And do you take vitamins?  There is increasing evidence that they are doing nothing for you.  Plus, the best bakeries in LA.

    Margot Dougherty makes a best- of list for LA's bakeries. And vitamins aren't doing you any favors according to Dr. Will Clower. If a hurricane destroys a community, can family recipes build it back up? Judy Walker will let us know. Abby Dodge gets busy with carrot cake and says it's making a comeback. Jonathan Gold eats at Bazaar, the new restaurant. And Erik Knutzen & Kelly Coyne push the Urban Homestead movement -- learn to cook, grow and harvest. Rather than open your own commercial kitchen, why not rent one that's already set up? Andrea Bell talks about her shared spaces. Plus Laura Avery hears how to make a fish dinner in 15 minutes.
