Creamy Polenta with Parmesan
I dare say, if you love corn, you should certainly love polenta. I know it has a consistency that will put some people off, but if prepared well, the consistency is creamy and divine. Polenta is truly “peasant” food — but I love peasant food; most people do. When someone describes their favourite “comfort food,”…
Cycles Gladiator Petite Sirah (2012)
Here’s a grape that I quite adore for its huge body and rich taste: petite sirah (aka “Durif” outside California and Israel). This is a wine from a black-skinned grape variety, a variety known for its body and which is often used to embolden blends made from weaker grapes. If you don’t like red wine —…
Duck Magret with Sour-Cherry and Port Sauce …
This creation was me saying happy birthday to Benjamin, my über wonder dog of 18 years. That is to say, I’m not the only one in the family that gets weak in the knees when someone says “duck.” Truly, it’s a wonder that over the years I haven’t been beaned with a softball between the eyes…
18 Forever ….
My boy … my friend … my companion … my muse … my spiritual guide and teacher. My Ben …. On April 25th, Benjamin reached the truly remarkable milestone of 18 years. He has seen two centuries, three decades, two countries, two continents, five cities … and more than anything, he has seen me grow…

Giordano Barbera D’asti (2007)
I had a number of options in choosing what to pair with my osso buco. I did think local … really, I did. But in the end, I went to the terroir of the dish, I went to Northern Italy, and I selected from my cellar a wine that’s been sitting there for about 5…
Osso Buco
There are few dishes in the world that I love as much as osso buco which, purely translated, is “hole in the bone.” I love it for the marriage of all its flavours into a comforting, richness. I love the philosophy of this dish. It is “slow food” done to perfection. While this classic Italian…
Fear Not
Fear notIn breath there is hopeDon’t trembleIn arms there is strengthDon’t stumbleIn legs there is a wayDon’t despair In the jaw there is courage Don’t weepIn eyes there is compassionDon’t fallWith my back I will carryDon’t quit In thought there is resolve Don’t retreat In touch there is connection Don’t subtract In morning there is a day Don’t…
Macaroni and Six-Cheeses … with pancetta crumble
If there was a food equivalent of original sin, I think I’ve discovered it. Long have I had the notion of creating a gourmet version of a childhood comfort food so many of us grew up on … create something very very adult. The inspiration for this comes from watching Gordon Ramsay several years ago challenge his…
