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

"bio": "I am a writer, editor, mother of twins, and enthusiastic home cook. I was raised by an Italian-American mother who, in the 1970s, grew her own basil (because she couldn’t find any in the local grocery stores), zucchini (for those delicious flowers), and tomatoes (because the ones in the store tasted like “a potato”). My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>. My food inspirations are M.F.K Fisher, Julia Child, and Alice Waters — three fabulous women who encompass everything I love about food.",

So far she has learned that she very much enjoys salted caramel anything, a good soup dumpling is worth a scalded tongue, and there is no room in life for non-fat cheese and crappy chocolate. Also, a barrel of cheese balls never ends well. \r\n\r\nStephanie has been known to choose her company based on how much they can pack it down. Ability to endure cramped quarters, sketchy back alleys, and uncharted paths to seek out that special dish is also a plus in her book. If you fit the criteria, drop a note. You’ll probably get along just fine.\r\n\r\nStephanie's writing and photography have been featured in Fodor's Travel, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, Serious Eats, and Sundance Channel.

Bunches of taut, brilliantly verdant kale and chard, each leaf perfectly ruffled or puckered, turgid and bright, rustling together crisp as taffeta or a new dollar bill. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such perfection is no mean feat for an organic farm, where insidious leaf-miners and flea beetles (to name just two of a whole host of burrowing, munching hungry creatures who have a greedy lust for chard and arugula unmatched by even Alice Waters) can turn a row of gorgeous leaves into hole-punched eyelet overnight. Strong plants, good soil, a lot of attention, companion plantings that feed beneficial bugs--all these help. But so does accepting that your crop is always going to be on a bell curve, and not every leaf can be above average. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, restaurant chefs (and the picky shoppers paying top dollar at Ferry Plaza) want perfection. Providing impeccable produce year after year has made the reputation of these local farms. But what happens to all the delectable but not-quite-gorgeous-enough stuff? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thanks to \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinorganic.org\">Marin Organic\u003c/a>, it's showing up on the plates of those who need it most: active, hungry, growing kids. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Every Monday, Scott Davidson, Marin Organic's School Lunch and Gleaning Program Manager, meets up with an all-ages group of volunteers at a selected farm. The task is simple: go through rows that have already been harvested for sale, and pick the best of what's left. The produce is boxed, rinsed, and loaded onto Marin Organic's truck. Cooled overnight, it's delivered the next day to schools, camps, and/or after-school programs all over Marin, either for free or at very low cost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresh, nutritious, locally-grown produce goes to the kitchen and turns into lunch--and because there's no cost to the farm, and very little cost in labor, participating schools actually save money, money that can then be spent on getting more healthy food to their students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone with a couple of hours free on a Monday afternoon can \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinorganic.org/organic_school_lunch.php\">join the Glean Team\u003c/a>. Sign up online or over the phone, and an email detailing the next week's location will be sent to you every Friday. Usually, the location flip-flops between Green Gulch and Star Route, with a few other farms making occasional appearances. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wear a jacket and don't-mind-getting-muddy shoes, and bring a few tote and/or plastic bags for your post-gleaning haul. (After the gleaning is done, volunteers can go through the harvested section yet again and pick for themselves.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last Monday, we left a hot, sunny afternoon in Oakland for the cool, foggy twists of the Shoreline Highway, bumping down the eucalyptus-lined road to the Zen Center's Green Gulch Farm. As you might expect from a longtime Buddhist retreat cupped close to the ocean, the whole place is soaked in peace and abundantly quiet. The joy jumps out in color: ravishingly purple bursts of lavender, whorled-pink roses, black-red pincushion flowers, vermillion-tipped raspberry canes and espaliered apples and pears weighted with green-and-gold fruit. Yellow-spattered mustard plants gone to flower reach up six feet high over the broccoli and cabbage rows we've come to harvest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These weed-laced rows are going to be mowed under tomorrow, Scott tells us. The biggest, fattest heads of broccoli and cauliflower have already been picked, but sharp eyes can find side shoots, mini-heads growing next to where the main stalk was broken off. These tender, bite-sized florets are gold to school-kitchen chefs, he tells us, easy to cook and easy to eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500.jpg\" alt=\"broccoli\" title=\"broccoli\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15902\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We fan out down the rows. Everyone likes the hunt, especially the teenage boys in the crew. The leaves are huge and heavy, hiding the score, but underneath, the tender stalks snap easily and our recycled waxed-cardboard boxes fill up fast. We move onto small, loosely curled heads of cabbage, then over to red-veined plumes of ruby chard, puckery dino kale and curled Bloomsdale spinach. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're mindful to take only the best-looking stuff, part of the education process of eating local and organic. Because it's being given away, it has to look better, even, than what's bought: No one, even a cash-strapped camp or school, wants to feel like a dumping ground for wormy charity carrots, no matter how much Vitamin A they might provide. It's not hard, however: there are still plenty of lovely greens left, enough to fill at least twenty-five or thirty boxes, if not more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500a.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500a.jpg\" alt=\"broccoli\" title=\"broccoli\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15904\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott points out the clumps of nettles growing in between the rows. This weed is probably the most nutritious thing growing on the farm (sellable for at least $6 a pound at a farmers' market) but the leaves will cause a brief, itchy sting if touched. They do leave their mark on my wrists and knees as I pick, but I don't mind: I've happily paid good money for nettle soup and nettle pasta at \u003ca href=\"http://www.delfinasf.com\">Delfina\u003c/a>. Tomorrow's breakfast will be emerald eggs, scrambled with sauteed nettles. (Once cooked, they're harmless and delicious, especially rich in B vitamins. Just wear gloves, or use tongs, when working with the raw item.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By six o'clock, the boxes are neatly stacked in the truck. Now we can go over the rows one more time, picking for ourselves. Now I'm not so particular: holey chard, nettle tips, tiny volunteer beets and potatoes all go into my bag. We'll be living off this bounty for a few days at least, while back at the farm, the tractor will be turning under the last few roots and leaves, making room for a new planting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/greenpie500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/greenpie500.jpg\" alt=\"Green Gulch Greens Pie\" title=\"Green Gulch Greens Pie\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15906\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Green Gulch Greens Pie \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis adaptable, calzone-like pie is inspired by Greek spanikopita. You could easily replace the yeast dough with six or seven sheets of defrosted phyllo dough, brushing melted butter between each sheet before filling and sealing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any mixture of reasonably tender greens will work here, including chard, spinach, orach, mustard, radish or turnip tops, lacinato (dino) kale, and beet greens. If you want to add in some tougher greens, like collards, kale, or broccoli leaves, be sure to shred them very finely so they'll cook as fast as the softer greens. A handful of strongly flavored greens, like arugula, parsley, or sorrel can be tossed in as an accent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes 2 pies\u003c/strong>, enough to serve 6-8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor dough:\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 tsp yeast (1/2 package)\u003cbr>\n3/4 cup lukewarm water\u003cbr>\n2 cups all-purpose white flour, or 1 cup white flour mixed with 1 cup whole wheat flour\u003cbr>\n1 tbsp cornmeal\u003cbr>\n1 tsp salt\u003cbr>\n1 tbsp olive oil\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For filling:\u003cbr>\napproximately 10 cups shredded mixed greens\u003cbr>\n1 large onion, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)\u003cbr>\n4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped\u003cbr>\n2 tablespoons olive oil\u003cbr>\n1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste\u003cbr>\nJuice and grated rind of 1 lemon\u003cbr>\n2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled\u003cbr>\n1 oz. ricotta salata, crumbled\u003cbr>\nSalt, if needed\u003cbr>\n2 eggs\u003cbr>\n2 tbsp raw rice\u003cbr>\nEgg wash (optional): 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. To make dough: Dissolve yeast in water and let sit for a few minutes. In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal and salt. Pour in yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir to make a pliable dough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5-8 minutes, until it feels springy and elastic. Rinse out bowl, coat lightly with olive oil, and return dough to the bowl, turning to coat with oil. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Cover bowl with a clean damp towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and divide dough in two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. While dough is rising, make filling: Place a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add oil, then onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and translucent but not browned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Add greens by the handful, stirring, until they collapse and cook down. (You make have to do this in batches, removing the already cooked greens to a separate bowl.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. When all the greens are cooked, add nutmeg, lemon juice and lemon rind, and crumbled cheeses. Let cool slightly, and taste for seasoning, adding salt if needed. Stir in rice and beaten eggs, and let sit for 15 minutes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. To assemble, preheat oven to 375F. Roll and stretch one dough ball into a long oval. Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet. Place dough on sheet. Cover half the oval with greens filling, leaving an inch-wide margin. Fold over remaining dough and pinch together to seal.

The task is simple: go through rows that have already been harvested for sale, and pick the best of what's left. The produce is boxed, rinsed, and loaded onto Marin Organic's truck. Cooled overnight, it's delivered the next day to schools, camps, and/or after-school programs all over Marin, either for free or at very low cost. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fresh, nutritious, locally-grown produce goes to the kitchen and turns into lunch--and because there's no cost to the farm, and very little cost in labor, participating schools actually save money, money that can then be spent on getting more healthy food to their students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anyone with a couple of hours free on a Monday afternoon can \u003ca href=\"http://www.marinorganic.org/organic_school_lunch.php\">join the Glean Team\u003c/a>. Sign up online or over the phone, and an email detailing the next week's location will be sent to you every Friday. Usually, the location flip-flops between Green Gulch and Star Route, with a few other farms making occasional appearances. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wear a jacket and don't-mind-getting-muddy shoes, and bring a few tote and/or plastic bags for your post-gleaning haul. (After the gleaning is done, volunteers can go through the harvested section yet again and pick for themselves.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last Monday, we left a hot, sunny afternoon in Oakland for the cool, foggy twists of the Shoreline Highway, bumping down the eucalyptus-lined road to the Zen Center's Green Gulch Farm. As you might expect from a longtime Buddhist retreat cupped close to the ocean, the whole place is soaked in peace and abundantly quiet. The joy jumps out in color: ravishingly purple bursts of lavender, whorled-pink roses, black-red pincushion flowers, vermillion-tipped raspberry canes and espaliered apples and pears weighted with green-and-gold fruit. Yellow-spattered mustard plants gone to flower reach up six feet high over the broccoli and cabbage rows we've come to harvest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These weed-laced rows are going to be mowed under tomorrow, Scott tells us. The biggest, fattest heads of broccoli and cauliflower have already been picked, but sharp eyes can find side shoots, mini-heads growing next to where the main stalk was broken off. These tender, bite-sized florets are gold to school-kitchen chefs, he tells us, easy to cook and easy to eat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500.jpg\" alt=\"broccoli\" title=\"broccoli\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15902\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We fan out down the rows. Everyone likes the hunt, especially the teenage boys in the crew. The leaves are huge and heavy, hiding the score, but underneath, the tender stalks snap easily and our recycled waxed-cardboard boxes fill up fast. We move onto small, loosely curled heads of cabbage, then over to red-veined plumes of ruby chard, puckery dino kale and curled Bloomsdale spinach. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We're mindful to take only the best-looking stuff, part of the education process of eating local and organic. Because it's being given away, it has to look better, even, than what's bought: No one, even a cash-strapped camp or school, wants to feel like a dumping ground for wormy charity carrots, no matter how much Vitamin A they might provide. It's not hard, however: there are still plenty of lovely greens left, enough to fill at least twenty-five or thirty boxes, if not more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500a.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/broccoli500a.jpg\" alt=\"broccoli\" title=\"broccoli\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15904\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scott points out the clumps of nettles growing in between the rows. This weed is probably the most nutritious thing growing on the farm (sellable for at least $6 a pound at a farmers' market) but the leaves will cause a brief, itchy sting if touched. They do leave their mark on my wrists and knees as I pick, but I don't mind: I've happily paid good money for nettle soup and nettle pasta at \u003ca href=\"http://www.delfinasf.com\">Delfina\u003c/a>. Tomorrow's breakfast will be emerald eggs, scrambled with sauteed nettles. (Once cooked, they're harmless and delicious, especially rich in B vitamins. Just wear gloves, or use tongs, when working with the raw item.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By six o'clock, the boxes are neatly stacked in the truck. Now we can go over the rows one more time, picking for ourselves. Now I'm not so particular: holey chard, nettle tips, tiny volunteer beets and potatoes all go into my bag. We'll be living off this bounty for a few days at least, while back at the farm, the tractor will be turning under the last few roots and leaves, making room for a new planting. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/greenpie500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/08/greenpie500.jpg\" alt=\"Green Gulch Greens Pie\" title=\"Green Gulch Greens Pie\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15906\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Green Gulch Greens Pie \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThis adaptable, calzone-like pie is inspired by Greek spanikopita. You could easily replace the yeast dough with six or seven sheets of defrosted phyllo dough, brushing melted butter between each sheet before filling and sealing. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any mixture of reasonably tender greens will work here, including chard, spinach, orach, mustard, radish or turnip tops, lacinato (dino) kale, and beet greens. If you want to add in some tougher greens, like collards, kale, or broccoli leaves, be sure to shred them very finely so they'll cook as fast as the softer greens. A handful of strongly flavored greens, like arugula, parsley, or sorrel can be tossed in as an accent. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Makes 2 pies\u003c/strong>, enough to serve 6-8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nFor dough:\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 tsp yeast (1/2 package)\u003cbr>\n3/4 cup lukewarm water\u003cbr>\n2 cups all-purpose white flour, or 1 cup white flour mixed with 1 cup whole wheat flour\u003cbr>\n1 tbsp cornmeal\u003cbr>\n1 tsp salt\u003cbr>\n1 tbsp olive oil\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For filling:\u003cbr>\napproximately 10 cups shredded mixed greens\u003cbr>\n1 large onion, peeled and diced (about 1 cup)\u003cbr>\n4 cloves garlic, peeled and chopped\u003cbr>\n2 tablespoons olive oil\u003cbr>\n1/4 tsp freshly grated nutmeg, or to taste\u003cbr>\nJuice and grated rind of 1 lemon\u003cbr>\n2 oz. feta cheese, crumbled\u003cbr>\n1 oz. ricotta salata, crumbled\u003cbr>\nSalt, if needed\u003cbr>\n2 eggs\u003cbr>\n2 tbsp raw rice\u003cbr>\nEgg wash (optional): 1 egg yolk beaten with 1 tbsp water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1. To make dough: Dissolve yeast in water and let sit for a few minutes. In a large bowl, stir together flour, cornmeal and salt. Pour in yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir to make a pliable dough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. On a lightly floured surface, knead dough for 5-8 minutes, until it feels springy and elastic. Rinse out bowl, coat lightly with olive oil, and return dough to the bowl, turning to coat with oil. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. Cover bowl with a clean damp towel and let dough rise in a warm place until doubled in bulk, about 1 1/2 hours. Punch down and divide dough in two.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>4. While dough is rising, make filling: Place a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add oil, then onions and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are soft and translucent but not browned. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>5. Add greens by the handful, stirring, until they collapse and cook down. (You make have to do this in batches, removing the already cooked greens to a separate bowl.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>6. When all the greens are cooked, add nutmeg, lemon juice and lemon rind, and crumbled cheeses. Let cool slightly, and taste for seasoning, adding salt if needed. Stir in rice and beaten eggs, and let sit for 15 minutes. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>7. To assemble, preheat oven to 375F. Roll and stretch one dough ball into a long oval. Lightly grease a large rimmed baking sheet. Place dough on sheet. Cover half the oval with greens filling, leaving an inch-wide margin. Fold over remaining dough and pinch together to seal. Repeat with remaining portion of dough. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>8. If desired, brush pies with egg wash. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until dough is firm and golden brown. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I caught Oakes surveying the scene with a smile on her face and she must have been thinking the same thing as she commented on how calm everyone was. No frenzy, no panic. Just brisk, precise work, and lots of smiles. And this is why these are our star chefs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/05/IMG_2008_Boulevard_berry-brioche-pudding.jpg\" alt=\"Boulevard's berry brioche pudding\" title=\"Boulevard's berry brioche pudding\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13630\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evening ended with a stunning dessert reception with every sweet imaginable – cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, mochi, affogato, chocolate in all shapes and sizes – indulgent confections all laid out to be ravished with gusto.

A record-breaking $1.2 million was raised this year. Not surprising, considering there were some big ticket items on the auction block, like getting whisked away on a private jet to Sun Valley for three nights, during which \u003cstrong>Nancy Oakes\u003c/strong> (Boulevard) herself will prepare dinner for you and 7 of your closest friends (Winning bid: $38K). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/05/IMG_1752_chefs.jpg\" alt=\"Chefs behind the scenes\" title=\"Chefs behind the scenes\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13628\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By far, the coolest thing of the evening was getting to witness the mass of top chefs preparing the courses behind the curtain. It was a sight to behold. A sea of plates, chef's whites, and incredible camaraderie. It was like a well-orchestrated dance -- teams of chefs searing, plating, garnishing…dozens of skilled hands hovering over rows upon rows of plates…and a procession of fantastic servers at the ready. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/05/IMG_1755_chefs.jpg\" alt=\"Mourad Lahlou and Chefs\" title=\"Mourad Lahlou and Chefs\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13629\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gala Chef Chair Nancy Oakes oversaw the 10 teams of chefs, with each team producing a different 3-course menu for close to 1000 guests. Given the scale of this endeavor, it was truly impressive how completely under control the entire operation was. I caught Oakes surveying the scene with a smile on her face and she must have been thinking the same thing as she commented on how calm everyone was. No frenzy, no panic. Just brisk, precise work, and lots of smiles. And this is why these are our star chefs. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/05/IMG_2008_Boulevard_berry-brioche-pudding.jpg\" alt=\"Boulevard's berry brioche pudding\" title=\"Boulevard's berry brioche pudding\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13630\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evening ended with a stunning dessert reception with every sweet imaginable – cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, mochi, affogato, chocolate in all shapes and sizes – indulgent confections all laid out to be ravished with gusto. By then it seemed, everyone was too sauced to count calories. Favorites of the evening were \u003cstrong>Jessica Sullivan's\u003c/strong> (Boulevard) summer berry brioche pudding and \u003cstrong>Taste Catering's\u003c/strong> fantastical Alice in Wonderland-inspired spread. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Generally speaking though, I think it's safe to say that every excessive calorie was consumed with relish that evening.

She will be leading an illustrious line-up of more than \u003cstrong>70\u003c/strong> of the Bay Area's finest chefs. Who says too many cooks in the kitchen is a bad thing? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the chefs participating in this year's gala are: Mourad Lahlou (Aziza), Jeff Banker/Lori Baker (Baker & Banker), Daniel Patterson (Coi), Douglas Keane/Nick Peyton (Cyrus), Jan Birnbaum (Epic Roasthouse), Thomas McNaughton (Flour + Water), Chris Cosentino (Incanto), Staffan Terje (Perbacco), Laurence Jossel (Nopa / Nopalito), Richard Reddington (REDD), Charles Phan (The Slanted Door), and Mark Sullivan (Spruce). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Talk about a culinary dream team, huh?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/05/MOW09_lahlou.jpg\" alt=\"Mourad Lahlou at Star Chefs and Vintners Gala\" title=\"Mourad Lahlou at Star Chefs and Vintners Gala\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13021\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With so many all-stars on board, the meal will no doubt be stellar. I asked Oakes what it's like organizing such a massive undertaking with so much talent involved. She responded, \"First and foremost, we are so fortunate to be in the Bay Area. So many [of our talented chefs] say yes.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Logistically, the evening will begin with an \u003cstrong>hors d'oeuvre \"grazer\"\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>wine reception\u003c/strong>, featuring creations from more than 30 chef and wineries. Following will be a \u003cstrong>three-course, sit-down meal\u003c/strong>. Oakes explained, the chefs have been grouped together to form 8 groups total. Each group will prepare its own menu for its assigned seating area. \"The goal is to let the chefs be who they are,\" she said. \"With each group cooking for about 100 people, it's important that they are able to put something out that they are proud of…and of course, to have fun.\" Chefs with similar cooking styles will be grouped together, and at least one veteran gala chef will be placed on each team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, with more than \u003cstrong>75\u003c/strong> of California's leading vintners participating in the gala, there will be plenty of wine to pair with all that fantastic food. And in case you're still feeling thirsty, a special cocktail bar manned by beloved bartenders, Scott Beattie (Hangar One), Jon Gasparini (Rye), Scott Baird & Aaron Smith (15 Romolo) and Daniel Hyatt (The Alembic Bar) will serve up classic spirits and exotic concoctions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evening will culminate with a lavish dessert reception, featuring sweet treats from Sara Spearin (Dynamo Donuts), Jake Godby (Humphry Slocombe) and Bill Corbett (Coi & Il Cane Rosso), just to name a few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/05/MOW09_auction.jpg\" alt=\"Star Chefs and Vintners Gala Auction\" title=\"Star Chefs and Vintners Gala Auction\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13022\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's not forget about the benefit aspect of this whole shindig. Both a \u003cstrong>live\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>silent auction\u003c/strong> will be held, during which guests will have the opportunity to bid on a number of lavish prizes (food, wine, and luxury-themed). Guests will also have the chance to pledge donations to the \u003cstrong>\"Fund-A-Route\"\u003c/strong> campaign, which goes towards funding an entire meal delivery route for the next year. Last year's gala raised a grand total of $1.1 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Providing nourishing meals and supportive services for San Francisco's seniors is of utmost importance during these trying economic times,\" said Ashley McCumber, Executive Director of Meals On Wheels of San Francisco. \"With the generosity of these world-class chefs and wineries, we are able to provide 440,000 meals to seniors in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tickets are pricey, but if you have deep pockets or know someone who does, encourage them to wine and dine for a good cause. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Individual tickets are priced at $400, with patron levels ranging from $1,500 to $20,000.

Each group will prepare its own menu for its assigned seating area. \"The goal is to let the chefs be who they are,\" she said. \"With each group cooking for about 100 people, it's important that they are able to put something out that they are proud of…and of course, to have fun.\" Chefs with similar cooking styles will be grouped together, and at least one veteran gala chef will be placed on each team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, with more than \u003cstrong>75\u003c/strong> of California's leading vintners participating in the gala, there will be plenty of wine to pair with all that fantastic food. And in case you're still feeling thirsty, a special cocktail bar manned by beloved bartenders, Scott Beattie (Hangar One), Jon Gasparini (Rye), Scott Baird & Aaron Smith (15 Romolo) and Daniel Hyatt (The Alembic Bar) will serve up classic spirits and exotic concoctions. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evening will culminate with a lavish dessert reception, featuring sweet treats from Sara Spearin (Dynamo Donuts), Jake Godby (Humphry Slocombe) and Bill Corbett (Coi & Il Cane Rosso), just to name a few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/05/MOW09_auction.jpg\" alt=\"Star Chefs and Vintners Gala Auction\" title=\"Star Chefs and Vintners Gala Auction\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13022\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Let's not forget about the benefit aspect of this whole shindig.

Guests will also have the chance to pledge donations to the \u003cstrong>\"Fund-A-Route\"\u003c/strong> campaign, which goes towards funding an entire meal delivery route for the next year. Last year's gala raised a grand total of $1.1 million. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Providing nourishing meals and supportive services for San Francisco's seniors is of utmost importance during these trying economic times,\" said Ashley McCumber, Executive Director of Meals On Wheels of San Francisco. \"With the generosity of these world-class chefs and wineries, we are able to provide 440,000 meals to seniors in San Francisco.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tickets are pricey, but if you have deep pockets or know someone who does, encourage them to wine and dine for a good cause. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Individual tickets are priced at $400, with patron levels ranging from $1,500 to $20,000.

Miller\" title=\"Mural at Free Farm by Leanne C. Miller\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12799\">\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>From graffiti to mural at Free Farm\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a place as densely populated as the Bay Area, one person's bright idea can make a big impact. Just ask Mary Risley, owner of \u003ca href=\"http://www.tantemarie.com\">Tante Marie's Cooking School\u003c/a> and the founder of \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodrunners.org\">Food Runners\u003c/a>. As a cooking teacher, Risley loved being part of San Francisco's vibrant food culture. But she also knew that part of the price of perfection for the city's restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and cooking schools was a willingness to toss anything that wasn't 100% great. Which meant a lot of food--good quality, clean, unused but not sellable--was filling up a lot of dumpsters at the end of every business day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the city's ever-rising cost of living (and ever-squeezed public and private resources for homeless shelters, low-income families, and crisis centers), how could such food get out of the landfill and into the hands of the hungry? Businesses were busy, nonprofits were stretched; the missing link was just that, a link that would connect the food industry with organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking for a way to start giving back to the city that had nourished her and supported her business, Risley went first to the SF Food Bank, but realized she wanted to be doing a lot more than packing bags of canned goods. So the Food Bank got her in touch with Daily Bread, an organization in Berkeley run by Carolyn North, which picked up unused food and spread it around to the city's homeless shelters and crisis centers. She asked North if she could start a similar organization across the bay, and North agreed, so long as she changed the name. So in 1987, Risley started Food Runners, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding the hungry by reducing food waste. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a businesswoman, Risley wanted to make Food Runners into a professional, easy-to-use system that would be simple and mutually beneficial for both businesses and service organizations. 23 years later, Food Runners relies on a network of 250 volunteers who pick up excess usable food from over 400 sites every weekday, from every type of place from small cafes and big hotels to local schools and corporate cafeterias. The food is delivered by volunteers' car and the company's refrigerated truck to shelters and neighborhood food pantries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe align=\"center\" src=\"http://www.flickr.com/slideShow/index.gne?group_id=&user_id=16618038@N00&set_id=72157623804632613&tags=urbangardens\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"no\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I managed a cafe in the Ferry Building, I knew that all I had to do was box up our extra pastries at the end of every day. The next morning, a cheerful volunteer would show up, pick up the boxes and sign off on my tax-deductible tally sheet. Later that day, those pastries, made with organic ingredients and fruit from a local family farm, might be feeding parents and kids at a drop-in center for homeless families, or adding a little bit of sweetness to a seniors' lunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other ways to turn waste into resources. The easiest way to start? Drop that banana peel into your green bin. One banana peel multiplied by over 700,000 residents in San Francisco alone means that many tons of food waste (everything from that four-day-old hunk of burrito at the back of the fridge to orange peels and onion skins) are diverted from the waste stream every day via the city's green-waste bins. All that stinky stuff goes to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jepsonprairieorganics.com/\">Jepson Prairie Organics\u003c/a>, a composting facility near Vacaville. Over the course of about 30 days, it's transformed into high-quality compost that's ready for use by local farms, nurseries, and vineyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or, what about starting from the very beginning, and growing more food from scratch right here in the city? Even in cities as highly populated as San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, a surprisingly amount of arable land is still available. Just look at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefreefarm.org\">Free Farm\u003c/a>, which was started on a vacant lot at Gough and Eddy Streets in January of this year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastor Megan Rohrer, a young Lutheran pastor who works with a variety of homeless communities around the city as the executive director of\u003ca href=\"http://www.welcomeministry.org\"> Welcome Ministry\u003c/a>, wanted to expand the work she was doing, going from feeding the hungry of San Francisco to growing food for those same communities. The St. Paulus Lutheran church was willing to offer an empty lot it owned to her and a dedicated community of volunteers to make a garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile Tree, a longtime food-justice activist and community gardener as well as the founder of the Mission's popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.freefarmstand.org\">Free Farmstand\u003c/a>, was looking for a place to grow more local food to supply the farmstand. Once Megan's church connections met Tree's gardening expertise, the Free Farm was born. With grants from the Mesa Foundation along with several local Episcopal and Lutheran churches, plus a whole lot of wheelbarrow-pushing volunteer labor, the weedy lot has undergone an astonishing transformation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was once a trash-strewn, needle-littered eyesore that neighbors called \"The Pit\" is now a welcoming, mural-lined space full of neatly mounded raised beds planted with salad mix, potatoes, beans, broccoli and lettuce. Bricks salvaged from the St. Paulus church (which stood on the space before burning down in 1995) now form strawberry beds on the hillside and a winding spiral bed planted with flowers, herbs, and vegetables.

Just ask Mary Risley, owner of \u003ca href=\"http://www.tantemarie.com\">Tante Marie's Cooking School\u003c/a> and the founder of \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodrunners.org\">Food Runners\u003c/a>. As a cooking teacher, Risley loved being part of San Francisco's vibrant food culture. But she also knew that part of the price of perfection for the city's restaurants, bakeries, cafes, and cooking schools was a willingness to toss anything that wasn't 100% great. Which meant a lot of food--good quality, clean, unused but not sellable--was filling up a lot of dumpsters at the end of every business day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the city's ever-rising cost of living (and ever-squeezed public and private resources for homeless shelters, low-income families, and crisis centers), how could such food get out of the landfill and into the hands of the hungry? Businesses were busy, nonprofits were stretched; the missing link was just that, a link that would connect the food industry with organizations dedicated to feeding the hungry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Looking for a way to start giving back to the city that had nourished her and supported her business, Risley went first to the SF Food Bank, but realized she wanted to be doing a lot more than packing bags of canned goods. So the Food Bank got her in touch with Daily Bread, an organization in Berkeley run by Carolyn North, which picked up unused food and spread it around to the city's homeless shelters and crisis centers. She asked North if she could start a similar organization across the bay, and North agreed, so long as she changed the name. So in 1987, Risley started Food Runners, a nonprofit dedicated to feeding the hungry by reducing food waste. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a businesswoman, Risley wanted to make Food Runners into a professional, easy-to-use system that would be simple and mutually beneficial for both businesses and service organizations. 23 years later, Food Runners relies on a network of 250 volunteers who pick up excess usable food from over 400 sites every weekday, from every type of place from small cafes and big hotels to local schools and corporate cafeterias. The food is delivered by volunteers' car and the company's refrigerated truck to shelters and neighborhood food pantries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The next morning, a cheerful volunteer would show up, pick up the boxes and sign off on my tax-deductible tally sheet. Later that day, those pastries, made with organic ingredients and fruit from a local family farm, might be feeding parents and kids at a drop-in center for homeless families, or adding a little bit of sweetness to a seniors' lunch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other ways to turn waste into resources. The easiest way to start? Drop that banana peel into your green bin. One banana peel multiplied by over 700,000 residents in San Francisco alone means that many tons of food waste (everything from that four-day-old hunk of burrito at the back of the fridge to orange peels and onion skins) are diverted from the waste stream every day via the city's green-waste bins. All that stinky stuff goes to \u003ca href=\"http://www.jepsonprairieorganics.com/\">Jepson Prairie Organics\u003c/a>, a composting facility near Vacaville. Over the course of about 30 days, it's transformed into high-quality compost that's ready for use by local farms, nurseries, and vineyards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or, what about starting from the very beginning, and growing more food from scratch right here in the city? Even in cities as highly populated as San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley, a surprisingly amount of arable land is still available. Just look at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.thefreefarm.org\">Free Farm\u003c/a>, which was started on a vacant lot at Gough and Eddy Streets in January of this year. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastor Megan Rohrer, a young Lutheran pastor who works with a variety of homeless communities around the city as the executive director of\u003ca href=\"http://www.welcomeministry.org\"> Welcome Ministry\u003c/a>, wanted to expand the work she was doing, going from feeding the hungry of San Francisco to growing food for those same communities. The St. Paulus Lutheran church was willing to offer an empty lot it owned to her and a dedicated community of volunteers to make a garden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile Tree, a longtime food-justice activist and community gardener as well as the founder of the Mission's popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.freefarmstand.org\">Free Farmstand\u003c/a>, was looking for a place to grow more local food to supply the farmstand. Once Megan's church connections met Tree's gardening expertise, the Free Farm was born. With grants from the Mesa Foundation along with several local Episcopal and Lutheran churches, plus a whole lot of wheelbarrow-pushing volunteer labor, the weedy lot has undergone an astonishing transformation. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What was once a trash-strewn, needle-littered eyesore that neighbors called \"The Pit\" is now a welcoming, mural-lined space full of neatly mounded raised beds planted with salad mix, potatoes, beans, broccoli and lettuce. Bricks salvaged from the St. Paulus church (which stood on the space before burning down in 1995) now form strawberry beds on the hillside and a winding spiral bed planted with flowers, herbs, and vegetables. Cold frames and a newly built greenhouse are filled with trays of tiny seedlings, everything from kale to tomatoes to marigolds started from seeds donated by church communities across the country. Bright garden-themed murals by local artist Leanne C. Miller cover the concrete wall on the west side, and there are plans to bring more artists and sculptors into the garden to create site-specific works. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Volunteers get down and dirty every Wednesday and Saturday from 10am to 2pm, building infrastructure, hauling mulch, manure and compost, planting seedlings, waterings, and more.

As I stood in my kitchen, I realized that I had never given much thought to Haiti. Period. I knew nothing of their music, or culture, or food. All that had ever come to mind prior to yesterday were thoughts of slavery, revolution, poverty, and natural disaster. Never in my life had I had a single, happy thought about the place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I wondered what the people of Haiti ate? There are few better ways of getting the feel of an unfamiliar place or culture than to eat their food.

There are myriad ways to spell it, but only one way to eat it-- with a spoon. Make that two ways to eat it-- hot or cold. Either way, it's a good way to start the day. Or end it, for that matter. The following recipe makes six to eight servings, so I will be breakfasting on it every morning and, while I do, I will be reading and watching and praying for things to get better (can these people \u003cem>please\u003c/em> get a break once in a while?) in Haiti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 unripe (green) plantain\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 large or two small, ripe yellow bananas\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 cups water\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 can (12 oz.) of evaporated milk\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1 can (12 oz.) of coconut milk (or 1 cup whole milk)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>½ teaspoon vanilla extract\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3 cinnamon sticks\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2 whole star anise\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pinch of grated nutmeg\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A heavy pinch of salt\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>½ light or dark brown sugar (white sugar will work, too)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>½ teaspoon grated lime zest\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More dark brown sugar and lime zest for garnish\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1.

On Thanksgiving, most of us will be inundated with turkey, potatoes, and pie. The idea of an empty belly seems incongruous to the day itself. But for many families, it's a sober reality. In San Francisco alone, over 150,000 people lack the resources to feed themselves and their families. They're thankful not only for their families, but for the food banks whose tireless employees and volunteers helped put food on their tables. So if you're looking for a way to give back to your community this holiday season or all year, here are some local volunteer opportunities at organizations offering food to those in need. If you know of a great program not listed here, please include it in the comments section.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareahunger.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bay Area Hunger\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is a great place to get started if you're interested in volunteering at a food bank.

They're thankful not only for their families, but for the food banks whose tireless employees and volunteers helped put food on their tables. So if you're looking for a way to give back to your community this holiday season or all year, here are some local volunteer opportunities at organizations offering food to those in need. If you know of a great program not listed here, please include it in the comments section.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bayareahunger.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bay Area Hunger\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>This is a great place to get started if you're interested in volunteering at a food bank.
