Cover art: Cristian Guerrero
In my cover story for Edible East Bay‘s Spring issue, I report on the phenomenon of commercial kitchens with a community-minded focus popping up in my neck of the woods. There’s a seemingly endless demand for made-from-scratch prepared goodies, and no shortage of budding edible entrepreneurs wanting to craft a business with a particular food focus. So sharing kitchen quarters — along with ideas, creativity, and resources — makes a lot of sense.
Read about three spaces — Oakland Kitchener, The Berkeley Kitchens, and Crossroads Cafe Collective – each with its own flavor, audience, and sense of mission in the magazine’s pages, available online here.
And a shout out to the talented artists in this issue: Cristian Guerrero for his vivid cover image and photog Nicki Rosario for capturing the energy and enthusiasm in these kitchens.
