ReMARKable Palate #67: Hellenic Food and Wine

Opa! I was recently invited to a Hellenic Food and Wine event at the Battery Gardens Restaurant in Battery Park, in New York City. It overlooks the Statue of Liberty and New York Harbor, and was a fitting setting for celebrating the food and wines of the Grecian isles. With wine merchants and restaurateurs from around New York City, they represented producers from Cyprus, the Cyclades Islands, the Peleponnesus and the Greek mainland, we got a chance to taste many wines and mezes from all around the region, and I got a chance to practice my pronunciation, with varying degrees of success! It was a wonderful evening, as we learned that Hellenic food and wine is more than just spanikopita and retsina.

Food Philosophy #31: Endangered Pleasures

The fascists are at it again. The attempt to ban foie gras has come to New York City, and you can be damn sure I’ve got something to say about it. It is time for people to stand up for individual rights with the kind of volume typically reserved for animal rights, and that means you. Are you comfortable with the government dictating what you can and cannot eat?

Pleasures are becoming more endangered with every day that passes here in the Nanny State, and if you don’t stand up now for your individual freedoms, don’t be surprised when the Puritans are running every last detail of your existence. If you want to voice your opinion on the matter, contact your New York City Council legislators at the following:
http://www.nyccouncil.info/constituent/

On a happier note, and in salute to the ideal of pleasure – the kind that is both sinless and guilt-free – I’m delighted to feature a chat with entrepreneur Dick Pyle about the Truffle Tree empire he has created in Gascony. Thanks to his ingenuity and passion, you can now buy your very own truffle tree in France and partake of the bountiful treasures to be found beneath the ground.

Food Philosophy #30: Gianni Gagliardo and Tasty Beverages

There's nothing like a tasty beverage this time of year, and in addition to one fantastical flaming coffee recipe, it's time to explore wine with Gianni Gagliardo (www.gagliardo.it), founder of the famous Barolo Wine Auction. Gianni is a pioneer in the Piemonte region, where he stepped away from convention to blaze his own trail in wines -- ones that are now filling my wine rack.

I'm also getting better at wine tasting, so it looks like that trip to Italy is having a domino effect on my senses. I do believe the word "toast" came out of my mouth -- the bread variety, no less. I'll be a pseudo-expert in no time.

Food Philosophy #29: Thanksgiving Entertaining Tips

Yes, it's that time of year again, when we gather with The Family to bask in dysfunctionality, and celebrate the chaos to come for the next few weeks. Thankfully (no pun) the meal usually makes up for it, but what about decor? Should one brine or baste? What about lists?

All those things are important, my friends, and we are diving head-first into the details this week. Get the tips you can use to stay calm and carefree for Thanksgiving (come on, dream with me). You'll learn how to accent your table, create ambience and stimulate the senses of your guests, and Chef Mark has stopped by to tell you what to do with that bird.

Of course, that's *after* Chef Mark pulled a Benedict Arnold and decided to step into Adam Curry's kitchen, where he assisted the enemy in my recipe throwdown. Hmph.

For those of you outside the US, fear not, for I have not abandoned you this week! While we step into a tryptophan coma on this side of the pond, I have a delicious Coffee Spiced Lamb recipe just for you. (Can I come to your house? Please?)

CHIC Podcast #46: Thanksgiving Part 1

John Fuente and I talk about that great American holiday, Thanksgiving. We had the idea that we would do one show on just the bird, the turkey. The next show will be about the side dishes, wine and of course leftovers. In this show we take you from ordering or purchasing your bird through preparing and finally carving your turkey. It's a lively show with lots of information for the home cook so you might want to get a note pad and a pencil. We have a lot to talk about.

ReMARKable Palate #64: Cranberry Time!

On my first show as a member of the Podshow Podcast Delivery Network, I speak with Chef Ming Tsai and Gary Garretson, cranberry farmer, about the "Bogs Across America" cranberry bog they built in Rockefeller Center to raise money for America's Second Harvest, the nation's food bank network. Cranberries are an important fruit this time of year on the American table, and a great source of antioxidants and proanthocyanidins. Gary Garretson talks to us about how he farms cranberries, and Ming gives us some tips for holiday cooking using cranberries. We also speak about Ming's appearance on Top Chef, and discuss the phenomenon of Reality cooking shows.

Food Philosophy #28: Fontanafredda Winery

Fontanafredda (http://www.fontanafredda.it/) is Piemonte's largest winery, and a location so lovely that rumor has it (no pun) that none other than Brad Pitt is looking at the property.

Take a tour of the winery with me as Rosina Tinari Wilson of Wine X magazine (www.winexmagazine.com) shares her insights on red wine, from the late October harvest to the scientific reactions of tannins with proteins like cheese and meat.

Check out a sneak preview of Chef Mark's upcoming interview with Ming Tsai on the ReMARKable Palate podcast, where they discuss cranberries, holiday cooking and Top Chef, the culinary reality show (www.culinarypodcastnetwork.com).
