El Dorado Winery Association Tasting: March 20, San Francisco

One of the trends in the wine industry I’m happiest about involves the increasing initiative that wine regions are taking in making themselves visible to the public. Such activities by individual AVAs, or American Viticultural Areas, produce two important results: increased awareness of the individual region, and increased awareness of the difference between regions for consumers. I’m in full support. Public tasting events are one of the chief ways such wine regions are producing this visibility. These events are not only a lot of fun to go to, they are a wonderful education. While visiting the region is the best way to understand the wines, not everyone has the time, the energy, or the means to visit many of California’s wine regions. Even those who do can’t visit more than five or six wineries in a day’s tasting. But at these large tastings, the curious consumer can taste the efforts of twenty, fifty, or a hundred different wineries, and very quickly get a read on a specific region. Which brings me to the little tasting going on in about a week at Postrio Restaurant here in San Francisco. Twenty-four wineries from El …

Porcini & Crimini Mushroom Orzo "Risotto" Recipe

When the husband’s away the wife will…eat mushrooms. As I explained in a previous post, my husband detests mushrooms, but made a significant culinary sacrifice to impress me on our first date. Out of respect for my husband’s fungus-phobic palate, I rarely cook with mushrooms while he is at home. The only good thing about his business trips, besides being able to sprawl my body across the bed

Maple Grade B Syrup: the A, B, C’s of it.

Maple Grade B Syrup is the new Grade A , mark my words foodies! I love maple syrup. It is my #1 sweetener of choice. All natural, made from maple tree sap and animal product free. I mash it into sweet potatoes, drizzle it into soy yogurt, marinate savory-sweet tempeh with it, spoon it into smoothies, and whip it into baked goods. Ah, luscious maple syrup has an earthy caramel smell with woody notes of vanilla , one sniff and I am transported to a cozy log cabin in the woods overlooking a winter white snowbank. Inside, I sit fireside and sip tea, snugly in my soft slippers; in the kitchen fluffy pancakes sizzle on a hot grill and a tall pitcher of maple syrup on the table awaits my grasp. The Grade B Myth. My love affair with the maple leaf got quite complex as I realized that my true love Grade A syrup may not be my true love at all! Is it the scruffy, dark toned, musty Grade B syrup that my palate truly desires? And what about nutrient…

Silver Palate Cookbook 25th Anniversary Edition

Review

First published in 1982, The Silver Palate Cookbook was an instant smash. It offered 350 stylish but easy recipes that reflected and helped cement America’s burgeoning interest in quality cooking. It acquainted cooks with “gourmet” ingredients, just beginning to appear in our markets. And it helped many a host to shine. The collection, whose recipes range from hors d’oeuvres to sweets, now arrives in a 25th-anniversary edition, which reproduces the original text and adds color photos throughout, often dropped into the text pages. All the old favorites, including Marinated Eggplant Livia, Chicken Marbella, Blanquette de Vaeu, and Blackberry Mousse are present, along with information about ingredients, menus, quotes…

Edible Beauties that Smell Like A Sweet Spring Day

Nasturtiums not only are beautiful to look at with vibrant colors, smell like a beautiful Spril morning but they also taste surprisingly good. Ask for them at your local Farmer’s Market. My favorite farmer, BD, tells me that they’re really easy to grow. I purchased a bunch for $2.00. I’ll be using them to make my Easter brunch salad — a feast for the eyes and the palate.
