ReMARKable Palate #64: Cranberry Time!

On my first show as a member of the Podshow Podcast Delivery Network, I speak with Chef Ming Tsai and Gary Garretson, cranberry farmer, about the "Bogs Across America" cranberry bog they built in Rockefeller Center to raise money for America's Second Harvest, the nation's food bank network. Cranberries are an important fruit this time of year on the American table, and a great source of antioxidants and proanthocyanidins. Gary Garretson talks to us about how he farms cranberries, and Ming gives us some tips for holiday cooking using cranberries. We also speak about Ming's appearance on Top Chef, and discuss the phenomenon of Reality cooking shows.

ReMARKable Palate #63: Autumn Smorgasbord

It's a little bit of everything this week, as we taste from the Autumn Buffet. First, I interview Larry Newkirk of the Great San Saba River Pecan Company of Texas about October's Indulgence at the Gilded Fork: The Pecan. Next, it's Jeffrey Shaw of the Spanish Trade Commision on Spanish Olive Oils, and Tomas Simoncini of Tovino, a tour operator which takes visitors on specialised culinary and wine tours of Castile and Leon in Spain. Finally, I go to the Farmer's Market for a taste of Artisanal cheese from Valley Shepherd Creamery.

ReMARKable Palate #60: The Great Match: Spanish Wine and Tapas

Jennifer and I attended The Great Match: Wine and Tapas event in late September, presented by Wines From Spain. The event was a fundraiser for Citymeals on Wheels, an organization co-founded in 1981 by James Beard and Gael Greene (listen to Food Philosophy #24 for the interview with Gael Greene). I speak with Katrin Naelapaa, Director of Wines From Spain, then with several of the wine producers, and finally with several of the chefs participating in this great event, which raised $30,000 for Citymeals on Wheels.

ReMARKable Palate #59: Say Fromage, s'il vous plait

The rivalry of Britain and France is legendary, and the realm of cheese offers no exception to this age-old battle. In part II of our look at British and French cheeses (Part I, Britain, was on Food Philosophy #23), Jennifer and I feature some cheese specialists who offer their insights on what makes each country's varieties unique in terms of flavor profiles and characteristics. Today I speak with Lionel Giraud of MS Selection Export, who clues us in on some of the more than 300 great French Cheeses made in his country. Vive la France!

Also, we're featuring some gift selections from our Gilded Fork Online Boutique, in plenty of time for your holiday preparations. This week, I talk about our Soy Candles by Phebes Gilded Fork Collection.

ReMARKable Palate #54: Chef Wes Martin on Music, Food Styling, and working as a TV Chef

Chef Wes Martin has taken an unorthodox path in the food business. From waiting tables while studying music in College, to writing cookbooks and styling food for photo shoots, Chef Wes has forged his own path. Food styling brought him into the television business, where he has worked with many of the chefs you know from The Food Network, and he is now entering his second season as head chef of the Martha show, where he can be seen each day preparing the recipes Martha Stewart demonstrates on the program.

Also, we hear some Sweet Indulgences from our friends at the Inwood Farmer's Market!
