Follow along with Chef and cookbook writer Pascale

Follow along with Chef and cookbook writer Pascale Beale on her bread baking adventure: flour, water, salt and a blooming good time! Her near obsession with sourdough is clear, as she describes the "magical moment when you add the salt, which transforms the shaggy, sticky mixture into a smooth, elastic dough."

Pascale shows how a simple flour‑and‑water culture can blossom into community, entrepreneurial ventures (like bagel shops and pizza menus), and intergenerational bonds.

And, get these recipes:
* Bagels with Tomatoes and Herbs
* Wild Mushroom Crostini Salad
* Fava Bean Pâté
* Poached Eggs on Fava Bean Toast with Asparagus and Smoked Salmon

The Santa Barbara City College (@sbccofficial) Cul

The Santa Barbara City College (@sbccofficial) Culinary Arts Program, led by Chef Charlie Fredericks, is giving students more than just cooking skills—it’s launching real-world culinary careers. Through hands-on learning in the John Dunn Gourmet Dining Room, students plan, prep, and serve four-course prix-fixe meals (with wine pairings!) to the public every Thursday and Friday. 🍷👨‍🍳

Graduates have gone on to succeed at places like San Ysidro Ranch, Rosewood Miramar’s Caruso’s, Bouchon, and even started their own catering and artisan food businesses. Chef Charlie, who’s been teaching since 2004, emphasizes technical excellence, flexibility, and in-the-field experience—backed by community support like the SBCC Promise, which covers fees for many students.

Join the movement that’s turning passion into profession. If you haven’t been to a GDR dinner night, it’s time to treat your tastebuds and support the next generation of local chefs!

Read the whole story at the link in bio, or in the magazine at select retailers throughout SB County.

Date Night in downtown Santa Barbara is a visit to

Date Night in downtown Santa Barbara is a visit to @theblacksheepsb for their bar bites and cocktail program.

After an aperitif come the cocktails. His - Corpse Reviver No. 2. Hers - a N/A concoction from @drinktilden.

For food, it’s Waygu beef sliders, roast duck and watermelon lettuce wraps, and an ample portion of fries with two dipping sauces.

And then it’s off to a show by 7 pm.

No matter the season, Chef Emma West is whipping u

No matter the season, Chef Emma West is whipping up something deliciously vegetarian at Satellite on State Street. This Farm-to-Table, Farm-to-Glass restaurant and Natural Wine shop is focused on ethical, environmentally beneficial agriculture and the freshest locally grown ingredients.

This Spring, West created a gorgeous Yuzu Snap Pea Salad with amazing Vegan Aioli, featuring the darling of spring markets everwhere, sugar snap peas, along with fennel, pickled carrots, and pansies. As summer rears its head, she will experiment at the market and in the kitchen, and come up with another dish you'll want to drop in and nosh on. Wash it down with one of the shop's many natural wines curated by “Chief Winestronaut” Drew Cuddy.

As experimenting with flavors is key to creating great dishes, West reminds us that this is easy to do at home! You have more control, and change is easier because you have a smaller audience, and it’s only for one night. You can change it the next day, as you like!

Today @vicesandspices celebrates its 50 year anniv $Today @vicesandspices celebrates its 50 year anniversary! Our publisher Rosminah grew up with this shop, first buying sweets like lemon drops and gummy cola bottles. Now she buys the spices and plenty of coffee vices. Locals tip: get the coffee frequent buyer card, it is free to join and still managed on a hand written Rolodex. Buy ten 1-pound bags of coffee, get 1 pound free. Today they offer free cake and coffee, and discounts on merchandise. Normally there is ample parking in the back but probably not today. Here are some photos from years back showing just a fraction of how our beloved shop has been a part of uptown Santa Barbara life. You’ll see, it hasn’t changed.$
