New Hospital Cuisine: Dishes Made to Order
Wall Street Journal - Food & Drink &bull Feb 21, 2012
Pnina Peled, executive chef at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, recently faced an unusual culinary challenge: A teenage cancer patient wanted pizza, but chemotherapy treatments had dulled the girl's taste buds and she could only taste lemon.

After some trial and error, the chef created a pizza with a lemon Alfredo sauce for the young patient. Getting patients in a cancer hospital to eat is a challenge. But the children don't understand why food doesn't taste… Full Story »

Craggy Range Wines
Benito's Wine Reviews &bull Feb 15, 2012
When I received the wines of Craggy Range from New Zealand, I experienced that momentary thrill that I get whenever something has taken a very long trip from the farm to the table. Yes, I know that with that statement, millions of locavores suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. I like the eating local thing when… Full Story »

Wine Country Cruising
Wine Enthusiast - Web Edition &bull Feb 1, 2012
For centuries, the easiest way to move heavy wine casks around Europe was by boat-it is no coincidence that many of the continent's wine regions are readily accessible by sea, river or canal. That same network of trade routes gives present-day travelers an opportunity to explore wine country at a 19th-century pace, away from the rush of the autoroute or the bustle of the local train stations. It's an escape of sorts, the kind of vacation where you kick back and let someone else handle the details. There may be a more civilized way to enjoy the wine and food… Full Story »
