ReMARKable Palate #54: Chef Wes Martin on Music, Food Styling, and working as a TV Chef

Chef Wes Martin has taken an unorthodox path in the food business. From waiting tables while studying music in College, to writing cookbooks and styling food for photo shoots, Chef Wes has forged his own path. Food styling brought him into the television business, where he has worked with many of the chefs you know from The Food Network, and he is now entering his second season as head chef of the Martha show, where he can be seen each day preparing the recipes Martha Stewart demonstrates on the program.

Also, we hear some Sweet Indulgences from our friends at the Inwood Farmer's Market!

Food Philosophy #18: More Vanilla Indulgence

I couldn't help it. I needed one more round of vanilla to satiate my palate and feed my need for Sweet Indulgence, so off to the kitchen we go to prepare the latest Pastry Princess creation, Vanilla Pancakes with Broiled Vanilla Plums. (And yes, I forgot something this time, too -- but remembered just in time to finish the recipe!)

CHIC podcast #35: Chef Jim DeWan on Food Writing

Chef Jim De Wan has written for many different publications and most recently writes for the Chicago Tribune on aspects of food. He was one of my students years ago and I find his style singular. He and I sat down to talk about food writing. We did talk about that but I got so much more about Chef Jim himself. See what you think.

CPN - Cuisine From Spain #12

Cuisine From Spain #12: Marinara Clams and Padrón Peppers

Marinara Clams: There are many variations on this recipe, depending where you have it. Sometimes it has a light green sauce if it is made with parsley, or red if you use paprika, in which case it can be either spicy if you use hot paprika, or mild if you use sweet paprika. Any of these combinations is delicious but I have a particular preference for the mild red one, which is the one described below.

Padron Peppers: These small green peppers come from Galicia but can be found in markets all around Spain and are delicious to have as a tapa. There is a Spanish saying which goes “Pimientos del padrón some are hot and some are not” - usually they are not spicy, but every now and again you find a real scorcher that can bring tears to your eyes (or in Marina’s case cause hiccups)!

CPN - Food Philosophy #17

Food Philosophy #17: Intoxicating, Scandalous Vanilla

Forget every rumor you've ever heard that vanilla is bland, boring or otherwise uninteresting -- the Vanilla Queen, Patricia Rain (owner of The Vanilla.COMpany), is here to tell us why those characteristics are exactly wrong. Not only is it one of the most difficult plants to grow, but vanilla also has a sordid past -- and one that might surprise you, for it isn't just the little bean's intoxicating, titillating scent that makes it so expensive.

Patricia Rain's books, The Vanilla Chef and Vanilla: The Cultural History of the World's Favorite Flavor and Fragrance are available in the Gilded Fork Boutique.

Hungry Magazine #22: Cheap Wine, Oh So Fine

This week I sit down with Cameron Hughes, the man some folks are dubbing the robin hood of wine. Hughes owns no vineyards, makes no wine, but he has an inside connection to some of the best wineries that do. The way the model works is many top wineries produce wine that either doesn’t fit in to their profile or they make too much of a wine. That’s where Hughes steps in. He buys up the excess lots and then markets them under his own label and sells them direct on his website or through Costco. Because Hughes bypasses traditional middle men and marketing fees, he’s able to offer incredible wines for about $10 bucks.

Food Philosophy #16: Taste of the Nation Hudson Valley

At last, Taste of the Nation (www.tasteofthenation.org) has returned to the Hudson Valley, and I can think of nowhere more appropriate for it to be showcased than at the Culinary Institute of America (www.ciachef.edu). Created by Share Our Strength (www.strength.org), this wonderful nationwide fundraiser supports anti-hunger programs and unites the efforts of those of us who believe that food is more than just a profession -- as we feed others for a living, we strongly believe that no human being should go hungry, whatever the circumstances. Join me as I taste my way through the rooms of the CIA with Tara, one of my best friends (and an affable partner in crime).

Following are the highlighted tastings from our adventure:

Café Saint-Ex (www.saint-ex.com)
Captain Lawrence Brewing Company (www.captainlawrencebrewing.com)
Keegan Ales (www.keeganales.com)
Gendron Catering (www.gendroncatering.com)

Hungry Magazine #22: It's All Greek

This week we try something different, with a little reporting piece on the history of greek restaurant staples the Gyro and Flaming Saganaki. Flaming Saganaki, Opa, and the whole theatrical production was invented in Chicago on Halsted St in the 1960’s at the Parthenon. The Parthenon also played a role in popularizing the Gyro in Chicago by giving it away as sort of a free amuse course in the late sixties.
