Photo: Paulette Phlipot\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the perks of being a food writer is that every few days or so a new cookbook lands on my doorstep. One of the burdens of being a food writer is that every few days or so a new cookbook lands on my doorstep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trust me: With these often unsolicited gifts comes guilt. There are the cookbooks that go straight in the bag destined for the public library sale. Sometimes a publicist doesn't know my work well enough to surmise that I'm unlikely to cover, say, the latest in cupcake trends, or 101 ways to cook with lard, or a weighty tome on D.I.Y. butchering. There are audiences for all these books -- and writers who want to cover them -- but they're just not for me.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there are the cookbooks destined to collect dust on a shelf piled high with many other food books, despite my best intentions. Some I won't ever open. Sad but true. Eventually, these books will make their way to the public library sale pile as well. Many others, of course, I will reference in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/10/24/blood-bones-bombshells/\">roundups\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2011/11/02/michael-pollan-new-food-rules-but-no-need-to-be-neurotic/\">profiles\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://civileats.com/2010/09/30/vanessa-barrington-the-d-i-y-delicious-diva/\">reviews\u003c/a>. And yet, even with some of these cookbooks, including well-written prize-winners in the mix, I still may never make a single recipe from their pages. My bad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And then there are the cookbooks that turn up on my front porch and I couldn't be more delighted to welcome them into my home like, well, a good friend. \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://ripecookbook.com/\">Ripe: A Fresh Colorful Approach to Fruits and Vegetables\u003c/a>\u003c/em> (Running Press, $25, 312 pages) is my kind of book. Not just because I write a blog with a pro-produce focus called \u003ca href=\"http://lettuceeatkale.com/\">Lettuce Eat Kale\u003c/a>. Not just because the author, \u003ca href=\"http://cherylsternmanrule.com/\">Cheryl Sternman Rule\u003c/a>, is one of the first friends I made in the food writing world when I switched to that beat three years ago. And not just because, when I -- a modest home cook -- flipped through the book's brightly-hued pages my first thought on many of those 75 recipes was: \"I can do that.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there were, of course, people to interview, stories to write, and after-school schlepping to be done and still that color-saturated cookbook's recipes had not found their way into my kitchen.

While she clearly adores farmers' market finds, Cheryl also knows her way around a spice rack -- flavor pairings with herbs and spices make all the difference in many of her unfussy food ideas. For instance, it's those licorice notes -- toasted fennel seeds and tarragon -- that make that Cucumber Halloumi Salad sing.

These sharp, tart little beauties featured in a kick-arse drink, a Kumquart Sidecar (cognac + orange liqueur + fruit + ice + sugared rim), a salad, and a simple dessert with blueberries. While she clearly adores farmers' market finds, Cheryl also knows her way around a spice rack -- flavor pairings with herbs and spices make all the difference in many of her unfussy food ideas. For instance, it's those licorice notes -- toasted fennel seeds and tarragon -- that make that Cucumber Halloumi Salad sing.

Oh, and in between this reporter devoured her almost 300-page coming-of-age story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is an indisputable page turner, but let's dispose of one major beef up front: The last section -- \"Butter\" -- feels rushed and not ready for prime time, in large part because the central concern -- the unraveling of her lonely marriage -- was not resolved in real time. No matter, the publisher wanted that memoir hitting the shelves pronto and mass marketing waits for no one. (Hamilton said Thursday that she's since addressed the marriage matter -- in life and on the page in an epilogue for the paperback edition, available in January.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearly, the woman has a talent with pots and pens. The owner of \u003ca href=\"http://www.prunerestaurant.com/\">Prune\u003c/a>, a wildly popular little bistro in Manhattan's East Village, (the restaurant's title comes from a childhood nickname), Hamilton recently won a \u003ca href=\"http://www.jbfawards.com/2011/nominees.php\">James Beard Award\u003c/a> for best New York City chef after receiving nominations for the coveted title three years running. (Though \u003ca href=\"http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2070677,00.html\">some grumbled\u003c/a> that the gal who serves Triscuits and canned sardines at the bar won more for what she represents than what she cooks.) She's written about the chef's life for \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2011/05/gabrielle-hamilton-family-meal\">Bon Appetit\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2011/05/gabrielle-hamilton-family-meal\">\u003c/a>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/a-rogue-chef-tells-all\">Food & Wine\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/Gabrielle-Hamilton-Open-House\">Saveur\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, where her sister \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/02/dining/02canal.html\">Melissa Hamilton\u003c/a> was an editor, and appeared in six volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Best-Food-Writing-Holly-Hughes/dp/073821518X\">\u003cem>Best Food Writing\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.prunerestaurant.com/\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/10/prune-screenshot560.jpg\" alt=\"Prune restaurant\" title=\"Prune restaurant\" width=\"560\" height=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34676\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamilton has worked hard and overcome obstacles to get to the top of her game, in two creative fields no less. She survived a largely feral childhood followed by a drug-fueled, unsupervised adolescence, turned to cooking to find family, home, hope, structure, and salvation and wound up, on a whim, running a restaurant of her own. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's not interested in glamorizing either pursuit. If anything she has a tendency to martyrdom: Hamilton recounts cleaning human excrement off the restaurant stoop and deposing of a dead rat riddled with maggots found on the back steps. She turns hundreds of eggs on the breakfast line, while major-league pregnant and, later, with babies clinging to her breast. Her autobiography, a decade in the making, is scribbled on brown paper between services, on subway rides, and while putting those babes to bed. There is never enough time or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professionally, Hamilton is a big talent and a huge success. Her personal life, as she reveals in her book, is a bit messier. Estranged from her mother for decades, she identifies as lesbian but ditched the sisterhood for a clandestine affair with an Italian man she ends up marrying. He is the father of her two boys, though from the beginning of their coupling trouble is brewing. For starters, Hamilton seems more in love with his mother and summer visits to the Italian clan's compound than her actual husband. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These personal revelations would seem meaty subjects for seasoned interviewer Kim Severson in her City Arts & Lectures discussion with Hamilton. But Severson -- now the \u003cem>New York Times'\u003c/em> Atlanta bureau chief who appears to keep her hand in the food beat and her heart in San Francisco -- was in a tricky situation. Just days before Hamilton landed in town the \u003cem>New York Post\u003c/em> had dropped \u003ca href=\"http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/prune_chef_in_secret_affair_W65bU4XOt1FWNlYe9xQF9L\">a bombshell about the celebrity chef's love life\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, who Hamilton sleeps with is really nobody else's business, except that her memoir includes revelations about her adventures in the sack as well as an apron. And Hamilton talks a lot about the value of being honest and authentic in the kitchen and on the page. To top it off, the \u003cem>New York Post\u003c/em> item on Hamilton was \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.grubstreet.com/2011/10/amidst_rumored_scandal_nyc_che.html\">recycled in the local food media\u003c/a> the day before her appearance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Severson gave a nod to the matter early on in the chat: \"I'm going to ask you the question on everyone's minds, [theatrical pause] How do you keep your skin so dewy?\" That set the tone for an evening of mostly softballs from Severson, who made a running gag about not being \"bitter\" that Hamilton's memoir was a better read than her own, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://kimseverson.com/index.php/site/books/\">Spoon Fed\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Times\u003c/em> staffer did try some shock value, noting the book's unusual intimacy, which a friend described to Severson this way: \"I feel like I know every fold in her vagina.\" But she quickly found herself in the role of comforting colleague, after an earthquake literally shook the subdued Hamilton, who looked like she wanted to bolt from the stage when things started rocking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few sips of wine later, however, Hamilton regained her composure and temporarily shut down Severson, as she meandered through her self-described cliched questions. Case in point: \"What's the last taste you would want in your mouth before you die?\" Surely not the first time Hamilton's fielded that query.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought we were going to have an intelligent conversation about writing and you want to know if I keep lube in my bedside table,\" Hamilton scolded at one point. Note to \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityarts.net/radio.hunt.html\">Linda Hunt\u003c/a>: Not all KQED subscribers may be amused by the repartee between these two, who wondered if any couple, regardless of orientation, can keep sex alive in a long-term relationship -- though, it must be said, the crowd at Herbst Theater ate it up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the audience Q&A fans gushed about how much they loved Hamilton's book, even if they hadn't finished it, and her restaurant, even if they hadn't eaten there yet. In such an environment, this reporter felt it would have been a hostile act to ask the writer-chef if she cared to comment about the recent allegations in the press. Instead, she opted for the more discreet email follow up to both Hamilton and Severson, neither of whom jumped at the opportunity to explain why the subject wasn't broached on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardly surprising. Hamilton made it clear at her book signing at Omnivore that she's selective about what aspects of her private life the public get to know about through her writing. Her mantra: If it's not in there, it's not tellable -- readers don't get all of her. Fair enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's this kind of contradiction -- the tell-all that keeps secrets -- that makes Hamilton such a fascinating creature. She's full of inconsistencies -- aren't we all? -- only hers are on display for all the world to see and hear. Hamilton often says she loathes being called \"a female chef\" and yet when TV came calling looking for just such a demographic, she jumped at the chance to take one for the team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly she thinks the term \"food writer\" is demeaning; she's simply a chef who is also a scribe and cooking is what allowed her to come to the party. Yet, when asked what readers can expect next from the literary writer she responds: A cookbook. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the talk Hamilton mentions the moms at her sons' school, who she says look at her disdainfully as she drops off her kids. Her children eat poorly and often in the car on the way to school, she confesses. And yet, one can't help but get the impression that the 45-year-old looks down her nose at \u003cem>them\u003c/em>. Severson counters that perhaps the other moms are intimidated or awed by the successful chef with the best-selling memoir but Hamilton dismisses this notion out of hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Beard Award is silly, Hamilton says, until she wins it, and then it's the most important culinary honor a chef can earn. Thankfully she has a sense of humor about all this flip-flopping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jbfawards.com/2011/nominees.php\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/10/james-beard-hamilton560.jpg\" alt=\"Gabrielle Hamilton winning James Beard Award \" title=\"Gabrielle Hamilton winning James Beard Award \" width=\"560\" height=\"371\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34680\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One gets the sense that Hamilton doesn't give a hoot if you like her, agree with her opinions, or want to read her book. It's what makes her intriguing and may well be an essential part of why she's so talented on the page and in the kitchen. She's just doing her own thing and not seeking anyone else's praise or approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the course of the 90-minute City Arts & Lectures dialogue she laments the fetishization of food (the cult of farmers' markets, home cooks with \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/10/23/141611844/self-starters-eat-up-slow-cooking-technique\">sous vide\u003c/a> machines), discussions of gender issues in restaurant kitchens (snoozeville), and the plethora of social media around food culture. Reading about food online, she says, is like eating at McDonalds. \"You end up feeling hungry, undernourished, tired, and full of self loathing.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's also down on the rise of reality TV cooking shows, even though she's had her own turn in front of the camera. (She slayed \u003ca href=\"http://www.bobbyflay.com/\">Bobby Flay\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodnetwork.com/iron-chef-america/index.html\">\"Iron Chef\"\u003c/a>). \"It's starting to suck for all of us, since TV isn't about cooking it's about entertaining,\" says Hamilton. \"It's impossible to be quiet or subtle with food on television because actual cooking is really quite dull and repetitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plans for a movie based on the memoir are already in the works, Hamilton told fans Thursday.

Oh, and in between this reporter devoured her almost 300-page coming-of-age story.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The book is an indisputable page turner, but let's dispose of one major beef up front: The last section -- \"Butter\" -- feels rushed and not ready for prime time, in large part because the central concern -- the unraveling of her lonely marriage -- was not resolved in real time. No matter, the publisher wanted that memoir hitting the shelves pronto and mass marketing waits for no one. (Hamilton said Thursday that she's since addressed the marriage matter -- in life and on the page in an epilogue for the paperback edition, available in January.) \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Clearly, the woman has a talent with pots and pens. The owner of \u003ca href=\"http://www.prunerestaurant.com/\">Prune\u003c/a>, a wildly popular little bistro in Manhattan's East Village, (the restaurant's title comes from a childhood nickname), Hamilton recently won a \u003ca href=\"http://www.jbfawards.com/2011/nominees.php\">James Beard Award\u003c/a> for best New York City chef after receiving nominations for the coveted title three years running. (Though \u003ca href=\"http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,2070677,00.html\">some grumbled\u003c/a> that the gal who serves Triscuits and canned sardines at the bar won more for what she represents than what she cooks.) She's written about the chef's life for \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2011/05/gabrielle-hamilton-family-meal\">Bon Appetit\u003c/a>\u003c/em>\u003ca href=\"http://www.bonappetit.com/magazine/2011/05/gabrielle-hamilton-family-meal\">\u003c/a>, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.foodandwine.com/articles/a-rogue-chef-tells-all\">Food & Wine\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, and \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.saveur.com/article/Kitchen/Gabrielle-Hamilton-Open-House\">Saveur\u003c/a>\u003c/em>, where her sister \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/02/dining/02canal.html\">Melissa Hamilton\u003c/a> was an editor, and appeared in six volumes of \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/Best-Food-Writing-Holly-Hughes/dp/073821518X\">\u003cem>Best Food Writing\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.prunerestaurant.com/\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/10/prune-screenshot560.jpg\" alt=\"Prune restaurant\" title=\"Prune restaurant\" width=\"560\" height=\"277\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34676\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hamilton has worked hard and overcome obstacles to get to the top of her game, in two creative fields no less. She survived a largely feral childhood followed by a drug-fueled, unsupervised adolescence, turned to cooking to find family, home, hope, structure, and salvation and wound up, on a whim, running a restaurant of her own. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's not interested in glamorizing either pursuit. If anything she has a tendency to martyrdom: Hamilton recounts cleaning human excrement off the restaurant stoop and deposing of a dead rat riddled with maggots found on the back steps. She turns hundreds of eggs on the breakfast line, while major-league pregnant and, later, with babies clinging to her breast. Her autobiography, a decade in the making, is scribbled on brown paper between services, on subway rides, and while putting those babes to bed. There is never enough time or sleep.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Professionally, Hamilton is a big talent and a huge success. Her personal life, as she reveals in her book, is a bit messier. Estranged from her mother for decades, she identifies as lesbian but ditched the sisterhood for a clandestine affair with an Italian man she ends up marrying. He is the father of her two boys, though from the beginning of their coupling trouble is brewing. For starters, Hamilton seems more in love with his mother and summer visits to the Italian clan's compound than her actual husband. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These personal revelations would seem meaty subjects for seasoned interviewer Kim Severson in her City Arts & Lectures discussion with Hamilton. But Severson -- now the \u003cem>New York Times'\u003c/em> Atlanta bureau chief who appears to keep her hand in the food beat and her heart in San Francisco -- was in a tricky situation. Just days before Hamilton landed in town the \u003cem>New York Post\u003c/em> had dropped \u003ca href=\"http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/prune_chef_in_secret_affair_W65bU4XOt1FWNlYe9xQF9L\">a bombshell about the celebrity chef's love life\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, who Hamilton sleeps with is really nobody else's business, except that her memoir includes revelations about her adventures in the sack as well as an apron. And Hamilton talks a lot about the value of being honest and authentic in the kitchen and on the page. To top it off, the \u003cem>New York Post\u003c/em> item on Hamilton was \u003ca href=\"http://sanfrancisco.grubstreet.com/2011/10/amidst_rumored_scandal_nyc_che.html\">recycled in the local food media\u003c/a> the day before her appearance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Severson gave a nod to the matter early on in the chat: \"I'm going to ask you the question on everyone's minds, [theatrical pause] How do you keep your skin so dewy?\" That set the tone for an evening of mostly softballs from Severson, who made a running gag about not being \"bitter\" that Hamilton's memoir was a better read than her own, \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://kimseverson.com/index.php/site/books/\">Spoon Fed\u003c/a>\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003cem>Times\u003c/em> staffer did try some shock value, noting the book's unusual intimacy, which a friend described to Severson this way: \"I feel like I know every fold in her vagina.\" But she quickly found herself in the role of comforting colleague, after an earthquake literally shook the subdued Hamilton, who looked like she wanted to bolt from the stage when things started rocking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few sips of wine later, however, Hamilton regained her composure and temporarily shut down Severson, as she meandered through her self-described cliched questions. Case in point: \"What's the last taste you would want in your mouth before you die?\" Surely not the first time Hamilton's fielded that query.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I thought we were going to have an intelligent conversation about writing and you want to know if I keep lube in my bedside table,\" Hamilton scolded at one point. Note to \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityarts.net/radio.hunt.html\">Linda Hunt\u003c/a>: Not all KQED subscribers may be amused by the repartee between these two, who wondered if any couple, regardless of orientation, can keep sex alive in a long-term relationship -- though, it must be said, the crowd at Herbst Theater ate it up. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the audience Q&A fans gushed about how much they loved Hamilton's book, even if they hadn't finished it, and her restaurant, even if they hadn't eaten there yet. In such an environment, this reporter felt it would have been a hostile act to ask the writer-chef if she cared to comment about the recent allegations in the press. Instead, she opted for the more discreet email follow up to both Hamilton and Severson, neither of whom jumped at the opportunity to explain why the subject wasn't broached on stage.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardly surprising. Hamilton made it clear at her book signing at Omnivore that she's selective about what aspects of her private life the public get to know about through her writing. Her mantra: If it's not in there, it's not tellable -- readers don't get all of her. Fair enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's this kind of contradiction -- the tell-all that keeps secrets -- that makes Hamilton such a fascinating creature. She's full of inconsistencies -- aren't we all? -- only hers are on display for all the world to see and hear. Hamilton often says she loathes being called \"a female chef\" and yet when TV came calling looking for just such a demographic, she jumped at the chance to take one for the team. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similarly she thinks the term \"food writer\" is demeaning; she's simply a chef who is also a scribe and cooking is what allowed her to come to the party. Yet, when asked what readers can expect next from the literary writer she responds: A cookbook. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the talk Hamilton mentions the moms at her sons' school, who she says look at her disdainfully as she drops off her kids. Her children eat poorly and often in the car on the way to school, she confesses. And yet, one can't help but get the impression that the 45-year-old looks down her nose at \u003cem>them\u003c/em>. Severson counters that perhaps the other moms are intimidated or awed by the successful chef with the best-selling memoir but Hamilton dismisses this notion out of hand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the Beard Award is silly, Hamilton says, until she wins it, and then it's the most important culinary honor a chef can earn. Thankfully she has a sense of humor about all this flip-flopping.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.jbfawards.com/2011/nominees.php\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/10/james-beard-hamilton560.jpg\" alt=\"Gabrielle Hamilton winning James Beard Award \" title=\"Gabrielle Hamilton winning James Beard Award \" width=\"560\" height=\"371\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-34680\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One gets the sense that Hamilton doesn't give a hoot if you like her, agree with her opinions, or want to read her book. It's what makes her intriguing and may well be an essential part of why she's so talented on the page and in the kitchen. She's just doing her own thing and not seeking anyone else's praise or approval.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During the course of the 90-minute City Arts & Lectures dialogue she laments the fetishization of food (the cult of farmers' markets, home cooks with \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2011/10/23/141611844/self-starters-eat-up-slow-cooking-technique\">sous vide\u003c/a> machines), discussions of gender issues in restaurant kitchens (snoozeville), and the plethora of social media around food culture. Reading about food online, she says, is like eating at McDonalds. \"You end up feeling hungry, undernourished, tired, and full of self loathing.\" \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's also down on the rise of reality TV cooking shows, even though she's had her own turn in front of the camera. (She slayed \u003ca href=\"http://www.bobbyflay.com/\">Bobby Flay\u003c/a> on \u003ca href=\"http://www.foodnetwork.com/iron-chef-america/index.html\">\"Iron Chef\"\u003c/a>). \"It's starting to suck for all of us, since TV isn't about cooking it's about entertaining,\" says Hamilton. \"It's impossible to be quiet or subtle with food on television because actual cooking is really quite dull and repetitive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plans for a movie based on the memoir are already in the works, Hamilton told fans Thursday. She jokes she'd like to see Robert Downey Jr. play her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That seems about right. Hamilton has balls. And a muscularity to her convictions and craft that the actor could convey handsomely. Audiences with a taste for Hamilton's contrarian ways might just go for such gender-bending casting.

Donaghy asks, somewhat unkindly, what Lemon did last night. She responds: \"Well, I was going to go to my cooking for one class but my instructor committed suicide.\" Cue laugh track now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/p/serve-yourself-book.html\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/09/serve-yourself-cover200.jpg\" alt=\"Serve Yourself book cover. author: Joe Yonan\" title=\"Serve Yourself book cover. author: Joe Yonan\" width=\"200\" height=\"257\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-33363\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/\">Joe Yonan\u003c/a>, the James Beard Award-winning \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food\">food editor\u003c/a> of \u003cem> The Washington Post\u003c/em>, recalled that scene at a recent book signing at \u003ca href=\"http://omnivorebooks.com/\">Omnivore Books\u003c/a>, where he talked up his adventures in \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/cooking-for-one-tofu-fuss-or-no-fuss/2011/09/15/gIQAuL8aiK_story.html\">cooking for one\u003c/a>, which he documents in a monthly column of the same name at the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>, and in his recent cookbook \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/p/serve-yourself-book.html\">Serve Yourself\u003c/a>\u003c/em> (Ten Speed, paperback, $22).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spend even a few minutes with Yonan and you'll figure out he's one funny guy. But Yonan isn't terribly amused by those who mock singletons who make a meal for themselves. That's because, he tells folks at the event, it feeds into people's perceptions that it's not worth \"bothering\" to make something delicious when \"it's just me.\" He says such sentiment makes him tear up a bit and you believe him. He simply discounts the commonly held notion that \u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/2011/04/is-cooking-for-one-depressing.html\">cooking for one is depressing or sad\u003c/a>. Alone and lonely are not synonymous in his mind. He's living proof: As the youngest of eight kids he has a highly developed sense of narcissism, he admits, and never ever thinks \"it's just me.\" And you believe that, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/p/recipes.html\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/09/duck-tacos200.jpg\" alt=\"Duck Breast Tacos with Plum Salsa\" title=\"Duck Breast Tacos with Plum Salsa\" width=\"200\" height=\"254\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-33706\">\u003c/a>That kind of secure thinking is worth imitating. Yonan's feed-yourself-well mantra boils down to this: Standards for what goes on the table shouldn't slip because there's only one place serving. That territory has been covered in other recent recipe books on eating alone, including those by culinary legends \u003ca href=\"http://judithjonescooks.com/\">Judith Jones\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.deborahmadison.com/my_books.html\">Deborah Madison\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.joycegoldstein.com/\">Joyce Goldstein\u003c/a>, as well as an anthology of essays on the subject edited by \u003ca href=\"http://gothamist.com/2007/07/17/jenni_ferrariad.php\">Jenni Ferrari-Adler\u003c/a>. (For reviews on these see my colleague \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/04/19/keep-on-keepin-on-some-advice-on-eating-alone/\">Megan Gordon's piece\u003c/a> on same, as well as her post on the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2011/02/23/cooking-for-one-with-humor/\">lighter side of eating alone\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Yonan thought there was room in the genre for his male perspective (hello taco chapter) and his easy-to-make recipes aimed at food-fancying singles -- the fasted-growing segment of U.S. households. Young ones are waiting longer to get married (if at all), while many older folks who survive their spouses are healthy enough to live independently.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Serve Yourself\u003c/em> is full of useful tips, walking readers through the three concerns of single amateur chefs: portion size, shopping, and spoilage.

Donaghy asks, somewhat unkindly, what Lemon did last night. She responds: \"Well, I was going to go to my cooking for one class but my instructor committed suicide.\" Cue laugh track now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/p/serve-yourself-book.html\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/09/serve-yourself-cover200.jpg\" alt=\"Serve Yourself book cover. author: Joe Yonan\" title=\"Serve Yourself book cover. author: Joe Yonan\" width=\"200\" height=\"257\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-33363\">\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/\">Joe Yonan\u003c/a>, the James Beard Award-winning \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food\">food editor\u003c/a> of \u003cem> The Washington Post\u003c/em>, recalled that scene at a recent book signing at \u003ca href=\"http://omnivorebooks.com/\">Omnivore Books\u003c/a>, where he talked up his adventures in \u003ca href=\"http://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/food/cooking-for-one-tofu-fuss-or-no-fuss/2011/09/15/gIQAuL8aiK_story.html\">cooking for one\u003c/a>, which he documents in a monthly column of the same name at the \u003cem>Post\u003c/em>, and in his recent cookbook \u003cem>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/p/serve-yourself-book.html\">Serve Yourself\u003c/a>\u003c/em> (Ten Speed, paperback, $22).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spend even a few minutes with Yonan and you'll figure out he's one funny guy. But Yonan isn't terribly amused by those who mock singletons who make a meal for themselves. That's because, he tells folks at the event, it feeds into people's perceptions that it's not worth \"bothering\" to make something delicious when \"it's just me.\" He says such sentiment makes him tear up a bit and you believe him. He simply discounts the commonly held notion that \u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/2011/04/is-cooking-for-one-depressing.html\">cooking for one is depressing or sad\u003c/a>. Alone and lonely are not synonymous in his mind. He's living proof: As the youngest of eight kids he has a highly developed sense of narcissism, he admits, and never ever thinks \"it's just me.\" And you believe that, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.joeyonan.com/p/recipes.html\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2011/09/duck-tacos200.jpg\" alt=\"Duck Breast Tacos with Plum Salsa\" title=\"Duck Breast Tacos with Plum Salsa\" width=\"200\" height=\"254\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-33706\">\u003c/a>That kind of secure thinking is worth imitating. Yonan's feed-yourself-well mantra boils down to this: Standards for what goes on the table shouldn't slip because there's only one place serving. That territory has been covered in other recent recipe books on eating alone, including those by culinary legends \u003ca href=\"http://judithjonescooks.com/\">Judith Jones\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://www.deborahmadison.com/my_books.html\">Deborah Madison\u003c/a>, and \u003ca href=\"http://www.joycegoldstein.com/\">Joyce Goldstein\u003c/a>, as well as an anthology of essays on the subject edited by \u003ca href=\"http://gothamist.com/2007/07/17/jenni_ferrariad.php\">Jenni Ferrari-Adler\u003c/a>.

(\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/09/27/book-review-tartine-bread/\">Read a recent review of \u003cem>Tartine Bread\u003c/em> on BAB by Megan Gordon.)\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The topic for the evening? \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityarts.net/n.artisanfood.html\">\"On Artisan Food,\"\u003c/a> which seemed fitting for two food purveyors known for their singular obsessions, turning out small batches of award-winning, high-quality products using premium ingredients. What could be a more fundamental food than bread and cheese? And yet these two craftspeople have elevated their chosen culinary pursuit to cult-like status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Am I alone in thinking the Herbst Theatre -- with its bright lights, high-backed, stiff-looking chairs, Persian rug, and formal backdrop -- is not the warmest or coziest of places to curl up for a chat in front of an audience numbering in the hundreds?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's where Severson showed her craft. From the get-go she loosened up the crowd and her interview subjects with one well-placed quip after another. There was the nod to the news with a Charlie Sheen reference and the jokey asides; when Conley confessed that her adventures with cheese began when she fell for a Marin County park ranger Severson sighed: \"Ah, that's where it always start.\" She asked the probing questions in a soft-peddled way, with queries like: \"Is there a point in every small producers life where you just want to see your products on the shelves at Costco?\" which played for good-natured laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another thing I admired: Severson didn't use the stage as an opportunity to flack her own book, which is just plain tacky. Trust me, though, I've been to enough of these kinds of evenings to witness such bad behavior. At a recent book event the interviewer in question used his allotted time with the audience to talk up his own tome as often as possible, and while he promised to ask the author sitting next to him about his own work it never happened.

(\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2010/09/27/book-review-tartine-bread/\">Read a recent review of \u003cem>Tartine Bread\u003c/em> on BAB by Megan Gordon.)\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The topic for the evening? \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityarts.net/n.artisanfood.html\">\"On Artisan Food,\"\u003c/a> which seemed fitting for two food purveyors known for their singular obsessions, turning out small batches of award-winning, high-quality products using premium ingredients. What could be a more fundamental food than bread and cheese? And yet these two craftspeople have elevated their chosen culinary pursuit to cult-like status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Am I alone in thinking the Herbst Theatre -- with its bright lights, high-backed, stiff-looking chairs, Persian rug, and formal backdrop -- is not the warmest or coziest of places to curl up for a chat in front of an audience numbering in the hundreds?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here's where Severson showed her craft. From the get-go she loosened up the crowd and her interview subjects with one well-placed quip after another. There was the nod to the news with a Charlie Sheen reference and the jokey asides; when Conley confessed that her adventures with cheese began when she fell for a Marin County park ranger Severson sighed: \"Ah, that's where it always start.\" She asked the probing questions in a soft-peddled way, with queries like: \"Is there a point in every small producers life where you just want to see your products on the shelves at Costco?\" which played for good-natured laughs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another thing I admired: Severson didn't use the stage as an opportunity to flack her own book, which is just plain tacky. Trust me, though, I've been to enough of these kinds of evenings to witness such bad behavior. At a recent book event the interviewer in question used his allotted time with the audience to talk up his own tome as often as possible, and while he promised to ask the author sitting next to him about his own work it never happened.

Later in the day, her young daughter was hungry and there wasn't an immediate plan for meal-time, so Boyce grabbed the flour and added in apples, pureed beets, milk, eggs and butter and had some darn fine (and unique) pancakes on her hands. This began her interest in cooking with whole grains. And I'm so, so thankful that this interest turned into a minor obsession and a very real talent, yielding her special cookbook, \u003ca href=\"http://www.amazon.com/dp/1584798300/?tag=gpfm-20\">Good to the Grain\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I'm much more of a baker than a cook, and I often experiment with whole wheat flours in certain recipes--thinking I'm making a cake or cookie recipe that much healthier.

In her Introduction, Boyce notes: \u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>\"Baking with whole-grain flours is about balance, about figuring out how to get the right combination of structure and flavor from flours that don’t act the same way as regular white flour.” \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>And the recipes are truly original and insanely appealing.

Bacon knows how to photograph rustic desserts, capturing the simplicity of a scene, the slight dimness of morning light, and evocative shots of half-eaten desserts.

There are 74 recipes total, and Boyce gives a great list of online sources to order some of the grains (page 200).
