I left it briefly to become a millionaire; after striking out at that dream I came back home to the kitchen. \r\n\r\nMy first kitchen job was at a hotel on the boardwalk in Virginia Beach making meatballs and washing dishes. The following summer I graduated to working a raw bar on the inlet where I shucked oysters and cleaned fish for the smoker. \r\n\r\nBefore diving back into the pool of stock pots I went to Hollywood to be discovered as an actor; was kind of discovered but then got lost quickly. \r\n\r\nI'm part of an interactive cooking business called \u003ca href=\"http://handsongourmet.com/\">Hands On Gourmet\u003c/a> where our Chefs cook side by side with guests. I also write the \u003ca href=\"http://handsongourmet.com/blog\">H.O.G. blog\u003c/a>.\r\n \r\nI've been a professional cook in the Bay Area for the past 15 years. My back and feet hurt on a regular basis but I still smile when I cook or dream about food. \r\nI'm a big believer in narrowing the food divide by patient kind education and not being cynical. \r\nI'm less into the politics of food and more into culture. I'm fascinated by the economics, practicality and the sociology of cuisine.\r\nI eat still Fritos and an occasional chili dog, and not just on a road trip. I have absolutely no guilt. \r\nIn my life I have a wonderful father, brilliant sister, magnificent girlfriend and a mischievous cat; and I now contribute to Bay Area Bites! Life is pretty great!","avatar":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/30b5fc5fd333bd4c063927eefe22a35d?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twitter":null,"facebook":null,"instagram":null,"linkedin":null,"sites":[{"site":"bayareabites","roles":["contributor"]}],"headData":{"title":"Stephen Gibbs | KQED","description":null,"ogImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/30b5fc5fd333bd4c063927eefe22a35d?s=600&d=blank&r=g","twImgSrc":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/30b5fc5fd333bd4c063927eefe22a35d?s=600&d=blank&r=g"},"isLoading":false,"link":"/author/stephengibbs"},"darathompson":{"type":"authors","id":"5402","meta":{"index":"authors_1591205172","id":"5402","found":true},"name":"Dara Thompson","firstName":"Dara","lastName":"Thompson","slug":"darathompson","email":"drdarathompson@yahoo.com","display_author_email":false,"staff_mastheads":[],"title":null,"bio":"\u003ca href=\"http://solutionsnaturopathiccare.com/\">Dara Thompson N.D.\u003c/a> is a Naturopathic Doctor practicing in Mill Valley, CA .

Traditional cultures around the globe use spring and summer as a time to shed excess weight and eliminate toxins that have built up during the winter. This can happen naturally as hearty stews are exchanged for fresh salads and cozy days on the couch are replaced with outdoors activities. But this cleansing process can also be gently encouraged with food choices. By selecting foods that support the liver and kidneys, the primary detox organs, cleansing becomes part of a balanced and tasty diet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people use extreme diets like fasting and juice cleanses. But these aren’t necessary for most people and may be dangerous without medical supervision. Take juice fasting as an example. The goal in this popular regime is to consume concentrated vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegetable juices and to supply the body with enough sugar to function without having to digest food. But the problem with consuming only juice for any extended length of time is that it lacks protein. All of the liver detox pathways require protein to function properly. In addition, fiber is necessary in order to adequately eliminate toxins from the gut. Liquid diets that eliminate fiber and protein may cause a lot of negative symptoms because toxins cannot be fully processed and excreted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below is a list of five foods that support the body while cleansing. Most of these foods have a direct benefit on the liver; chemicals need to be processed by the liver in order to be eliminated from the body. It is a huge job and it leaves the liver vulnerable to injury from numerous toxic substances. The good news is that there are many foods that protect the liver from harm. It is not necessary to consume these foods in excess to receive benefit. Normal consumption as part of a healthy diet is all that is needed.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Garlic\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The health benefits of garlic have been known for centuries and modern scientific studies support many of the traditional uses. Not only does garlic make food taste great is has the power to reduce fatty liver disease and improve the production of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23606129\">detox enzymes\u003c/a>. In fact it is so protective to the liver that it can block the development of liver cancer even after exposure to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3596709/\">cancer causing chemicals\u003c/a>. The protective affects of garlic aren’t limited to the liver. It is such a potent antioxidant that it also protects the kidneys from the toxic effects of many \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23626881\">drugs\u003c/a>. Fortunately for people who are sensitive to the heat of raw garlic, most of its beneficial properties are also present in the cooked root.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\" alt=\"Garlic.

But few of them are as tasty as the artichoke. Often thought of as a delicacy, artichokes are powerful medicine.

Traditional cultures around the globe use spring and summer as a time to shed excess weight and eliminate toxins that have built up during the winter. This can happen naturally as hearty stews are exchanged for fresh salads and cozy days on the couch are replaced with outdoors activities. But this cleansing process can also be gently encouraged with food choices. By selecting foods that support the liver and kidneys, the primary detox organs, cleansing becomes part of a balanced and tasty diet. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some people use extreme diets like fasting and juice cleanses. But these aren’t necessary for most people and may be dangerous without medical supervision. Take juice fasting as an example. The goal in this popular regime is to consume concentrated vitamins and minerals from fruit and vegetable juices and to supply the body with enough sugar to function without having to digest food. But the problem with consuming only juice for any extended length of time is that it lacks protein. All of the liver detox pathways require protein to function properly. In addition, fiber is necessary in order to adequately eliminate toxins from the gut. Liquid diets that eliminate fiber and protein may cause a lot of negative symptoms because toxins cannot be fully processed and excreted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Below is a list of five foods that support the body while cleansing. Most of these foods have a direct benefit on the liver; chemicals need to be processed by the liver in order to be eliminated from the body. It is a huge job and it leaves the liver vulnerable to injury from numerous toxic substances. The good news is that there are many foods that protect the liver from harm. It is not necessary to consume these foods in excess to receive benefit. Normal consumption as part of a healthy diet is all that is needed.*\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Garlic\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The health benefits of garlic have been known for centuries and modern scientific studies support many of the traditional uses. Not only does garlic make food taste great is has the power to reduce fatty liver disease and improve the production of \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23606129\">detox enzymes\u003c/a>. In fact it is so protective to the liver that it can block the development of liver cancer even after exposure to \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3596709/\">cancer causing chemicals\u003c/a>. The protective affects of garlic aren’t limited to the liver. It is such a potent antioxidant that it also protects the kidneys from the toxic effects of many \u003ca href=\"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23626881\">drugs\u003c/a>. Fortunately for people who are sensitive to the heat of raw garlic, most of its beneficial properties are also present in the cooked root.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_62356\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/05/garlic1000.jpg\" alt=\"Garlic.

Let's start with the smell. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Push open the door at Russ & Daughters and the first thing to hit you is the store's unique aroma. It's a combination of smokiness from whitefish, salmon, sturgeon,and sable; the brininess of herrings and pickles; the yeastiness of freshly baked bagels and bialys, and the sweetness of rugelach, babka, chocolates, and halvah.

But it also brings to life the lost Jewish world of the Lower East Side. My great-grandfather, also born in Poland, was a baker in the neighborhood; my grandmother, who came here as a child in the early 1900s, had stories of delivering hot rolls in a horse-drawn cart through the pushcarts crowding the tenement-lined streets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That Joel Russ's three daughters Anne, Hattie, and Ida would work in the family business went without saying.

He got an agent, then a publisher, and then, he just had to write it. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"[Calvin] Bud Trillin said, 'Listen, Mark, you stay out of my business, I'll stay out of yours.' So then it was a challenge,\" he laughed. \"Who knew that writing could be harder than retail?\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, Trillin, a popular writer and longtime fan of the shop, went on to write a heartfelt introduction to the book, updating a piece he'd written about the shop back in 1974. In the early 70s, Trillin, like my own father, was taking his daughters to the shop for their first tastes of halvah, herring, kippered salmon, and pickled lox. Now, he takes his grandchildren. As Trillin writes,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"But Russ and Daughters still looks about the same as it did when I described it, around forty years ago, as refutation of the false teaching that a store that sells pickled herring cannot have character and a clean display case at the same time...I know, because I can often be found there on a Sunday morning.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Russ Federman didn't just want to share whitefish-salad recipes and funny anecdotes of famous customers like Zero Mostel and Tony Bourdain. He wanted to capture his family's own stories, research their history, and \"make the Russ family proud of what we've been doing for the past 100 years,\" especially his 92 year old mother Anne and 100 year old aunt Hattie, the two remaining original Russ daughters. \"Because, for them, it was hard work and awful conditions.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Random House sent the first two copies of the book by FedEx to his mother and aunt in Florida, where they now live. Russ Federman opened the box with them and watched as they turned the pages peppered with old family photos. \"Of course, their first reaction was 'Why did you have to say that'? But then, they were totally thrilled. They were stopping, telling their own stories,\" as they went through the book. \"It took 3 years, but I accomplished my mission.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book also details how the store went from neighbor herring purveyor to city institution, playing an essential part in the lives of its customers even as Jews left the Lower East Side, and the neighborhood sank into drug-fueled crime and squalor in the 70s and 80s, followed by artists and then ever-increasing gentrification over the past 20 years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as, one by one, the old Jewish bakeries and delis closed, Russ & Daughters kept going, even after the downtown devastation of 9/11. You wanted to celebrate a bris, you ordered a smoked-fish platter. Sitting shiva after a death in the family, you ordered babka and rugalach, cookies and dried fruit for noshing. From the Yom Kippur break-fast to New Year's Day or just another Sunday morning, any day was a occasion made better with lox, sturgeon, smoked chub, herring salad, even caviar. The trick, of course, wasn't just the sterling quality of the fish; it was that the Russes had the \"schmooze gene,\" able to remember complete customer histories, not just of their tastes in sturgeon and lox but their medical histories, their foibles, and their family trees, and able to banter back and forth across the counter so that shopping there wasn't just shopping, it was an only-in-New-York experience, even for customers who'd long since relocated to Great Neck or New Rochelle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that everyone's got a crock of kraut going in the kitchen, does Russ Federman have advice for the next generation of would-be professional salmon-smokers and pickle makers dreaming of a storefront in Oakland or Bushwick? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forget cutesy names and logos, he tells me. \"Put your own name on the door. Because if your name is on it, every product, every bag, every thing that goes through that door has your ego, your personality, your life on it. Do that for 100 years. Then you'll be a success.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_58233\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Beet-Salad600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Beet-Salad600.jpg\" alt=\"Beet, Apple, and Herring Salad.

As Trillin writes,\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"But Russ and Daughters still looks about the same as it did when I described it, around forty years ago, as refutation of the false teaching that a store that sells pickled herring cannot have character and a clean display case at the same time...I know, because I can often be found there on a Sunday morning.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>But Russ Federman didn't just want to share whitefish-salad recipes and funny anecdotes of famous customers like Zero Mostel and Tony Bourdain. He wanted to capture his family's own stories, research their history, and \"make the Russ family proud of what we've been doing for the past 100 years,\" especially his 92 year old mother Anne and 100 year old aunt Hattie, the two remaining original Russ daughters. \"Because, for them, it was hard work and awful conditions.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Random House sent the first two copies of the book by FedEx to his mother and aunt in Florida, where they now live. Russ Federman opened the box with them and watched as they turned the pages peppered with old family photos. \"Of course, their first reaction was 'Why did you have to say that'? But then, they were totally thrilled. They were stopping, telling their own stories,\" as they went through the book. \"It took 3 years, but I accomplished my mission.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book also details how the store went from neighbor herring purveyor to city institution, playing an essential part in the lives of its customers even as Jews left the Lower East Side, and the neighborhood sank into drug-fueled crime and squalor in the 70s and 80s, followed by artists and then ever-increasing gentrification over the past 20 years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even as, one by one, the old Jewish bakeries and delis closed, Russ & Daughters kept going, even after the downtown devastation of 9/11. You wanted to celebrate a bris, you ordered a smoked-fish platter. Sitting shiva after a death in the family, you ordered babka and rugalach, cookies and dried fruit for noshing. From the Yom Kippur break-fast to New Year's Day or just another Sunday morning, any day was a occasion made better with lox, sturgeon, smoked chub, herring salad, even caviar. The trick, of course, wasn't just the sterling quality of the fish; it was that the Russes had the \"schmooze gene,\" able to remember complete customer histories, not just of their tastes in sturgeon and lox but their medical histories, their foibles, and their family trees, and able to banter back and forth across the counter so that shopping there wasn't just shopping, it was an only-in-New-York experience, even for customers who'd long since relocated to Great Neck or New Rochelle. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now that everyone's got a crock of kraut going in the kitchen, does Russ Federman have advice for the next generation of would-be professional salmon-smokers and pickle makers dreaming of a storefront in Oakland or Bushwick? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Forget cutesy names and logos, he tells me. \"Put your own name on the door. Because if your name is on it, every product, every bag, every thing that goes through that door has your ego, your personality, your life on it. Do that for 100 years. Then you'll be a success.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_58233\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Beet-Salad600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/Beet-Salad600.jpg\" alt=\"Beet, Apple, and Herring Salad.

Unlike a big steak dinner, this meal won’t put you right to bed in a food coma afterwards -- which is not to say that it still can’t be a special occasion meal. We bump up the luxe factor with a \u003cem>beurre blanc\u003c/em> sauce here. \u003cem>Beurre blanc\u003c/em>, say it with me. It just sounds sexy. It’s easy to make too, and isn’t as finicky as some other egg-based French sauces. Really, it just calls for a lot of butter, whisked into a reduction of white wine and vinegar. The kick of acid from that reduction is wonderful with the richness of the butter.

Make as much or as little as you want, if you choose to make it at all.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Golden beets, cleaned with the root ends trimmed\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Fresh, ripe citrus. Seville or navel oranges, clementines or tangerines\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Toasted walnuts\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Maple syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Something green: beet tops, parsley, dandelion greens. Your choice. And when I say \"something green,\" I do not mean items such as M&Ms or dollar bills. However, you're the one making it, so I will leave that up to you. If money enhances your mood, then go for it.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sea salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Cinnamon (Optional. Of course, many things are optional, but cinnamon is extra so.)\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Preparation:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Heat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet or oven-proof casserole with aluminum foil. Lay another large, loose layer of foil in the pan. Place beets on the loose sheet, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with a few pinches of salt and cinnamon. Wrap beets in the top layer of foil an put everything in the oven. (When I say \"put everything in the oven\", I mean the foil-wrapped beets and their roasting vessel [i.e. casserole or baking sheet]. DO NOT place iPhones, pets, or small children inside a hot oven.) Bake for about 45 minutes or until the tip of a knife slips easily into their centers. Remove from the oven and let cool.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>When the beets are cool enough to handle, peel them and then slice them into whatever shapes you prefer. Transfer them to a bowl, squeeze the juice from one orange over them, drizzle with maple syrup, cover and refrigerate until ready to use. I prefer to leave them overnight. They will last for several days covered and refrigerated.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>A few minutes before you feel you are ready to eat this salad, peel and slice your citrus. Suprèming (removing segments from their membranes using a very sharp knife) one's citrus makes for an attractive presentation, but it is time-consuming. Peeling and slicing your oranges/tangerines/clementines crosswise is much less time-consuming/dangerous.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>To assemble, toss sliced beets, citrus, and torn bits of greens in a small bowl with a spittle of olive oil and a good sprinkling of sea salt. Spoon out onto a serving plate and drizzle with maple syrup.\u003c/li>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cli>Cover salad well with cling wrap and head for the nearest high bridge. Offer salad to any and all potential jumpers. If your luring is unsuccessful, self-medicate with said salad.

You could go straight to the Scorpio menu in my \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1933149264/kqedorg-20\">Astrology Cookbook\u003c/a>: figs wrapped in proscuitto and dripping with pomegranate glaze; lamb chops sauced with port, bleeding heart cake gushing molten chocolate and raspberry. Or you can mix and match you and your demon lover's favorite dishes, adding an edge of pleasure and pain. Like it spicy? Then make that curry really, really spicy. Endorphins=good. (Just be careful slicing those chilis.
