A classic American comfort food, fried chicken is a delectable guilty pleasure. Traditional Southern fried chicken is typically marinated in buttermilk, then dredged in flour and deep-fried. However, from batter and frying methods to secret spice blends, chefs tend to lend their own interpretations to the dish. Furthermore, fried chicken can be served as a savory dish or paired alongside fluffy waffles for a sweet spin. Here is a collection of 10 South Bay restaurants serving up unique versions of Southern fried chicken. If we missed your favorite fried chicken spot, please be sure to share it in the comments.

My mom taught us to love all kinds of food and revere high-quality ingredients. I am now trying to follow in my mother’s footsteps and am on a mission to help my daughters become adventurous eaters who have a healthy respect for seasonal food raised locally. My daughters and I grow vegetables and go to the farmers’ market. We also love to shop at Piedmont Grocery and Trader Joe’s. When I’m not hanging out with my daughters or cooking, I like to contribute to cookbooks (including Williams-Sonoma’s Food Made Fast and Foods of the World series), work as an editor, and write about food for \u003cstrong>Bay Area Bites\u003c/strong> and \u003cstrong>Denise's Kitchen\u003c/strong>.

Or should be. It never fails to amaze me how many people screw this up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The ideal execution of bill getting-and-paying should be a near-non-event. The only words exchanged should be those of thanks between the payer and the server, and from the recipients of the evening's generosity to one giving it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This should be obvious to most of you out there. Hopefully. Sadly, it isn't to everyone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Here are a few handy tips on how to pay a restaurant bill with grace:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>1. In a fine dining environment, when a server delivers the bill to a table, he or she will either place it nearest the host or hand it directly to him/her if the host reaches out for it, or place the bill in the center of the table if the host is not clearly certain (for example, if more than one person orders wine or food for the table as a whole). Typically, we assume that the person paying is the one who asks for the check. If that happens to be you, please proceed to step 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. When you are ready to make payment, place your credit card, cash, cowrie shells, or whatever method of payment is accepted inside the bill folder with just enough spilling out to indicate that you are ready to make payment. This is important. It is most likely (and hoped for) that your server will not be staring at you as you rifle through your wallet. When you have accomplished this feat, place the bill folder at the edge of the table next to you or, if you are seated in a booth, the end of the table nearest the server's approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I find it surprising how many people do not understand this small-but-important ritual. The folder could be stuffed with cash, but if it looks as though it has been both untouched and unmoved, it's not going anywhere. Servers are often expected to read the minds of guests, but I think they deserve a little help on this one. Please, make it obvious that you are ready to give payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3. When the server hands you back your bill, sign it at your leisure, but when you are finished, please place it back on the edge of the table. Your server may then take it away. He (in most cases) is not taking it away out of greed, but rather to take care of the paperwork, especially if you have paid by credit card.

Any server worth his salt will just treat it (outwardly) that it's no big deal and, rather than say, \"I'm sorry, your card's been declined,\" will say something to the effect of, \"Excuse me, do you have another card? This one doesn't seem to be working.\" Unless I'm handed one of those black titanium American Express cards. Then I always give a little frown and tell them it's declined.

Really, it would make me \u003cem>very\u003c/em> happy to do it!\" You are then supposed to respond with something to the effect of, \"Well... alright, if it will make you happy, but\u003cem> I'm\u003c/em> taking \u003cem>you\u003c/em> out next time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then you're done.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Do not, I repeat, \u003cstrong>do not\u003c/strong> drag the server into this.

Taking sides is not in my economic interest. If I am approached privately by a member of a dining party who hands me his or her card and insists on paying, I will: a) run the credit card and hand back at the end of the meal, run and ready so that he or she is one step ahead of arguments, or b) if the card-giver is not the clear-cut host, I will hand the card back uncharged.

In a fine dining environment, when a server delivers the bill to a table, he or she will either place it nearest the host or hand it directly to him/her if the host reaches out for it, or place the bill in the center of the table if the host is not clearly certain (for example, if more than one person orders wine or food for the table as a whole). Typically, we assume that the person paying is the one who asks for the check. If that happens to be you, please proceed to step 2.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2. When you are ready to make payment, place your credit card, cash, cowrie shells, or whatever method of payment is accepted inside the bill folder with just enough spilling out to indicate that you are ready to make payment. This is important. It is most likely (and hoped for) that your server will not be staring at you as you rifle through your wallet. When you have accomplished this feat, place the bill folder at the edge of the table next to you or, if you are seated in a booth, the end of the table nearest the server's approach.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I find it surprising how many people do not understand this small-but-important ritual. The folder could be stuffed with cash, but if it looks as though it has been both untouched and unmoved, it's not going anywhere. Servers are often expected to read the minds of guests, but I think they deserve a little help on this one. Please, make it obvious that you are ready to give payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>3.

Invented by Playland-at-the-Beach amusement park owner George Whitney in 1928, an It’s-It is a scoop of ice cream sandwiched by two oatmeal cookies and then dipped into chocolate. In my opinion, the key components are the oatmeal cookies (where there are raisins: I’ve checked!), which provide a soft snap that somehow lightens the load of a regular cookie while also giving me the comfort and warmth of my grandma’s oatmeal cookies — perhaps a reminder that San Francisco is never as warm as an American summer promises. But I’m okay with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any recreation experiment begs the question: why make your own? We’re spoiled with choice and availability in the Bay, so I’d absolutely be able to run blindfolded in any direction for half an hour before bumping into the storied ice cream treat. But, aside from the fact that I like to give myself a challenge, I simply like to create new flavor combinations. It’s-Its come in vanilla, chocolate, mint, and cappuccino, along with seasonal strawberry and pumpkin flavors, but I went off-script to make a version that was even more of an ode to the Bay Area with rocky road ice cream, a flavor that was actually invented in Oakland. In the 1920s, ice cream entrepreneur William Dreyer wanted to raise people’s spirits during the Great Depression and decided the best way to do so was with a combination of chocolate ice cream, nuts, and marshmallows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, I’m not going to stop you from doing your own thing. You can find your own oatmeal cookie recipe (or buy them), your own ice cream recipe (or buy it), and your own chocolate shell recipe (or buy it) and call it a day, but this is what \u003cem>I\u003c/em> did. Many recipes veer fancy in order to get as close to an It’s-It as possible, but again: why recreate it when you can re-interpret it? If the Bay Area has taught me anything, it’s that there’s room for all flavors to exist here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can go up to a cup for each ingredient for the rocky road ice cream, but sometimes the dual textures of the hard almonds and soft marshmallows throws people off.

Invented by Playland-at-the-Beach amusement park owner George Whitney in 1928, an It’s-It is a scoop of ice cream sandwiched by two oatmeal cookies and then dipped into chocolate. In my opinion, the key components are the oatmeal cookies (where there are raisins: I’ve checked!), which provide a soft snap that somehow lightens the load of a regular cookie while also giving me the comfort and warmth of my grandma’s oatmeal cookies — perhaps a reminder that San Francisco is never as warm as an American summer promises. But I’m okay with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any recreation experiment begs the question: why make your own? We’re spoiled with choice and availability in the Bay, so I’d absolutely be able to run blindfolded in any direction for half an hour before bumping into the storied ice cream treat. But, aside from the fact that I like to give myself a challenge, I simply like to create new flavor combinations. It’s-Its come in vanilla, chocolate, mint, and cappuccino, along with seasonal strawberry and pumpkin flavors, but I went off-script to make a version that was even more of an ode to the Bay Area with rocky road ice cream, a flavor that was actually invented in Oakland. In the 1920s, ice cream entrepreneur William Dreyer wanted to raise people’s spirits during the Great Depression and decided the best way to do so was with a combination of chocolate ice cream, nuts, and marshmallows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First of all, I’m not going to stop you from doing your own thing. You can find your own oatmeal cookie recipe (or buy them), your own ice cream recipe (or buy it), and your own chocolate shell recipe (or buy it) and call it a day, but this is what \u003cem>I\u003c/em> did. Many recipes veer fancy in order to get as close to an It’s-It as possible, but again: why recreate it when you can re-interpret it? If the Bay Area has taught me anything, it’s that there’s room for all flavors to exist here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>You can go up to a cup for each ingredient for the rocky road ice cream, but sometimes the dual textures of the hard almonds and soft marshmallows throws people off.

In his book, he assumes his readers are novice bakers, too, excited but clueless, and so his recipes are laid out like lessons, starting with a (mostly) simple, yeast-based pan loaf and building, stage by stage, to hand-shaped sourdough hearth loaves. Once the reader has mastered the basic sourdough loaf, Baker uses similar techniques and ratios to teach flavored breads, pizzas, and whole-grain, rye, kamut, and spelt loaves. He also shares the recipes for his popular fiber-crammed and gluten-free \"Adventure Loaf\" (recipe below), cornbread, chocolate-chip cookies, fruit crumble, and a roommate's long-soaked \"overnight oats\" porridge.

Spend a few minutes scrolling though Baker's blog, though, and it's clear that the voice and tone of the book is sincerely his. Baker is a surfin', bakin', lovin' dude through and through, down to the naked jumping-in-a-river back view that he's proudly posted on his blog's home page. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes it's funny.\"Who doesn't like cinnamon raisin toast?\" he writes in the headnote for Cinnamon Raisin Bread. \"Jerks, that's who.\" Sometimes it's just a little much, as when he coos, half-ironically, \"But I really love me a hearth loaf. (That just sounds so sexy, doesn't it? Say it out loud: \u003cem>hearth loaf\u003c/em>. So liberated, so rustic, so pure).\" And repeating the same Food Network-style catchphrases in every recipe--\"Let the magic happen\" for rising, \"That's a very good question!\" underlined in red for every trouble-shooting query--gets old fast. There's also some needless padding, like a layout that starts every recipe with \"Gather your foodstuffs and tools,\" and the long, unmeasured list of required \"foodstuffs\" that's listed up front and adds an extra page to every recipe. (The ingredients, in their precise measurements, are repeated in easy-to-read tables within the recipes themselves.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how are the breads? Anyone with a bag of flour and a packet of yeast can turn out a comforting, toastable loaf of sandwich bread. (Enter the bread machine.) But making really good bread takes both technique and time. Turning out bread with both a crunchy, crackly crust and a moist, air-hole-riddled interior--the sort of bread we're lucky enough to take for granted here in the Bay Area, home of so many fabulous artisan bakeries--takes a lot more attention and a more refined skill set. There's no getting around those facts, no matter how much Baker insists that his bread recipes are easily adjustable. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each stage takes only a very small amount of hands-on time, it's true, but you do have to have the leisure, luxury, or flexibility to be around for these multiple stages, even if you're only spending a few minutes each time. Let's break it down: First there's the sourdough making, a 2-week building process. Then the pre-ferment (12 hours), the mixing and dough hydration (1 hour), the kneading and resting (4 times, spread out over 2 hours in 30-min intervals), the 2 or 3 hour bulk rise (2 to 3 hours), the pre-shape and resting (15 minutes), the final shaping and rising (3 to 4 hours), the baking (45 minutes) and the cooling (2 to 3 hours). This is bread baking for those with 24 hours to dedicate to making bread. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By no means is this a criticism of Baker's technique; dough is a living thing and making bread requires natural chemical processes that don't benefit from being rushed. Bread risen fast can taste harshly of the commercial yeast it's made from, while slow-risen, naturally leavened breads share the mellow flavor of their grains. But it can take some close reading to realize just how slow a process making these breads can be. Baker, in his enthusiasm, doesn't really lay out the timing beforehand, although he does scale each recipe's ingredients for 1, 2 and 4 loaves in a handy chart. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For those who think of Baker as simply the \"hipster toast guy,\" this book should be a cautionary tale for anyone hoping to start a small perishable food business, especially those used to the regular comfort of tech-sized paychecks. At least in writing, Baker takes a wide-eyed, aw-shucks attitude towards his current success, acting stunned each time his loaves find a new level of popularity, from neighbors offering to pay for the \"free bread\" he'd been passing around, to strangers signing up for his \"Community Supported Bread\" program after Daily Candy wrote a story about it, to the local businesses, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.missionpie.com\">Mission Pie\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.pizzaiolooakland.com/\">Pizzaiolo\u003c/a>, who helped him grow his itinerant bakery by providing commercial baking space. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also took building a helping-hands community of friends and colleagues willing to share their time, space, expertise, and, in the case of Pizzaiolo owner Charlie Hallowell, even a couch, where Baker would crash during the wee hours while his dough rose in the restaurant nearby. Baker never complains--in fact, he's thrilled that doing what he loves has actually become a business--but he also doesn't play down the immense amounts of sheer physical work it took for him as a one-man operation to learn and make quality bread for sale, day in and day out, including huge amounts of driving, hauling, and up-and-down-the-stairs moving of bag after bag of flours, seeds, starters, equipment and more. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In describing how he came up with the small single-size loaves he calls \"pocketbreads\" (not pitas, but small, round sourdough loaves baked in muffin pans), he explains how he was losing sales to people who \"weren't looking for the commitment of an entire loaf.\" At that point, baking in a spare corner of the kitchen at Mission Pie, the bread was so labor-intensive that he needed to sell every bit he made. As he writes, \"So I started taking 10 or 15 pounds of my bread dough, tossing stuff in, shaping it into tiny loaves, and seeing how people liked them. Pocketbreads were a big deal for my budding bread business. Some days I sold 75 of those little suckers, at $2 a pop. That was big for me at the time, scraping by as I was. It meant another couple hundred bucks a week, and it meant I could keep diving deeper into bread.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Erin Kunkel's photographs are beautifully appetite-whetting, and work hard to make bread sexy (mmmm, drip that honey...). Gorgeous as they are, though, they often leave holes when it comes to illustrating the recipes step by step. Certain key steps, like the stretch-and-fold techniques used for kneading and shaping, are described but not photographed, which could be a drawback for those who haven't seen these less familiar techniques demonstrated in person. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Baker's chattiness and his need to anxiously reassure his readers that, really, anybody can do this and bread-baking isn't as hard as you think can get in the way of necessary detail. The Sesame Bread recipe starts with a whole-wheat pre-ferment of whole wheat flour, water, and a small amount of yeast. This rough, batter-like dough rises for 12 hours, and then the reader is instructed to simply mix in the next ingredients--bread flour, sesame seeds, water, salt. But what I got was a white dough ribboned like marble cake with brown whole-wheat pre-ferment, a unhomogenized mixture that needs serious beating to blend. Based on experience with other bread books, I realized it would have made much more sense to break the pre-ferment down in water like a batter, then expand it bit by bit with white flour to make a smooth dough. The explanations for stretching and turning the dough--a gentler version of kneading that works better for the slack, slow-risen doughs used here--could also use more clarification. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Baker does his best to get novice bakers excited about the prospect of turning out serious bread. There are useful tips, like the need for pre-soaking seeds before adding (otherwise, they'll suck up excess moisture in the dough, resulting in a dry loaf), and the ways that rye, spelt and kamut flours act differently from wheat. (I also plan to adopt his DIY baker's blade--a sharpened popsicle stick slid through the holes of a double-edged razor blade--as soon as possible, since a regular knife blade invariably sticks and tears with every attempt to slash through the top of a jiggly risen pillow of dough.) If you can handle the tone, Baker offers a lot of useful information here, without getting either as precise or technical as Robertson. While Robertson seems dubious that anyone but a fellow obsessive can master his meticulous and beautiful breads, Baker can't wait to share the joy he finds in all things bread-related. He's convinced that anyone--that means you, baker!--can make a sexy loaf, given a handful of techniques and a bread-dedicated 24 hours or so. Go ye forth, dude, and bake. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.penroseoakland.com/\">Penrose Restaurant\u003c/a> will be featuring a special menu and booksigning for Josey Baker Bread on June 6, 5:30-10:30pm.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\" alt=\"Josey Baker Adventure Bread.

That’s what this bread is for. But that’s not all it is for . . . it’s also gluten-free! That will either entice you or turn you off, but either way I really hope that you give it a shot because it is incredible, and it is suuuper healthy. It’s unlike any other bread in this book, in that there isn’t even any flour in it, and it isn’t fermented—it’s basically just a bunch of seeds held together with a little bit of psyllium seed husk and chia seeds. I started making it in the bakery because we kept having folks come in and ask us for gluten-free bread, and I got tired of saying no. Up until we made this bread, I had mostly been turned off by gluten-free breads, because it seemed like they were all just trying to imitate wheat breads, and failing miserably. But this bread stands on its own—it is gluten-free and proud of it. Special thanks goes out to Sarah Britton, blogger at My New Roots; her recipe inspired this bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 1/4 cups (235 gms) rolled oats\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup (160 gms) sunflower seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup pumpkin seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup flax seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup (25 gm) psyllium seed husk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp chia seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp (12 gm) finely ground sea salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp maple syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 1/2 (600 gm) cups water\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Toast the seeds. Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Spread the sunflower and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet and toast until they start to brown, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway between baking.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Measure ingredients. Dump dry stuff into a big bowl. Then pour in all the wet stuff.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mix it all up, scoop into pan. Oil a loaf pan (about 8\" x 4\", or 20cm x 10cm), and then mush up your “dough” real good with your strong hands or a big spoon. Take pride in your mush-job, this is all of the handling you’re going to do with this “dough.” Once it’s mixed real good, scoop it into your oiled pan and smooth out the top so it looks nice. Then stick that guy in the fridge and leave it alone for at least a few hours, up to a whole day.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bake it. Put a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F/200°C. Bake for about an hour or so, then take it out and gently remove the loaf from the pan. Let it cool on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours (YES, two whole hours). Don’t rush it here folks, this bread is D*E*N*S*E, and if you don’t wait for it to cool, it really won’t be as yummy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Toast and eat. This bread is definitely best sliced nice and thin (around 1/2 inch/12 mm) and then toasted up and spread with whatever your heart desires. And don’t worry, if you’re adventuring somewhere without toaster access (like a gorgeous river in the middle of nowhere), it will still be scrumptious, I promise.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"Love The Mill's fabulous toast?

Gorgeous as they are, though, they often leave holes when it comes to illustrating the recipes step by step. Certain key steps, like the stretch-and-fold techniques used for kneading and shaping, are described but not photographed, which could be a drawback for those who haven't seen these less familiar techniques demonstrated in person. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sometimes, Baker's chattiness and his need to anxiously reassure his readers that, really, anybody can do this and bread-baking isn't as hard as you think can get in the way of necessary detail. The Sesame Bread recipe starts with a whole-wheat pre-ferment of whole wheat flour, water, and a small amount of yeast. This rough, batter-like dough rises for 12 hours, and then the reader is instructed to simply mix in the next ingredients--bread flour, sesame seeds, water, salt. But what I got was a white dough ribboned like marble cake with brown whole-wheat pre-ferment, a unhomogenized mixture that needs serious beating to blend. Based on experience with other bread books, I realized it would have made much more sense to break the pre-ferment down in water like a batter, then expand it bit by bit with white flour to make a smooth dough. The explanations for stretching and turning the dough--a gentler version of kneading that works better for the slack, slow-risen doughs used here--could also use more clarification. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Baker does his best to get novice bakers excited about the prospect of turning out serious bread. There are useful tips, like the need for pre-soaking seeds before adding (otherwise, they'll suck up excess moisture in the dough, resulting in a dry loaf), and the ways that rye, spelt and kamut flours act differently from wheat. (I also plan to adopt his DIY baker's blade--a sharpened popsicle stick slid through the holes of a double-edged razor blade--as soon as possible, since a regular knife blade invariably sticks and tears with every attempt to slash through the top of a jiggly risen pillow of dough.) If you can handle the tone, Baker offers a lot of useful information here, without getting either as precise or technical as Robertson. While Robertson seems dubious that anyone but a fellow obsessive can master his meticulous and beautiful breads, Baker can't wait to share the joy he finds in all things bread-related. He's convinced that anyone--that means you, baker!--can make a sexy loaf, given a handful of techniques and a bread-dedicated 24 hours or so. Go ye forth, dude, and bake. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.penroseoakland.com/\">Penrose Restaurant\u003c/a> will be featuring a special menu and booksigning for Josey Baker Bread on June 6, 5:30-10:30pm.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_82824\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 700px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2014/06/Josey-Baker-Bread_Adventure-Bread700.jpg\" alt=\"Josey Baker Adventure Bread.

That’s what this bread is for. But that’s not all it is for . . . it’s also gluten-free! That will either entice you or turn you off, but either way I really hope that you give it a shot because it is incredible, and it is suuuper healthy. It’s unlike any other bread in this book, in that there isn’t even any flour in it, and it isn’t fermented—it’s basically just a bunch of seeds held together with a little bit of psyllium seed husk and chia seeds. I started making it in the bakery because we kept having folks come in and ask us for gluten-free bread, and I got tired of saying no. Up until we made this bread, I had mostly been turned off by gluten-free breads, because it seemed like they were all just trying to imitate wheat breads, and failing miserably. But this bread stands on its own—it is gluten-free and proud of it. Special thanks goes out to Sarah Britton, blogger at My New Roots; her recipe inspired this bread.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cstrong>Ingredients:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>2 1/4 cups (235 gms) rolled oats\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1 cup (160 gms) sunflower seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/2 cup pumpkin seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup almonds, toasted and coarsely chopped\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3/4 cup flax seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/3 cup (25 gm) psyllium seed husk\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>3 tbsp chia seeds\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tsp (12 gm) finely ground sea salt\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 tbsp maple syrup\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>1/4 cup olive oil\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>2 1/2 (600 gm) cups water\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003col>\n\u003cstrong>Instructions:\u003c/strong>\n\u003cli>Toast the seeds. Preheat your oven to 350°F/180°C. Spread the sunflower and pumpkin seeds on a baking sheet and toast until they start to brown, about 15 minutes, stirring halfway between baking.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Measure ingredients. Dump dry stuff into a big bowl. Then pour in all the wet stuff.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Mix it all up, scoop into pan. Oil a loaf pan (about 8\" x 4\", or 20cm x 10cm), and then mush up your “dough” real good with your strong hands or a big spoon. Take pride in your mush-job, this is all of the handling you’re going to do with this “dough.” Once it’s mixed real good, scoop it into your oiled pan and smooth out the top so it looks nice. Then stick that guy in the fridge and leave it alone for at least a few hours, up to a whole day.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Bake it. Put a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 400°F/200°C. Bake for about an hour or so, then take it out and gently remove the loaf from the pan. Let it cool on a cooling rack for at least 2 hours (YES, two whole hours). Don’t rush it here folks, this bread is D*E*N*S*E, and if you don’t wait for it to cool, it really won’t be as yummy.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Toast and eat. This bread is definitely best sliced nice and thin (around 1/2 inch/12 mm) and then toasted up and spread with whatever your heart desires. And don’t worry, if you’re adventuring somewhere without toaster access (like a gorgeous river in the middle of nowhere), it will still be scrumptious, I promise.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ol>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/bayareabites/82723/josey-baker-bread-baking-for-bros-with-gluten-free-adventure-bread-recipe","authors":["5038"],"categories":["bayareabites_1516","bayareabites_109","bayareabites_752","bayareabites_2254","bayareabites_588","bayareabites_2695","bayareabites_1875","bayareabites_12"],"tags":["bayareabites_59","bayareabites_13430","bayareabites_138","bayareabites_13421","bayareabites_13422","bayareabites_9782"],"featImg":"bayareabites_82828","label":"bayareabites"},"bayareabites_94355":{"type":"posts","id":"bayareabites_94355","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"bayareabites","id":"94355","found":true},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"bored-of-apples-and-walnuts-try-adding-date-charoset-to-your-passover-table-this-year","title":"Bored of Apples and Walnuts?

Jews from the East are also more likely to use fruits mentioned in the Bible, so figs and raisins are also common. While cinnamon is commonly used in Arab versions, many more spices are likely to be found with it, like cardamom, ginger and nutmeg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_94351\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/ch5-3types-final.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-94351\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/03/ch5-3types-final-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"From left, charoset from Iraq, Libya and Iran.

To make it, dates were simmered in hot water until soft, and then the liquid was pushed through cheese cloth. Walnuts would then be pounded in a sack with a hammer into pieces, and mixed together with the dates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, of course, it’s much simpler to make. Canoush buys date syrup either from Iraq or Israel (it can be found in Middle Eastern groceries), and she grinds her walnuts in the food processor, and then stirs the two together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people add cardamom too, to make it a little more interesting, but my family didn’t,” said Canoush. “I put a tiny bit of lemon juice to bring out the taste.” She adds, “you don’t want it too thick, but you don’t want the date syrup to run out from the nuts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Canoush sometimes makes other versions of charoset as well, she said this one is always the most popular at her table.

To make it, dates were simmered in hot water until soft, and then the liquid was pushed through cheese cloth. Walnuts would then be pounded in a sack with a hammer into pieces, and mixed together with the dates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, of course, it’s much simpler to make. Canoush buys date syrup either from Iraq or Israel (it can be found in Middle Eastern groceries), and she grinds her walnuts in the food processor, and then stirs the two together.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some people add cardamom too, to make it a little more interesting, but my family didn’t,” said Canoush. “I put a tiny bit of lemon juice to bring out the taste.” She adds, “you don’t want it too thick, but you don’t want the date syrup to run out from the nuts.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Canoush sometimes makes other versions of charoset as well, she said this one is always the most popular at her table.

It’s quite easy to do — and I’ll be sharing my methods in a DIY recipe next week — but it is easy to be tempted by the wide assortment of ‘krauts available at grocery stores these days. Even at traditional grocery stores like Lucky’s, you can find true raw sauerkrauts, often from more than one brand.

Each sauerkraut maker tends to put its own spin on the product. Even amongst the plain options (just cabbage and salt), textures and levels of fermentation vary, so the end result is different. Other brands add an aromatic or two, from traditional caraway to more assertive garlic.

The company makes five different sauerkrauts; the caraway variety is the most traditional. Opening the pouch (Farmhouse Culture packs its ferments in a breathable bag to allow any gasses released from the ferment to escape) reveals a pleasant anise-y aroma. The thin shreds of cabbage have a crisp-tender texture and a balanced sour tang. There’s little in the way of the yeasty fermentation flavor that accompanies longer ferments, making Farmhouse Culture a fantastic introductory sauerkraut. I’ve been eating it straight out the pouch as a snack, but it would be equally good on a grilled sausage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sonomabrinery.com/products.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Sonoma Brinery Raw Sauerkraut Traditional\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98263\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"Sonoma Brinery sauerkraut.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1342\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98263\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-400x280.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-800x559.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-1440x1007.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-1400x979.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-1180x825.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-960x671.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonoma Brinery sauerkraut. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98264\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Sonoma Brinery has a surprising depth of flavor for its short ingredient list.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1456\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98264\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-400x303.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-800x607.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-1440x1092.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-1400x1062.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-1180x895.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-960x728.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonoma Brinery has a surprising depth of flavor for its short ingredient list. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Here is the sauerkraut you’re most likely to find at your neighborhood grocery store. Sonoma Brinery has done a very good job getting onto the shelves at stores like Lucky’s and Andronico’s, in addition to health and specialty food stores like Whole Foods, Bi-Rite, and Berkeley Bowl. It’s also the cheapest on the shelf by almost half. (It is not organic, unlike most raw ‘krauts.) Sonoma Brinery’s sauerkraut is on the stronger side; it’s not super funky, but it definitely has yeast flavor notes in the brine. There’s nothing but cabbage, salt, and water on the ingredient list, but the ‘kraut has a surprising depth of flavor. There are both sweet and sour notes to the ‘kraut, but it is balanced by the aforementioned funk. The cabbage is in long, super-thin spaghetti-like strands, which makes for pretty presentation and messy eating. I also like eating this sauerkraut straight up, but it could also hold its own on a reuben.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://bubbies.com/sauerkraut\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Bubbies Sauerkraut\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98255\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"Bubbies sauerkraut.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1354\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98255\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-400x282.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-800x564.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-1440x1016.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-1400x987.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-1180x832.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-960x677.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bubbies sauerkraut. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Bubbies’ sauerkraut is extra-crisp and mild in flavor.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1387\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98256\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-400x289.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-800x578.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-1440x1040.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-1400x1011.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-1180x852.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-960x694.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bubbies’ sauerkraut is extra-crisp and mild in flavor. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bubbies got its start in the kosher pickle business, but has since added a traditionally fermented sauerkraut to its line-up.

The thin shreds are extra-crisp, and have a mild fermented funk. There are sour notes, but remarkably, you can still taste the cabbage. I would recommend Bubbies, like Farmhouse, for any sauerkraut newbies. While it isn’t quite as interesting to eat on its own, it would be a great sauerkraut for multipurpose cooking and toppings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://pickledplanet.com/our-products\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Pickled Planet Great Plain Raw Sauerkraut\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98261\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"Pickled Planet sauerkraut.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1367\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98261\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-400x285.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-800x570.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-1440x1025.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-1400x997.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-1180x840.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-960x684.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pickled Planet sauerkraut. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98262\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Pickled Planet’s sauerkraut is intense in flavor.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1442\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98262\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-800x601.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-1440x1082.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-1400x1051.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-1180x886.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-960x721.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pickled Planet’s sauerkraut is intense in flavor. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pickled Planet is an Ashland, Oregon-based company, and their labeling fits its origins; you can tell the ferments are made by alternative health nuts. Its kraut has a much stronger flavor than its smell. It is intensely sour and yeasty. In fact, my first reaction was to dismiss the ‘kraut as over-fermented, but as I kept eating, the flavor began to grow on me. Because of its strength, Pickled Planet would hold up well to cooking; it would likely be delicious in choucroute garnie (a braised sausage and sauerkraut dish). Don’t, however, feed this raw ‘kraut to picky friends.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.culturedpickleshop.com/products.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Cultured Organic Raw Vintage Kraut\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98257\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"Cultured Organic sauerkraut.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1342\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98257\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar-400x280.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar-800x559.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar-1440x1007.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar-1400x979.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar-1180x825.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-in-jar-960x671.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cultured Organic sauerkraut. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98258\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Cultured’s sauerkraut includes slices of green apple, caraway seeds, and juniper berries.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1383\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98258\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate-400x288.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate-800x576.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate-1440x1037.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate-1400x1008.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate-1180x850.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/cultured-on-plate-960x692.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cultured’s sauerkraut includes slices of green apple, caraway seeds, and juniper berries. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Cultured is the smallest company selling raw sauerkraut in the Bay. The company is based in Berkeley, and it only sells through farmers’ markets and Berkeley Bowl. It is, however, making the most creative ferments around. Their most plain sauerkraut has green apple, caraway, and juniper berries in addition to the cabbage, so that’s what I’ve tasted here. The ‘kraut gives off a strong apple smell, which is a little surprising but not unpleasant. The cabbage itself is crisp and crunchy, with a very strong fermented funk. There’s little in the way of tang, and I couldn’t taste any of the caraway or juniper. I wasn’t particularly excited about this brand, but people who prefer intense flavors may like it. At $10 for 16-ounces, this is the most expensive sauerkraut on the list.

Unlike the other ‘krauts, Wildbrine uses chopped cabbage, which helps it to retain a distinctive crunch.

It’s quite easy to do — and I’ll be sharing my methods in a DIY recipe next week — but it is easy to be tempted by the wide assortment of ‘krauts available at grocery stores these days. Even at traditional grocery stores like Lucky’s, you can find true raw sauerkrauts, often from more than one brand. Before tackling a recipe, I wanted to suss out the different varieties I could find in the Bay Area.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I was surprised to find that every sauerkraut I tried was distinctive. Each sauerkraut maker tends to put its own spin on the product. Even amongst the plain options (just cabbage and salt), textures and levels of fermentation vary, so the end result is different. Other brands add an aromatic or two, from traditional caraway to more assertive garlic. One even threw in apple slices for a touch of sweetness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There were really no losers in this taste test — a good sauerkraut tends to be in the eyes of the beholder.

Opening the pouch (Farmhouse Culture packs its ferments in a breathable bag to allow any gasses released from the ferment to escape) reveals a pleasant anise-y aroma. The thin shreds of cabbage have a crisp-tender texture and a balanced sour tang. There’s little in the way of the yeasty fermentation flavor that accompanies longer ferments, making Farmhouse Culture a fantastic introductory sauerkraut. I’ve been eating it straight out the pouch as a snack, but it would be equally good on a grilled sausage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sonomabrinery.com/products.html\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Sonoma Brinery Raw Sauerkraut Traditional\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98263\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"Sonoma Brinery sauerkraut.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1342\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98263\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-400x280.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-800x559.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-1440x1007.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-1400x979.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-1180x825.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-in-jar-960x671.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonoma Brinery sauerkraut. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98264\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Sonoma Brinery has a surprising depth of flavor for its short ingredient list.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1456\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98264\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-400x303.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-800x607.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-1440x1092.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-1400x1062.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-1180x895.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/sonoma-brinery-on-plate-960x728.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sonoma Brinery has a surprising depth of flavor for its short ingredient list. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Here is the sauerkraut you’re most likely to find at your neighborhood grocery store. Sonoma Brinery has done a very good job getting onto the shelves at stores like Lucky’s and Andronico’s, in addition to health and specialty food stores like Whole Foods, Bi-Rite, and Berkeley Bowl. It’s also the cheapest on the shelf by almost half. (It is not organic, unlike most raw ‘krauts.) Sonoma Brinery’s sauerkraut is on the stronger side; it’s not super funky, but it definitely has yeast flavor notes in the brine. There’s nothing but cabbage, salt, and water on the ingredient list, but the ‘kraut has a surprising depth of flavor. There are both sweet and sour notes to the ‘kraut, but it is balanced by the aforementioned funk. The cabbage is in long, super-thin spaghetti-like strands, which makes for pretty presentation and messy eating. I also like eating this sauerkraut straight up, but it could also hold its own on a reuben.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://bubbies.com/sauerkraut\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Bubbies Sauerkraut\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98255\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"Bubbies sauerkraut.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1354\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98255\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-400x282.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-800x564.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-1440x1016.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-1400x987.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-1180x832.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-in-jar-960x677.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bubbies sauerkraut. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98256\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Bubbies’ sauerkraut is extra-crisp and mild in flavor.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1387\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98256\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-400x289.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-800x578.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-1440x1040.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-1400x1011.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-1180x852.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/bubbies-on-plate-960x694.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bubbies’ sauerkraut is extra-crisp and mild in flavor. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Bubbies got its start in the kosher pickle business, but has since added a traditionally fermented sauerkraut to its line-up. Like Sonoma Brinery, Bubbies has a minimal ingredient list. The ‘kraut has a mildly sweet smell; you can hardly tell you’ve opened up a jar of fermented cabbage. The thin shreds are extra-crisp, and have a mild fermented funk. There are sour notes, but remarkably, you can still taste the cabbage. I would recommend Bubbies, like Farmhouse, for any sauerkraut newbies. While it isn’t quite as interesting to eat on its own, it would be a great sauerkraut for multipurpose cooking and toppings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://pickledplanet.com/our-products\" target=\"_blank\">\u003cstrong>Pickled Planet Great Plain Raw Sauerkraut\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98261\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar.jpg\" alt=\"Pickled Planet sauerkraut.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1367\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98261\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-400x285.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-800x570.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-1440x1025.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-1400x997.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-1180x840.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-in-jar-960x684.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pickled Planet sauerkraut. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_98262\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate.jpg\" alt=\"Pickled Planet’s sauerkraut is intense in flavor.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1442\" class=\"size-full wp-image-98262\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-400x300.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-800x601.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-1440x1082.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-1400x1051.jpg 1400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-1180x886.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2015/07/pickled-planet-on-plate-960x721.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pickled Planet’s sauerkraut is intense in flavor. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Pickled Planet is an Ashland, Oregon-based company, and their labeling fits its origins; you can tell the ferments are made by alternative health nuts.

In fact, my first reaction was to dismiss the ‘kraut as over-fermented, but as I kept eating, the flavor began to grow on me. Because of its strength, Pickled Planet would hold up well to cooking; it would likely be delicious in choucroute garnie (a braised sausage and sauerkraut dish).

The company is based in Berkeley, and it only sells through farmers’ markets and Berkeley Bowl. It is, however, making the most creative ferments around. Their most plain sauerkraut has green apple, caraway, and juniper berries in addition to the cabbage, so that’s what I’ve tasted here. The ‘kraut gives off a strong apple smell, which is a little surprising but not unpleasant. The cabbage itself is crisp and crunchy, with a very strong fermented funk. There’s little in the way of tang, and I couldn’t taste any of the caraway or juniper. I wasn’t particularly excited about this brand, but people who prefer intense flavors may like it. At $10 for 16-ounces, this is the most expensive sauerkraut on the list.

Unlike the other ‘krauts, Wildbrine uses chopped cabbage, which helps it to retain a distinctive crunch.

I know I said that some of them were quite good — and they still are. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the thing: it is far, far cheaper to make bone broth at home. Most of the store bought bone broths in my tasting were priced above $10 per quart. Homemade bone broth? That’ll cost you roughly the same amount of money for four to six quarts. And that’s if you start with all brand-new bones. If you start a collection of leftover bones in your freezer, you can cut that cost down even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making broth at home doesn’t just save you money, either. It also allows you to control the flavor and consistency of your broth. I, for one, don’t like drinking straight beef broth. Instead, I prefer a mix of beef and chicken bones for a less meaty flavor. Like super beefy broth? Forget my preferences and make it with 100% cow bones. I like to also add some onion and carrot for background sweetness and depth, but you don’t have to. Keep it simple with just bones and water, and see how you like the result. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I make bone broth, I think of it as meat stock. (It is, in fact, just a meat stock rebranded as a trendy, expensive drink. But I’m not going to rant on that today. You can read it again here.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108099\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot.jpg\" alt=\"Carrots and onions add a touch of sweetness and complexity to the bone broth.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108099\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/carrots-and-onion-in-pot-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Carrots and onions add a touch of sweetness and complexity to the bone broth. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To begin, I gently sweat diced onions and carrots in a little bit of oil, just until they’re softened and sweet.

For the best texture and the best opportunity to get collagen and gelatin into the broth, you’ll also want to add bones with cartilage and connective tissue and all that goodness as well. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the beef bones, I like to use meaty knuckle bones. You can also use bones like oxtail or marrow (preferably with some meat still attached). Make sure they’re cut into somewhat smallish pieces to expose any marrow inside the bones.

They’re easy to collect if you make a habit of purchasing whole chickens and cutting them into smaller portions at home.

But if you want deeper, richer flavor, you should roast the bones before simmering. Simply spread them out in a roasting pan and pop them in a 400°F oven until they’re deeply browned, around 1 hour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once you’ve got all the bones, vegetables and water combined, bring the whole mess to a full boil over high heat.

If you start with roasted bones, there’ll still be some fat but not nearly as much. I’d recommend skimming as much of it off as possible before proceeding. You can save the fat later to use as a cap on top of the broth if you’d like (it’ll keep it fresher longer), or just toss it. Be judicious, though — while a little bit of fat can be nice, greasy broth is pretty gross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I like to reduce the broth a little further before storing it. This step will concentrate the gelatin, collagen and any other minerals in the broth. It also, obviously, reduces the final volume of the broth, making it easier to store. But if you’re happy with how the broth tastes now, you can skip this step.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bring the pot of strained broth to a rapid simmer and let it reduce for about an hour. It should reduce by about one-third in volume, leaving you with about four quarts broth. Remove the broth from the heat. If you’re going to be drinking the broth, you’ll likely want to season it now. Add salt to taste. If you’re using the broth for cooking, you may want to skip the salt for now or keep the levels low. It’s much easier, after all, to add more salt as you’re cooking than to correct for over-seasoning. Let the broth cool to room temperature after seasoning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_108106\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing.jpg\" alt=\"Reducing the strained broth further concentrates flavor and nutritional goodies.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" class=\"size-full wp-image-108106\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing-800x533.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing-768x512.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing-1440x960.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2016/03/reducing-960x640.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Reducing the strained broth further concentrates flavor and nutritional goodies. \u003ccite>(Kate Williams)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Depending on the speed with which you go through broth, you’ll likely want to freeze some or all of your broth.

I know I said that some of them were quite good — and they still are. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But here’s the thing: it is far, far cheaper to make bone broth at home. Most of the store bought bone broths in my tasting were priced above $10 per quart. Homemade bone broth? That’ll cost you roughly the same amount of money for four to six quarts. And that’s if you start with all brand-new bones. If you start a collection of leftover bones in your freezer, you can cut that cost down even more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Making broth at home doesn’t just save you money, either. It also allows you to control the flavor and consistency of your broth. I, for one, don’t like drinking straight beef broth. Instead, I prefer a mix of beef and chicken bones for a less meaty flavor. Like super beefy broth? Forget my preferences and make it with 100% cow bones. I like to also add some onion and carrot for background sweetness and depth, but you don’t have to. Keep it simple with just bones and water, and see how you like the result. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When I make bone broth, I think of it as meat stock.

Be judicious, though — while a little bit of fat can be nice, greasy broth is pretty gross.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Next, I like to reduce the broth a little further before storing it.

It should reduce by about one-third in volume, leaving you with about four quarts broth. Remove the broth from the heat. If you’re going to be drinking the broth, you’ll likely want to season it now. Add salt to taste. If you’re using the broth for cooking, you may want to skip the salt for now or keep the levels low. It’s much easier, after all, to add more salt as you’re cooking than to correct for over-seasoning.
