The region’s commitment to agriculture may explain why Hamburg leads Germany’s count of vegan restaurants. But the city’s history as one of Europe’s largest ports also pushes the culinary boundaries of the city. Voth brings a commitment to international flavors and an ethos of cooking with zero waste to the cuisine at Gaumenkitzel.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The crispy, pan-fried veggie cake is a throwback to a style of cooking that any maker can relate to. Carrots and parsnips, plucked from the garden hours earlier are hand-mixed with house-milled oats and an egg from a local coop. Voth’s version leaves out the traditional spelt, making the dish lighter and free from gluten. Full-fat butter and olive oil add great flavor and important nutrients. Updated for today’s sensibilities, this veggie cake is impeccably sourced and insanely fresh, making it as relevant today as to anyone living in Hamburg in 1914.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Walzwerk\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/381+S+Van+Ness+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94103/@37.767254,-122.419648,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e24108b726d:0x8dd57a2077a23b6b!8m2!3d37.7672498!4d-122.4174593\">381 South Van Ness, \u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/place/381+S+Van+Ness+Ave,+San+Francisco,+CA+94103/@37.767254,-122.419648,17z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x808f7e24108b726d:0x8dd57a2077a23b6b!8m2!3d37.7672498!4d-122.4174593\">San Francisco\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_130866\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-full wp-image-130866\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt.jpg\" alt=\"Vegetarian schnitzel at Walzwerk.\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-160x90.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-1020x574.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-1200x675.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-960x540.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-240x135.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-375x211.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/24/2018/10/Walzwerk-photo-credit-Christiane-Schmidt-520x293.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Vegetarian schnitzel at Walzwerk. \u003ccite>(Christiane Schmidt)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Slice the vegetarian schnitzel at \u003ca href=\"http://www.walzwerk.com/\">Walzwerk\u003c/a> in half and marvel at its vibrant purple and orange colors.

The texture is just right for Dairy Queen/Foster's Freeze nostalgia, but the two daily flavors on offer--like peanut butter and roasted banana, salted caramel and coffee, even plain old vanilla and chocolate--are much, much better.

Surabian’s family fled their homeland at the turn of the last century. They moved to Massachusetts, and then to Fresno. Times were so hard then, she remembers some Armenian mothers made pants for their children out of flour sacks. Surabian herself started working at age 14 or 15, canning peaches for Del Monte in Oakland. She settled in San Francisco in 1938.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After peaking under numerous dish towels, Surabian eventually became an expert at making phyllo dough, as well as pie crusts, soups and meat fillings: all the labor-intensive staples so key to Armenian cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are the \u003cem>manti\u003c/em>, tortellini or wonton-like dumplings, filled with minced lamb and served in chicken or tomato broth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is \u003cem>kufta\u003c/em> -- “A meatball inside of a meatball, which is great,” says Elise Kazajian in the kitchen. Some version of this basic concept is found \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/recipes/article/Meatballs-Mideast-origins-4853870.php#src=fb\">throughout the Mediterranean\u003c/a>, typically involving ground lamb or beef mixed together with onions, parsley, salt and spices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[gallery link=\"file\" ids=\"72249,72251,72248\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of my personal favorites is \u003cem>lahmajoon\u003c/em>, perhaps best described as an Armenian thin crust pizza, topped with minced meat (most commonly beef and lamb) and spices. I’ve eaten more than my fair share growing up in Los Angeles County, home to numerous bustling markets in Hollywood and downtown Glendale. The pickings are slimmer the further north you go. Many Bay Area Armenians hankering for the taste of tradition will travel all the way to Fresno to visit \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/ninas-bakery-fresno\">Nina’s Bakery\u003c/a>, famous for all sorts of things, but especially lahmajoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are vegetables on the table, mind you: beet salad, tomato and green bean salad, olives, and a rice pilaf with beet stalks. Kazanjian notes, “We use everything on the vegetable, sort of like the Chinese eat. You know, even the oink on the pig.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food reflects a time when most Armenians were poor, and engaged in manual labor, like farming. It’s a diet rich in fat, carbs and sugar -- the biggest professional hazard faced by 32-year-old Father Mesrop Ash, who is regularly invited to meals like this one. I asked him how it is he’s not 300 pounds. He bursts into laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I often think they feel a little bit ashamed when they see me next to priests who are a lot heavier,” Father Ash admits. “They say ‘We’re not feeding this guy enough!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_72237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/10/DSCN4318-600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/10/DSCN4318-600.jpg\" alt='Father Mesrop Ash gives grace before a bountiful table filled by Elise Kazanjian. \"In peace let us eat this meal, which has been given to us as a gift by God.

For the benefit of English speakers, he explains, “The prayer that we say before we eat roughly translates to 'In peace let us eat this meal, which has been given to us as a gift by God. And blessed is the Lord, and all of his gifts. Amen.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Western Armenian-Americans, Father Ash is descended from those who fled the Turks in the early 1900s. Fresno is still predominantly Western Armenian, but the coastal populations in the Bay Area and Southern California are more of a mix. Father Ash’s wife Annie, for instance, hails from Beirut. Many Armenians fled instability in the Middle East in the 1970s. The next wave followed the fall of the Soviet Union; the one after that, the conflict in \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagorno-Karabakh#War_and_secession\">Nagorno-Karabakh\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Father Ash notes, “Over time, of course, as the world shaped itself in different ways, people made their way to California, which became the safe haven of Armenians from around the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Western and Eastern Armenians speak different dialects, use different names for the same dishes - and make those dishes differently. Pilafs, for instance, vary widely. Some use dried fruits, some nuts, some bulgur instead of rice. What they all share in common is the challenge of keeping their language alive in America. That’s where food is at least the start of the conversation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_72240\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/10/DSCN4232-1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/10/DSCN4232-1000.jpg\" alt=\"No Armenian table is complete without a selection of fruits and nuts candied in thick, sweet syrup.

Surabian’s family fled their homeland at the turn of the last century. They moved to Massachusetts, and then to Fresno. Times were so hard then, she remembers some Armenian mothers made pants for their children out of flour sacks. Surabian herself started working at age 14 or 15, canning peaches for Del Monte in Oakland. She settled in San Francisco in 1938.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After peaking under numerous dish towels, Surabian eventually became an expert at making phyllo dough, as well as pie crusts, soups and meat fillings: all the labor-intensive staples so key to Armenian cuisine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are the \u003cem>manti\u003c/em>, tortellini or wonton-like dumplings, filled with minced lamb and served in chicken or tomato broth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is \u003cem>kufta\u003c/em> -- “A meatball inside of a meatball, which is great,” says Elise Kazajian in the kitchen.

I’ve eaten more than my fair share growing up in Los Angeles County, home to numerous bustling markets in Hollywood and downtown Glendale. The pickings are slimmer the further north you go. Many Bay Area Armenians hankering for the taste of tradition will travel all the way to Fresno to visit \u003ca href=\"http://www.yelp.com/biz/ninas-bakery-fresno\">Nina’s Bakery\u003c/a>, famous for all sorts of things, but especially lahmajoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are vegetables on the table, mind you: beet salad, tomato and green bean salad, olives, and a rice pilaf with beet stalks. Kazanjian notes, “We use everything on the vegetable, sort of like the Chinese eat. You know, even the oink on the pig.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The food reflects a time when most Armenians were poor, and engaged in manual labor, like farming. It’s a diet rich in fat, carbs and sugar -- the biggest professional hazard faced by 32-year-old Father Mesrop Ash, who is regularly invited to meals like this one. I asked him how it is he’s not 300 pounds. He bursts into laughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I often think they feel a little bit ashamed when they see me next to priests who are a lot heavier,” Father Ash admits. “They say ‘We’re not feeding this guy enough!’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_72237\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/10/DSCN4318-600.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/10/DSCN4318-600.jpg\" alt='Father Mesrop Ash gives grace before a bountiful table filled by Elise Kazanjian. \"In peace let us eat this meal, which has been given to us as a gift by God.

For the benefit of English speakers, he explains, “The prayer that we say before we eat roughly translates to 'In peace let us eat this meal, which has been given to us as a gift by God. And blessed is the Lord, and all of his gifts. Amen.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like many Western Armenian-Americans, Father Ash is descended from those who fled the Turks in the early 1900s. Fresno is still predominantly Western Armenian, but the coastal populations in the Bay Area and Southern California are more of a mix. Father Ash’s wife Annie, for instance, hails from Beirut. Many Armenians fled instability in the Middle East in the 1970s. The next wave followed the fall of the Soviet Union; the one after that, the conflict in \u003ca href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nagorno-Karabakh#War_and_secession\">Nagorno-Karabakh\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Father Ash notes, “Over time, of course, as the world shaped itself in different ways, people made their way to California, which became the safe haven of Armenians from around the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Western and Eastern Armenians speak different dialects, use different names for the same dishes - and make those dishes differently. Pilafs, for instance, vary widely. Some use dried fruits, some nuts, some bulgur instead of rice. What they all share in common is the challenge of keeping their language alive in America.

Happy Halloween! Pumpkin patches are open for business, black cats, ghosts, and sugar skulls are decorating every shop window, and crazily colorful winter squash are spilling their stripy, curvy glory across produce stands and farmers' market tables everywhere. Being a Libra/Scorpio with a late-October birthday, I've always had an extra-special--all right, downright personal--appreciation for the seasonal joys of this time of year. Apples fresh off the tree, cider pressing, crisp air and deep blue skies, the vivid sunset hues of persimmons, pomegranates, eggplants, and peppers at the market, the slippery squish of pumpkin seeds scraped from a jack o' lantern: somehow it all links up with the promise of birthday cake, presents, and the imminent delight of dressing up for Halloween.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But you don't have to have a October birthday (even though it \u003cem>is\u003c/em> the best time to born, as all your Libra/Scorpio buddies will agree) to love this time of year, especially now that our last-gasp heat wave has given way to cooler days and the promise of rain. It's soup weather, sweater weather, pumpkin-latte weather, and yes, homemade doughnut weather! \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area has had a renaissance of doughnut vendors of late, what with the continued success of \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/dynamodonut\">Dynamo Donut and Coffee\u003c/a> and the recent Oakland openings of both \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/donutsavant\">Donut Savant\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://www.facebook.com/DoughnutDolly\">Doughnut Dolly\u003c/a>. Having just finished writing a doughnut cookbook, \"World of Doughnuts,\" which will be published in spring 2013, I've had doughnuts on my mind (and filling my kitchen) lately, and I can tell you, making doughnuts at home is \u003cem>no big deal.\u003c/em> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, deep-frying, eeek! But you know what you need to fry? Not much! A cast-iron pot that's at least 4 inches deep (a Dutch oven is ideal), a couple quarts of vegetable oil, and a deep-frying or candy thermometer (any kind, as long as it's easy to read and registers up to 400°F). And then, a slotted spoon to take out the doughnuts, a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and a bunch of doughnut-hungry friends, since anything fried is at its best when it's fresh. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pot of oil is not going to spontaneously combust, as long as you use general kitchen common sense. Never leave the room with oil heating on the stove. Depending on your stove, it can take 10-12 minutes to bring a pot of oil up to the correct temperature. Check the oil's temperature frequently with your thermometer, and adjust the heat accordingly. Just washed sticky batter off your hands? Make sure your hands are absolutely dry before you get near that hot oil, as even a drop of water can make it sputter and spit in your face. Once you start frying, it shouldn't take longer than 2 to 3 minutes to finish a batch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These pumpkin doughnut holes taste like fall to me, especially with some cold or hot mulled cider to wash them down. (Look for Rainbow Orchards' delicious, freshly pressed apple cider at farmers' markets around the Bay Area.) While you could use canned pumpkin in these, you'll have more fun and get a tastier result using pumpkin or winter squash you roast and mash yourself. Butternut and Sunshine kabocha squash are my favorites, but any dense-fleshed, flavorful squash will do. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/squash1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2012/10/squash560.jpg\" alt=\"squash\" title=\"squash\" width=\"560\" height=\"420\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-50256\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cut the squash in half lengthwise, then scrape out any strings and seeds. Place the squash face down on a lightly oiled or parchment- or Silpat-lined baking sheet and bake at 350°F for approximately 45-60 minutes, until the squash is very soft. When squash is cool enough to handle, scrape out flesh, discarding skin. Pile squash into a colander or sieve and let any excess liquid drain out for an hour or so. Some squash is really wet; others, not at all. It really depends on the squash, its growing conditions, and how long it's been off the vine. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once squash has drained, it's time to make it smooth. The best way to do this is by cranking it through the fine disk of a food mill. Unlike a food processor, which just pulverizes everything, the food mill catches and separates any errant seeds, skin, and strings while quickly turning your squash into a velvety puree. You can also push your squash through a metal mesh strainer with a wooden spoon. Same effect, but it takes longer, and mashing, pushing, and scraping is less satisfying than cranking. Of course, you can just grab a potato masher or a wooden spoon and beat it smooth. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Any extra can go into soup, or be used as a base for \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/tag/pumpkin-bread/\">pumpkin bread\u003c/a>.

Every week, Pen talks to movers and shakers about how the Bay Area shapes what they create, and how they shape the place we call home.","imageSrc":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Rightnowish-Podcast-Tile-500x500-1.jpg","imageAlt":"KQED Rightnowish with Pendarvis Harshaw","officialWebsiteLink":"/podcasts/rightnowish","meta":{"site":"arts","source":"kqed","order":"5"},"link":"/podcasts/rightnowish","subscribe":{"npr":"https://www.npr.org/podcasts/721590300/rightnowish","rss":"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/programs/rightnowish/feed/podcast","apple":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rightnowish/id1482187648","stitcher":"https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/kqed/rightnowish","google":"https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5tZWdhcGhvbmUuZm0vS1FJTkMxMjU5MTY3NDc4","spotify":"https://open.spotify.com/show/7kEJuafTzTVan7B78ttz1I"}},"jerrybrown":{"id":"jerrybrown","title":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown","tagline":"Lessons from a lifetime in politics","info":"The Political Mind of Jerry Brown brings listeners the wisdom of the former Governor, Mayor, and presidential candidate.
