Cook the Book: 'The New Brooklyn Cookbook'

Oakland! With culinary mecca, San Francisco, across the Bay and Oakland's cheaper rent and less stringent restrictions, chefs and restaurant owners are looking to Oakland as an alternative.

Equipment: How to Choose a Meat Cleaver

yea I don't know how my parents use their cleaver as an everyday chef's knife. I've tried it before, and I felt like I was going to chop my fingers off dicing onions.

Dinner Tonight: Chinese Steamed Trout With Fermented Black Beans

Chinese people usually serve it whole at the dining table, and then my mom would separate the flesh from the bones on one side, then carefully remove the skeleton (with as much bones attached as possible) because god forbid you flip the fish (it's bad luck according to Chinese people)!

Cook the Book: Ad Hoc at Home

Bellanico in Oakland, CA serves some of the most delicious rustic Italian style dishes at a reasonable price. Using organic meats and wild caught seafood, Bellanico's changing menu never fails to impress me. My favorites include their Malfalti (swiss chard balls with brown butter sauce and sage), Fried Stuffed Zucchini Blossoms, and their Meyer Lemon Tart.
