BROWN BUTTER COOKIE COMPANY Your Charming Local Cookie Factory INTERVIEW WITH CO-OWNER, CHRISTA HOZIE ABOUT INSPIRATIONAL FLAVORS AND COOKIE FANS by Audrey Johns
I
t’s fitting that just steps from the sea sits a charming cookie company in Cayucos known for the sprinkling of sea salt and other equally intriguing ingredients that they top their cookies with. The Brown Butter Cookie Company takes the average cookie and turns it into an elegant treat, so elegant and unique that many local brides call upon them for wedding favors.
Fruity flavors like citrus and coconut lime are a perfect treat to enjoy on a sun-filled afternoon at the beach, where the original Brown Butter Cookie Company resides along the Cayucos downtown coastline. Equally delicious are their decadent cocoa and espresso flavors and of course the local favorite, the original brown butter sugar cookie.
In this personal interview, Christa Hozie co-owner of the Brown Butter Cookie Company with her sister, Traci Hozie, describes cookie recipe inspiration, their beloved staff and cookie fans, and the ways that the two sisters successfully run their cookie factory store fronts in downtown Cayucos and Paso Robles, their newest location. indulge | SAN LUIS OBISPO

INTERVIEW WITH CO-OWNER, CHRISTA HOZIE: Indulge Magazine: How many cookies do you make a day? Christa: We hand make around 5,000 cookies about five days a week in our Cayucos shop. We make more in the summer and during the holiday season! All of our cookies are hand rolled in what we like to call, "open kitchen" style so our customers can watch cookies being made when they visit our Cayucos location. Indulge Magazine: What is your most popular cookie? Christa: Our original Brown Butter Sea Salt cookie is the most popular cookie bar far. We enjoy creating new flavors to keep our offerings fresh but we never try to "top" the original. Each flavor is unique and has it's own following! Indulge Magazine: What is your inspiration when looking for new flavors? Christa: We are inspired by so many things, we like to keep connected to the culinary world. What great chefs are cooking and drinking may inspire us or just the love of something simple like almond, our newest flavor. Our almond cookie was inspired by our love of a simple almond croissant, which has a light yet delicious almond and butter flavor. Indulge Magazine: Do you have any celebrity cookie fans? Christa: We do! We have had many celebrities visit our shop over the years but we do not name names. We like to treat them like anyone else when they visit, but we do get a little star struck after they leave! 8
indulge | SAN LUIS OBISPO
Indulge Magazine: Besides weddings, do you take orders for other special events? Christa: We receive tons of orders for special events and also for corporate gifting orders. We try to participate in local events whenever possible but as our business get busier we tend to need all hands on deck to keep our shops stocked and website orders filled. Indulge Magazine: Do you have plans to open more stores? Christa: We could not pass up the fabulous Paso Robles downtown location. We do not have any plans to open more shops this year but you never know, life moves very fast in our cookie world. Now in their sixth year of business, Christa attributes the success of the Brown Butter Cookie Company to their “amazing dedicated staff ” that she says she could not live without. “Our customer’s support and passion for our cookies is priceless,” Christa explains, “We would not be where we are without all of our terrific customers.” Stop by the Brown Butter Cookie Company downtown locations at 98 North Ocean Avenue in Cayucos open 9:00am-6:00pm and 801 12th Street in Paso Robles open 11:00am-6:00pm. Peruse their variety of selections and glutenfree options or order online at www.brownbuttercookies.com and by phone at 805-995-2076.

SUNSET SAVOR THE CENTRAL COAST Anticipation Grows as Details of this Year’s Event Are Unveiled NEW SURPRISES INCLUDE: VIP PACKAGES, CELEBRITY CHEFS AND EVENTS
F
resh from winning the 2014 Fame Award for Best Epicurean Event, Sunset SAVOR the Central Coast organizers announced plans to dish up plenty of delicious surprises this September 25th-28th, 2014. From new VIP packages and two marquis celebrity chefs to new main and evening events, wine and food lovers have many reasons to visit for the first time or return for another taste. Sunset SAVOR the Central Coast is a unique partnership 16 indulge | SAN LUIS OBISPO
between Sunset, the West’s leading lifestyle brand, and Visit San Luis Obispo County, the destination marketing organization for San Luis Obispo County, located midway between San Francisco and Los Angeles. The four-day lifestyle event takes place at the renowned Santa Margarita Ranch and throughout the region highlighting the destination’s unique Central Coast locations and active outdoor, farm-to-table lifestyle, making it the premier wine and food event in the West.
“With Sunset SAVOR the Central Coast and the destination winning major accolades, we think the event will be more popular than ever this year,” said Stacie Jacob, CEO of Visit San Luis Obispo County. “Unlike most culinary events these days, which can take place anywhere, SAVOR was inspired by the place it calls home – one of the most abundant agricultural regions in the U.S. With an unspoiled ‘old California’ lifestyle, a visit to the region inspires visitors to unplug and enjoy the
moment. At SAVOR, people love that they get sophisticated seminars in a more relaxed atmosphere with a great chance of meeting celebrity and local chefs, acclaimed winemakers and Sunset editors. Our evening events and adventure tours give visitors an opportunity to explore the destination, from Hearst Castle and charming coastal towns to wine country.” PHOTOS BY BRITTANY APP KAORI FUNAHASHI
Always a sell-out, the magical opening evening Sunset at Hearst Castle returns, where guests can take-in the Pacific with a wine paring from the 2014 Sunset International Wine Competition and enjoy farm-to-table delights from Chef Meagan Loring. A portion of ticket proceeds will benefit Friends of Hearst Castle’s efforts to restore the magnificent sixteenth-century Spanish Madéjar coffered ceiling in Hearst Castle’s Morning Room. The Main Event at Santa Margarita Ranch will take place September 27th28th and will feature Chef Central and Winemaker Central ticketed seminars ($25 each) as well as general admission access to tent tastings featuring leading winemakers, farmers, artisan food purveyors and the sounds of local bands in the Estrada Gardens. The much-anticipated American Lamb Board’s national grand finale contest, Lamb Jam, is back this year. Tickets to the Main Event include all tastings, farmto-table and travel and adventure stage demonstrations. Adventure Tours – some led by Sunset experts – are back September 25th-26th, ranging from creating botanical spa products and abalone farming to roaming with clydesdales, winemaking in Paso Robles and a behind-the-scenes tour of Hearst Castle. CELEBRITY CHEFS Perhaps best known for his appearance on season five of Top Chef, LA Chef and Restaurateur Fabio Viviani will bring a little Italian flavor to SAVOR, from inspiring seminars to signing his New York Times bestseller Fabio’s Italian Kitchen. San Francisco Bay Area Celebrity Chef Tanya Holland brings a little soul to SAVOR with her inventive take on modern soul food, as well as comfort classics as seen on her Soul Food show on Food Network. She will also sign her new book – The Brown Sugar Cookbook. “For passionate food lovers who travel the national culinary event circuit, or people who simply want to experience the best of the California Central Coast lifestyle, Sunset SAVOR the Central Coast offers four days of unforgettable culinary experiences, where you can taste fantastic wine and food and connect to the artisans behind them and the land where they’re grown,” said Peggy Northrop, Sunset Editor-in-Chief. “You can
also relax and savor exclusive, but uniquely accessible experiences like Sunset editorled events, a rare evening at Hearst Castle, vineyard concerts and much more.” The Main Event takes place on September 27th-28th at Santa Margarita Ranch located at 9000 Yerba Buena Avenue in Santa Margarita.

SKINNY WINE TASTING Five Easy Tips to Enjoy Wine This Summer MINIMIZE CALORIES WHILE YOU MAXIMIZE YOUR WINE TASTING EXPERIENCE BY AUDREY JOHNS
Y
ou can have your “cake” and eat it too, or more importantly, have your wine and drink it too! So often when we’re watching our diets we have a laundry list of things on the “no-no” list, but of course that only makes us want those things more. Instead of focusing on what you can’t have, focus on what you can have and make the most of it. Go wine tasting – but plan it around a healthy activity, enjoy a tasty while you’re out but have a healthy snack before you leave – tips like these will help you have your wine and drink it all summer long.
Drink your water! How often do you look
back at your day and realize that you haven’t had any water yet? The absolute first step to losing weight is to drink you water every day. Stay hydrated and full!
Don’t leave hungry!
Don’t leave the house hungry. Have a light, healthy snack so that when you arrive to taste wine, you won’t be as consumed by all of the usual temptations.
Cook it, cook it good. When you go out
wine tasting, bring something healthy with you. Cook easy appetizers to enjoy in the tasting room or at a leisurely picnic outside. Prepare items that travel well and even think about flavors that will pair with wines you will be tasting.
Make good choices.
Before you start loading up your plate take a look at all choices available. Without becoming obsessed with calorie counting, try to improve your choices in ways that you can control. For instance, try to fill up on available foods that you know are most healthy before moving on to the delicious but less healthier options.
Move your body!
How about a hike amidst your wine tasting adventure? Many wineries in the area have trails, walking paths or vineyard tours onsite or nearby. Bring your basket of picnic items and pick up a bottle of vino at your favorite spot and walk until you find a place to enjoy! indulge | SAN LUIS OBISPO
