"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

"bio": "Stephanie Hua is the creator of \u003ca href=\"http://lickmyspoon.com\">Lick My Spoon\u003c/a>, a place for all things delicious. 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.

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

Nearby is a large table set with pre-made sugar skulls and everything to decorate your own: bags of bright colored icing, foil, feathers, glitter and sequins.

A picture of Hopewell's own mother is placed on the altar because, \"Mom always loved a good party.\" Hopewell tells me the mood of the Mexican Day of the Dead celebrations she experienced was not gloomy but upbeat and inviting. \"It's common to write the dead person's name on one sugar skull and your name on the other.

That’s one of the central themes of Burning Man. You know, starting out with kindling, sparks, working your way up to fire and smoke, and then ending with embers and ash.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think red braised pork belly, “with Chinese long beans that have been cooked with fermented soy beans and chili sauce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Think white gazpacho “with a smoky element.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, at least one of the dishes \u003cem>has\u003c/em> to include date sugar -- a playful nod to playa sand -- “So you get that sweetness, that powdery texture, but also the flavor of dates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cocktail pairings follow in a similar vein: a Wasabi Cucumber Gimlet, for instance -- and a Russian Caravan, with smoked tea, honey and bourbon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/wasabi-cucumber-gimlet-chris-prince-final.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48406\" title=\"Wasabi Cucumber Gimlet.

He left a year ago to pursue other passions, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.lazybearsf.com/\">Lazy Bear\u003c/a>, an underground restaurant in San Francisco. He’s the kind of guy who relishes a logistical challenge. That said, the scorpion will NOT actually be moving during the course of the meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re close enough to the impossible level that we don’t need it to be any more challenging,” Prince says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the scorpion will be parked at some distance from the makeshift kitchen where the meal will be prepared. And the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.burningman.com/2012/08/playa-tips/its-a-dusty-one-folks/\">forecast calls for dust storms\u003c/a> -- for which Burning Man organizers recommend goggles, bandanas and baby wipes. The playa demands \u003ca href=\"http://www.burningman.com/whatisburningman/about_burningman/principles.html\">radical self-reliance\u003c/a> from those who dare to tread on its hot sands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prince’s right hand man in this endeavor will be his colleague at Lazy Bear, founding chef David Barzelay. “Chris and I have both done a fair bit of camping independently,” he says, “but I’ve certainly never tried to put on any kind of opulent meal in a camping situation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/DaveandChris1000.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-48428\" title=\"David Barzelay and Chris Prince of Lazy Bear\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/DaveandChris1000.jpg\" alt=\"David Barzelay and Chris Prince of Lazy Bear\" width=\"560\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>David Barzelay and Chris Prince of Lazy Bear, an underground restaurant in San Francisco, signed up to deliver a multi-course \"thank you\" dinner to key volunteers with the Black Rock French Quarter.

He left a year ago to pursue other passions, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.lazybearsf.com/\">Lazy Bear\u003c/a>, an underground restaurant in San Francisco. He’s the kind of guy who relishes a logistical challenge. That said, the scorpion will NOT actually be moving during the course of the meal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re close enough to the impossible level that we don’t need it to be any more challenging,” Prince says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the scorpion will be parked at some distance from the makeshift kitchen where the meal will be prepared. And the \u003ca href=\"http://blog.burningman.com/2012/08/playa-tips/its-a-dusty-one-folks/\">forecast calls for dust storms\u003c/a> -- for which Burning Man organizers recommend goggles, bandanas and baby wipes.

Served with \u003cem>adjika\u003c/em>, a Georgian version of salsa, “made from tomato, chili pepper, bell pepper, garlic dill, cilantro -- it’s good with meat or fish.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3) Georgian Sangria: a blend of red grape, cranberry, apple, and pomegranate juices. Pomegranates are an important part of Georgian cuisine. “In Georgia, you can find them all yearlong at farmers' markets. But here pomegranates are seasonal, so I can use pomegranate molasses,” Ghlonti says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area Bites interviewed Lali Ghlonti at her beloved La Cocina:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Georgian cuisine doesn't seem to be very well known yet. What are some of its typical ingredients?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_cuisine\">Georgian dishes\u003c/a> use herbs like cilantro, onions, red pepper, fenugreek, coriander, pomegranate, fish, meat and lamb, chicken. Fenugreek was hard to find when I first moved here, but then I found it at Whole Foods and when I go to Georgia to visit I bring some back here. \u003ca href=\"http://www.aboutgeorgia.ge/cuisine/\">Georgian cuisine\u003c/a> has absorbed the best culinary influences of its neighbors and we love meat, eggplant, soups, nuts and spices. It’s also one of the most ancient wine making cultures too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do Americans have any misconceptions when they find out you are from Georgia?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. They don’t know where Georgia is; they think I am from the state of Georgia or from Russia. The Georgian language is completely different from Russian, with a completely different alphabet. I married a guy from Odessa. I speak Russian as well as Georgian. In Georgia, everyone loves to cook, men too. My father cooked at least two times a week. He made a good chicken \u003cem>satsivi\u003c/em> with walnut sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I've heard Georgians have a culinary tradition of holding feasts. Can you tell me what they are like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Georgian people are famous for their hospitality. Feasts are very important. You can have 100 people at a feast, which may go on all night. You always have a toastmaster, called a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamada\">Tamada\u003c/a> who is in charge, a strong guy who can really drink. He uses a horn decorated with silver to make many toasts with red wine. He could make 50 toasts to parents, elders and guests. See, with the horn shape, he has to finish every drink because he can’t put it down on table. Toasts are even made to ideas like life, love, friendship. Each person around the table expresses their personal understanding of these abstract concepts. The feast and toasts go on all day, while new platters of food are brought. It continues the next day with what we call hangover soup, \u003cem>khashi\u003c/em> -- that’s made from the cows’ stomach and legs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You just got selected to be one of the five businesses at the former Red Vic Movie House on Haight Street. Are you excited?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second happiest day of my life was when I found out I was accepted for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tablehopper.com/chatterbox/as-previous-reportedhttpwwwtablehoppercomchatterboxthe-plans-for-the-red-vic-on-tablehopper/\">Second Act Marketplace\u003c/a> which will be part of the former Red Vic Movie House. It's set to open in March of 2013. I’ll have a small stand to make Georgian pastries. This really means a lot. My dream is to open a café so I can grow the finances to bring my parents here from Georgia. My café would be the first in San Francisco to serve authentic Georgian cuisine. There’s a Russian restaurant here that says they serve Georgian food. I tried it, but it wasn’t the real Georgian food. You don’t know it unless you lived in Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At the SF Street Food Festival look for Lali between 20th and 21st streets.

Her mother is Russian, her father Georgian. “Mom's favorite dish is blintzes. She taught me how to make them by hand. The chicken is baked, then ground with fried onion, pepper and salt. Served with \u003cem>adjika\u003c/em>, a Georgian version of salsa, “made from tomato, chili pepper, bell pepper, garlic dill, cilantro -- it’s good with meat or fish.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3) Georgian Sangria: a blend of red grape, cranberry, apple, and pomegranate juices. Pomegranates are an important part of Georgian cuisine. “In Georgia, you can find them all yearlong at farmers' markets.

What are some of its typical ingredients?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgian_cuisine\">Georgian dishes\u003c/a> use herbs like cilantro, onions, red pepper, fenugreek, coriander, pomegranate, fish, meat and lamb, chicken. Fenugreek was hard to find when I first moved here, but then I found it at Whole Foods and when I go to Georgia to visit I bring some back here. \u003ca href=\"http://www.aboutgeorgia.ge/cuisine/\">Georgian cuisine\u003c/a> has absorbed the best culinary influences of its neighbors and we love meat, eggplant, soups, nuts and spices. It’s also one of the most ancient wine making cultures too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Do Americans have any misconceptions when they find out you are from Georgia?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes. They don’t know where Georgia is; they think I am from the state of Georgia or from Russia. The Georgian language is completely different from Russian, with a completely different alphabet. I married a guy from Odessa. I speak Russian as well as Georgian. In Georgia, everyone loves to cook, men too. My father cooked at least two times a week. He made a good chicken \u003cem>satsivi\u003c/em> with walnut sauce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>I've heard Georgians have a culinary tradition of holding feasts. Can you tell me what they are like?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Georgian people are famous for their hospitality. Feasts are very important. You can have 100 people at a feast, which may go on all night. You always have a toastmaster, called a \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tamada\">Tamada\u003c/a> who is in charge, a strong guy who can really drink. He uses a horn decorated with silver to make many toasts with red wine. He could make 50 toasts to parents, elders and guests. See, with the horn shape, he has to finish every drink because he can’t put it down on table. Toasts are even made to ideas like life, love, friendship. Each person around the table expresses their personal understanding of these abstract concepts. The feast and toasts go on all day, while new platters of food are brought. It continues the next day with what we call hangover soup, \u003cem>khashi\u003c/em> -- that’s made from the cows’ stomach and legs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>You just got selected to be one of the five businesses at the former Red Vic Movie House on Haight Street. Are you excited?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second happiest day of my life was when I found out I was accepted for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tablehopper.com/chatterbox/as-previous-reportedhttpwwwtablehoppercomchatterboxthe-plans-for-the-red-vic-on-tablehopper/\">Second Act Marketplace\u003c/a> which will be part of the former Red Vic Movie House. It's set to open in March of 2013. I’ll have a small stand to make Georgian pastries. This really means a lot. My dream is to open a café so I can grow the finances to bring my parents here from Georgia. My café would be the first in San Francisco to serve authentic Georgian cuisine. There’s a Russian restaurant here that says they serve Georgian food. I tried it, but it wasn’t the real Georgian food. You don’t know it unless you lived in Georgia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>At the SF Street Food Festival look for Lali between 20th and 21st streets.

But instead of jittery office workers gulping their lattes, I see an incongruous cultural scene for a downtown java joint. Flanking the gleaming espresso bar, a raised platform is strewn with long grasses and bright yellow flowers, set with baskets, carved wooden boxes and trays of tiny white cups. Just like the mothers and grandmothers of many generations have done before her, a lovely Ethiopian woman in an embroidered dress stirs a pan of coffee beans over a blue flame, while aromatic curls of incense waft across the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the last day of the \u003ca href=\"http://sfchefsfoodwine.com/\">SF Chefs Festival\u003c/a>, 30 attendees (and almost as many photographers) squeeze into \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/espressamente-iily-san-francisco\">Espressamente Illy \u003c/a>to enjoy a rarely seen ritual that is still practiced in most Ethiopian households, the traditional Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony, hosted by Chef Marcus Samuelsson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few weeks ago, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/07/18/just-say-yes-to-marcus-samuelsson%E2%80%99s-memoir-yes-chef/\">Samuelsson was in town\u003c/a> promoting his new autobiography, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385342608/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=marcusamue-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0385342608\">Yes Chef\u003c/a>, and now he returns in one of his \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/business/marcus-samuelsson-both-a-chef-and-a-brand.html?_r=1&hpw\">many other roles\u003c/a>, as an ambassador for Illy’s new line of single origin coffees, including one from Ethiopia. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/marcus-and-fetlework.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/marcus-and-fetlework.jpg\" alt=\"marcus and fetlework\" title=\"marcus and fetlework\" width=\"560\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46717\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fetlework Tefferi and Marcus Samuelsson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ethiopian-born Samuelsson, who grew up in a loving adoptive family in Sweden after becoming an orphan at an early age, returned to Ethiopia only twelve years ago. He is an enthusiastic supporter of authentic ethnic culture for its “tradition, value and meaning.” Samuelsson adds, \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The way to understand a culture is to know what they eat and drink. I didn’t know very much about the Ethiopian coffee ritual when I visited Ethiopia, but now I want to introduce a friend who knows everything.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/coffee-Collage.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/coffee-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"coffee Collage\" title=\"coffee Collage\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46716\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Roasting, grinding and brewing coffee, the Ethiopian way\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Fetlework Tefferi of Oakland’s award-winning \u003ca href=\"http://www.cafecolucci.com/\">Café Colucci\u003c/a> takes a bowl with lighted incense and gently waves it among the gathered visitors while a group of women from the East Bay Ethiopian community who work with Tefferi begin to roast the green coffee beans. Two ways of roasting the beans are demonstrated: stirring them on a flat bottomed pan or shaking them in a shallow pan until they sweat and turn a shiny dark brown, being careful not to let them burn. The hot roasted beans are poured onto a flat basket to cool and then passed around so the crowd can appreciate their deep, rich aroma. The next step in the ritual, as narrated by Tefferi, is grinding the cooled beans by hand with a wooden mortar and pestle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/jebena.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/jebena.jpg\" alt=\"jebena\" title=\"jebena\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46718\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Traditional Ethiopian clay jebena coffee pot\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ground coffee is then boiled with water in a special long–necked, handmade, black clay pot, called a \u003cem>jebena\u003c/em>, which Samuelsson remembers seeing sold by artisans in markets on his trips to Ethiopia. When the brew is judged to be ready (which may necessitate some back and forth decanting from the jebena into another vessel), the finished coffee is poured from the jebena held high above a tray of cups, which are then passed around the crowd. Samuelsson advises that this coffee is best drunk black, the better to notice the hints of lavender, citrus and blueberry. As one who usually takes my mug with plenty of milk and sugar, I am delightfully surprised at the smooth, velvety brew. Tefferi adds that in Ethiopia some people may add salt or spiced butter to their coffee. Snacks, such as roasted barley, peanuts, or popcorn are typically eaten with the coffee and a basket of barley and seeds is also passed around the room. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/08/07/traditional-ethiopian-coffee-ceremony-brewed-up-by-chef-marcus-samuelsson-and-cafe-colucci/food-collage/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-46719\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/food-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"food Collage\" title=\"food Collage\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46719\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Rolls of injera, doro wot with eggs, buffet of azifa and buticha, baklava\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After our coffee and roasted barley, Tefferi introduces us to the waiting Ethiopian brunch specialties from her Oakland restaurant and its sister spice store \u003ca href=\"https://brundo.com/\">Brundo\u003c/a> that line the buffet: \u003cem>inkulal\u003c/em> \u003cem>firfir\u003c/em> (scrambled eggs with jalapenos and clarified butter), \u003cem>doro wot fitfit\u003c/em>, chicken simmered in such a fiery berbere sauce that she cautions diners to be careful, homemade cheese, \u003cem>azifa\u003c/em> (lavender hued soft cooked lentils with garlic, onions, lemon) and a pale yellow dish called \u003cem>buticha\u003c/em>. “Americans tell me they dream about buticha,\" says Tefferi.\"People swear there's cream in it, but it's actually vegan and really seems to resonate with the America palate.\" I try the buticha and Tefferi is absolutely right. It's a creamy cloud of chickpea flour, olive oil, garlic and onions and a hint of jalapeno, the texture of soft-cooked scrambled eggs. Sweets include traditional dates and baklava-like pastries with pistachios or lavender. As a final touch, glasses of glowing-orange honey wine are handed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ethiopian food is traditionally \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/02/22/eat-with-your-hands-for-a-sensuous-intimate-mindful-meal/\">eaten by hand\u003c/a>, served with rolls of injera (a crepe-like bread with which to pick up the meats and vegetables). Although forks are also provided for novice diners, Chef Samuelsson eats his doro wot appropriately by hand, making small bites in ripped off bits of injera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To complete the hospitality, Ethiopian music fills the room and the women demonstrate a style of dancing where they shake their shoulders with the music. “I’ve been in Sweden too long,” quips Samuelsson, trying to keep up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As things begin to wrap up, I look at my watch and see that it's only 11am, even though the event was billed to last until noon. Somehow the coffee ceremony seems to have sped by. So I ask Hiwot Tadesse, the woman who roasted the beans on the platorm, to explain a little more about how the ritual works in her native Ethiopia. \"Is this something that happens only after dinner?\" I ask. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She smiles and shakes her head. “Coffee happens two or three times a day, morning, noon and night. People leave their doors open and when someone starts to make coffee, the aroma circulates, effectively acting like an invitation for neighbors to drop over,” she explains. Ironically -- given our speeded up version -- the point of the Ethiopian coffee roasting ceremony is to slow down and take time to chat with friends and family about everything from politics to gossip. The entire ritual, I learn, may take a couple of hours from lighting incense, washing and drying the green coffee beans, roasting them in a special pan, passing them around to enjoy the aroma, grinding them, boiling them with water, then checking the brew by pouring out the liquid and pouring it back for more brewing. The full ceremony consists of serving three rounds of coffee, which each have a distinct name. The third cup is called \u003cem>baraka\u003c/em>, which means blessing. Traditionally in Ethiopia, it is only women who make the coffee and part of the ritual is to praise their coffee making ability. Women in Ethiopian households invite family and neighbors for coffee, calling out “\u003cem>Buna Derswal\u003c/em>!” (The Coffee is ready).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the next time I dash in to grab a quick latte, I hope the sweet memories of this measured Ethiopian Coffee ritual will give me pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/coffee-platform.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/coffee-platform.jpg\" alt=\"coffee platform\" title=\"coffee platform\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46832\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Flanking the gleaming espresso bar, a raised platform is strewn with long grasses and bright yellow flowers, set with baskets, carved wooden boxes and trays of tiny white cups. Just like the mothers and grandmothers of many generations have done before her, a lovely Ethiopian woman in an embroidered dress stirs a pan of coffee beans over a blue flame, while aromatic curls of incense waft across the room.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the last day of the \u003ca href=\"http://sfchefsfoodwine.com/\">SF Chefs Festival\u003c/a>, 30 attendees (and almost as many photographers) squeeze into \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/espressamente-iily-san-francisco\">Espressamente Illy \u003c/a>to enjoy a rarely seen ritual that is still practiced in most Ethiopian households, the traditional Ethiopian Coffee Ceremony, hosted by Chef Marcus Samuelsson. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few weeks ago, \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/07/18/just-say-yes-to-marcus-samuelsson%E2%80%99s-memoir-yes-chef/\">Samuelsson was in town\u003c/a> promoting his new autobiography, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0385342608/ref=as_li_qf_sp_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=marcusamue-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=0385342608\">Yes Chef\u003c/a>, and now he returns in one of his \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/05/business/marcus-samuelsson-both-a-chef-and-a-brand.html?_r=1&hpw\">many other roles\u003c/a>, as an ambassador for Illy’s new line of single origin coffees, including one from Ethiopia. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/marcus-and-fetlework.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/marcus-and-fetlework.jpg\" alt=\"marcus and fetlework\" title=\"marcus and fetlework\" width=\"560\" height=\"450\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46717\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Fetlework Tefferi and Marcus Samuelsson\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He is an enthusiastic supporter of authentic ethnic culture for its “tradition, value and meaning.” Samuelsson adds, \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"The way to understand a culture is to know what they eat and drink. I didn’t know very much about the Ethiopian coffee ritual when I visited Ethiopia, but now I want to introduce a friend who knows everything.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/coffee-Collage.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/coffee-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"coffee Collage\" title=\"coffee Collage\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46716\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Roasting, grinding and brewing coffee, the Ethiopian way\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Fetlework Tefferi of Oakland’s award-winning \u003ca href=\"http://www.cafecolucci.com/\">Café Colucci\u003c/a> takes a bowl with lighted incense and gently waves it among the gathered visitors while a group of women from the East Bay Ethiopian community who work with Tefferi begin to roast the green coffee beans. Two ways of roasting the beans are demonstrated: stirring them on a flat bottomed pan or shaking them in a shallow pan until they sweat and turn a shiny dark brown, being careful not to let them burn. The hot roasted beans are poured onto a flat basket to cool and then passed around so the crowd can appreciate their deep, rich aroma. The next step in the ritual, as narrated by Tefferi, is grinding the cooled beans by hand with a wooden mortar and pestle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/jebena.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/jebena.jpg\" alt=\"jebena\" title=\"jebena\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46718\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Traditional Ethiopian clay jebena coffee pot\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ground coffee is then boiled with water in a special long–necked, handmade, black clay pot, called a \u003cem>jebena\u003c/em>, which Samuelsson remembers seeing sold by artisans in markets on his trips to Ethiopia. When the brew is judged to be ready (which may necessitate some back and forth decanting from the jebena into another vessel), the finished coffee is poured from the jebena held high above a tray of cups, which are then passed around the crowd. Samuelsson advises that this coffee is best drunk black, the better to notice the hints of lavender, citrus and blueberry. As one who usually takes my mug with plenty of milk and sugar, I am delightfully surprised at the smooth, velvety brew. Tefferi adds that in Ethiopia some people may add salt or spiced butter to their coffee. Snacks, such as roasted barley, peanuts, or popcorn are typically eaten with the coffee and a basket of barley and seeds is also passed around the room. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/08/07/traditional-ethiopian-coffee-ceremony-brewed-up-by-chef-marcus-samuelsson-and-cafe-colucci/food-collage/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-46719\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/08/food-Collage.jpg\" alt=\"food Collage\" title=\"food Collage\" width=\"560\" height=\"560\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-46719\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Rolls of injera, doro wot with eggs, buffet of azifa and buticha, baklava\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After our coffee and roasted barley, Tefferi introduces us to the waiting Ethiopian brunch specialties from her Oakland restaurant and its sister spice store \u003ca href=\"https://brundo.com/\">Brundo\u003c/a> that line the buffet: \u003cem>inkulal\u003c/em> \u003cem>firfir\u003c/em> (scrambled eggs with jalapenos and clarified butter), \u003cem>doro wot fitfit\u003c/em>, chicken simmered in such a fiery berbere sauce that she cautions diners to be careful, homemade cheese, \u003cem>azifa\u003c/em> (lavender hued soft cooked lentils with garlic, onions, lemon) and a pale yellow dish called \u003cem>buticha\u003c/em>. “Americans tell me they dream about buticha,\" says Tefferi.\"People swear there's cream in it, but it's actually vegan and really seems to resonate with the America palate.\" I try the buticha and Tefferi is absolutely right. It's a creamy cloud of chickpea flour, olive oil, garlic and onions and a hint of jalapeno, the texture of soft-cooked scrambled eggs. Sweets include traditional dates and baklava-like pastries with pistachios or lavender. As a final touch, glasses of glowing-orange honey wine are handed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ethiopian food is traditionally \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/02/22/eat-with-your-hands-for-a-sensuous-intimate-mindful-meal/\">eaten by hand\u003c/a>, served with rolls of injera (a crepe-like bread with which to pick up the meats and vegetables). Although forks are also provided for novice diners, Chef Samuelsson eats his doro wot appropriately by hand, making small bites in ripped off bits of injera.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To complete the hospitality, Ethiopian music fills the room and the women demonstrate a style of dancing where they shake their shoulders with the music. “I’ve been in Sweden too long,” quips Samuelsson, trying to keep up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As things begin to wrap up, I look at my watch and see that it's only 11am, even though the event was billed to last until noon. Somehow the coffee ceremony seems to have sped by. So I ask Hiwot Tadesse, the woman who roasted the beans on the platorm, to explain a little more about how the ritual works in her native Ethiopia. \"Is this something that happens only after dinner?\" I ask. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She smiles and shakes her head. “Coffee happens two or three times a day, morning, noon and night. People leave their doors open and when someone starts to make coffee, the aroma circulates, effectively acting like an invitation for neighbors to drop over,” she explains. Ironically -- given our speeded up version -- the point of the Ethiopian coffee roasting ceremony is to slow down and take time to chat with friends and family about everything from politics to gossip. The entire ritual, I learn, may take a couple of hours from lighting incense, washing and drying the green coffee beans, roasting them in a special pan, passing them around to enjoy the aroma, grinding them, boiling them with water, then checking the brew by pouring out the liquid and pouring it back for more brewing. The full ceremony consists of serving three rounds of coffee, which each have a distinct name. The third cup is called \u003cem>baraka\u003c/em>, which means blessing. Traditionally in Ethiopia, it is only women who make the coffee and part of the ritual is to praise their coffee making ability. Women in Ethiopian households invite family and neighbors for coffee, calling out “\u003cem>Buna Derswal\u003c/em>!” (The Coffee is ready).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the next time I dash in to grab a quick latte, I hope the sweet memories of this measured Ethiopian Coffee ritual will give me pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

As the chef of New York City's popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.fattycrew.com\">Fatty Crab and Fatty 'Cue\u003c/a> restaurants, Pelaccio cooks big, full-flavored, turn-up-the-heat dishes, inspired in equal part by his Italian-American heritage and the spicy-sweet, irresistible cooking of Southeast Asia and beyond. (His beef rendang is still on my short list of Best Things I Have Ever Eaten--and happily, the recipe's in the book.) He's a fearless eater and an excitable cook who loves pig's ears, pig jowls, fresh sardine omelets, lardo, tuna belly, rabbit, goat, basically anything with a bone worth gnawing. About Whole Smoked Pig (The Guy), he writes, \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A whole animal means a party. An animal of this size means a serious party involving serious excess. Divest yourself of inhibition. Have a real good time. Toward that end, serve the pig with some salty Oil-Cured Chiles, Pineapple Red Curry, Chile Sauce, or hell, anything you want. I can't think of one condiment from the condiment chapter that would suck with this. Some boiled and grilled fingerling potatoes and maybe corn too if it's a summer party. As with most of my cooking, nothing is precisely the same each time I make it, but the marinade here is almost always what I use when I smoke up those fatties.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>He then goes on to give a list of the \"bare necessities\" for the 24-hour cooking adventure, including \"2 cases of beer on ice, cans, not bottles; a couple joints; 2 bottles bourbon; plastic cups; iPod and portable docking station, fully charged; batteries for everything; head lamps; 4 folding chairs; a foldable tarp in case of rain; 40 pieces of hardwood; and 3 friends who like to stay up all night,\" plus, of course, the pig, which gets massaged all over with a killer cilantro/ginger/garlic/lime/coconut/chile marinade. In other words, awesome cooking for Bro Dad, courtesy of a really fun guy who knows his stuff and gives music and booze recommendations for every dish.

Nobody gives Dad an ugly tie and an Old Spice gift pack anymore, do they? Not in these days of Hip Dad, Dual Dads, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1554981093/kqedorg-20\">Tattooed Dad\u003c/a>, Home-Brewing Dad, and kale-buying, sling-wearing Temescal Farmers' Market Dad. So, what do all these Dads really want, besides an uninterrupted nap on the couch? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bacon, of course! Even Microwave Dad can make bacon (in the microwave, natch). There's no shortage of the good stuff to fry up for Sunday's family breakfast in Dad's honor. You can get a pastured pork belly and a smoker (or smoker attachment for the grill) and encourage Urban Homestead Dad to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/10/09/makin-bacon-at-the-headlands/\">make his own\u003c/a> (hey, it only takes a week to cure and a few hours to smoke) or load up at the \u003ca href=\"http://fattedcalf.com/\">Fatted Calf\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://prmeatco.com/our-meats/products/\">Prather Ranch\u003c/a>, two of our best local sources. Sadly, the rest of this year's whole-hog butchery classes are sold out at Fatted Calf, but there's still room in some of fall's terrines and pates, duck, and offal classes. There are monthly butchery classes at \u003ca href=\"http://www.avedanos.com\">Avedano's Holly Park Meat Market\u003c/a> in Bernal Heights, including curing, cutting and carving, sausage making, and basic and advanced butchery. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And what goes with all that meaty goodness like a nice cold brew? Especially one that Dad's brewed himself. \u003ca href=\"http://www.sanfranciscobrewcraft.com/\">San Francisco Brewcraft\u003c/a> has nifty home-brewing kits and free intro classes every Monday night. You could also sign Dad up for a hands-on classes at \u003ca href=\"http://www.workshopsf.org\">Workshop\u003c/a> in San Francisco. Choose from \u003ca href=\"http://www.workshopsf.org/?page_id=140&id=1141\">DIY Mixology: Limoncello, Atholl Brose, and Absinthe\u003c/a> on June 27, or \u003ca href=\"http://www.workshopsf.org/?page_id=140&id=1110&date=2012-06-30\">Beer Making at Home\u003c/a> on June 30.

Given the highly scientific, super-professional focus of the 2,438-page original, I'd think this title was an oxymoron, if I didn't know a whole lot of tech-dude home cooks who already own the collected works of Achatz, Adria, Blumenthal, and Keller, and hang out at \u003ca href=\"http://www.le-sanctuaire.com\">Le Sanctuaire\u003c/a> like they used to at Amoeba Records. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These are gadget guys, and what they want to geek out about are knives--French, Japanese, or custom-made by a \u003ca href=\"http://kramerknives.com/\">guy in Seattle\u003c/a> with a 10-year waiting list. A good place for Heavy Metal Dad to talk shop is \u003ca href=\"http://www.bernalcutlery.com\">Bernal Cutlery\u003c/a>, which offers both Western and Japanese knives, plus knife skills and sharpening classes. \u003ca href=\"http://www.hidatool.com\">Hida Tool\u003c/a> in Berkeley specializes in Japanese knives but also carries an assortment of small, useful, high-quality kitchen tools, including a perfect peeler and sturdy fish-bone tweezers. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0061554200/kqedorg-20\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/eat-with-your-hands300.jpg\" alt=\"Eat with Your Hands\" title=\"Eat with Your Hands\" width=\"300\" height=\"378\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44599\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But what if Dad's more of a party guy? Try Zakary Pelaccio's messy, exuberant, salty-talking \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0061554200/kqedorg-20\">Eat with Your Hands\u003c/a>. As the chef of New York City's popular \u003ca href=\"http://www.fattycrew.com\">Fatty Crab and Fatty 'Cue\u003c/a> restaurants, Pelaccio cooks big, full-flavored, turn-up-the-heat dishes, inspired in equal part by his Italian-American heritage and the spicy-sweet, irresistible cooking of Southeast Asia and beyond. (His beef rendang is still on my short list of Best Things I Have Ever Eaten--and happily, the recipe's in the book.) He's a fearless eater and an excitable cook who loves pig's ears, pig jowls, fresh sardine omelets, lardo, tuna belly, rabbit, goat, basically anything with a bone worth gnawing. About Whole Smoked Pig (The Guy), he writes, \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>A whole animal means a party. An animal of this size means a serious party involving serious excess. Divest yourself of inhibition. Have a real good time. Toward that end, serve the pig with some salty Oil-Cured Chiles, Pineapple Red Curry, Chile Sauce, or hell, anything you want. I can't think of one condiment from the condiment chapter that would suck with this. Some boiled and grilled fingerling potatoes and maybe corn too if it's a summer party. As with most of my cooking, nothing is precisely the same each time I make it, but the marinade here is almost always what I use when I smoke up those fatties.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>He then goes on to give a list of the \"bare necessities\" for the 24-hour cooking adventure, including \"2 cases of beer on ice, cans, not bottles; a couple joints; 2 bottles bourbon; plastic cups; iPod and portable docking station, fully charged; batteries for everything; head lamps; 4 folding chairs; a foldable tarp in case of rain; 40 pieces of hardwood; and 3 friends who like to stay up all night,\" plus, of course, the pig, which gets massaged all over with a killer cilantro/ginger/garlic/lime/coconut/chile marinade. In other words, awesome cooking for Bro Dad, courtesy of a really fun guy who knows his stuff and gives music and booze recommendations for every dish. One trip to \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/06/04/immerse-yourself-in-asian-flavors-at-richmond%E2%80%99s-pacific-east-mall/\">Pacific East Mall\u003c/a> should stock Dad's pantry sufficiently. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1936365154/kqedorg-20\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/06/mission-street-food300.jpg\" alt=\"Mission Street Food\" title=\"Mission Street Food\" width=\"300\" height=\"380\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-44601\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still searching?

From the romantically-lit and intimate to the no-pressure fun and casual spots, we've rounded up the best places in three counties to dine with someone you're just getting to know. Read on...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://laciccia.com/\">1) La Ciccia\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Noe Valley)\u003cbr>\nNot since \u003ca href=\"http://www.a16sf.com/\">A16\u003c/a> has an Italian restaurant, focused on a single region, captured the hearts of so many diners. Cozy and intimate, this Noe Valley eatery is where to go when you want to up the romance ante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focusing entirely on his native cuisine from Sardegna, chef Massimiliano Conti sticks to his roots with a rustic, seafood-focused menu and an impressive wine list that showcases the region’s interesting offerings like Cannonau and Vermentino. The octopus stew is a staple for many diners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://statebirdsf.com/\">2) State Bird Provisions\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Lower Fillmore)\u003cbr>\nIf your date is into the Bay Area food scene go to State Bird Provisions, one of the coolest new spots where you are likely to see San Francisco chefs dining. What started off as a way for chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, formerly of Rubicon, to deep-fry quail (California’s state bird) has developed into one of San Francisco’s most innovative menus. Some dishes are served Dim Sum style, others can be ordered, everything arrives at the whim of the kitchen, and it’s all delicious. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/\">3) The Ferry Building\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Embarcadero)\u003cbr>\nIt seems nearly impossible to have a boring date at a marketplace that offers so much. Try \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/hog_island_oyster_company.php\">Hog Island Oyster Company\u003c/a> for a super social happy hour Monday through Thursday, or meet up on a Saturday morning for celebrity-chef-spotting at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/farmers_market.php\">farmers’ market\u003c/a>. Grab a meat cone or a satisfying sandwich from \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/boccalone_shop_page.php\">Boccalone\u003c/a> or a loaf of bread from \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/acme_bread_company.php\">Acme\u003c/a> and a wheel of Red Hawk from \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/cowgirl_creamery.php\">Cowgirl Creamery\u003c/a> to make your own, then head to the dock to watch the boats pass by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.brazenheadsf.com/\">4) Brazen Head\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Marina)\u003cbr>\nOne of San Francisco's best late-night restaurants has flown under the radar since it opened in 1980. Belly up to the bar for a classic gin martini from a charming curmudgeon of a bartender and enjoy it with a plate of oysters and a spot-on French onion gratinee soup. A petite filet, some shrimp scampi, and the flattering dim light of the tiny dining room add up to romance galore. The best part? They serve dinner until 1am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://barbocce.com/\">5) Bar Bocce\u003c/a>, Sausalito\u003cbr>\nThe newest addition to Sausalito’s tourist-friendly and locally-beloved food and wine scene is an idyllic spot for a first date. Watch the sun set over the harbor from any of the outdoor couches or tables surrounding the fire pit, or ignore the natural beauty in favor of athletics as you toss a bocce ball forward and a glass of wine back. Though the food is secondary to the setting and the innovative wine-cocktail list, Bar Bocce is absolutely worth a visit for a first date--even if it's just with a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sorellacaffe.com/\">6) Sorella Caffe\u003c/a>, Fairfax\u003cbr>\nClassically Fairfaxian-casual, Sorella Caffe has a skilled, low-key staff and solid Italian food with flair. Special touches like a live piano player, a round windowed dining room and a fireplace that makes diners feel as though they're enjoying their gorgonzola ravioli in a toasty, warm yurt. Sorella is a comfortable spot to get to know someone while enjoying a little whimsy-- a giant communal wheel of Parmesan cheese arrives as the menus do and diners are presented with a bowlful of gummy bears to dig through while perusing the dessert menu.\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.restaurantpicco.com/\">7) Picco\u003c/a>, Larkspur\u003cbr>\nLet's face it--you can't go wrong taking a date to ANY of \u003ca href=\"http://www.restaurantpicco.com/docs/picco_presskit.pdf\">Bruce Hill's\u003c/a> restaurants. \u003ca href=\"http://www.bixrestaurant.com/\">Bix\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.zerozerosf.com/\">Zero Zero\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pizzeriapicco.com/\">Pizzeria Picco\u003c/a> are all excellent establishments on their own merits, but there's something about Picco that is so cozy and inviting that it's hard to imagine any first date that takes place here not being a success. After a dinner of Hill's made-to-order risotto of the day, paired with one of the restaurant's signature cocktails, take a stroll through downtown Larkspur to enjoy the fresh Marin air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.underwoodgraton.com/\">8) Underwood\u003c/a>, Graton\u003cbr>\nSure, it's a drive from just about anywhere in Sonoma, Marin, or San Francisco Counties--unless you happen to be one of the 1900 people who live in Graton--but the Underwood Bar and Bistro is worth a trek of any distance to eat chef Matthew Greenbaum's food while sitting quietly amongst the wine country movers-and-shakers who come to their hometown restaurant for a little slice of sophistication. Sharing several small plates of tapas and some innovative cocktails like a \u003ca href=\"http://www.underwoodgraton.com/cocktail.pdf\">French Martini\u003c/a> is a great way to break the ice. And hey, if the date goes REALLY well, you can breakfast at Greenbaum's \u003ca href=\"http://willowwoodgraton.com/\">Willow Wood\u003c/a> across the street...the next morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scopahealdsburg.com/\">9) Scopa\u003c/a>, Healdsburg\u003cbr>\nIn a town where antiques and San Francisco Marina-district overflow comprise more of the population during the summertime than native Healdsburgers do, Scopa is a bastion of good, homey food with a hip atmosphere that caters to tourists and locals alike. Scopa is right on the town's central square, and a stroll around the grassy park and a little window-shopping while you wait for your table sets the tone for a casual yet intimate evening. Don't miss Nonna's chicken, a recipe handed down from NorCal local chef Ari Rosen's grandmother. A perfect mix of local and carefully-selected Italian wines are de rigeur. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.diavolapizzeria.com/\">10) Diavola\u003c/a>, Geyserville\u003cbr>\nThe more casual \"little brother\" of the former \u003ca href=\"http://pantry.blogs.pressdemocrat.com/11795/r-i-p-santi/\">Santi\u003c/a> (R.I.P.), Geyserville's Diavola focuses on turning basic local ingredients into the most delicious pizza, pasta, and housemade salumi and sausages. In addition to a 'dine-at-the table' date, Diavola offers a plethora of options for a picnic date. Grab some homemade pickles and pate from the take-out case, and enjoy your meal outdoors with a bottle of local wine at any of the dozens of wineries within a 10-mile radius.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Read on...\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://laciccia.com/\">1) La Ciccia\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Noe Valley)\u003cbr>\nNot since \u003ca href=\"http://www.a16sf.com/\">A16\u003c/a> has an Italian restaurant, focused on a single region, captured the hearts of so many diners. Cozy and intimate, this Noe Valley eatery is where to go when you want to up the romance ante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Focusing entirely on his native cuisine from Sardegna, chef Massimiliano Conti sticks to his roots with a rustic, seafood-focused menu and an impressive wine list that showcases the region’s interesting offerings like Cannonau and Vermentino. The octopus stew is a staple for many diners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://statebirdsf.com/\">2) State Bird Provisions\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Lower Fillmore)\u003cbr>\nIf your date is into the Bay Area food scene go to State Bird Provisions, one of the coolest new spots where you are likely to see San Francisco chefs dining. What started off as a way for chefs Stuart Brioza and Nicole Krasinski, formerly of Rubicon, to deep-fry quail (California’s state bird) has developed into one of San Francisco’s most innovative menus. Some dishes are served Dim Sum style, others can be ordered, everything arrives at the whim of the kitchen, and it’s all delicious. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Try \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/hog_island_oyster_company.php\">Hog Island Oyster Company\u003c/a> for a super social happy hour Monday through Thursday, or meet up on a Saturday morning for celebrity-chef-spotting at the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/farmers_market.php\">farmers’ market\u003c/a>. Grab a meat cone or a satisfying sandwich from \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/boccalone_shop_page.php\">Boccalone\u003c/a> or a loaf of bread from \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/acme_bread_company.php\">Acme\u003c/a> and a wheel of Red Hawk from \u003ca href=\"http://www.ferrybuildingmarketplace.com/cowgirl_creamery.php\">Cowgirl Creamery\u003c/a> to make your own, then head to the dock to watch the boats pass by.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.brazenheadsf.com/\">4) Brazen Head\u003c/a>, San Francisco (Marina)\u003cbr>\nOne of San Francisco's best late-night restaurants has flown under the radar since it opened in 1980. Belly up to the bar for a classic gin martini from a charming curmudgeon of a bartender and enjoy it with a plate of oysters and a spot-on French onion gratinee soup. A petite filet, some shrimp scampi, and the flattering dim light of the tiny dining room add up to romance galore. The best part? They serve dinner until 1am.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://barbocce.com/\">5) Bar Bocce\u003c/a>, Sausalito\u003cbr>\nThe newest addition to Sausalito’s tourist-friendly and locally-beloved food and wine scene is an idyllic spot for a first date. Watch the sun set over the harbor from any of the outdoor couches or tables surrounding the fire pit, or ignore the natural beauty in favor of athletics as you toss a bocce ball forward and a glass of wine back. Though the food is secondary to the setting and the innovative wine-cocktail list, Bar Bocce is absolutely worth a visit for a first date--even if it's just with a friend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sorellacaffe.com/\">6) Sorella Caffe\u003c/a>, Fairfax\u003cbr>\nClassically Fairfaxian-casual, Sorella Caffe has a skilled, low-key staff and solid Italian food with flair. Special touches like a live piano player, a round windowed dining room and a fireplace that makes diners feel as though they're enjoying their gorgonzola ravioli in a toasty, warm yurt. Sorella is a comfortable spot to get to know someone while enjoying a little whimsy-- a giant communal wheel of Parmesan cheese arrives as the menus do and diners are presented with a bowlful of gummy bears to dig through while perusing the dessert menu.\u003cbr clear=\"all\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.restaurantpicco.com/\">7) Picco\u003c/a>, Larkspur\u003cbr>\nLet's face it--you can't go wrong taking a date to ANY of \u003ca href=\"http://www.restaurantpicco.com/docs/picco_presskit.pdf\">Bruce Hill's\u003c/a> restaurants. \u003ca href=\"http://www.bixrestaurant.com/\">Bix\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.zerozerosf.com/\">Zero Zero\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pizzeriapicco.com/\">Pizzeria Picco\u003c/a> are all excellent establishments on their own merits, but there's something about Picco that is so cozy and inviting that it's hard to imagine any first date that takes place here not being a success. After a dinner of Hill's made-to-order risotto of the day, paired with one of the restaurant's signature cocktails, take a stroll through downtown Larkspur to enjoy the fresh Marin air.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.underwoodgraton.com/\">8) Underwood\u003c/a>, Graton\u003cbr>\nSure, it's a drive from just about anywhere in Sonoma, Marin, or San Francisco Counties--unless you happen to be one of the 1900 people who live in Graton--but the Underwood Bar and Bistro is worth a trek of any distance to eat chef Matthew Greenbaum's food while sitting quietly amongst the wine country movers-and-shakers who come to their hometown restaurant for a little slice of sophistication. Sharing several small plates of tapas and some innovative cocktails like a \u003ca href=\"http://www.underwoodgraton.com/cocktail.pdf\">French Martini\u003c/a> is a great way to break the ice. And hey, if the date goes REALLY well, you can breakfast at Greenbaum's \u003ca href=\"http://willowwoodgraton.com/\">Willow Wood\u003c/a> across the street...the next morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.scopahealdsburg.com/\">9) Scopa\u003c/a>, Healdsburg\u003cbr>\nIn a town where antiques and San Francisco Marina-district overflow comprise more of the population during the summertime than native Healdsburgers do, Scopa is a bastion of good, homey food with a hip atmosphere that caters to tourists and locals alike. Scopa is right on the town's central square, and a stroll around the grassy park and a little window-shopping while you wait for your table sets the tone for a casual yet intimate evening. Don't miss Nonna's chicken, a recipe handed down from NorCal local chef Ari Rosen's grandmother. A perfect mix of local and carefully-selected Italian wines are de rigeur. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.diavolapizzeria.com/\">10) Diavola\u003c/a>, Geyserville\u003cbr>\nThe more casual \"little brother\" of the former \u003ca href=\"http://pantry.blogs.pressdemocrat.com/11795/r-i-p-santi/\">Santi\u003c/a> (R.I.P.), Geyserville's Diavola focuses on turning basic local ingredients into the most delicious pizza, pasta, and housemade salumi and sausages. In addition to a 'dine-at-the table' date, Diavola offers a plethora of options for a picnic date. Grab some homemade pickles and pate from the take-out case, and enjoy your meal outdoors with a bottle of local wine at any of the dozens of wineries within a 10-mile radius.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Most importantly, it celebrates the giving of the holy books, or Torah, to the Jewish people on Mount Sinai, which is commemorated with all-night study sessions of Torah. But it's also a spring festival, celebrating the harvest of the season's first fruits, which were taken by farmers in joyous procession to the Temple as a tithe or offering. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/fruit-salad300.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/05/fruit-salad300.jpg\" alt=\"First Fruits Salad.

Adjust the proportions to your taste, then drizzle the pomegranate dressing over the salad and toss to coat. The idea is to add a little flavor and tanginess; the fruits shouldn't be heavily coated.

It's different with vegetables; the first pick of spring's tender young fava beans, English peas, asparagus, and new potatoes may well be the best. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But fruit needs a little time to bask in the newly warm sunshine and longer days, and right now, strawberries have finally come into their own, ripe and red and lovely, ready to perfume the table and delight moms everywhere. They are versatile and delicious every way, although you can't beat breakfast in bed highlighted with a simple bowl of strawberries and cream. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First, though, you need to pick your berries right. If your mom taught you lots of great stuff but not this, well, here's what you need to know. Having harvested strawberries every day for months during my time at the UCSC's Farm and Garden program, I learned a few protocols beyond the obvious one of red=ripe. There are gradations of red, for starters. Orange-red, pinky red: these aren't the reds you are looking for. A red somewhere between stop-sign and wine: that's what you want. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, no white shoulders. Look around the stem cap; is the berry red all the way up to the top, or is there a tell-tale patch of greenish-white up there? Berries ripen tip first, so they're not fully sweet and ripe until the very top is red, too. The second test is scent; a box of truly ripe berries will pamper your Mom with its sweet, summery perfume. Finally, a truly ripe berry will be red through and through; a white, chalky-looking core means the berry was picked too soon. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Finally, the berries shouldn't have soft, shriveled spots or squishy tips; a mushy spot in the morning is a rotten spot by afternoon. Especially in organic berries, a few peck-holes are OK; we called jabbed specimens \"bird-certified ripe.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Different types of strawberry have different balances of sweetness, tartness, and flavor. Our coastal climate calls for berries that can handle cool nights and foggy days. Seascape, Chandler, and Quinalt are all delicious berries that do well here, in both farms and backyard gardens, but to my taste, Albion, a cultivar introduced by \u003ca href=\"http://www.plantsciences.ucdavis.edu/plantbreeding/main/history.htm\">UC Davis\u003c/a> in 2004, is the champ. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For making this excellent \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/05/02/spring-entertaining-made-easy-two-simple-fruit-salsa-recipes/\">strawberry salsa\u003c/a>, I picked up a great flat of organic berries from Watsonville's \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcfma.com/producers_detail.php?producer_id=402\">Rodriguez Ranch\u003c/a> at the \u003ca href=\"http://cafarmersmkts.com/markets/category/diablo-valley\">Diablo Valley Farmers' Market\u003c/a>. Right now, they've got sensational Albion berries as well as great Seascapes. I'm also fond of the organic berries grown by Swanton Berry Farm, Tomatero Farm, and Yerena Farms. It's worth it to seek out organic berries; conventional strawberry farms are big pesticide consumers, as the recent debate over the \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.kqed.org/ourxperience/2012/02/09/methyl-iodide-the-debate-continues/\">use of methyl iodide\u003c/a> revealed. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you've got your berries, remember that heat and moisture are the enemies of a fresh strawberry. While nothing's better than a freshly picked, sun-warmed berry, if you want to keep your berries for a few days, you need to keep them cool. For best results, lay your berries out in a single layer on a paper towel inside a glass or plastic box. Place another paper towel on top and cover. Held like this, berries should last up to 3 or 4 days. Don't rinse or hull your berries until just before you want to eat or use them. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, you're well stocked with beautiful berries for Mom. Strawberries and cream, a surefire hit. But what if you want to dress up those berries a little, show Mom you've learned a thing or two since your macaroni-necklace days? \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2009/03/05/meyer-lemon-ricotta-pancakes/\">Meyer Lemon Ricotta Pancakes\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/03/10/cottage-cheese-pancakes-for-spring/\">Cottage Cheese Pancakes\u003c/a> would go perfectly with a scatter of cut-up fresh berries. You could impress Mom with a pink-and-green \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/04/04/eggs-for-easter/\">souffle\u003c/a> or this can't-miss \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/12/23/trouble-free-holiday-breakfast-strata/\">breakfast strata\u003c/a>, strawberries on the side. Or you can whip up a plate of her very favorite breakfast just the way she likes it, and serve these lovely muffins in a basket alongside. The real appeal? Baking, they'll make the kitchen smell like heaven in springtime. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The secret ingredient in these early summer morning berries is lavender sugar, made from sugar scented with a handful of lavender blossoms. It's easy to make: just let a handful of fresh, unsprayed lavender blossoms dry out for a few days, then mix them into a jar or canister of sugar (the pale gold, organic kind, by my preference). Close tightly and let the lavender perfume the sugar for a few days before using. You can use a similar technique to make vanilla sugar. Plunging a few split whole vanilla beans into a canister of sugar; after a few days, the sugar will have a subtle but delicious whiff of vanilla (leave the beans in the sugar; the flavor will deepen with time). Or, for a quickie version, split a bean lengthwise and scrape out the seeds with the tip of a knife. Rub the vanilla seeds into 2 cups of sugar; store in a tightly closed container to preserve the flavor. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Strawberry Lavender Muffins\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>If you don't have lavender sugar available, you can substitute vanilla or citrus-flavored sugar in these muffins. For citrus sugar, finely grate the peel of 2 lemons or limes or 1 orange into 2 cups sugar. Mix peel thoroughly into the sugar and store in a tightly closed container. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yield:\u003c/strong> 12 muffins\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Prep Time:\u003c/strong> 10 minutes\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Cook Time: \u003c/strong>18-20 minutes\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Total Time: \u003c/strong>28-30 minutes\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Ingredients\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour or whole-wheat pastry flour, or a combination of the two\u003cbr>\n1/2 cup cornmeal\u003cbr>\n1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed\u003cbr>\n1/4 cup lavender sugar (see note)\u003cbr>\n2 tsp baking powder\u003cbr>\n1/2 tsp baking soda\u003cbr>\n1/4 tsp salt\u003cbr>\n2 eggs\u003cbr>\n1 cup milk\u003cbr>\n5 tbsp butter, melted\u003cbr>\n1 cup chopped strawberries, about 10-12 berries\u003cbr>\n2 tsp lavender sugar\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Preheat oven to 400F.

Also good is finding a few recipes that are simple to throw together, just a little unexpected in their flavor profiles, and appeal to even the pickiest of eaters. I think fruit salsas do the trick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-104.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-104.jpg\" alt=\"cilantro\" title=\"cilantro\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42207\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Washing and Spinning Fresh Cilantro for Salsa\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entertaining means different things to different people. Whether it means having a few buddies over for some beer or planning a more structured dinner party, you get to see people you enjoy and hopefully eat something delicious. In our house lately, this involves good salty tortilla chips and fruity salsas. Typically you'll see tomato-based salsas when you go out to eat, or you've likely seen mango salsas at higher-end grocery stores and Mexican restaurants. While I love pico de gallo and tomato salsas, there's something really special about seasonal fruit salsas. They're bright, fragrant, and add a welcome balance to the more typically savory foods that tomato salsas accompany. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-100.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-100.jpg\" alt=\"strawberries\" title=\"strawberries\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42206\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Market Fresh Strawberries!\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe nice thing about both of these recipes is that the fruit is in season right now. Go and get yourself some strawberries and an ataulfo mango! Because most of the ingredients are the same in each recipe, you can make a mental note when you're at the store to grab some cilantro, a few jalapenos and limes and you're going to be in pretty good shape. This is one of those appetizers you can actually throw together at the last minute if unexpected folks arrive or you run out of time to make something more complicated. There's a bit of chopping involved which I love when I'm having people over because you can put them to work! This obviously saves you time, but I find that people end up gathering in the kitchen anyway, and right when folks arrive at a party it can be nice to have a task to take the pressure off of standing around and making small talk right away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-117.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-117.jpg\" alt=\"fruit salsa\" title=\"Fruit salsa\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42208\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Salsa Duo: Ready to Party.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>May, in particular, is a great month to entertain and make fresh salsa at home.

You can smell the outdoor barbeques and hear neighbors sitting outside with friends. Kids are skating down city streets, and it's light past 6 p.m. All good things. Also good is finding a few recipes that are simple to throw together, just a little unexpected in their flavor profiles, and appeal to even the pickiest of eaters. I think fruit salsas do the trick.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-104.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-104.jpg\" alt=\"cilantro\" title=\"cilantro\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42207\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Washing and Spinning Fresh Cilantro for Salsa\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Entertaining means different things to different people. Whether it means having a few buddies over for some beer or planning a more structured dinner party, you get to see people you enjoy and hopefully eat something delicious. In our house lately, this involves good salty tortilla chips and fruity salsas. Typically you'll see tomato-based salsas when you go out to eat, or you've likely seen mango salsas at higher-end grocery stores and Mexican restaurants. While I love pico de gallo and tomato salsas, there's something really special about seasonal fruit salsas. They're bright, fragrant, and add a welcome balance to the more typically savory foods that tomato salsas accompany. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-100.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-100.jpg\" alt=\"strawberries\" title=\"strawberries\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42206\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Market Fresh Strawberries!\u003cbr>\n\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nThe nice thing about both of these recipes is that the fruit is in season right now. Go and get yourself some strawberries and an ataulfo mango! Because most of the ingredients are the same in each recipe, you can make a mental note when you're at the store to grab some cilantro, a few jalapenos and limes and you're going to be in pretty good shape. This is one of those appetizers you can actually throw together at the last minute if unexpected folks arrive or you run out of time to make something more complicated. There's a bit of chopping involved which I love when I'm having people over because you can put them to work! This obviously saves you time, but I find that people end up gathering in the kitchen anyway, and right when folks arrive at a party it can be nice to have a task to take the pressure off of standing around and making small talk right away. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-117.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/04/20120422_BABFruitSalsa-117.jpg\" alt=\"fruit salsa\" title=\"Fruit salsa\" width=\"560\" height=\"373\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-42208\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Salsa Duo: Ready to Party.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
