The Edge of the World

Part of a three week series that dives into all things cooking, gardening, and self care in its many forms, Lale sits down with legendary restaurant owner, cookbook author, chef, and community activist Tanya Holland. Her restaurant, Brown Sugar Kitchen, became a focal point of the Oakland community during its almost 15 year tenure, and now, she has a gorgeous new cookbook out: California Soul, which traces the roots of California soul food from the Western Migration to the present day through recipes, storytelling, and profiles of local chefs and makers. Plus, we hear from a Condé Nast Traveler editor who holds Oakland close to her heart.
