Sonoma County Focus – Redwood Empire Food Bank – Urgent Call for Donations

sonomacountyfocussquare

Host Michelle Marques talks with David Goodman, Hunger Relief Worker and CEO of the Redwood Empire Food Bank. Normally, the holiday season is the time of year that REFB collects the largest amount of donations during the entire year, but unfortunately, this year donations are down by $1-million dollars. This is devastating and could result in two unthinkable choices: give everyone less food, or turn people away. Don't wait! Please donate money, food, and volunteer your time to help the food bank. Learn more by going to refb.org.

 

At the Table – The Redwood

Host Clark Wolf talks with Geneva Melby and Ryan Miller of The Redwood, an extraordinarily good natural wine bar in Sebastopol. Alum of Ramen Gaijin and Khom Loi, the pair focus on a small menu filled with simple, extremely delicious dishes like their ethereal fried potatoes with pimenton aoli, little gem salad with pickled celery and seeds, and braised lamb shank. The wine menu is also short but filled with food friendly choices that pair perfectly with the food options. They also host events and special dinners, and can cater your next gathering.

Host Clark Wolf talks with Laci Sandoval, founder and owner of Wind and Rye Kitchen, a cooking school and event venue in Penngrove. Laci shares her path to creating this inviting space where students get a chance to do hands on cooking, and a rotating cast of chefs and bakers teach curious students in all sorts of cooking techniques. One of the frequent chef instructors is Daniel Kedan, formerly of the beloved Backyard Restaurant in Forestville. Chef Kedan now teaches at the Culinary Institute of America, and he talks with Clark about his upcoming courses at Wind and Rye.

Laci is also hosting a Bakery Day on Saturday, December 16th from noon until 4pm, or until the goods are sold out.
