10. Featured Cookbook: The Wild Vine by Todd Kliman
Broadway
Paperbacks
2010
The Wild Vine by Todd Kliman is an incredible tale of an unknown grape, an unrecognized pioneer in viticulture history, and an untraditional winemaker producing notable wine in Virginia. Yes, Virginia, where our oenophile founding father Thomas Jefferson tried unsuccessfully to make more than good juice. Jenni McCloud is making great Norton wine in a state where TJ couldn't. Part history, part mystery, and a wonderful account of the state of winemaking in the United States, we learn how modern science and agriculture practices are now making grape growing possible in every corner of the United States. Even wine experts will learn something, but the novice won't be lost in esoteric wine knowledge.

12. Hanukkah Special: Recipe for Caramelized Apples from Chef Aaron Barnett of St. Jack - Portland, OR
Adapted by StarChefs.com
December 2011
Yield: 4 Servings
INGREDIENTS:
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 6 wedges
1 tablespoon clarified butter
2 tablespoons honey
1 cup white wine
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
METHOD:
In a heavy-bottomed skillet, heat the clarified butter on a medium-high setting. Sear the apple slices on both sides until golden (do in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pan). Remove from the pan and reserve. Add the honey to the pan and cook for 30 seconds, then adde the wine, salt, and pepper. Reduce to a thin caramel consistency. Swirl in the butter and add the apples and cook until glazed, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
