline, served tongue-in-cheek by a bosomy wench and quaffed from a drinking horn, if at all.

A frozen pie may fill your pie-hole any other day of the year. But for Thanksgiving, on this celebratory day of gratitude, as close as we get to a ritual harvest festival, make a real pie. Yes, from scratch. Because, with our step-by-step approach, you can turn apples, sugar, flour, butter, and spices into a better pie that you or your friends have ever tasted, much less made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, let us begin. The first step, before you pick up a measuring cup, is to clear your mind. Are you stressed out by family demands? Worried about getting it all right? Put all this out of your head. A perfect turkey, a perfect pie, the most splendid gravy in the universe cannot ensure family harmony, just as even a sorry stuffing won't, by its underseasoned blandness or wayward lumpiness, ruin the day. (Not that you should settle for bad stuffing, not with Kim Laidlaw's fine \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/23/thanksgiving-recipe-an-elevated-version-of-classic-sage-and-chestnut-stuffing/\">Sage and Chestnut Stuffing\u003c/a> recipe available here on this very blog.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All too often, it seems, we placate our fears by obsessing over the minutia of kitchen work. Brine or dry rub? Breast up, breast down? Deep-fried or smoked? Should there been mac and cheese, and is adding \u003ca href=\"http://brokeassgourmet.com/articles/brown-butter-pumpkin-mac-and-cheese\">brown butter and pumpkin\u003c/a> brilliance or heresy? Here's what I can tell you, courtesy of years of writing Thanksgiving cooking advice: it is easier to worry about turkey, or cranberry sauce, or the flakiness of your pie crust than it is to be in the moment, with no distractions from the clamor of your own emotions, the ringing of your own wishful, overflowing, bruised or fearful heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep it in mind, then, as you seek to control in the kitchen what you may not be able to conquer in the dining room. More to the point, take heed of Fergus Henderson, chef and author of \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0062282611/kqedorg-20\">The Complete Nose to Tail\u003c/a>, who advises, “Do not be afraid of cooking, as your ingredients will know, and misbehave.\" So, now that you're happy, and focused, and not leaning all the weight of your perfect-holiday expectations on one frangible crust, let's bake!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, the apples. I like farmers' market apples, where you can be sure of getting this season's fruit, still tangy and snappy-crunchy. You want apples with some complexity and density to them. Fujis and Galas are too sweet and too full of juice--they'll make a wet pie that's closer to applesauce. Granny Smiths are the opposite: too hard, too tart. I like to use a mix of whatever looks good. This pie was made with a combination of Black Twig and Pink Ladies, but Pippins, Jonagolds, Russets, Romes, and/or Braeburns would also work well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74580\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple-pie-apples1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74580\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple-pie-apples1000.jpg\" alt=\"Apples: Black Twig and Pink Ladies.

Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The crust is easiest to handle if you let it chill before rolling, so it's wise to get your dough mixed before you start on the filling. Put your butter--preferably, a high-fat, European-style butter like \u003ca href=\"http://strausfamilycreamery.com/products/item/organic-sweet-butter\">Straus Family Creamery European-Style Organic Butter\u003c/a> or Plugra--in the freezer to chill. You want it very cold and firm but not actually frozen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure the full amount of cold water and vinegar into a glass (or see-through plastic) wet measuring cup. Add a handful of ice cubes. Measure your flour by dipping a dry-measure cup into the flour, then sweeping off the excess with the flat side of a knife. Don't pack it, don't shake it! Whisk the sugar and salt into the flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the coarse holes on a box grater, grate in the butter. Grating transforms the butter into thin, near-translucent curls. Once you've lightly but thoroughly mixed them into the flour, carefully breaking up any butter clumps, you're almost done. The texture will be nubbly-perfect, and you'll hardly have touched it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quickly pour in about half your ice water (not including the cubes). Using a wooden spoon or a large fork, gently and quickly mix the water into the flour. Drizzle in remaining water as needed over any dry patches, about a tablespoon at a time. If you are using high-fat butter, which has a lower water content, you'll probably need more water than if you're using a regular supermarket brand. Stop when a handful of dough will just hold together when squeezed. A little crumbly is fine; it will get moister as it chills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have time, it's a good idea to chill your dough before you roll it out. It's not crucial; I've gone straight from mixing to rolling to baking on occasion, and it worked just fine. However, chilling lets the butter firm up again before you roll, and cold butter leads to a flakier crust. Also, cold dough is less likely to turn into a a sticky, recalcitrant dough-child that flings itself face down onto the counter and refuses to come up without tearing once you start rolling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Divide your dough into equal parts. Scoop the dough into two resealable plastic bags. Flatten each into a round, squeezing out any remaining air from the bag, and seal. Chill the dough for an hour in the freezer or 2 hours in the refrigerator. The dough can also be refrigerated for 1-2 days ahead of baking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"74348,74346,74345,74342,74343,74338,74339,74337,74336,74334,74603,74605,74608,74599,74597,74606,74594,74578,74582,74583,74592\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lightly sprinkle a large, clean work surface with flour. Rub a light coating of flour on your rolling pin. Take 1 bag of dough out the freezer or fridge, remove its bag, and pat the dough into a roughly symmetrical round. Roll from the middle out to the edges, using the equal amounts of pressure as you go. After every few rolls, pick the dough up from the counter and revolve it a quarter turn. This helps keep the dough from sticking to your work surface. If it seems like it's sticking, loosen with a spatula, then sprinkle a little more flour underneath. Imagine you're rolling sun rays all the way around from the center of the dough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the dough keeps sticking to the rolling pin and/or counter, try rolling it out between two sheets of plastic wrap, waxed paper, or parchment paper. You can also sprinkle a small amount of flour over the dough, but be stingy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you’ve got a nice, more-or-less round of evenly rolled dough, lift it into your pie pan. Press it gently into the pan. You should have about an inch of dough hanging over the edge; trim off any excess. Fold the extra dough inwards (towards the middle of the pie) to make a sort of flattened mesa or bulwark. Wrap the whole crust loosely in plastic wrap or waxed paper and return it to the fridge to chill while you make the filling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peel, core, and slice your apples. Toss with sugar, salt, and spices. Let stand for about 10 minutes, until there is a puddle of liquid at the bottom of the bowl. Pour the liquid into a small pan and boil, watching carefully, until it has cooked down to the consistency of maple syrup. Pour back into the bowl of apples. Sprinkle with flour and mix thoroughly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Take the second bag out of the fridge, remove and roll like you did the first crust. When your large round of top crust is ready, take the bottom-crust-lined pie pan out of the fridge. Scoop your filling into the bottom crust. Drape the top crust over the filling, and trim off any extra so you have about 1/2 inch hanging over the edges. Tuck the excess crust under, pressing to join it to the bottom crust, making a thicker mesa/ridge this time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"74598,74607,74609,74587,74586,74602\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You're almost done, but not yet. Crimping--making a decorative edge around the crust--is the artistic part of pie-shaping, and there are many, many ways to do this. I like to gently pinch the edge between the thumb and forefinger of each hand. You move up with the left hand, down with the right, going neatly all the way around the pie until the whole thing has been crimped. The main thing is do something, even if it’s just a plain or rolled ridge of dough along the edge. A good crimp will both keep any excess filling from spilling out and to make the pie look nice and finished. Too many pies just sort of peter out at the edges, with no definition--no, no, no. Define your boundaries, even if you're just flattening the two layers of dough together with fork tines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"74589,74588,74610,74601,74595,74613\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the pastry leaves shown here, gather together your extra pastry scraps and roll out. Using a small, sharp knife, cut 4 or 5 leaf-shaped ovals. To make the leaf \"veins,\" use the knife to mark a line down the center of each oval, then mark matching diagonal lines on either side. Be careful not to cut all the way through the pastry. Arrange the pastry leaves on the center of the top crust. You can also add \"berries\" by rolling a few small balls of dough and adding them where the leaves come together at the center. Using a sharp knife, slash top crust in several places to let steam escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want a little shine on your crust, brush with milk or half-and-half. Use a clean pastry brush if you have one (i.e., not the one you use to baste the turkey, which will be all clotted and stuck together with grease). If you're light-handed and very quick, you can dip your fingertips in the cream and brush it like that. You don't need to get into every crimp; just concentrate on the top dome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Place your pie on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Cover the edges with foil or a pie shield if they seem to getting too brown. The filling should be bubbling gently; sticky pie juices may drip out (hence the baking sheet). The apples within should be tender but not cooked to mush, and most importantly, the crust must be brown--distinctly golden on top, toasty around the edges. Having recently been a judge at \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/article/congratulations-pie-contest-winners\">CUESA's Pie Contest\u003c/a>, sharing the duties at my table with professional bakers from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kneadpatisserie.com/\">Knead Patisserie\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://threebabesbakeshop.com/\">3 Babes Bakeshop\u003c/a>, we saw, with disappointment, so many sadly underbaked crusts. If you're using a clear Pyrex pan, look at that bottom crust, and look for gold, not platinum. A pallid crust is a soft, dull crust. Don't be nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take it out, put it on a cooling rack, and walk away. It may seem lovely to launch right into your hot-from-the-oven pie, but like turkey, pie needs time to collect itself. A hot pie is a runny, runny pie. You will cut the first piece and wonder how you went so wrong as all the juices in the pie gush to fill the slice-shaped hole. But, let the pie sit for a couple of hours, til it's on the room temperature side of warm, and your patience will be rewarded: crisp, almost-shattering crust, melting apples, just enough cinnamon-fragrant juice to prove that no gelatinous glop went into the making of your perfect pie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74611\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple1000-open.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74611\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple1000-open.jpg\" alt=\"An interior view of the Classic Apple Pie.

A frozen pie may fill your pie-hole any other day of the year. But for Thanksgiving, on this celebratory day of gratitude, as close as we get to a ritual harvest festival, make a real pie. Yes, from scratch. Because, with our step-by-step approach, you can turn apples, sugar, flour, butter, and spices into a better pie that you or your friends have ever tasted, much less made.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, let us begin. The first step, before you pick up a measuring cup, is to clear your mind. Are you stressed out by family demands? Worried about getting it all right? Put all this out of your head. A perfect turkey, a perfect pie, the most splendid gravy in the universe cannot ensure family harmony, just as even a sorry stuffing won't, by its underseasoned blandness or wayward lumpiness, ruin the day. (Not that you should settle for bad stuffing, not with Kim Laidlaw's fine \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2013/11/23/thanksgiving-recipe-an-elevated-version-of-classic-sage-and-chestnut-stuffing/\">Sage and Chestnut Stuffing\u003c/a> recipe available here on this very blog.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All too often, it seems, we placate our fears by obsessing over the minutia of kitchen work. Brine or dry rub? Breast up, breast down? Deep-fried or smoked? Should there been mac and cheese, and is adding \u003ca href=\"http://brokeassgourmet.com/articles/brown-butter-pumpkin-mac-and-cheese\">brown butter and pumpkin\u003c/a> brilliance or heresy? Here's what I can tell you, courtesy of years of writing Thanksgiving cooking advice: it is easier to worry about turkey, or cranberry sauce, or the flakiness of your pie crust than it is to be in the moment, with no distractions from the clamor of your own emotions, the ringing of your own wishful, overflowing, bruised or fearful heart.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep it in mind, then, as you seek to control in the kitchen what you may not be able to conquer in the dining room. More to the point, take heed of Fergus Henderson, chef and author of \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0062282611/kqedorg-20\">The Complete Nose to Tail\u003c/a>, who advises, “Do not be afraid of cooking, as your ingredients will know, and misbehave.\" So, now that you're happy, and focused, and not leaning all the weight of your perfect-holiday expectations on one frangible crust, let's bake!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I like farmers' market apples, where you can be sure of getting this season's fruit, still tangy and snappy-crunchy. You want apples with some complexity and density to them. Fujis and Galas are too sweet and too full of juice--they'll make a wet pie that's closer to applesauce. Granny Smiths are the opposite: too hard, too tart. I like to use a mix of whatever looks good. This pie was made with a combination of Black Twig and Pink Ladies, but Pippins, Jonagolds, Russets, Romes, and/or Braeburns would also work well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74580\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple-pie-apples1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74580\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple-pie-apples1000.jpg\" alt=\"Apples: Black Twig and Pink Ladies.

Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The crust is easiest to handle if you let it chill before rolling, so it's wise to get your dough mixed before you start on the filling. Put your butter--preferably, a high-fat, European-style butter like \u003ca href=\"http://strausfamilycreamery.com/products/item/organic-sweet-butter\">Straus Family Creamery European-Style Organic Butter\u003c/a> or Plugra--in the freezer to chill. You want it very cold and firm but not actually frozen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure the full amount of cold water and vinegar into a glass (or see-through plastic) wet measuring cup. Add a handful of ice cubes. Measure your flour by dipping a dry-measure cup into the flour, then sweeping off the excess with the flat side of a knife. Don't pack it, don't shake it! Whisk the sugar and salt into the flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using the coarse holes on a box grater, grate in the butter. Grating transforms the butter into thin, near-translucent curls. Once you've lightly but thoroughly mixed them into the flour, carefully breaking up any butter clumps, you're almost done. The texture will be nubbly-perfect, and you'll hardly have touched it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Quickly pour in about half your ice water (not including the cubes). Using a wooden spoon or a large fork, gently and quickly mix the water into the flour. Drizzle in remaining water as needed over any dry patches, about a tablespoon at a time. If you are using high-fat butter, which has a lower water content, you'll probably need more water than if you're using a regular supermarket brand. Stop when a handful of dough will just hold together when squeezed. A little crumbly is fine; it will get moister as it chills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you have time, it's a good idea to chill your dough before you roll it out. It's not crucial; I've gone straight from mixing to rolling to baking on occasion, and it worked just fine. However, chilling lets the butter firm up again before you roll, and cold butter leads to a flakier crust. Also, cold dough is less likely to turn into a a sticky, recalcitrant dough-child that flings itself face down onto the counter and refuses to come up without tearing once you start rolling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Divide your dough into equal parts. Scoop the dough into two resealable plastic bags. Flatten each into a round, squeezing out any remaining air from the bag, and seal. Chill the dough for an hour in the freezer or 2 hours in the refrigerator. The dough can also be refrigerated for 1-2 days ahead of baking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Using a small, sharp knife, cut 4 or 5 leaf-shaped ovals. To make the leaf \"veins,\" use the knife to mark a line down the center of each oval, then mark matching diagonal lines on either side. Be careful not to cut all the way through the pastry. Arrange the pastry leaves on the center of the top crust. You can also add \"berries\" by rolling a few small balls of dough and adding them where the leaves come together at the center. Using a sharp knife, slash top crust in several places to let steam escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you want a little shine on your crust, brush with milk or half-and-half. Use a clean pastry brush if you have one (i.e., not the one you use to baste the turkey, which will be all clotted and stuck together with grease). If you're light-handed and very quick, you can dip your fingertips in the cream and brush it like that. You don't need to get into every crimp; just concentrate on the top dome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Place your pie on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes. Cover the edges with foil or a pie shield if they seem to getting too brown. The filling should be bubbling gently; sticky pie juices may drip out (hence the baking sheet). The apples within should be tender but not cooked to mush, and most importantly, the crust must be brown--distinctly golden on top, toasty around the edges. Having recently been a judge at \u003ca href=\"http://www.cuesa.org/article/congratulations-pie-contest-winners\">CUESA's Pie Contest\u003c/a>, sharing the duties at my table with professional bakers from \u003ca href=\"http://www.kneadpatisserie.com/\">Knead Patisserie\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://threebabesbakeshop.com/\">3 Babes Bakeshop\u003c/a>, we saw, with disappointment, so many sadly underbaked crusts. If you're using a clear Pyrex pan, look at that bottom crust, and look for gold, not platinum. A pallid crust is a soft, dull crust. Don't be nervous.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Take it out, put it on a cooling rack, and walk away. It may seem lovely to launch right into your hot-from-the-oven pie, but like turkey, pie needs time to collect itself. A hot pie is a runny, runny pie. You will cut the first piece and wonder how you went so wrong as all the juices in the pie gush to fill the slice-shaped hole. But, let the pie sit for a couple of hours, til it's on the room temperature side of warm, and your patience will be rewarded: crisp, almost-shattering crust, melting apples, just enough cinnamon-fragrant juice to prove that no gelatinous glop went into the making of your perfect pie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74611\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple1000-open.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74611\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/apple1000-open.jpg\" alt=\"An interior view of the Classic Apple Pie.

To make the pie crust, pour water and vinegar into a glass measuring cup. Add a handful of ice cubes, and set aside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. Mix flour, sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the butter into the flour. Toss lightly to coat butter curls with flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Pour half the water (not the cubes) into flour mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to moisten the flour. Drizzle in remaining water (you may not need all of it) a tablespoon at a time, stirring gently, until you can just squeeze together a handful of dough. Stop adding water while dough is still slightly crumbly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Flatten dough into two rounds and seal in a resealable plastic bag. Chill in freezer for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 2 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Sprinkle a work surface with flour. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the first dough round, moving from the center to the edges. After every 2-3 rolls, pick up the dough and rotate it a quarter turn to keep it from sticking to the counter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Once dough is rolled evenly into a round about 2″ bigger than your pie plate, lift it up and drape it over the pie plate. Press gently into the pan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Fold excess dough inwards to make an even ridge. Wrap loosely in plastic wrap and chill until needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. To make the filling, peel, core, and slice the apples. Toss with sugar, spices, and salt. Let sit for 10 minutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. Pour accumulated liquid from apples into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook, watching carefully, until liquid has reduced down to the consistency of maple syrup. Remove from heat and pour over apples. Sprinkle on flour and mix thoroughly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>10. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Remove second dough round from the fridge and roll out as above. Remove crust-lined pan from the fridge. Scoop filling into pan. Drape top crust over filling. Fold extra dough under to form a ridge around the edge of the pan. Crimp edges together. Brush lightly with milk or half-and-half, if desired. Using a sharp knife, slash top crust in several places to let steam escape.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>11.

This artisan chocolate and confection business is the brainchild of San Francisco resident Kathy Wiley, who makes bittersweet chocolate tiles, bars, brittle, toffees and other delights – while definitely living up to the company mission of being on “the savory side of sweet.” Poco Dolce’s product line stands out each year at the ginormous \u003ca href=\"http://www.specialtyfood.com/fancy-food-show/\">NASFT Fancy Food Show\u003c/a>, and Wiley’s creations are among my favorite things to give or receive. Peter Perez, Associate Marketing Director, Food & Drink / Art Publishing of \u003ca href=\"http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/food-drink\">Chronicle Books\u003c/a>, is a friend of Wiley’s and “addicted fanboy of her tiles.” The two met at the Poco Dolce booth at the Fancy Food show in 2006, and realized they are both alums of Williams-Sonoma corporate. Perez, an avowed choco-obsessive (who reportedly has a collection of fine chocolate bar wrappers in his office), ably described the local chocolate scene for me:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“What the Bay Area does have at this stage is one of the largest concentrations of bean-to-bar and confection makers of the highest order, so for obsessive groupies like me, it’s a golden age to be in the midst of Poco Dolce, \u003ca href=\"http://www.dandelionchocolate.com/\">Dandelion\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.recchiuti.com/index.html\">Recchiuti\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://kikastreats.com/\">Kika’s Treats\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.cocodelice.com/\">Cocoa Delice\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.neococoa.com/\">NeoCocoa\u003c/a>, along with grandparent \u003ca href=\"http://guittard.com/\">Guittard\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>Considering Poco Dolce's place in the chocolate scene, I caught up with Wiley to see what business is like, as well as what her holiday faves are.

I’m trying to figure out how to get the turkey in my suitcase to bring to Chicago for Thanksgiving. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the end of the holiday meal, I like to have double shot espresso tiles, which are like an instant Irish coffee. We originally made bonbons with Irish cream, whiskey and a stout. Those became so popular, and we were asked to participate in two whiskey shows here in San Francisco. So now we have an assorted whiskey box; we used a smoky whiskey, a peaty one and threw in Bourbon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Our sea salt caramels are popular and we’re doing an assorted sea salt box with Himalayan pink salt, rosemary sea salt, balsamic and smoked Serrano sea salt. That last one is really exciting and I love a little heat; there’s something spicy in each of our lines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foodwise, on Christmas Eve, there will be a seafood celebration.

This artisan chocolate and confection business is the brainchild of San Francisco resident Kathy Wiley, who makes bittersweet chocolate tiles, bars, brittle, toffees and other delights – while definitely living up to the company mission of being on “the savory side of sweet.” Poco Dolce’s product line stands out each year at the ginormous \u003ca href=\"http://www.specialtyfood.com/fancy-food-show/\">NASFT Fancy Food Show\u003c/a>, and Wiley’s creations are among my favorite things to give or receive. Peter Perez, Associate Marketing Director, Food & Drink / Art Publishing of \u003ca href=\"http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/food-drink\">Chronicle Books\u003c/a>, is a friend of Wiley’s and “addicted fanboy of her tiles.” The two met at the Poco Dolce booth at the Fancy Food show in 2006, and realized they are both alums of Williams-Sonoma corporate.

Well, I grew up there, kind of all over the place: Houston, Dallas, and went to college right outside Austin. But as the first person in my entire family to be born in the state, we didn’t come with a rich heritage of traditional Texas dishes that were handed down through the generations. But that’s what friends are for. Years later, after I immigrated to California and took up residence, my closest friend from college moved out here as well. We started spending every Thanksgiving together, and every year he’d make his Meemaw’s buttermilk pie. I was intrigued. Buttermilk Pie? What? It sounded weird, but apparently it has a cult-like following in the longhorn state. Once I tasted it, I understood. It’s essentially a simple buttermilk and brown sugar custard pie, often flavored with a bit of vanilla and sometimes citrus zest. Being a baker, I decided to take it upon myself to come up with the ultimate version.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found that many versions were just too sweet, bordering on cloying (or just downright cloying). Or they used store-bought pastry crusts. Or they lacked depth of flavor. I wanted one that struck a balance between sweet and tangy, where the buttermilk still shone, and was highlighted with enough vanilla and citrus to give it some depth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like serving it with tangy fruit. Just use whatever you have, ideally whatever is ripe and in season. You can serve it with raw fruit, like succulent raspberries or slices of juicy peaches, or apples sautéed in a little sugar and lemon juice, or pears poached in white wine, citrus peel, and vanilla. Here I’ve served it with cranberry compote to give it a festive holiday glow. This is a nice alternative or even a lovely partner to a pumpkin custard pie on the Thanksgiving table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74437\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/buttermilkpie4.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74437\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/buttermilkpie4.jpg\" alt=\"Gathering ingredients for Buttermilk Pie and Cranberry Compote.

Well, I grew up there, kind of all over the place: Houston, Dallas, and went to college right outside Austin. But as the first person in my entire family to be born in the state, we didn’t come with a rich heritage of traditional Texas dishes that were handed down through the generations. But that’s what friends are for. Years later, after I immigrated to California and took up residence, my closest friend from college moved out here as well. We started spending every Thanksgiving together, and every year he’d make his Meemaw’s buttermilk pie. I was intrigued. Buttermilk Pie? What? It sounded weird, but apparently it has a cult-like following in the longhorn state. Once I tasted it, I understood. It’s essentially a simple buttermilk and brown sugar custard pie, often flavored with a bit of vanilla and sometimes citrus zest. Being a baker, I decided to take it upon myself to come up with the ultimate version.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I found that many versions were just too sweet, bordering on cloying (or just downright cloying). Or they used store-bought pastry crusts. Or they lacked depth of flavor. I wanted one that struck a balance between sweet and tangy, where the buttermilk still shone, and was highlighted with enough vanilla and citrus to give it some depth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I like serving it with tangy fruit. Just use whatever you have, ideally whatever is ripe and in season. You can serve it with raw fruit, like succulent raspberries or slices of juicy peaches, or apples sautéed in a little sugar and lemon juice, or pears poached in white wine, citrus peel, and vanilla. Here I’ve served it with cranberry compote to give it a festive holiday glow. This is a nice alternative or even a lovely partner to a pumpkin custard pie on the Thanksgiving table.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74437\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/buttermilkpie4.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74437\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/buttermilkpie4.jpg\" alt=\"Gathering ingredients for Buttermilk Pie and Cranberry Compote.

As a self-appointed \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/11/22/calling-the-pie-therapist/\">pie therapist\u003c/a>, I wish I could be in every one of your kitchens, holding your hands and convincing you that yes, this year, you \u003cem>can\u003c/em> make a delectable pie from scratch, with no need for frozen pre-made crusts or jarred fillings. But where I can't be, technology can, and so to this end, we've created a step-by-step photographic how-to to help you through the pie-making process, starting with what I call \u003cstrong>Better than Pumpkin Pie\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the Thanksgiving classic, what your guests and family think of when they think of pumpkin pie. It's the pie \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/peppermint-patty-pumpkinpie.jpg\">Peppermint Patty\u003c/a> was longing for when she shouted \"Where's the cranberry sauce, Chuck? Where's the PUMPKIN PIE??\" in the kids' television classic \u003cem>A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.\u003c/em> It needs only a dollop of (possibly bourbon'd) whipped cream to reach festive perfection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how can it be better than what it already is? By skipping the canned pumpkin, for starters, then by not using pumpkin at all, but rather freshly roasted and pureed butternut and kabocha squash. Using fresh squash will give your pie filling a lovely, fluffy texture that's very different from the typical heavy, stodgy wedge made with a can of Libby's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74290\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/squash1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74290\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/squash1000.jpg\" alt=\"Butternut and Kobocha squash.

Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Other, less trustworthy people will tell you that those small, melon-sized pumpkins are just what you want for pie. Well, they lie. Out of the vast pantheon of winter squash, pumpkin is among the least interesting in flavor and texture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Butternut squash, widely available at this time of year, are firm and meaty and have a sweet, mellow, rounded flavor when roasted. The flame-skinned, drum-shaped sunshine kabocha squash, common at farmers' markets and some specialty shops with good produce sections, is intensely flavorful, with a dense, chestnut-y sweetness. Mixed together, they make a bright, sweet, deliciously velvety puree worth spooning up all on its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning a whole squash into a pie-ready puree takes some time, it's true. But the three steps--roasting, mashing, draining--can be done several days before you need to bake. The puree will last at least four or five days in the refrigerator, and any extra can be used in soup, in pumpkin bread, muffins, or pancakes, or simply salted, peppered, warmed up and eaten as is, or with a dab of butter or trickle of cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how to make your squash puree. Using a sharp, heavy knife or cleaver, slice off the stem end of your butternut and discard. Slice the rest of the squash lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds and strings. Massage the cut side with a little neutral vegetable oil, like grapeseed or canola. Put the squash halves face down on a baking sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"74299,74294,74297,74295,74296,74298\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kabocha squash are harder to cut, so don't bother trying to remove the stem. Start just to the side of the stem and hack--carefully!--down to the bottom, splitting the squash in two. Using a spoon, scrape out seeds and strings. Massage the cut sides with a little neutral oil, like grapeseed or canola. Add the kabocha squash halves, face down, to the baking sheet. Roast in a preheated 400ºF oven until squishy and browned in spots, about 45-60 minutes. Remove baking sheet from oven. Flip the squash halves cut sides up, and let cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once the squash is cool enough to handle, scrape the flesh out of the skin. Fit the medium-hole disk into a food mill, if you have one, and set it over a deep bowl. Working in batches, scoop the squash in and crank it through the mill. If you don't have a food mill, you can puree the squash in a food processor, or mash it thoroughly with a potato masher. Whichever method you use, spoon the finished puree into a fine-mesh strainer and let it drain over a bowl for at least an hour. Discard the liquid. Pack the squash into a container with a lid and refrigerate until needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"74309,74308,74306,74303,74305,74304\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, onto the crust. You're going to all the trouble of using fresh squash, make an all-butter crust. Even better, use a high-fat butter, like \u003ca href=\"http://strausfamilycreamery.com/products/item/organic-sweet-butter\">Straus Family Creamery European-Style Organic Butter\u003c/a>. Chill your butter in the freezer for an hour or so, until it's very firm but not frozen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Measure the full amount of cold water and vinegar into a glass (or see-through plastic) wet measuring cup. Add a handful of ice cubes. Measure your flour by dipping a dry-measure cup into the flour, then sweeping off the excess with the flat side of a knife. Don't pack it, don't shake it! Mix the sugar and salt into the flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, here's the trick: Using the coarse holes on a box grater, grate in the butter. Doing it this way will give you the perfect texture with almost no manipulation on your part. The less you're touching the butter and the dough, the flakier your end result will be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"74348,74346,74345,74342,74343,74338,74339,74337,74336,74334,74355,74354,74353,74352,74350\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toss lightly with the flour to cover--this will help keep the butter curls from clumping or sticking together. Pour in about half your ice water (not including the cubes). Using a wooden spoon, gently and quickly mix the water into the flour. Drizzle in remaining water as needed, a tablespoon at a time, stirring gently, just until a handful of dough will hold together when squeezed. A little crumbly is fine; it's better to stop while the dough is still on the crumbly side than to turn it into a big gooey doughball. Scoop the dough into a resealable plastic bag. Flatten into a round, squeezing out any remaining air from the bag, and seal. If you have the time, chill the dough for an hour in the freezer or 2 hours in the refrigerator. Again, the dough can be refrigerated for 1-2 days ahead of baking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lightly sprinkle a large, clean work surface with flour. Rub a light coating of flour on your rolling pin. Take your dough out the freezer or fridge and pat into a roughly symmetrical round. Roll from the middle out to the edges, using the equal amounts of pressure as you go. After every few rolls, pick the dough up from the counter and revolve it a quarter turn. This helps keep the dough from sticking to your work surface. If it seems like it's sticking, loosen with a spatula, then sprinkle a little more flour underneath. Imagine you're painting sun rays all the way around from the center of the dough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you've got a nice, more-or-less round of evenly rolled dough, lift it into your pie pan. Press it gently into the pan. You should have about an inch of dough hanging over the edge; trim off any excess. Now, the fun part: crimping! There are \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelysanders/23-ways-to-make-your-pie-more-beautiful\">many, many ways to do this\u003c/a>. Personally, I like to fold my extra dough inwards (towards the middle of the pie) to make a ridge, then gently pinch it between the thumb and forefinger of each hand. Up with the left hand, down with the right, moving all the way around the pie until the whole thing has been crimped. The main thing is do something, even if it's just a plain or rolled ridge of dough along the edge, both to keep any excess filling from spilling out and to make the pie look nice and finished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74312\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/crimped-dough1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74312\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/crimped-dough1000.jpg\" alt=\"Crimping the pie dough.

Photo: Wendy Goodfriend\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Wrap your empty, crimped shell loosely in plastic wrap or foil and return it to the freezer or fridge while you put together the filling. By now you're probably getting that cold dough=good pie. Keeping the butter solid (rather than soft and melty) as much as possible before baking ensures the flakiest end result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Putting together the filling is easy. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Beat squash, sugar, spices, salt, bourbon (optional) and eggs together. Beat in cream. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake for 45 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is mostly set. The pie will continue to cook a bit as it cools, so leave the center a little jiggly. This will prevent giant fault-line cracks from cratering through the custard. Cool on a rack. If you're baking your pie the night before serving, refrigerate it once it's cooled to room temperature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery type=\"slideshow\" link=\"file\" ids=\"74320,74319,74318,74317,74315,74328\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just before serving, whip cream to soft peaks using a wire whisk or hand-held mixer.

But feel free to add in 1/2 teaspoon if desired; you can also replace the ginger and nutmeg with \"pumpkin pie spice,\" usually a mixture of cinnamon, ginger, allspice, cloves, and nutmeg. The fresh squash has a lot of flavor on its own, so keep the spicing light. And think long and hard before you decide to jazz things up with star anise or cardamom. You'll need 2 cups of pumpkin or squash puree for the pie; refrigerate or freeze any extra for other cooking projects.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74327\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/pie-stove-final.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74327\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/pie-stove-final.jpg\" alt=\"Better than Pumpkin Pie right out of the oven.

But where I can't be, technology can, and so to this end, we've created a step-by-step photographic how-to to help you through the pie-making process, starting with what I call \u003cstrong>Better than Pumpkin Pie\u003c/strong>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the Thanksgiving classic, what your guests and family think of when they think of pumpkin pie. It's the pie \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/peppermint-patty-pumpkinpie.jpg\">Peppermint Patty\u003c/a> was longing for when she shouted \"Where's the cranberry sauce, Chuck? Where's the PUMPKIN PIE??\" in the kids' television classic \u003cem>A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.\u003c/em> It needs only a dollop of (possibly bourbon'd) whipped cream to reach festive perfection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, how can it be better than what it already is? By skipping the canned pumpkin, for starters, then by not using pumpkin at all, but rather freshly roasted and pureed butternut and kabocha squash. Using fresh squash will give your pie filling a lovely, fluffy texture that's very different from the typical heavy, stodgy wedge made with a can of Libby's.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74290\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/squash1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74290\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/squash1000.jpg\" alt=\"Butternut and Kobocha squash.

The flame-skinned, drum-shaped sunshine kabocha squash, common at farmers' markets and some specialty shops with good produce sections, is intensely flavorful, with a dense, chestnut-y sweetness. Mixed together, they make a bright, sweet, deliciously velvety puree worth spooning up all on its own.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Turning a whole squash into a pie-ready puree takes some time, it's true. But the three steps--roasting, mashing, draining--can be done several days before you need to bake. The puree will last at least four or five days in the refrigerator, and any extra can be used in soup, in pumpkin bread, muffins, or pancakes, or simply salted, peppered, warmed up and eaten as is, or with a dab of butter or trickle of cream.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's how to make your squash puree. Using a sharp, heavy knife or cleaver, slice off the stem end of your butternut and discard. Slice the rest of the squash lengthwise. Using a spoon, scrape out the seeds and strings. Massage the cut side with a little neutral vegetable oil, like grapeseed or canola. Put the squash halves face down on a baking sheet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Massage the cut sides with a little neutral oil, like grapeseed or canola. Add the kabocha squash halves, face down, to the baking sheet.

Fit the medium-hole disk into a food mill, if you have one, and set it over a deep bowl. Working in batches, scoop the squash in and crank it through the mill. If you don't have a food mill, you can puree the squash in a food processor, or mash it thoroughly with a potato masher. Whichever method you use, spoon the finished puree into a fine-mesh strainer and let it drain over a bowl for at least an hour. Discard the liquid.

Pour in about half your ice water (not including the cubes). Using a wooden spoon, gently and quickly mix the water into the flour. Drizzle in remaining water as needed, a tablespoon at a time, stirring gently, just until a handful of dough will hold together when squeezed. A little crumbly is fine; it's better to stop while the dough is still on the crumbly side than to turn it into a big gooey doughball. Scoop the dough into a resealable plastic bag. Flatten into a round, squeezing out any remaining air from the bag, and seal. If you have the time, chill the dough for an hour in the freezer or 2 hours in the refrigerator. Again, the dough can be refrigerated for 1-2 days ahead of baking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lightly sprinkle a large, clean work surface with flour. Rub a light coating of flour on your rolling pin. Take your dough out the freezer or fridge and pat into a roughly symmetrical round. Roll from the middle out to the edges, using the equal amounts of pressure as you go. After every few rolls, pick the dough up from the counter and revolve it a quarter turn. This helps keep the dough from sticking to your work surface. If it seems like it's sticking, loosen with a spatula, then sprinkle a little more flour underneath. Imagine you're painting sun rays all the way around from the center of the dough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you've got a nice, more-or-less round of evenly rolled dough, lift it into your pie pan. Press it gently into the pan. You should have about an inch of dough hanging over the edge; trim off any excess. Now, the fun part: crimping! There are \u003ca href=\"http://www.buzzfeed.com/rachelysanders/23-ways-to-make-your-pie-more-beautiful\">many, many ways to do this\u003c/a>. Personally, I like to fold my extra dough inwards (towards the middle of the pie) to make a ridge, then gently pinch it between the thumb and forefinger of each hand. Up with the left hand, down with the right, moving all the way around the pie until the whole thing has been crimped. The main thing is do something, even if it's just a plain or rolled ridge of dough along the edge, both to keep any excess filling from spilling out and to make the pie look nice and finished.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_74312\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/crimped-dough1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-74312\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/11/crimped-dough1000.jpg\" alt=\"Crimping the pie dough.

Keeping the butter solid (rather than soft and melty) as much as possible before baking ensures the flakiest end result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Putting together the filling is easy. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Beat squash, sugar, spices, salt, bourbon (optional) and eggs together. Beat in cream. Pour mixture into pie shell and bake for 45 minutes, until crust is golden brown and filling is mostly set. The pie will continue to cook a bit as it cools, so leave the center a little jiggly. This will prevent giant fault-line cracks from cratering through the custard. Cool on a rack. If you're baking your pie the night before serving, refrigerate it once it's cooled to room temperature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Using the large holes on a box grater, grate the butter into the flour. Toss lightly to coat butter curls with flour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Pour half the water (not the cubes) into flour mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon to moisten the flour. Drizzle in remaining water (you may not need all of it) a tablespoon at a time, stirring gently, until you can just squeeze together a handful of dough. Stop adding water while dough is still slightly crumbly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. Flatten dough into a round and seal in a resealable plastic bag. Chill in freezer for 1 hour or in the refrigerator for 2 hours.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Sprinkle a work surface with flour. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll out the dough from the center to the edges. After every 2-3 rolls, pick up the dough and rotate it a quarter turn to keep it from sticking to the counter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. Once dough is rolled evenly into a round about 2\" bigger than your pie plate, lift it up and drape it over the pie plate. Press gently into the pan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. Fold excess dough inwards to make an even ridge. Crimp or shape as desired. Wrap loosely in plastic wrap and chill until needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>While your dough is chilling, roast the squash:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. Preheat oven to 400ºF. Cut squashes lengthwise. Scrape out seeds and strings. Rub cut sides with a little oil. Bake for 45-60 minutes, until squash is very soft when pierced with a knife. Remove from oven, flip cut side up and let cool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>9. Scrape flesh out of skins. Crank through the medium disk of a food mill or puree in a food processor. Scoop into a fine-mesh strainer over a bowl and drain for an hour. Discard liquid.
