This soul-food outpost is a community gathering spot, a place to fill the belly, and the beating heart of West Oakland, a storied postindustrial neighborhood across the bay from San Francisco.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe restaurant is a friendly beacon on a tree-lined parkway, Nesthomestoreled low and snug next to a scrap-metal yard in this Bay Area rust belt. Out front, customers congregate on long benches and sprawl in the grass, soaking up the sunshine, sipping at steaming mugs of Oakland-roasted coffee, waiting to snag one of the tables they glimpse through the swinging doors. Deals are done, friends are made; this is a community in action. In short order, they'll get their table, their pecan-studded sticky buns, their meaty hash topped with a quivering poached egg. Later in the day, the line grows, and the orders for chef-owner Tanya Holland's famous chicken and waffles or oyster po'boy fly. This is when satisfaction arrives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eBrown Sugar Kitchen\u003c\/em\u003e, the cookbook, stars 86 recipes for re-creating the restaurant's favorites at home, from a thick Shrimp Gumbo to celebrated Macaroni \u0026amp; Cheese to a show-stopping Caramel Layer Cake with Brown Butter–Caramel Frosting. And these aren't all stick-to-your-ribs recipes: Tanya's interpretations of soul food star locally grown, seasonal produce, too, in crisp, creative salads such as Romaine with Spring Vegetables \u0026amp; Cucumber-Buttermilk Dressing and Summer Squash Succotash. Soul-food classics get a modern spin in the case of B-Side BBQ Braised Smoked Tofu with Roasted Eggplant and a side of Roasted Green Beans with Sesame-Seed Dressing. Straight-forward, unfussy but inspired, these are recipes you'll turn to again and again. Hardcover; 224 pages.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"add-to-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"add-to-box\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"short-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Chronicle Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52289014596,"sku":"","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2247\/5203\/products\/brown-sugar-kitchen_9781452122342_350.jpg?v=1581370448","url":"https:\/\/nesthomestore.shop\/products\/brown-sugar-kitchen","provider":"Nesthomestore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
