Ask Well: Does Cooking Strip Red Wine's Benefits? - NYTimes.com:

"The short answer is probably yes: You can drink your wine and cook it too.

Red wine essentially has two properties that make it good for health when consumed in moderation. One is its alcohol content, which is known to increase “good” HDL cholesterol and reduce levels of fibrinogen, a precursor of blood clots. The other is its abundance of polyphenols, natural compounds like resveratrol that, according to some studies, can protect blood vessels and help reduce inflammation."

Chez Panisse - The Head Chefs

Image via WikipediaWhen I hear the restaurant name, Chez Panisse, I usually jump to the name of Alice Waters. But wait, there are some other key players, namely the head chefs, David Tanis and Jean-Pierre Moulle'.

Tanis just published his new book, Heart of the Artichoke and Other Kitchen Journeys, that is a sequel to his A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes. The new book continues and expands on the idea and feeling of intimate French dinners, for small, medium, and large gatherings.

Sprouting Garlic Cloves - Tips

Image via Wikipedia

I was watching a TV show today and learned a couple things about storing garlic cloves, and what a green sprout coming out of the clove means.

First, it's probably not a good idea to store garlic cloves in the refrigerator, because they'll tend to grow and send out a green shoot.  It's better to store them warm and dry to keep them dormant.

Second, if your cloves have sprouted, and you eat them, you can expect them to taste slightly bitter. So when prepping, it's a good idea to remove the green shoots.
