A Quick Peek at the Chronicle
Last week, the San Francisco Chronicle celebrated its 20th birthday with the best recipes of the past 20 years. I was particularly intrigued by Barbecued Vietnamese Five-Spiced Cornish Game Hens and Sumatran Red Short Ribs of Beef. Don’t be expecting a festival of sun-dried tomatoes and pesto sauce – there are plenty of recipes that are quite modern despite their age. Check it out.

Last week’s Chronicle is all about flatbread, perfect if you’re in the mood for some savory baking.
Here’s where you can celebrate Oktoberfest in the San Francisco area.
