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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe restaurant is a friendly beacon on a tree-lined parkway, nestled 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 fifty 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. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrown Sugar Kitchen, the cookbook, stars more than 80 recipes for recreating the restaurant's favorites at home, from a thick Shrimp \u0026amp; Chicken 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 Salad 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 aside of Roasted Green Beans with Sesame-Seed Dressing. Straightforward, unfussy but inspired, these are recipes you'll turn to again and again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRich visual storytelling reveals the food and the people that made and make West Oakland what it is today. Brown Sugar Kitchen truly captures the sense -- and flavor -- of this richly textured and delicious place. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sold Out Cookbooks","offers":[{"title":"HC \/ 9781452122342","offer_id":35167117082780,"sku":"","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0437\/1038\/2236\/products\/BrownSugarKitchen.jpg?v=1595493052","url":"https:\/\/cookbookvillage741-com.myshopify.com\/products\/brown-sugar-kitchen-cookbook","provider":"cookbookvillage741.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
