Style Magazine - Readers Choice Awards - Roseville Granite Bay Rocklin 2022
In this month’s issue, our biggest of the year, we’re celebrating the season—along with all our region’s small businesses (and business owners)—in a big way. If you’re like me and read magazines back to front, then start with “Last Look” on page 82 for an autumn-esque picture snapped locally and our favorite leaf-peeping locales, including East Sacramento—an urban forest that’s currently awash in a canopy of yellow, orange, and crimson-colored trees. Leaving the leaves behind, turn to page 68 for some easy, autumn-inspired recipes utilizing the cream of the harvest crop, including a butternut squash risotto you’ll be eager to reheat…and have on repeat. In honor of the most hallowed holiday—the one where consuming colossal amounts of candy and donning creepy costumes is A-OK—we asked area distilleries for their “boo”ziest, most spirited cocktails. Pick your poison (I think I’ll start with the Midori-spiked, freaky-looking “Frankenstein”) on page 72. We also share some fun, festive Halloween happenings in The 10 Spot (page 16) that are sure to (pumpkin) spice up the season. Around here, it wouldn’t be October without our annual “Best of” feature, where we announce the winners of this year’s Readers’ Choice Awards. It’s a personal favorite because I always discover new (literally) winning places around town to support—like Pasty Pies of the World and Exhilaration Station—and am reminded of all the talented, innovative entrepreneurs our region is teeming with. Find out if your favorite people and places made the list starting on page 51. There’s much more in store, too, including an inspiring, informative piece about local women beating breast cancer (page 20); a spotlight on some of the area’s best bands (page 26); and tips on making sure your WFH office is an authentic place of productivity, whether you prefer to work indoors or (like me!) out (page 54). I hope you’ll agree that these glossy print pages are as plentiful and uplifting as the autumn season itself. Enjoy! ——Megan megan@stylemg.com @meggoeggowaffle

Cool<br />
by TERRY CARROLL<br />
Stuff<br />
I decided to wander away from<br />
my audio gear and found myself<br />
in the kitchen, of course! Here<br />
are three best-in-class products<br />
you’ll find in our area and use<br />
almost, if not, every day!<br />
Philips 4300 Fully<br />
Automatic Espresso<br />
Machine<br />
I’m now a barista, and<br />
a pretty darn good one,<br />
according to my wife—all<br />
because I bought this<br />
machine. From coffee<br />
to cappuccinos to espresso and more, the Philips<br />
4300 Fully Automatic Espresso Machine delivers.<br />
It also stores your drinks in its memory, grinds<br />
beans, and creates coffee shop-quality drinks at<br />
the push of a button; it even foams milk! (Use 2%<br />
for the best foam, IMO). Best of all, it will pay for<br />
itself and keep you out of those long coffee shop<br />
lines. $899, available at Crate & Barrel<br />
Vertical Rabbit<br />
Corkscrew<br />
While I love a screw<br />
cap, most wines are<br />
still corked. Honestly,<br />
though, I just want<br />
my wine with as little<br />
work occurring as<br />
possible. The first time I used the Rabbit, I was<br />
astonished—and I created a bit of a problem. My<br />
wife came home to find me in the kitchen with 11<br />
bottles of wine open. When she asked me why, I<br />
just stood there, babbled “…so easy to open…” If<br />
you drink wine and don’t own one, the question<br />
is, “wine not?” $59.99, available at Total Wine<br />
& More<br />
Zyliss Easy Pull<br />
Chopper<br />
OK, I love to cook, but<br />
I don’t like to prepare<br />
everything. I’m always<br />
looking for shortcuts<br />
when it comes to<br />
chopping but cleaning a<br />
food processor takes longer than cooking a meal!<br />
A friend mentioned this little device, and now<br />
I give them out as gifts: It’s the BEST KITCHEN<br />
GADGET EVER! Pull the string and chop anything.<br />
Buy one—you’ll thank me! $39.95, available at<br />
Sur La Table<br />
