Head to Bouchon in Santa Barbara for a sweet treat

Head to Bouchon in Santa Barbara for a sweet treat like no other…and read all about it in this season’s issue of Edible Santa Barbara, online and at newsstands now.

For winter, Head Chef Vicken Tavitian was inspired to create this Rhubarb Upside Down Cake, topped with Blood Orange Semifreddo and Pistachio Tuile. There’s a unique allure to rhubarb; it’s strikingly tart and needs some care and creativity to nudge it into perfect balance that is both bold and delicate, jammy and floral. With a touch of sweetness and the pairing of blood orange and pistachio, Tavitian transforms rhubarb’s simple stalk into a delightful treat.

This dessert delivers exactly what the heart needs this season. Tap the link in bio to learn more, plus how to make it at home!

The winter issue is out! This one was difficult to

The winter issue is out! This one was difficult to get to press. The final and most detailed steps took place during the worst of the SoCal fires. How to focus on a love letter-themed issue while people we know lose everything? Or when our own town is under the same red-flag warning and is a spark away from a similar fate.

But this issue is also about connection...we can all use more of that. Look for it at newsstands, and online soon at the link in bio.

❤️Take a moment to creatively reflect on who or what touches your heart and send it off, so others can feel it too.❤️

The Santa Barbara County Food Action Network works

The Santa Barbara County Food Action Network works to connect, advocate, and build capacity with a network of food system actors to foster an equitable and robust local food economy, a healthy and just community, and a well-stewarded, resilient foodshed.

They focus on four key areas of our Food System: Food Economy, Community, Foodshed, and Health and Wellness. They also gather individuals from different areas of the food system to collaborate as teams and affect change directly in their communities.

A local food economy encompasses the closed-loop path of food as it moves from farm to table within the same region, including where it is grown, processed, distributed, consumed, and disposed of.

SBCFAN also facilitates Funding and Crisis Support, and models positive adaptation at a local level.

Now is a great time to get involved! Follow them @sbcfoodaction and join their mailing list to see their work, success stories, projects, and ways to get involved.
