About Our Cover

Kitchen Kitchen

When Kitchen Kitchen celebrated their 36th anniversary last November, owner Jan Boydstun(� e Gadget Gal) re� ected on the history of the business that was started by her parents, Phil and Charlotte Carter in 1979. “Little did I know when they asked me to help out for just four months, how my life would change!” Now 27 years later, with hus-band Gary and their three sons helping out, the meaning of a family business has never been more true! Jan has built on the success of her parents, and it is Jan’s smile, infectious laugh and warm personality that has created the family legacy. In 2009, this legacy was perceptibly inte-grated into the store with the addition of the kitchen in the new location. � is is where the famous mural painted in 1989 honoring Jan’s parents is mounted on the wall. “We built this kitchen as a tribute to Mom and Dad which is why it has added so much warmth to the store. We have cooking classes here and host private events where the customer custom-designs their menu from appetizer to des-sert!” � ey also have free cooking demos of-fering food samples and helpful hints on Free Fun Fridays from 11:00am-1:00pm. � ere is always something fun going on!

Sherman’s Deli and Bakery is a true culinary landmark in Palm Springs and Palm Desert. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, this Kosher-style family restaurant has been the “meeting place” for locals, vacationers and celebrities for over a half a century. Sherman Harris came to the desert in 1953 to visit a friend

East Coast Deli with West Coast Style

at Lawry’s Steak Ranch. He fell in love with the area, stayed on to manage the ranch and realized his true calling when he opened Sherman’s Deli and Bakery. A true family restaurant, it is now run by his son Sam and daughter Janet. Sherman may not be with us anymore, but his presence is felt every day in every way. Sam and Janet remember bussing tables and waiting on tables and listening to their father’s frequent reminders to “treat every one who came through the doors as though they were a guest in your home”. He loved his customers and his community and they loved him back. Sherman’s loyalty and dedication to customer service is as evident today as it was then, carried out by Sam and Janet in the same caring manner as always.

STEPHEN BAUMBACHLANDSCAPE AND PORTRAITURE PHOTOGRAPHERFor over 40 years, Stephen Baumbach has pursued the thing that has captivated him since High School…the art of photogra-phy. He has taught in classrooms, work-shops and been exhibited in numerous shows nationwide. His images range in scope from rodeos to national and inter-national architectural icons. Now settled in Palm Springs, CA since October 2014, his eye is on the surrounding desert…the o˜ -the-grid and outlier areas…that yield an extraordinary beauty he captures with his artists’ eye and his trusty Canon. All his photographs are produced digitally and he personally ÿ nishes each print himself. His love of the desert has him exploring the surrounding areas including the Anza Borrego, Algodones Dunes and Slab City

among others. He plans his sojourns through the use of satellite and weath-er maps, looking for the areas that will yield the treasures and hues he is aim-ing for…the browns, reds, blues, pinks and yellows, which reveal themselves at di˜ erent times of day or night. He refers to some of the images he shoots as the “Eighth Wonders of the World” and there are many who would agree with him. Stephen’s work is broken up into series, which currently include the Anza Borrego desert and Kemuri, which is a study in smoke. His works may be views at www.stephenbaum-bach photography.com.
