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.
