R O C K L I N

Some of my fondest memories have been on a bike. As a kid, I remember cycling around my neighborhood till the last drop of sunlight was squeezed from the sky and the crickets started calling.

When adolescence arrived, my hot pink Huffy stayed in storage, as I became “too cool” to commute to school, or anywhere for that matter, via bike. In college, cycling took on a whole new purpose: cruising to the beach and (occasional) class in San Diego. As a full-fledged adult, pedaling serves as exercise, transportation (truth be told, I’d rather take two wheels to get somewhere than four), and a chance to explore new surrounds without being confined to a car. There’s something so satisfying, so freeing and meditative, about going for a long, leisurely ride—especially when it’s along the American River Bike Trail and the destination includes a pint and provisions.

In honor of my passion for pedaling and the fact that May is National Bike Month, I hope you too catch the bicycling bug. But before you hit the trails, there are some important rules of the road and safety precautions to be aware of. Thankfully, Kourtney Jason consulted area experts and presents a list of smart cycling tips—plus our “I don’t ride a bike favorite trails around to add days to my town and a handful of life. I ride a bike to upcoming events—in add life to my days.” this month’s Health — Unknown & Wellness article, “Bicycle Bliss” (page 26). Whether you’re a spandex warrior or a riding rookie, I hope it inspires you to go for a spin. You can even log your miles and compete for prizes at mayisbikemonth.com; who knows, you might discover a new favorite hobby...and just in time for summer, too!

Speaking of summer, starting on page 35, Sharon Penny shares 99+ ways to make this one your best yet. From a lengthy list of new businesses on the block—including a spacious brewery in Folsom with two bocce ball courts, 50 taps (some pouring cider and wine), fire pits, an open-air stage, and seasonal fare; and an outdoor adventure park in Rocklin with over 2,000 feet of zip lines, rock climbing stations, and a threestory high ropes course—to a handful of activities that don’t cost a penny, recipes for seasonal cocktails and dishes (courtesy of local bartenders and bloggers), 6 familyfriendly destinations, and much more, it’s everything you need to beat the heat in style (pun intended).

Albert Einstein once said, “Life is like riding a bicycle. In order to keep your balance, you must keep moving,” so saddle up and let the warm-weather adventures commence. Cheers!

“My mom taught me a lot of lessons, like never buy cheap pots and pans, and the importance of a good tail comb, but the one I remember most was an old saying she taught me as a child: ‘True friends are like diamonds, precious and rare.

False friends are like autumn leaves, found everywhere.’”

—Sharon Penny

“Being a young parent who did everything for her children, my mom taught me the invaluable lesson of self-love. She also passed along her equally important, zany dance moves that, like her, I bust out in the most random moments and places!”—Heather L. Becker

“Everyone has a story and a reason behind their actions. The more time you spend learning people’s stories, the more you learn to respect everyone and the less time you spend in meaningless disagreements over differences in opinion.”

BEST of the BEST

get to know

Q&A

WHAT ADVICE WOULD YOU GIVE TO YOUR YOUNGER SELF?

Relax. Life, even when stressful, is beautiful and amazing.

WHAT COMES TO YOU NATURALLY?

Speaking honestly and speaking up, which sometimes can get me in trouble. This makes my career path come naturally, because as an attorney you have to do both to advocate for your clients and their best interests.

WHAT’S YOUR BIGGEST PET PEEVE?

When people don’t “reply all” on email and group texts.

FAVORITE HUMANITARIAN CAUSE?

Ones that help others. Some of my favorites are Auburn Ski Club, The Ripple Effect, Stand Up Placer, Love Creek Farms, and Blossom Place.

BEST WORDS OF WISDOM YOU’VE RECEIVED?

A

Allison Harvey

favorites Author/writer

llison Harvey knows a thing or two about the challenge of being a female entrepreneur.

She’s a lawyer and the founder of her own law firm, A.L. Harvey Law, and is used to defying expectations within a male-dominated field. “If there’s a male attorney alongside me in the courtroom, people often assume he’s the person in charge,” she notes.

Yet Harvey isn’t daunted by these difficulties.

She grew up in a house with a tractor-driving mother, a woman who ran her own grading and excavating business. “She was a trailblazer,” Harvey says, looking back on it now. “It showed me that a woman can do absolutely anything she puts her mind to.”

In addition to her law practice and busy home

12

At a trying moment in my career, I was reminded by a wise attorney that it’s called the “practice of law” for a reason, which is that no one can know it all or have done it all before. We all have to practice our skill set. I think this is true in our personal lives, too; it’s a practice.

stylergbr.com // MAY 2018 //

life as a mother of two boys, Harvey is a founding member of The Ripple Effect, a networking and philanthropic nonprofit for young and up-andcoming professionals. Harvey is also an avid community volunteer. To that end, she’s the vice president of the Auburn Chamber of Commerce and is actively involved in organizations such as the Auburn Ski Club and Placer Hills Education Foundation (PHEF), a nonprofit that supports local schools. Despite all her obligations, however, Harvey insists that—while it’s far from easy—it’s possible for women to balance being a great mom with being a successful professional and active member of the community. “I’m so lucky to have a career that lets me do what I love in a community I love,” she shares.

SEASON’S EATINGS: PlacerGROWN

by CAROL ARNOLD

BLUEBERRIES

DID YOU KNOW? // Blueberries—the only blue fruit—were once so abundant in North America (there are still more native species here than on any other continent) that they were a staple in the Native American diet. When the colonists first arrived, they were shown how to gather blueberries, dry them in the sun, store them for winter, and perpetuate their growth. The early American colonists also made grey paint for their homes by boiling the fruit in milk. A member of the ericaceac family, which includes azaleas and rhododendrons, the fruit is grown most successfully where the days are warm and the nights are cool, including Placer County.

NUTRITION // A nutrient-dense food, blueberries are low in calories, and pack a good amount of vitamins C and K, fiber, and manganese. Colloquially, blueberries are referred to as a “superfood,” since they’re high in antioxidants and thought to promote weight loss and heart health, alleviate inflammation, boost brain healt h, and suppor t digest ion.

Mother's Day weekend is host to two great events showcasing local art: the North Auburn Art Studios Tour and the Loomis Art Loop Open Studios Tour, both free and running from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on May 12 and 13. The North Auburn Art Studios Tour features artists in their private environments demonstrating and selling their art, ultimately helping to “educate the public to become aware of our rich visual arts community and help them learn to appreciate processes," explains Janet Nicholson, a member of North Auburn Artists. The self-guided tour includes mediums ranging from blown glass and wood sculptures to ceramics and watercolors. Studios are within a few miles of each other, and a map can be viewed online. The Loomis Art Loop Open Studios Tour also has a map online for easy planning and features 17 artists—showcasing a range of art, including paintings, fiber arts, threedimensional works, and jewelry—at four locations. The featured artists have a range of professional experience, some earning local and even national honors. Both tours are proud to highlight the hard work of their organization’s creative artists, and Mother's Day weekend is a great time to gather family and friends to explore the talent in our own backyard. —Emily Peter For more information, visit northauburnartists.com and loomisartloop.com. retain their original nutritional value for up to six months.

Does wine really taste better when paired with certain foods?

A

bsolutely! The perfect pairing can take food and wine to another level. A good guideline is to always have a wine with more acid than the food. Wines with acidity and tannins pair nicely with richer foods; sweeter wines tend to pair well with spicy foods. Grilled or smoked meats paired alongside wines with oak or tannins will tame the oak flavor and bring out the fruit. It's also important to match the intensity of the food’s flavors with the intensity of the wine. For example, rich, buttery

sauces go great with rich, buttery chardonnays; and unoaked, lighter wines pair well with lighter and more delicate dishes.

With that said, when it comes to wine, tastes are subjective, so the best rule to follow is drink what you like!

ine artist Dottie Phelps Visker has always enjoyed drawing, painting, and creating, but it wasn’t until a college art instructor showed admiration for one of her oil paintings that she began to take it more seriously. Although it was her first formal art class, Phelps Visker grew up watching her mom—who used Bob Ross’ TV show, The Joy of Painting, as her guide—paint at home. Later on, and throughout Phelps Visker’s journey as a mom and registered nurse, she continued pursuing her passion for drawing and painting, taking the occasional lesson when time allowed. “Art brings everyone together—all ages, ethnic groups, counties, and diversities,” she shares. “Art transcends time and gives you what you want, see, and need.” Currently, Phelps Visker is a participating artist in the PlacerArts Studios Tour (slated for November 9-11) and showcases her colorful, texture-rich pieces at numerous local businesses. She’s also this month’s featured artist at Gallery at Marina Square in Morro Bay.

HLB: WHAT MEDIUMS DO YOU PREFER TO WORK WITH? DPV: I [typically] use watercolors with ink and oil markers, acrylics, acrylics/oil blend, and sometimes a mixture of all. I enjoy textures so I might add shells, sand, or crystals. I also like combining my photography and art paintings digitally into works.

In the summer, I love to paint outside and utilize the heat to dry the layers quickly, as I blow paint with a straw or drag the layers with a knife. Many of my abstracts are done with music and while dancing, and you can also catch me drawing and painting around town at coffee shops or restaurants. I love to be out and about!

HLB: WHAT INSPIRES YOU AND WHERE DO YOU SEEK IT? DPV: I’m inspired by sunshine, Theresa’s Lipstick being outside, gardens, my family and friends, and other people who are happy, kind, optimistic, and [have positive] energy. I love painting in sunny areas of my home, especially where I can look out and see birds flying or flowers and veggies growing. I also love water, oceans, and lakes.

HLB: HOW DO YOU OVERCOME ARTIST’S BLOCK? DPV: When I feel uninspired, I simply go outside, venture to a new place, or call a friend and laugh. I don’t worry—I just get my heart happy and [ask myself if] I need to mingle with the world. You can’t stay home and paint day after day—without living, dancing, singing, laughing, crying, or helping someone—and expect to be inspired to paint.

HLB: WHAT DO YOU HOPE VIEWERS TAKE AWAY FROM YOUR WORK? DPV: I want to express myself and hope people feel the passion I have inside me and for life. Ultimately, I want my art to add to the beauty of the world and possibly give happiness to others. I also fund-raise to help with research and finding a cure for cancer. dpvisker.com

Bicycle Bliss

by KOURTNEY JASON

May is National Bike Month, which means more and more cyclists hitting the streets and trails around town.

Whether on two wheels or four, it’s imperative to follow the rules of the road and be considerate. To ensure we’re all respecting the same laws, we asked local bike experts to share their top tips for keeping everyone safe.

ETIQUETTE “Watch your speed on the trails and be alert for pedestrians. As trail usage continues to increase, we want to make sure to be safe and courteous to all users,” says Jim Konopka, senior park planner of trails for Folsom’s Parks and Recreation Department.

“Pedestrians [should] walk on the left side of trails facing

26

stylergbr.com // MAY 2018 //

oncoming bicycle traffic. Making eye contact between the cyclist and pedestrian makes a big difference,” Konopka says.

“Being visible is a must when riding and being able to let people know where you are without shouting is helpful, too. A polite bell lets others know you’re near. Ring it often,” says Adam Titone, one of the bike experts at Mike’s Bikes.

/stylergbr /stylemediagroup /stylemediagroup /stylemagrgbr

SAFETY “Stay aware of what’s happening around you. Look out for and [be cognizant] of vehicles making right turns across your path. Be aware of transit zones, bus stops, and passenger loading zones.

Stop at red lights and stop signs until you’re certain it’s safe to cross,” Titone says.

“Giving clear signals out on the road

15+ Smart Cycling Tips

Johnny Cash Trail

to both cyclists and drivers is essential to your safety.Whether you’re turning, stopping, signaling danger, or pulling out, clear hand signals help to keep you, drivers, and your riding pals safe,” says Josh Mott, one of the bike experts at Folsom Bike.

According to Mott, “The most common hand signal is the one used when turning. Simply raise your right or left arm and point in the direction you’re turning. Make sure you do this nice and early, before your turn, to give other road users enough time to react to your signal. This also gives you extra time to brake if you’re going to need to come to a stop.”

“Helmets meeting the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission bicycle standards range in price from $40-$200. A good helmet should fit comfortably and ventilate hot air efficiently; their recommended life span is five years after minimal use,” Titone says.

“Lights are made for two purposes: to see and to be seen. Brighter lights help navigate darker areas, while others are made to help you become more visible to other riders and drivers,” Titone advises.

“Acknowledge other riders by being friendly. Unexpected moves cause accidents—ride safely and watch out for others, yield to pedestrians, avoid [riding on] sidewalks, and use care at crosswalks,” Titone says.

“Be a smart rider. Use bike-specific routes and know alternatives just in case. Be ready for changing weather and technical issues such as a flat. Also, safety in numbers; find a commuter group that rides together,” Titone says.

El Dorado Trail

“Especially at night, wear gloves with reflective elements, as this will help to catch the attention of drivers,” Mott suggests.

CARE “Keep your bike safe by using a good lock and knowing how to use it. Register your bike and add it to your insurance policy. Keep your serial number on file. Learn to use the tools for security to deter theft,” Titone says.

“Make sure both front and rear brakes are working and providing the appropriate level of modulation. If your brake pads or braking cables are worn, it’s time for a trip to your local bike shop to ensure you keep stopping safely,” Mott advises.

“Know your bike. Have it tuned-up if you notice something isn’t right. Know your tires, how much air you need, and how used they are. A dirty bike is a used bike; a clean bike is a happy bike,” Titone says.

cause & effect McDonald House. With the help of hospital staff, each child is welcomed with a box on his or her bed. Inside is a collection of art supplies: crayons, paints, construction paper, pipe cleaners, drawing paper, a blank book the child can decorate or use as a journal, scissors, glue, a ruler, brown paper bags to make puppets, and more. The box itself can be colored and decorated and kept as a keepsake container. Since December, boxes have also included superhero capes.

“These kids are superheroes who fight courageous battles every day,” Costa says.

And so are their families: The organization is now planning a similar box for them, with small necessities such as coffee mugs, snacks, toothbrushes, [lip balm], and puzzles. “They’re going through a lot, too,” Costa affirms.

All About Hope

The Art of Giving

by LINDA HOLDERNESS // photos by DANTE FONTANA

ospital pediatric wards aren’t typically the cheeriest places for kids or their families. Thankfully, All About

Hope is trying to change that. In three local hospitals, the nonprofit provides each child age four and older—admitted for at least 48 hours—with a pink and blue “Hope Box” containing an explosion of art supplies, says founder Cindy Costa, because it brightens the kids’ lives and encourages what she calls “courageous creativity.”

The idea to make the boxes evolved over 12 years when Costa’s daughter was in the hospital battling complications from appendicitis. As Costa kept vigil at her six-year-old’s bedside, she witnessed the heartache of other parents tending to their children. If her daughter survived, she vowed to help these families. Brittany did survive, and Costa kept her promise, first bringing home-cooked meals and blankets to the families every other week. Two years ago, when food was no longer allowed, she developed the Hope Boxes. Her inspiration was an autistic boy at the Ronald McDonald House who came out of his shell for the first time when Costa helped teach him to paint. “I thought, ‘How can I make that happen every day?’ And I came up with the idea for the Hope Box.” She launched All About Hope last June, with the goal of distributing 600 boxes by Christmas. Instead, she handed out 1,700 to Sutter Children’s Center, UC Davis Children’s Hospital’s pediatric unit, and the Ronald

Samantha Snell In the near future, Costa hopes to add two more local hospitals for a total of 400 boxes each month—a number that doesn’t cover every child. Long-term, she envisions a resource center with art and music therapy and space for volunteers to sew such items as scent dolls, which are bathed in the mother’s body scent and placed with infants in critical care.

The only limit to Costa’s dream is funding. Volunteers do the work, but the boxes cost $25 each, and the organization needs help with buying art supplies. “The boxes bring hope and healing to these kids and their families,” Costa says. “It’s so rewarding to see a child smile.” allabouthope.net

Simply Scandinavian 4 Ways to Hygge Your Home

T

his month I’m heading to Northern Europe to experience the design trend that asks: “Is your space contributing to your well-being?”

The Danish way of life, hygge (pronounced “hoogah”), took the design world by storm last winter. It’s both a lifestyle and design trend, recognizable by its Scandinavian simplicity, modern décor, plush accents, little indulgences, and homey details.

There’s no literal translation of hygge into English; instead, the beauty of the word lies in its ability to be described in a multitude of phrases and feelings. The warm glow of candlelight, snuggling up with tea and a good book, or creating intimacy and a warm

atmosphere that allows your guests to feel safe and at ease are all ways to describe hygge. It’s the romantic experience of cozying up in winter and enjoying the carefree beauties of life. But why stop with that desirable feeling once the cold weather stops forcing us indoors? I’m here to show you how this design trend can last all year long.

LIGHT AND BRIGHT Hygge is all about straying away from dark and dreary shades that are all too common during harsh Scandinavian (and often American) winters. Creamy whites, natural hues, and delicate shades are great complements to rustic yet sleek

décor. Achieve the look by introducing a neutralcolored chair into your living space, opening up your windows, or going for a bright white paint in the extra guest room.

MOOD LIGHTING Hygge wouldn’t be “hygge” without the warm glow of candlelight and fireplaces. A single candle in the bathroom or on a coffee table can instantly set a tone and add just the right amount of ambiance. Bring the coziness outside in the warmer months with a backyard fire pit, stairway lanterns, and clusters of candles at an outdoor dinner party; add snug throws into a big basket for when that evening chill sets in. Lighting is all about creating an intimate space for reading your favorite book or catching up with an old friend.

2

SNUGGLY ADORNMENTS Fur accents, plush flokati rugs, blankets, and textiles are key for creating a hygge space.

As a way to experience life’s pleasures during the dreary winter, hygge takes advantage of relishing in ultimate comforts. For the warmer months, pair these items with lighter linens, crisp white sheets, and a fresh bouquet of pale pink flowers.

3

SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN Hygge is not only a lifestyle but also a design trend that goes hand in hand with classic Scandinavian design. Like the region’s style, hygge takes to heart simplistic modern furniture, handmade crafts, and rustic accents like wood, slate, and stone (think Scandinavian cabin chic). Add some cream-colored knit poufs, a jute-weave rug, and some natural wood shelves to create the look.

No matter what your style is, even the simplest additions to your space can make all the difference in creating a dream hygge space. But above all, it’s about enjoying the little things.

Fold into a great book or magazine with a warming whiskey cocktail and cheers to good health, good friends, and good times—it’s the hygge way.

OUT OF BOUNDS CRAFT KITCHEN AND BIERGARTEN— the newest location for Rocklin’s Out of Bounds Brewing Company— held their grand opening festivities last month…just in time to kick off a fabulous summer. It’s the perfect spot for dining al fresco with a Juiced Grapefruit Double IPA (or something else from the other 49 taps, including vino and cider), noshing on one of the many seasonal selections from the craft kitchen (open for lunch and dinner seven days a week), listening to live music around one of the five incredible outdoor fire pits, having a ball at the bocce ball courts, or taking advantage of the only growler fill station in the area.

WALK THE LINE THIS SUMMER. Folsom’s Johnny Cash Trail is now fully connected to the American River Bike Trail and Lake Natoma Trail in a complete, uninterrupted loop. Keep an eye out as Adan Romo’s exciting new artwork installations begin to appear on the trail, the first being a seven-foot-high bronze guitar pick. Plan your next trail trek: Park at the Folsom Public Library and Folsom City Zoo Sanctuary and pick up the trailhead from there, then travel northeast past Folsom Prison to get to the Johnny Cash Overcrossing near Folsom Lake for some spectacular views!

GET AN AUTHENTIC TASTE OF HAWAII this summer at Reel Poké Cove, at the Galleria at Roseville’s dining court. Poké is the Hawaiian equivalent of a chopped salad with rice and marinated diced fish, and it’s the hottest new food trend (tell your dad it’s pronounced “pok-ay” not “pok-ee” or “poke”).

Reel Poké Cove’s bowls are made with certified sustainable seafood and California-grown produce and served in the typical BYO (build your own) format (pick a base, your choice of protein: ahi tuna, shrimp, scallops, salmon, tako, and tofu). They also offer more traditional Hawaiian-style pre-marinated poké, which can be purchased by the pound, and Hawaiian favorites such as Dole Whip, garlic shrimp, onigirazus (sushi sandwiches), taro chips, and homemade creations like Spam fries! 1151 Galleria Boulevard, Roseville, reelpokecove.com

RECIPE BY COURTNEY MCDONALD; REPRINTED WITH PERMISSION FROM PLACERGROWN, PLACERGROWN.ORG/CATEGORY/RECIPES

• 1 loaf day-old crusty bread, cut into 1/2inch slices • 2 tbsp. olive oil • 1/4 cup unsalted butter • 2 bunches green onions, thinly sliced • 6 cloves garlic, thinly sliced • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line the bread slices on a baking sheet, brush with the olive oil, and toast until lightly browned. Remove from oven, reduce the temperature to 375°F, and set aside.

2. While bread is toasting, melt the butter in a heavy-bottomed medium pot over medium heat. Add the green onions and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook another 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Whisk in the milk and season very generously with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Continue

Belgian-style wheat beer brewed with barley, wheat, oats, and hops, then spiced with coriander and orange peel; citrusy and refreshing

4 cups milk 2 large meaty tomatoes, thinly sliced 1 small zucchini, thinly sliced lengthwise 1 small yellow squash, thinly sliced lengthwise 1/2 cup grated mozzarella or provolone cheese 1/4 cup grated parmesan Salt and pepper, to taste

cooking, stirring gently, until milk is thickened completely, about 10 minutes.

Remove pot from the heat. Whisk in half of each grated cheese and set aside.

3. In the bottom of a large casserole dish, spoon a little of the cream sauce to coat.

Add a single layer of the toasted bread slices and spoon the cream sauce over the top to cover. Add a layer of tomato slices, then a layer of zucchini and yellow squash. Season the vegetables with salt and pepper, and spoon more of the cream sauce over top. Add another layer of the bread slices, then the vegetables,

always coating with the cream sauce.

You should end up with two layers of bread and two layers of vegetables. Top the casserole with the remaining cream sauce, then sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in the hot oven until heated through and bubbling around the edges, about 25 minutes. Switch the oven to broil and cook until the top of casserole is nicely browned, about 2 minutes more.

Remove from the oven and let stand for 10 minutes before serving. Makes 6 servings.

Ciao Restaurant Amatriciana

A Taste of Italy

by LORN RANDALL // photos by DANTE FONTANA

fter spending 15 years in Italy, where he met his future wife and opened a motorbike touring and rental business, Joe Charity and said wife Miranda decided to bring their passions to California and open a motorcycle business. Oh yes, and an Italian restaurant. I can’t speak to the former, but the latter has been a highly anticipated and wildly popular dining destination since opening last December— Caprese Salad thanks in part to Chef Marc and his culinary creations.

I stopped in to sample their offerings and started with the clam steamers (you can also opt for mussels or a little of both) and a slice of smoky-grilled baguette to plunge into the briny, buttery, white wine studded sauce with arugula. Oliver Twist said it best. “Please, sir, I want some more!” Poor Oliver missed out on the Caprese salad I ordered next, featuring fresh mozzarella, whole basil leaves, local olive oil, lemon, Italian sea salt, and a beautiful balsamic reduction to complement the plump red tomatoes.

If one should go through all of the expense and trouble to order an imported pasta maker from Italy, your pasta should be mind-blowing, and from my point of view as a certified pasta snob: bellissimo! My revelation came in the form of Amatriciana—one of Italy’s favorite dishes from the city of Amatrice. This version featured a melt-in-your-mouth smoked pork belly, savory tomato sugo with plenty of red chile, and that beautiful spaghetti di la casa. “We’re frequently asked for familiar dishes like veal picatta and chicken Parmesan,” Joe told me over a glass of Chianti, “but we want to bring a more authentic Italy to our customers.” No argument here Joe—keep that pasta machine rolling, brother!

Next, our waiter brought the Ciao chicken—a locally sourced, roasted half chicken with rich herb jus, al dente green beans, and roasted red potatoes. The dish was the epitome of Italian country-style cooking: simple, quality ingredients elevated by skilled hands.

I have to personally thank Joe for contributing to my newly acquired dessert addiction: the banoffee cup. This British classic—chock-full of dulce de leche cream, chocolate chips, bananas, crumbled cookies (and a dose of willpower breaker)—is sure to send diners scurrying home to dust off their treadmills (or to their couches). And, just to clarify, metric system be damned: and California wines; espresso drinks made It’s a huge bowl—not a “proper cup!” Thanks Joe and Miranda… with genuine Lavazza coffee; daily Happy mangia bene!

A guide to getting your grub on beyond Placer County…

“The grilled Colorado lamb chops with green lentil ragout and mint gremolata were especially outstanding. Generous ‘doublecut’ chops cooked perfectly medium-rare showcased both the skill of the chef and owner Chuck’s commitment to his concept.”

FOODIE FIND

by JULIE RYAN

KoJa Kitchen // What happens when you combine Korean food with Japanese food? You get a wonderful restaurant that started

as a food truck and has since expanded to multiple brick-and-mortars called KoJa Kitchen. (I love a creative name.) Though known for their namesake Koja—which is like a burger but with crispy garlic rice buns in lieu of bread—I opted for a few other items…starting with the Kamikaze Fries. Are you ready for your mouth to water? Picture spicy nachos made with waffle fries instead of chips, Korean beef, kimchi, green onions, Japanese mayo, and red sauce. Pro tip: Make sure you have a beverage handy—this dish packs a punch. Although, truth be told, I’m kind of a wimp when it comes to spicy food. Next came the tacos. The Chicken Taco—stuffed with Korean barbecued chicken, wasabi mayo, cilantro, fried onions, and sesame vinaigrette lettuce—was heavenly, and the Braised Pork Taco was just as divine; but let’s be honest: When the ingredient list includes miso-coconut braised pork, garlic aioli, and fried onions can you really go wrong? Their bowls—brimming with white or seasoned brown rice, spring mix, and your choice of short ribs, braised pork, chicken, beef, ahi tuna, tofu, or a soy and portobello mushroom patty—looked amazing too. Oh, and if you ever have one of those nights where you’re starving but don’t want to cook and also don’t want to change out of your pajamas, KoJa in Rocklin has a drive-thru! You’re welcome. 4210 Rocklin Road, Rocklin, 916-259-1513, kojakitchen.com/locations/rocklin

THE HOT LIST

Chicago Fire

The River Thai Cuisine

Mikuni

Tortilla Flats Cantina

Mehfil Indian Restaurant

Hacienda Del Rio

6 Fiery Favorites

Some of us here at Style like it hot, which is why we’ve rounded up our fiery food favorites this month.

Seeking some spice in your own life? Whether you’re looking for piquant, pungent, or peppery, you’ll find it below. Don’t say we didn’t warn you!

compiled by STYLE STAFFERS // photos by DANTE FONTANA

“I find it hard to pick from Mikuni’s menu because everything looks so good.

Luckily, my preference for spicy food narrows down my options and I’m usually happy to start with their BBQ White Tuna.

The tuna is grilled rare, topped with green onions, and served with their secret spicy red sauce and/or garlicky white sauce. It looks simple but it’s absolutely fantastic. Firstly, the fish is fresh; secondly, those sauces play all sorts of tricks on your palate, providing bursts of flavor with each bite.” mikunisushi.

“At first glance, the Italian Beef Sandwich from Chicago Fire is just that—an innocuous beef sandwich. Sure, you ordered the hot giardiniera peppers but it’s really a New York French dip, right? Wrong!

It’s a napalm-laced surprise attack of fire and flavor from which there is no escape. I curse every last bite and then order it again.“ chicagofire.com

“The River Thai Cuisine’s Red Curry is one of the best I’ve tasted—and I’ve tasted a few. This secret curry recipe comes with eggplant, Serrano and bell peppers, basil, and your choice of chicken, pork, beef, tofu, seafood, or veggies.

I like mine with prawns and usually ask for the ‘Thai spicy’ level of heat. Go big or go home…am I right? I love the rich coconut milk broth, hint of Thai basil, and boldness of that heat. I go big and I go home happy.” theriverthaicuisine.

“Looking for something spicy?

I’ve got two words for you: Shrimp Diablo. That’s right, Hacienda Del Rio makes the mother of all spicy things by sautéing shrimp in a sauce made of habaneros and red peppers. To douse the fire in your mouth, they serve it with rice, beans, sour cream, pico de gallo, sliced avocado, and tortillas. The flavors are on point and the heat is everything you imagine it to be and more.”

“Chicken tikka is passé. What’s hot is Chicken Vindaloo… literally. Mehfil Indian Restaurant’s version consists of tender bites of chicken in a stewed gravy of onion, garlic, ginger, ground spices, and vinegar. Spicy, sweet, and sour at the same time, it checks all the flavor boxes making it perfect in my book. Choose your level of spice (I like it hot) and enjoy this delicacy alongside steaming basmati rice or naan.”

“I’ll take the Bacon-

Wrapped Stuffed Jalapeños from Tortilla Flats Cantina any day, any time. These babies aren’t your regular, soggy, boring jalapeño poppers. They’re stuffed with California goat cheese, wrapped in bacon, and baked to achieve a crisp exterior and melt-inyour-mouth center. That tangy goat cheese mellows out the heat from the jalapeños and if you dip them in some cool ranch dressing you’ve got the perfect appetizer.” tortillaflatscantina. com

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

Describe your business. Did you find it, or did it find you?

We’re a boutique DIY workshop that offers hands-on classes where you can create custom and charming home décor—including wood signs, framed signs, canvas wall hangings, pillows, Lazy Susans, and centerpiece boxes—from raw materials. We also offer private events, public classes, and kids’ workshops, and sell a curated selection of fabulous retail (jewelry, décor, and gifts).

It found us! We were all competitive swimmers growing up, and our passion for the sport led us to pursue a career in swimming and teaching swim lessons.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

All of the ladies have other full-time jobs, and this is something they do because they love it—not because it pays the bills. Each of them is amazing and brings something different to the team.

What life accomplishments are you most proud of?

My husband and I took a five-month road trip around the country in a 21-foot travel trailer. It was a big dream of ours and was scary because I quit my job to do it, but it ended up being the best decision and is where I discovered AR Workshop.

What was the first job you ever had, and what did you learn from the experience?

Our first jobs were all in some capacity of customer service. We learned that even if you can’t please every single customer, never stop trying your best to do so. Customers always come first!

How are you involved with both the community and your customer?

We like to get to know people—their different experiences, opinions, and needs.

Why is your staff the best in the business?

My father. He owns and operates a successful electrical contracting company and has opened and sold many other businesses along the way. He’s the hardest working person I’ve ever met, and I strongly value his opinion. He’s amazing!

All of our swim instructors are personally trained and supervised by our owners. Our philosophy is based on over 40 years of experience teaching swim lessons and coaching swim teams. Our instructors go through extensive one-on-one training in order to meet our demanding standards, and we employ one of the most popular and respected swim instruction models in the country. What’s more, we always try our best to let them grow and become even better.

What’s your biggest job perk?

Where do you go when the going gets tough?

Getting to hear how much everyone loves their projects. It’s great when they get completed and it’s time for the big reveal.

To the ocean!

What’s your favorite local event that you go to?

I love going to the local farmers’ markets.

We love seeing children having fun in the water and becoming safe in the pool at a very young age.

What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

What’s your favorite local business other than your own?

Zuda Yoga. It really is life-changing. I introduced my husband to it five years ago, and he tells me how happy he is about it all the time.

Kid’s Camp. We’re close with the owner and even taught her kids how to swim.

Who is your role model in business or in life, and why?

What’s your biggest job perk?
