Aside from the wonderful educational experience of Tawse Winery and terroir, I was delighted to find out that we would be treated to lunch by the Chefs of The Only on King. The Only on King has been on my list of restaurants to try for quite some time now, ever since it was named to enRoute magazine's Top Ten New Restaurants in 2008.
I was lucky enough to have been invited to a Terroir trip at Tawse Winery along with some fellow food and wine writers. It's been a while since I was last in the Niagara wine region and I was due for another trip back. This trip was certainly to be a treat for all, as Tawse was recently named Canada's Winery of the Year, and I was eager to taste some of their Gold Medal-winning wines.
Sometimes the best meals come out of spontaneity: opening up your fridge or cupboards and seeing what you have in stock. I don't have the luxury of doing that very often. The week is pretty hectic so I usually have to plan around work, and I'm the kind of shopper who needs to bring a detailed grocery list with me or otherwise I'll buy everything that fancies my whim and end up throwing a lot out before I can get through it.
I was delighted to find out that there was a new cooking group for Dorie Greenspan's new cookbook, Around My French Table. I missed out on "Tuesdays with Dorie", and like many other fans out there, I really enjoyed Dorie's Baking: From My Home to Yours. To have a chance to cook through Dorie's latest one with fellow Dorie fans makes up for it.
Chicken wings are delicious deep-fried. I certainly can't deny a good buffalo wing. But they can be just as delicious in healthy braised version. The Chinese often like to braise our dishes, and chicken wings are no exception.
