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 even went as far as telling her the precise table and seat number at which she sat when she told me about it. I didn't go further-- to tell a lady what she ate last year seemed more than a little impolite.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Roberta asked if I would like to celebrate the launch of the book at the home of its author, there was no way on earth I would have said no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I am almost precisely half-Italian, genetically speaking: Sicilian-stock grandmother, Calabrese-gened grandfather. Both born in America. But it was my grandmother's family who dominated, which is always the way-- recipes and food traditions are typically passed down through the female line.

Love for all of the obvious reasons: most amazing morning bun, fabulous fruit tarts, and decadent chocolate desserts. Anything lemon. Almond croissants to rival Parisian patisseries. Strong coffee. So what's to hate? Weekend crowds and tourists--the fact that it's tough to squeeze in for that morning bun on a Sunday in any kind of sane manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thankfully then, for weekend mornings when you can't muster the energy to elbow your way through the lines, we have the Tartine cookbooks (the first of which is aptly named \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Tartine-Elisabeth-Prueitt/dp/0811851508\">Tartine\u003c/a>). Now I very rarely write to publishers directly asking for a review copy of a book, but I did for Tartine's newest cookbook, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Tartine-Bread-Chad-Robertson/dp/0811870413\">Tartine Bread\u003c/a>. I'd been awaiting its arrival ever since I heard that co-owner and bread master, Chad Robertson, was working on it. Chronicle Books was kind enough to send over a copy, and I stayed up and read it from cover to cover that evening. It's absolutely lovely. It's informative, it's inspiring, it's visually stunning. Chad gives you step-by-step instructions, guiding you (in pedestrian terminology) through the process of making his Basic Country Bread and \u003ca href=\"http://ericwolfinger.com/food/index.html\">Eric Wolfinger\u003c/a> (who used to bake bread at the bakery) walks you through each step with his almost tactile, moving photos. It is as I knew it would be: a very special book. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the get-go, Chad knew that the photos would be a critical part of the book because \"traditional, intuitive bread making does not lend itself naturally to a written recipe.\" In addition to written instructions, someone needed to \u003cem>show \u003c/em>readers how to make the bread--Eric Wolfinger has succeeded ten times over. Of the visual nature of the book, Chad notes, \"Learning a craft is as much about copying as it is about understanding, as much visual as it is intellectual.\" From a quick glance at the cover of the book, you're already in Eric's world and as you flip to the first page, Chad takes your hand. You're now ready to bake bread. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first 87 pages are devoted to a brief history of the bakery, the evolution of making and selling bread, and the detailed recipe for Chad's Basic Country Bread. In broad terms, he notes that \"the goal of making bread with a satisfying depth of flavor, a good crust, and a moist, supple crumb is a constant.\" In more specific terms, the recipe for the Country Bread begins with a natural yeast starter, often called sourdough, although Chad promotes using a \"younger\" leaven which gives the bread much more of a subtle flavor. He explains that the concept dates back to before the 1930's when French bakers would use natural leaven in their baked goods--before the days of commercial yeast. Now if you tend to be one of those bakers who feel yeasted breads are a big enough leap and can't imagine making your own leaven, heed Chad's words: \"The substantial gains in savor, keeping qualities, and versatile uses with the natural leaven justify the time it takes to build and care for one.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And he should know. Chad spent over two decades apprenticing with artisan bakers in France and in the United States, and experimented with his own ovens out in West Marin and in Mill Valley. In 2002, he moved to San Francisco with his wife (and other half at Tartine Bakery), Elizabeth Pruitt, to create the legend that is now Tartine Bakery. The rest is history. And readers get a glimpse into that history with each page of Tartine Bread. After Chad's basic bread recipe, the book branches off into interesting variations (olive bread, walnut bread, pizzas). And the last half delves into other recipes mainly using day-old breads such as French Onion Soup, Meatball Sandwiches, and Tartine's Baked French Toast. While I haven't yet had time to make Chad's Basic Country Bread, I wanted to dive right in, so I made the Panade using rustic bread I had lying around the house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're not familiar with Panade, the headnotes for the recipe explain that it's a basic french preparation similar to the Spanish sopa seca, or \"dry soup.\" Or if you're familiar with the Italian ribollita--same thing. The foundation is always dry bread moistened with water or stock and any combination of vegetables, greens, and cheese you have on hand. While it sounds a lot like bread pudding, the recipe doesn't call for any eggs so it's actually best after setting and retaining its shape two or even three days after it's made. You slice it in wedges to serve and reheat it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/Making-Panade.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/Making-Panade.jpg\" alt=\"Making Panade\" title=\"Making Panade\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17257\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Making Panade from Tartine Bread\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Panade recipe is straightforward and relatively quick to put together. I've reprinted it here with permission from Chad Robertson and the folks at Chronicle Books. At the end of the recipe, you'll find a few personal notes and words of advice for a successful panade. Next time I want to make it with Chad's bread--that is, if there are any day-old slices remaining. Which, somehow, I doubt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_6039.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_6039.jpg\" alt=\"Slice of Panade\" title=\"Slice of Panade\" width=\"500\" height=\"351\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17259\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Slice of Panade\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Panade\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Ingredients:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n4 tablespoons unsalted butter\u003cbr>\n2 leeks, white parts only, finely chopped\u003cbr>\n6 cups whole milk\u003cbr>\nsalt\u003cbr>\n4 slices day-old Basic Country Bread, cut about 1-inch thick\u003cbr>\n1 small butternut squash (about 1 pound), peeled, seeded, and cut into slices 1/4 inch thick\u003cbr>\n1 bunch black kale, stems removed\u003cbr>\n1 head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch slices\u003cbr>\n1/2 pound fontina cheese, thinly slices\u003cbr>\nHeavy Cream (for reheating), optional\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Method\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nPreheat the oven to 375 F. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the milk, the remaining 5 tablespoons butter, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil and them remove from the heat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cover the bottom of a deep, heavy, 5-quart pot with 2 or more slices of the bread. Arrange the squash slices in an even layer on top of the bread and pour in 2 cups of the hot milk mixture. Top with remaining 2 bread slices and then with the kale. Arrange the cauliflower slices over the kale. Press the ingredients down to compact them if they don't quite fit in the pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pour the remaining 4 cups milk mixture over the vegetables and bread. Stop adding the milk when the level is almost to the rim. Season with salt. Cover the pot with the lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and arrange the cheese over the top. Cover, return to the oven, and bake until the liquid is absorbed and reduced, and the cheese has melted and browned, about 20 minutes. When the panade has cooled, it should appear dry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Serve immediately or let cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days. To reheat, cut the panade into wedges and put on individual ovenproof plates. Pour 1/4 cup cream over the top of each wedge and bake for 15 to 20 minutes in an oven preheated to 375 F.\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nServes 4-6\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>\u003cbr>\nMy notes: I used a bit more bread than the recipe called for just to cover the width of my pan. I also found that the panade needed an extra 15 minutes in the oven and I ended up taking off the lid for the last 30 minutes. I found this helped the top crisp up nicely.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Love for all of the obvious reasons: most amazing morning bun, fabulous fruit tarts, and decadent chocolate desserts. Anything lemon. Almond croissants to rival Parisian patisseries. Strong coffee. So what's to hate? Weekend crowds and tourists--the fact that it's tough to squeeze in for that morning bun on a Sunday in any kind of sane manner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thankfully then, for weekend mornings when you can't muster the energy to elbow your way through the lines, we have the Tartine cookbooks (the first of which is aptly named \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Tartine-Elisabeth-Prueitt/dp/0811851508\">Tartine\u003c/a>). Now I very rarely write to publishers directly asking for a review copy of a book, but I did for Tartine's newest cookbook, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Tartine-Bread-Chad-Robertson/dp/0811870413\">Tartine Bread\u003c/a>. I'd been awaiting its arrival ever since I heard that co-owner and bread master, Chad Robertson, was working on it. Chronicle Books was kind enough to send over a copy, and I stayed up and read it from cover to cover that evening. It's absolutely lovely. It's informative, it's inspiring, it's visually stunning. Chad gives you step-by-step instructions, guiding you (in pedestrian terminology) through the process of making his Basic Country Bread and \u003ca href=\"http://ericwolfinger.com/food/index.html\">Eric Wolfinger\u003c/a> (who used to bake bread at the bakery) walks you through each step with his almost tactile, moving photos. It is as I knew it would be: a very special book. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>From the get-go, Chad knew that the photos would be a critical part of the book because \"traditional, intuitive bread making does not lend itself naturally to a written recipe.\" In addition to written instructions, someone needed to \u003cem>show \u003c/em>readers how to make the bread--Eric Wolfinger has succeeded ten times over. Of the visual nature of the book, Chad notes, \"Learning a craft is as much about copying as it is about understanding, as much visual as it is intellectual.\" From a quick glance at the cover of the book, you're already in Eric's world and as you flip to the first page, Chad takes your hand. You're now ready to bake bread. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first 87 pages are devoted to a brief history of the bakery, the evolution of making and selling bread, and the detailed recipe for Chad's Basic Country Bread. In broad terms, he notes that \"the goal of making bread with a satisfying depth of flavor, a good crust, and a moist, supple crumb is a constant.\" In more specific terms, the recipe for the Country Bread begins with a natural yeast starter, often called sourdough, although Chad promotes using a \"younger\" leaven which gives the bread much more of a subtle flavor. He explains that the concept dates back to before the 1930's when French bakers would use natural leaven in their baked goods--before the days of commercial yeast. Now if you tend to be one of those bakers who feel yeasted breads are a big enough leap and can't imagine making your own leaven, heed Chad's words: \"The substantial gains in savor, keeping qualities, and versatile uses with the natural leaven justify the time it takes to build and care for one.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Chad spent over two decades apprenticing with artisan bakers in France and in the United States, and experimented with his own ovens out in West Marin and in Mill Valley. In 2002, he moved to San Francisco with his wife (and other half at Tartine Bakery), Elizabeth Pruitt, to create the legend that is now Tartine Bakery. The rest is history. And readers get a glimpse into that history with each page of Tartine Bread. After Chad's basic bread recipe, the book branches off into interesting variations (olive bread, walnut bread, pizzas). And the last half delves into other recipes mainly using day-old breads such as French Onion Soup, Meatball Sandwiches, and Tartine's Baked French Toast. While I haven't yet had time to make Chad's Basic Country Bread, I wanted to dive right in, so I made the Panade using rustic bread I had lying around the house. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If you're not familiar with Panade, the headnotes for the recipe explain that it's a basic french preparation similar to the Spanish sopa seca, or \"dry soup.\" Or if you're familiar with the Italian ribollita--same thing. The foundation is always dry bread moistened with water or stock and any combination of vegetables, greens, and cheese you have on hand. While it sounds a lot like bread pudding, the recipe doesn't call for any eggs so it's actually best after setting and retaining its shape two or even three days after it's made. You slice it in wedges to serve and reheat it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/Making-Panade.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/Making-Panade.jpg\" alt=\"Making Panade\" title=\"Making Panade\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17257\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Making Panade from Tartine Bread\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Panade recipe is straightforward and relatively quick to put together. I've reprinted it here with permission from Chad Robertson and the folks at Chronicle Books. At the end of the recipe, you'll find a few personal notes and words of advice for a successful panade. Next time I want to make it with Chad's bread--that is, if there are any day-old slices remaining. Which, somehow, I doubt. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_6039.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_6039.jpg\" alt=\"Slice of Panade\" title=\"Slice of Panade\" width=\"500\" height=\"351\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17259\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Slice of Panade\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Panade\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Ingredients:\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n4 tablespoons unsalted butter\u003cbr>\n2 leeks, white parts only, finely chopped\u003cbr>\n6 cups whole milk\u003cbr>\nsalt\u003cbr>\n4 slices day-old Basic Country Bread, cut about 1-inch thick\u003cbr>\n1 small butternut squash (about 1 pound), peeled, seeded, and cut into slices 1/4 inch thick\u003cbr>\n1 bunch black kale, stems removed\u003cbr>\n1 head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 pounds), trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch slices\u003cbr>\n1/2 pound fontina cheese, thinly slices\u003cbr>\nHeavy Cream (for reheating), optional\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Method\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nPreheat the oven to 375 F. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the milk, the remaining 5 tablespoons butter, and 2 teaspoons salt. Bring to a boil and them remove from the heat. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cover the bottom of a deep, heavy, 5-quart pot with 2 or more slices of the bread. Arrange the squash slices in an even layer on top of the bread and pour in 2 cups of the hot milk mixture. Top with remaining 2 bread slices and then with the kale. Arrange the cauliflower slices over the kale. Press the ingredients down to compact them if they don't quite fit in the pot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pour the remaining 4 cups milk mixture over the vegetables and bread. Stop adding the milk when the level is almost to the rim. Season with salt. Cover the pot with the lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 30 minutes. Uncover and arrange the cheese over the top. Cover, return to the oven, and bake until the liquid is absorbed and reduced, and the cheese has melted and browned, about 20 minutes. When the panade has cooled, it should appear dry. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I figured it was time. Now, I can't quite pin down the exact moment I became obsessed with \u003ca href=\"http://www.bigsurbakery.com/#/home\">Big Sur Bakery\u003c/a>. It was well before the recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2010/02/top_10_best_new_getaway_spots\">Bon Appetit mention\u003c/a> and even before the stunning \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/My-Nepenthe-Bohemian-Tales-Family/dp/0740779141\">My Nepenthe\u003c/a> cookbook came out. I feel like it's always been this legend-like place that I've been trying to get past relationships, friends, and family to tag along and try. But most folks always have the same reaction: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>You want to drive 5 hours round-trip to go to a bakery? In one day?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAnd I usually reply something like this: \u003cem>No, no.\u003c/em> Clearly these people are missing something. \u003cem>It's not just a bakery--it's a cafe as well. With real food, too.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oh, sorry. Let me get this straight: So you want to drive over five hours to go to a cafe?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I met my friend Danielle. She and her husband drove down Highway 1 on July 4th and had a chance to join in the Big Sur Bakery's special festivities (Danielle swears she's never enjoyed baked beans until she'd tried theirs). Oh and did I mention \u003cem>they \u003c/em>did it in one day just for the heck of it? Reason #1 why I like Danielle. Reason #2 came to light when she mentioned how \u003cem>we\u003c/em> should drive down and eat lunch there someday because she hadn't had a chance to try the normal, non-holiday menu. I didn't need much convincing. I'd found the best mini road-tripping, foccaccia-loving, landscape-gawking, jelly-donut eating companion ever. Our friend Janet had a chance to join us last minute, and we all set off on a recent cloudy Wednesday morning eager to see what all the buzz was about. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5871.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5871.jpg\" alt=\"Big Sur Bakery customers\" title=\"Big Sur Bakery customers\" width=\"500\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16950\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Decisions, Decisions at Big Sur Bakery \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was initially surprised at how small The Big Sur Bakery is from the inside. There are probably about ten tables and a nice wrap-around deck outside. The folks having lunch were a mix of tourists (donning hiking boots and cameras) and locals swinging in for a quick treat to take with them as they continued down the road. It has the kind of slow pace that makes you want to order a little something else when you're finished with your meal just so you can sit and languish away the afternoon. If you go for lunch as we did, do know that it's counter service only and the menu is much more limited than it is during dinner. Limited, but darn good. They display the lunch specials of the day in the bakery case right when you walk in, so you simply order and pay and they'll bring it on out to your table. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My two dining companions each ordered the seasonal corn soup and a slice of foccaccia: one with local tomatoes and caramelized onions and the other with leeks and goat cheese. Big Sur Bakery makes all of their breads and foccaccias on site in their wood-fired oven and it's apparent from the first bite. The crust is pleasantly soft yet chewy, and the toppings are thoughtful and would've been utterly delicious all on their own. That's the thing about the folks at The Big Sur Bakery: they're adamant about using local eggs and produce whenever possible, and you can taste this decision in the final product. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/big-sur-bakery-2.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/big-sur-bakery-2.jpg\" alt=\"big sur bakery lunch\" title=\"big sur bakery lunch\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16951\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Foccaccias and Seasonal Corn Soup\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For my own lunch, I decided to try the potato frittata and a side of house greens. The frittata was perfectly seasoned with a mix of herbs and a little salt and pepper. And the greens with shallots, roasted carrots and a lemon poppyseed dressing were quite memorable. A perfect compliment to the more substantial frittata. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5883.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5883.jpg\" alt=\"Potato Frittata and House Salad\" title=\"Potato Frittata and House Salad\" width=\"500\" height=\"510\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16954\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Potato Fritatta and House Salad\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danielle was smart enough to take home a Citrus Morning Bun for the next day and reported back that it was a little pillow of heaven (yes, those were close to her exact words). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5862.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5862.jpg\" alt=\"breakfast pastries at Big Sur Bakery\" title=\"breakfast pastries at Big Sur Bakery\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16953\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Breakfast Pastries at Big Sur Bakery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And my friend Janet made the wise decision to buy a jelly donut on our way out. They just looked too good to pass up. We had every intention of waiting until later that afternoon to try it, but we barely made it out the front door. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5892.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5892.jpg\" alt=\"strawberry jelly donut\" title=\"strawberry jelly donut\" width=\"500\" height=\"505\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16952\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Strawberry Jelly Donut at Big Sur Bakery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is, quite possibly, the best jelly donut I've ever had. We puzzled over what made it so extraordinary and decided it had to be the heaps of homemade strawberry jam, the fact that it seemed like the jam was actually baked right into the donut, the light airy dough, and the gentle and completely perfect dusting of sugar. If I lived close to Big Sur, I could be in a whole lot of trouble if this is a standard breakfast item. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've been thinking about how to sum up our few hours at Big Sur Bakery. It's a special place-- that you can gather through recommendations from friends, numerous media reviews, and their very lovely cookbook. But I think the reason it remains so special is because there's a sense still --somehow-- that \u003cem>you've\u003c/em> stumbled upon it. You leave feeling like it's your little place, and you can't wait to tell the friends back home who you know would appreciate it. I'll tell you this: I couldn't imagine any other place I would've wanted to be at 1 p.m. that Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bigsurbakery.com/\">Big Sur Bakery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nHighway 1\u003cbr>\nBig Sur, CA 93920\u003cbr>\n(831) 667-0520\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon 8am-3pm; Tue-Sat 8am-8:30pm; Sun 8am-2:30pm\u003c/p>\n\n",

It was well before the recent \u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2010/02/top_10_best_new_getaway_spots\">Bon Appetit mention\u003c/a> and even before the stunning \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/My-Nepenthe-Bohemian-Tales-Family/dp/0740779141\">My Nepenthe\u003c/a> cookbook came out. I feel like it's always been this legend-like place that I've been trying to get past relationships, friends, and family to tag along and try. But most folks always have the same reaction: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>You want to drive 5 hours round-trip to go to a bakery? In one day?\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\nAnd I usually reply something like this: \u003cem>No, no.\u003c/em> Clearly these people are missing something. \u003cem>It's not just a bakery--it's a cafe as well. With real food, too.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Oh, sorry. Let me get this straight: So you want to drive over five hours to go to a cafe?\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then I met my friend Danielle. She and her husband drove down Highway 1 on July 4th and had a chance to join in the Big Sur Bakery's special festivities (Danielle swears she's never enjoyed baked beans until she'd tried theirs). Oh and did I mention \u003cem>they \u003c/em>did it in one day just for the heck of it? Reason #1 why I like Danielle. Reason #2 came to light when she mentioned how \u003cem>we\u003c/em> should drive down and eat lunch there someday because she hadn't had a chance to try the normal, non-holiday menu. I didn't need much convincing. I'd found the best mini road-tripping, foccaccia-loving, landscape-gawking, jelly-donut eating companion ever. Our friend Janet had a chance to join us last minute, and we all set off on a recent cloudy Wednesday morning eager to see what all the buzz was about. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5871.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5871.jpg\" alt=\"Big Sur Bakery customers\" title=\"Big Sur Bakery customers\" width=\"500\" height=\"448\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16950\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Decisions, Decisions at Big Sur Bakery \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There are probably about ten tables and a nice wrap-around deck outside. The folks having lunch were a mix of tourists (donning hiking boots and cameras) and locals swinging in for a quick treat to take with them as they continued down the road. It has the kind of slow pace that makes you want to order a little something else when you're finished with your meal just so you can sit and languish away the afternoon. If you go for lunch as we did, do know that it's counter service only and the menu is much more limited than it is during dinner. Limited, but darn good. They display the lunch specials of the day in the bakery case right when you walk in, so you simply order and pay and they'll bring it on out to your table. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>My two dining companions each ordered the seasonal corn soup and a slice of foccaccia: one with local tomatoes and caramelized onions and the other with leeks and goat cheese. Big Sur Bakery makes all of their breads and foccaccias on site in their wood-fired oven and it's apparent from the first bite. The crust is pleasantly soft yet chewy, and the toppings are thoughtful and would've been utterly delicious all on their own. That's the thing about the folks at The Big Sur Bakery: they're adamant about using local eggs and produce whenever possible, and you can taste this decision in the final product. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/big-sur-bakery-2.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/big-sur-bakery-2.jpg\" alt=\"big sur bakery lunch\" title=\"big sur bakery lunch\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16951\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Foccaccias and Seasonal Corn Soup\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For my own lunch, I decided to try the potato frittata and a side of house greens. The frittata was perfectly seasoned with a mix of herbs and a little salt and pepper. And the greens with shallots, roasted carrots and a lemon poppyseed dressing were quite memorable. A perfect compliment to the more substantial frittata. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5883.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5883.jpg\" alt=\"Potato Frittata and House Salad\" title=\"Potato Frittata and House Salad\" width=\"500\" height=\"510\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16954\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Potato Fritatta and House Salad\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Danielle was smart enough to take home a Citrus Morning Bun for the next day and reported back that it was a little pillow of heaven (yes, those were close to her exact words). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5862.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5862.jpg\" alt=\"breakfast pastries at Big Sur Bakery\" title=\"breakfast pastries at Big Sur Bakery\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16953\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Breakfast Pastries at Big Sur Bakery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And my friend Janet made the wise decision to buy a jelly donut on our way out. They just looked too good to pass up. We had every intention of waiting until later that afternoon to try it, but we barely made it out the front door. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5892.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/09/IMG_5892.jpg\" alt=\"strawberry jelly donut\" title=\"strawberry jelly donut\" width=\"500\" height=\"505\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16952\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Strawberry Jelly Donut at Big Sur Bakery\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is, quite possibly, the best jelly donut I've ever had. We puzzled over what made it so extraordinary and decided it had to be the heaps of homemade strawberry jam, the fact that it seemed like the jam was actually baked right into the donut, the light airy dough, and the gentle and completely perfect dusting of sugar. If I lived close to Big Sur, I could be in a whole lot of trouble if this is a standard breakfast item. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I've been thinking about how to sum up our few hours at Big Sur Bakery. It's a special place-- that you can gather through recommendations from friends, numerous media reviews, and their very lovely cookbook. But I think the reason it remains so special is because there's a sense still --somehow-- that \u003cem>you've\u003c/em> stumbled upon it. You leave feeling like it's your little place, and you can't wait to tell the friends back home who you know would appreciate it. I'll tell you this: I couldn't imagine any other place I would've wanted to be at 1 p.m. that Wednesday afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bigsurbakery.com/\">Big Sur Bakery\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\nHighway 1\u003cbr>\nBig Sur, CA 93920\u003cbr>\n(831) 667-0520\u003cbr>\nHours: Mon 8am-3pm; Tue-Sat 8am-8:30pm; Sun 8am-2:30pm\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Between seemingly daily San Francisco restaurant openings and brand new food websites, it seems like change is a constant. And like all things, some of those additions are good and some--not so much. So today I'm going to show you around five new food websites that are aiming to make a name for themselves by finding a little niche in the market. Who knows? Maybe you'll find one you like (I did). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kitchen Monki\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.kitchenmonki.com/\">Kitchen Monki\u003c/a> touts themselves as \"your ultimate cooking utensil.\" The site is designed for home cooks and aims to be a place to store recipes, set up a weekly meal plan and generate grocery lists working from that plan. It's basically like a technologically advanced version of what I remember my mom doing on legal pads while we were growing up. It's not for me, personally. I'm far from that organized and rarely know what I'm going to have for lunch let alone what I'm going to have for dinner next Friday. But I can see it catching on, and it's a great tool for busy families who want to lay out their weekly meals and move on to other things. Once you generate your grocery list, they'll actually shoot it over to your iphone or blackberry which is pretty cool and they have an easy-to-use sort and search function to help you find exactly which recipe you're looking for based on ingredients, meal types or courses. So all in all, I think it'll stick around. If you're a planner and have a few people in your household, it might be worth checking out.\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/kitchenmonki\">@kitchenmonki\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/Yummly.png\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/Yummly.png\" alt=\"Yummly\" title=\"Yummly\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15342\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yummly\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.yummly.com/\">Yummly \u003c/a>started up in June and is, from what I can tell, one of the first semantic search sites for food and recipes. They claim to have over 500,000 recipes from all over the web although when I did extensive searches, it seemed most were mainly from \u003ca href=\"http://www.epicurious.com/\">Epicurious\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.food.com/\">Food.com\u003c/a> (Formerly Recipe Zaar). You can search by ingredient, nutrition, taste, price, and even by allergy. Then when you find a recipe you're interested in, Yummly will pull up its full profile, showing a rating by taste profile (salty, savory, sweet, sour, bitter) and nutrition facts. I found the taste profile to be a little kitschy and wondered who exactly deemed each recipe as such: have they made and tasted them all? You can become a member of the site for free (then you'll be coined a \"tastebud\") and will receive taste specific recipe suggestions, can connect with other \"tastebuds,\" and can organize and edit all of your recipes. Members can \"favorite\" things so you can begin to establish a rapport with other people online and see what they're cooking.

Between seemingly daily San Francisco restaurant openings and brand new food websites, it seems like change is a constant. And like all things, some of those additions are good and some--not so much. So today I'm going to show you around five new food websites that are aiming to make a name for themselves by finding a little niche in the market. Who knows? Maybe you'll find one you like (I did). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Kitchen Monki\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.kitchenmonki.com/\">Kitchen Monki\u003c/a> touts themselves as \"your ultimate cooking utensil.\" The site is designed for home cooks and aims to be a place to store recipes, set up a weekly meal plan and generate grocery lists working from that plan. It's basically like a technologically advanced version of what I remember my mom doing on legal pads while we were growing up. It's not for me, personally. I'm far from that organized and rarely know what I'm going to have for lunch let alone what I'm going to have for dinner next Friday. But I can see it catching on, and it's a great tool for busy families who want to lay out their weekly meals and move on to other things. Once you generate your grocery list, they'll actually shoot it over to your iphone or blackberry which is pretty cool and they have an easy-to-use sort and search function to help you find exactly which recipe you're looking for based on ingredients, meal types or courses. So all in all, I think it'll stick around. If you're a planner and have a few people in your household, it might be worth checking out.\u003cbr>\nTwitter: \u003ca href=\"http://twitter.com/kitchenmonki\">@kitchenmonki\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/Yummly.png\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/Yummly.png\" alt=\"Yummly\" title=\"Yummly\" width=\"500\" height=\"279\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15342\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Yummly\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://www.yummly.com/\">Yummly \u003c/a>started up in June and is, from what I can tell, one of the first semantic search sites for food and recipes. They claim to have over 500,000 recipes from all over the web although when I did extensive searches, it seemed most were mainly from \u003ca href=\"http://www.epicurious.com/\">Epicurious\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.food.com/\">Food.com\u003c/a> (Formerly Recipe Zaar). You can search by ingredient, nutrition, taste, price, and even by allergy. Then when you find a recipe you're interested in, Yummly will pull up its full profile, showing a rating by taste profile (salty, savory, sweet, sour, bitter) and nutrition facts. I found the taste profile to be a little kitschy and wondered who exactly deemed each recipe as such: have they made and tasted them all? You can become a member of the site for free (then you'll be coined a \"tastebud\") and will receive taste specific recipe suggestions, can connect with other \"tastebuds,\" and can organize and edit all of your recipes. Members can \"favorite\" things so you can begin to establish a rapport with other people online and see what they're cooking. I like the \u003cem>idea\u003c/em> of this site, I just think the execution needs some polishing.

Although my uncle is a demonstrative lover of hot food who grows big swaths of peppers in his Fairfield backyard, he reported (with a grin) that he’d managed only a few bites of the dish. He'd packed it up though, he said, envisioning, perhaps dangerously, that he might keep the capsaicin-logged concoction in the fridge indefinitely, and occasionally pluck out spoonfuls to add to his weekly stir-fries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told me all this because he knows I like hot food too. My tendencies border on the anti-social. I tell servers I want dishes advertised as spicy to be \"hot, for real,\" and enjoy powering through the molten reality with which I'm soon confronted -- even if my dining companions are put off by my sweaty face and pained countenance. At \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-metate-san-francisco\">El Metate\u003c/a>, I'll ask the owner for a cup of the habanero salsa he often keeps in the back. At \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/vientian-cafe-oakland\">Vientiane Cafe\u003c/a> in East Oakland, I’ll take a nibble from one of the whole Thai chilis interspersed throughout a pile of rare beef larb -- just to see if it’s hot. Of course, it’s hot, I find out five seconds later. The larb itself was delicious and just hot enough. Shouldn’t that be enough to know and savor? No, I need to taste the heating agent, to put my hand on the burner. That moment invigorates me, and I revisit it when I can: paring off a half-centimeter-length sliver of pepper, downing it, and waiting gleefully for lightning to strike my tongue, chest, and gut. There’s an element of daredevilry at play, which is an odd impulse for someone normally quite adverse to risk-taking -- afraid of heights, wary of germs, and, when possible, disinclined to drive on busy highways. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I flipped through the restaurant’s menu on Sunday though, the “extremely hot pepper” didn’t call out to me -- perhaps because I’d breakfasted on thick \u003ca href=\"http://www.casasanchez.com/\">Casa Sanchez\u003c/a> chips, homemade guacamole, and sriracha sauce. If I were handy, I’d affix a bottle to a sprinkler set-up and have red ribbons spitting around the breakfast table every morning, but after the wake-up call I’d given myself, I needed a balanced lunch, not a saucer of lava. Entranced by the promise of authentic, Halal-ified \u003ca href=\"http://www.china.org.cn/english/imperial/26125.htm\">Beijing cuisine\u003c/a>, we ordered too much food -- a customary decision given our habit of picking at leftovers before bed-time -- sipped some tea, and surveyed the surroundings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The restaurant has some quirks. Water comes in plastic cups of varying sizes and hues. Mine was green and translucent, but I saw several customers sipping from flimsy red “keg party” numbers and tall, clear, non-disposable ones too. The store-front outside seems scarcely wider than my outstretched arms. A mirrored wall inside makes the room look twice its size, but it really boils down to eight tables or so, a tiny counter, a clean-looking kitchen you can peer into, and a bathroom located beyond the kitchen. When we arrived towards the end of Sunday’s lunch service, the place was full of adorable children, and for the entirety of our meal, they scampered past our table, to and from the bathroom in the back, which didn’t bother us at all. The owner was gregarious. Initially, he stopped by our table every few minutes. He hovered, asking questions, and then stepped back briefly, before leaning in to hover some more. He was nice though, not nosy, and once the dishes started landing on the table like chili oil-dosed bombs, they were all we could focus on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/soup500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/soup500.jpg\" alt=\"warm pot with sour green sliced fish\" title=\"warm pot with sour green sliced fish\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15437\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \"warm pot with sour green sliced fish\" (#54) began with frills of Napa cabbage nestled in a clear, sparkling broth. Perfumed with sprigs of cilantro, the liquid had a slightly sour, vegetal flavor; it recalled fresh pickles, specifically a sauerkraut that had been just briefly brined. Logs of soft, lovely tofu and boneless sections of flaky white fish poked out from under the cabbage, and cellophane noodles squirmed at the bottom of the bowl. A few drops of chili oil added a gentle, burning undercurrent, balancing out the sourness whenever it began to build. As we hadn’t guessed the \"sour green\" in the first dish meant cabbage, more followed -- hot and sour-style (#40). Cloaked in a smoky, sweet sauce studded with dried chili segments and ginger, each thick, slippery band of cabbage was soft and yielding, melting in the middle, yet just firm enough on the outside to hold together. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/bread500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/bread500.jpg\" alt=\"beef pancake\" title=\"beef pancake\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15438\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beef pancake (#62) arrived, a misshapen satchel of bubbly, brown-blistered dough wrapped around thin, salty beef pounded or pressed into sheets. Green onions wafted from each rough-cut slice. It was surprisingly hard to eat neatly. The layers of pastry and meat fell apart with a little prodding, and grease gushed out. The flaps of dough were quickly slick and chopstick-resistant. Looks weren’t the point though, and fingers worked just fine. The lamb dumplings (#63) looked like pale pot-stickers awaiting a dip in hot oil. The skin was thick and chewy, but not doughy, a jewel of juicy, chives-scented lamb lurking within each tidy sack. They were fantastic with chili oil and a touch of black vinegar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> It was a rare journey to the edge of the city, a drive down Portola, then Sloat, and its rows of cookie-cutter houses, a flat, spare, washed-out landscape so unlike the one I usually wander. The Mission wasn’t warm by the Mission’s standards that afternoon, but when I emerged from the car on Sunday afternoon, stepped past the intersection of 43rd and Vicente, and felt a cool mist speckle my face, I inhabited a different world. At that moment, I felt blessed by San Francisco, its ridiculous micro-climates. It was the edge of the city, it was the edge of August, the time when tomatoes just a few miles inland start to pucker and weigh down their vines, and I was going to eat a \"warm pot\" -- not because someone on Yelp recommended I do so, but because it just felt right.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Although my uncle is a demonstrative lover of hot food who grows big swaths of peppers in his Fairfield backyard, he reported (with a grin) that he’d managed only a few bites of the dish. He'd packed it up though, he said, envisioning, perhaps dangerously, that he might keep the capsaicin-logged concoction in the fridge indefinitely, and occasionally pluck out spoonfuls to add to his weekly stir-fries. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He told me all this because he knows I like hot food too. My tendencies border on the anti-social. I tell servers I want dishes advertised as spicy to be \"hot, for real,\" and enjoy powering through the molten reality with which I'm soon confronted -- even if my dining companions are put off by my sweaty face and pained countenance. At \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/el-metate-san-francisco\">El Metate\u003c/a>, I'll ask the owner for a cup of the habanero salsa he often keeps in the back. At \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/vientian-cafe-oakland\">Vientiane Cafe\u003c/a> in East Oakland, I’ll take a nibble from one of the whole Thai chilis interspersed throughout a pile of rare beef larb -- just to see if it’s hot. Of course, it’s hot, I find out five seconds later. The larb itself was delicious and just hot enough. Shouldn’t that be enough to know and savor? No, I need to taste the heating agent, to put my hand on the burner. That moment invigorates me, and I revisit it when I can: paring off a half-centimeter-length sliver of pepper, downing it, and waiting gleefully for lightning to strike my tongue, chest, and gut. There’s an element of daredevilry at play, which is an odd impulse for someone normally quite adverse to risk-taking -- afraid of heights, wary of germs, and, when possible, disinclined to drive on busy highways. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I flipped through the restaurant’s menu on Sunday though, the “extremely hot pepper” didn’t call out to me -- perhaps because I’d breakfasted on thick \u003ca href=\"http://www.casasanchez.com/\">Casa Sanchez\u003c/a> chips, homemade guacamole, and sriracha sauce. If I were handy, I’d affix a bottle to a sprinkler set-up and have red ribbons spitting around the breakfast table every morning, but after the wake-up call I’d given myself, I needed a balanced lunch, not a saucer of lava. Entranced by the promise of authentic, Halal-ified \u003ca href=\"http://www.china.org.cn/english/imperial/26125.htm\">Beijing cuisine\u003c/a>, we ordered too much food -- a customary decision given our habit of picking at leftovers before bed-time -- sipped some tea, and surveyed the surroundings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The restaurant has some quirks. Water comes in plastic cups of varying sizes and hues. Mine was green and translucent, but I saw several customers sipping from flimsy red “keg party” numbers and tall, clear, non-disposable ones too. The store-front outside seems scarcely wider than my outstretched arms. A mirrored wall inside makes the room look twice its size, but it really boils down to eight tables or so, a tiny counter, a clean-looking kitchen you can peer into, and a bathroom located beyond the kitchen. When we arrived towards the end of Sunday’s lunch service, the place was full of adorable children, and for the entirety of our meal, they scampered past our table, to and from the bathroom in the back, which didn’t bother us at all. The owner was gregarious. Initially, he stopped by our table every few minutes. He hovered, asking questions, and then stepped back briefly, before leaning in to hover some more. He was nice though, not nosy, and once the dishes started landing on the table like chili oil-dosed bombs, they were all we could focus on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Perfumed with sprigs of cilantro, the liquid had a slightly sour, vegetal flavor; it recalled fresh pickles, specifically a sauerkraut that had been just briefly brined. Logs of soft, lovely tofu and boneless sections of flaky white fish poked out from under the cabbage, and cellophane noodles squirmed at the bottom of the bowl. A few drops of chili oil added a gentle, burning undercurrent, balancing out the sourness whenever it began to build. As we hadn’t guessed the \"sour green\" in the first dish meant cabbage, more followed -- hot and sour-style (#40). Cloaked in a smoky, sweet sauce studded with dried chili segments and ginger, each thick, slippery band of cabbage was soft and yielding, melting in the middle, yet just firm enough on the outside to hold together. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/bread500.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/bread500.jpg\" alt=\"beef pancake\" title=\"beef pancake\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15438\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The beef pancake (#62) arrived, a misshapen satchel of bubbly, brown-blistered dough wrapped around thin, salty beef pounded or pressed into sheets. Green onions wafted from each rough-cut slice. It was surprisingly hard to eat neatly. The layers of pastry and meat fell apart with a little prodding, and grease gushed out. The flaps of dough were quickly slick and chopstick-resistant. Looks weren’t the point though, and fingers worked just fine. The lamb dumplings (#63) looked like pale pot-stickers awaiting a dip in hot oil. The skin was thick and chewy, but not doughy, a jewel of juicy, chives-scented lamb lurking within each tidy sack. They were fantastic with chili oil and a touch of black vinegar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

You rolled out of bed craving something good. It's been a long week, you've been working hard, and you deserve some carbs that have been slathered in butter and griddled. And bacon. Definitely some bacon.

This industrial-chic space is well known for its nighttime vibe, but in the light of day, the modern, artsy décor translates well.

What else could you ask for? Nothing. But Orson gives it to you anyway, like flowers, just because. The entire dish is like a big game of call-and-answer.

Our server warned us that the Eggs Benedict were like none we had ever encountered. She actually used the word, “gnarly,” which I should have taken as a warning. She said it was rich (the hollandaise is made with bacon fat), but I thought, well yeah, any eggs benedict is rich…I was up for the challenge and went for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The order came out, and our waitress was right. Like nothing I have ever seen. The sous vide poached eggs and boudin blanc were floating in a swamp of creamed corn and scallion hollandaise sauce. Pieces of basil biscuits were buried beneath. Rich was an understatement. This monster was rich on rich. The boudin blanc and the biscuits had good flavor, but they were drowned in cream. Maybe Eggs Benedict in a Bowl and I just weren't meant to be.

I was excited to check out a book that focused on preserving, putting up, baking and cooking with the dozens and dozens of different kinds of berries in the markets these days. Plus, Hibler's work is rock-solid. She's a contributing writer for Gourmet, Food and Wine and Bon Appetit and grew up in my neck of the woods (Arcata, CA) which immediately gives her a little clout in my book. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So I sat down with a glass of iced tea and started reading. To be fair, The Berry Bible isn't really a book that you'd sit down with a glass of iced tea and read from front to back. It's more of a reference with an A-Z Berry Enclyopedia that profiles berries and berrylike fruits--many of which I guarantee you've never heard of (mountain ash berry, anyone?). Then the book moves on to discuss Berry Basics, a section devoted to information such as freezing berries and making your own purees. Hibler raises the important point that so many berries are available year round now, but they're often not the best quality. She advises buying up good berries when they're in season or from the farmer's market and freezing them to preserve them throughout the year. The easiest way? Rinse, pour onto a baking sheet lined with a paper towel, pat dry, freeze on the sheet and then bag up in plastic bags or airtight containers. And then, of course, there are the 175 recipes spanning everything from spicy blackberry brandy to almond gooseberry cream pie. Many of the recipes are adapted from some of Hibler's favorites that she's gathered from friends, bakeries, and cookbooks spanning the country. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/berres.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2010/07/berres.jpg\" alt=\"Berries\" title=\"Berries\" width=\"500\" height=\"381\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-15108\">\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cem>Prepping for one of Hibler's recipes: Buttermilk Berry Muffins\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hibler's obsession with berries began early. In the Introduction, she details growing up in Northern California and picking berries along the trails there. I can relate. I have vivid memories of wild berries growing in schoolyards, along major highways, and by the beach. I didn't realize how lucky we were. As a young adult, Hibler moved to Portland, OR where her love for berries turned more towards obsession. She made a point to learn all about the berries of the Pacific Northwest. She ran a cooking school and when visiting chefs would come to teach, she'd most look forward to some down time so she could drive them out to the berry fields. Her passion for cooking and baking with berries shines through each page, and the little tidbits of berry history and quotes about berries are usually endearing (some of the literary berry quotes start to feel a bit onerous at times). \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For me, the highlight of the book is the Bread chapter. This is obviously because I'm much more of a baker than a cook. And I'm an occasional canner at best. But even for non-bakers, the Bread chapter is exciting in its variety and approach to baking with berries. From Dutch Pancakes with Cranberry Butter and Mrs. Roger's Bucket Dumpling to Ginger Scones with Lemon Blueberry Filling, Hibler includes old fashioned and contemporary recipes alike.
