2010 Boutari Santorini Assyrtiko
March 28, 2012 By
I enjoy Greek wines and picked up this little number, which is easy to find, to pair with sashimi and rolls I was having from the local sushi restaurant this weekend. In the glass, this Greek wine is a medium honey yellow – really pretty. On the nose, the 2010 Boutari Santorini Assyrtiko is lemony […]

Traditional French Onion Soup
March 27, 2012 By
Post updated 12/7/21. There may not be a more comforting soup than the traditionalFrench onion soup. With hundreds of variations on the classic, everyone has his/her own favorite. This version is one I have fine-tuned over the years and features both Gruyere cheese for a rich, nutty taste and Mozzarella for stringiness. Sometimes I use […]

Adara – New Jewel in Montclair’s Upscale Restaurant Crown
March 26, 2012 By
10/21/12 Update: After a visit on 10/20/12, I can no longer recommend Adara. The food is still delicious, but the new staff’s poor job and the 4-hour wait for three courses is not worth the food. Adara, located in a secluded area off busy Bloomfield Avenue, offers perhaps the best culinary experience to be had […]

Slow Cooker BBQ Chicken Drumsticks with Cremini Mushrooms
March 20, 2012 By
I’m a huge fan of the produce department at Target and when I discovered the chicken products by Gold’ N Plump, a company that buys chicken from a group of 300 midwest farmers dedicated to the humane treatment of animals and to quality products, the recipe wheels started turning on how I’d prepare chicken using […]

ZED Moscato Rosé – Blushing Surprise
March 19, 2012 By
If you read this blog, you’ll have figured out that I love rosé and sparkling wines. I just find them perfect as an aperitif or with many foods and one can typically find a favorite at an affordable price. The winemakers at Australia’s Jacob’s Creek have developed an easy-drinking, affordable sparkling rosé that is certain […]

Garlic Growing – What You Need to Know
March 12, 2012 By
Every time I visit my dad in Quebec, he boasts about the garlic he grows. It’s something he’s proud of and the last time I was there, he gave me a whole bag to bring back. The variety he uses is the Asian Tempest – powerful with a long shelf life once harvested. I’ve been […]
