"We've spent the last six years building a farm and homestead from scratch here, which has become home to a restaurant, guesthouse, and brewery, chickens, ducks, two donkeys, and a small flock of dairy sheep."

Trader Joe's cinnamon raisin bread was soft, very sweet, and decadently moist. Each slice contained just the right amount of luscious, rich cinnamon sugar swirls and pops of juicy raisins.

Celeriac has been the ruiner of many a soup that I have been fed, overshadowing the taste of the other ingredients and dominating the flavour profile.

Usually an item like this is fairly expensive. That has been my experience with store-bought muffins. They either dry out or can get moldy.

The spices are merely a vessel for culture, community, storytelling, and politics. The recipes were so fresh, simple, and seasonal. That's not the version of South Asian food that most people know.

Jatee Kearsley built Je T'aime Patisserie with a mission to make high-quality French desserts accessible to everyone, including customers who pay with EBT.

Volumes has quickly become a popular destination, known for its superb coffee and a lunch menu that keeps customers coming back. The atmosphere is vibrant, and the food offerings are diverse, catering to various tastes.

If freshly baked focaccia is one of your vices, you'll want to check out Liguria Bakery in San Francisco. This Italian-owned bakery has been open since 1911, and not much has changed about the location since. It's placed on a modest street corner, has large vintage windows, and the interior is small with just enough room for customers to line up and place their orders.

One Redditor, who claims that they used to work at Sprouts, says that Sprouts' bakery items actually arrive at the store frozen. That may lead you to believe that you're not actually getting very good quality, but the commenter said that, despite that fact, the cookies and pastries are actually quite delicious. They specifically called out the jalapeño-cheddar muffins as being especially tasty.

To create cinnamon roses, fold the dough in half, cut into strips, twist them together, and roll up like tape. The result is a beautiful floral shape.

"The solution to everything was just add butter. It was the moment when I realized so much of the magic that occurs in pastry, but also in sauces, emulsification, creating that silky texture of a classic French sauce, it's all because of butter."

One piece of evidence is that there are actually quite a few cake mixes out there sold in bulk and specifically marketed to bakeries. A 50-pound bag of red velvet cake mix doesn't have a lot of uses aside from a fairly large-scale operation. But beyond that, there are plenty of bakery employees on the internet spilling the beans.

To keep a sourdough starter active, it has to be fed regularly using flour and water. However, I didn't realize this until I inherited my first one. How often it's fed depends on where it's stored. For example, if I leave the starter on the counter, I feed it once every 12 to 24 hours. When I keep it in the refrigerator, however, I can feed it less, typically about once a week.

Ilcha, a Korean restaurant in the Marina that's been lauded for its fried chicken, is closing after Valentine's Day, and the SF Business Times has news of its replacement. Coming soon to 2151 Lombard will be Kava, a restaurant serving Nepalese, Himalayan, and Indian cuisines, from Nepalese owner Kamal Kandel of North Beach's Yarsa Nepalese Cuisine. The menu, which will have some similarities to Yarsa, will feature Nepalese curries, momos, chaat, tandoori, and biryani dishes.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- The most famous French bakery in San Francisco is expanding outside of the city. According to the Palo Alto Weekly, Arsicault is opening up in Palo Alto in the fall. This will be its first shop outside of San Francisco. It will serve the same popular pastries as its other locations, along with baguette sandwiches. An exact opening date has not been announced.

London's bakery scene has got to be one of the best in the world right now. As well as an abundance of croissants and sourdough, there are bakeries doing everything from Italian maritozzi to Japanese milk bread and pretty much everything in between. The weekend pastry run has become a ritual (bonus points if you literally run to the bakery) and bagging goods from Toad or Chatsworth Bakehouse before they sell out is a social flex.

Their croissants are arguably the best in San Francisco: sinfully aromatic and buttery, with a flakiness that erupts like weightless shards of gold falling into your lap. Now, after a decade of waiting, another Bay Area city is set to finally lay claim to some of the most legendary pastries around. Arsicault Bakery, which has locations in the Tenderloin, Mission Rock and Inner Richmond, is expanding outside San Francisco for the very first time, landing in the Peninsula in late 2026.
