On the plane back from Alabama, I had a thorough look at Food & Wine’s June issue. I was so impressed that I promptly dropped off my subscription request at the Denver airport. Here’s a roundup of a few highlights:
Chinese Coleslaw
Pretzel Crusted Crab Cakes
Ginger Marinated Bulgogi Style Chicken – Tried this last night, recommended.
Thai Turkey Burger
Fat Tray from Alessi
Dry Fly Distilling, a craft distillery in Spokane, Washington.
Trina Turk cocktail napkins
Bodum picnic charcoal grill

V Lounge, Waikiki – pastry chef from Nobu has opened his own pizza joint.
The Ranch House, Honolulu – local favorites
Table One Halekulani, Waikiki – personally designed menus by Chef Garg
La Cantine Merci, Paris – fashion, a used-book cafĂ©, a haberdashery and a flower shop with a communal table.
I know it’s Food and WINE and there were some good recommendations in this issue. I didn’t have much luck finding them at the BC Liquor Store. Supposedly we should be on the lookout for 2009 South African Chenin Blancs or Sauvignon Blancs.

love food and wine = I often make this poached egg supper from a saved ratty issue with roast spuds and smoked fish – awesome! and ya chenin blancs are tasty – perhaps Danielle has some BC VQA alternatives to suggest – although with world cup fever I say drink RSA all the way!!
can we have the recipe??
