"Chef's Magic" with Chef Alan Crosby

Summer Harvest!
Well, it’s begun! That ever so short time where we get to enjoy all that comes with summer. Mostly good weather, days at the beach, outdoor cooking (okay I do that in January too!) and local berries. This week and the few weeks to follow it’s strawberry season. Local strawberries! Not big impressive shiny berries that spent as much time on a plane as any frequent flyer. They will be followed by local blueberries, raspberries and blackberries.

Take the time to enjoy them while they’re here. Spend a whole day with your local berries. Start out with breakfast: top your cereal in the morning with fresh plump blueberries, try fresh raspberries in your pancakes and instead of putting blueberries in the cakes when you cook them, sprinkle them on top with your maple syrup for a cool burst of flavor.

For Lunch? Put them in a salad. There’s nothing better than the sweet tangy bite of fresh fruit mixed with savoury ingredients in a fresh lettuce salad topped with some crumbled goat cheese, toasted nuts, warm chicken and diced tomatoes.

For dinner, make them into a salsa with a squeeze of lime some olive oil and minced onion and fresh seeded jalapeno peppers for a great salmon topper. For dessert, sure they’re a natural. My favorite summer dessert, Pavlova! It fits in with my disdain for baking in July. Just a buy a package of pre made crisp meringue cups, fill them with slightly sweetened whipped cream and top it with blueberries, raspberries and local strawberries macerated with orange liquor, sugar and black pepper, and for that authentic touch, a little sliced kiwi to pay homage to it’s New Zealand roots. What could be more delicious and simple than that. Dessert in five minutes and the perfect end to a day spent enjoying great local produce.

"Off the Vine" with Sommelier Dan Tanner
1st Annual Atlantic Canada Wine Competition Favourites

Earlier in June, I had honour of being invited to be a judge for the 1st Annual Atlantic Canada Wine Competition along with eleven others. There just isn't anything I would rather do on a Sunday afternoon than being required to taste some of Atlantic Canada's finest. I say Atlantic Canada's finest because there were some awesome entries not only from Nova Scotia but also New Brunswick and PEI.

We had an impressive first year entry of 114 wines. Luckily we were broken up into teams and assigned a third of the wines as I'm sure speech and walking may have been an issue if I had to try all 114 of them. Judges were not given the names of the wines so there would be no bias, but once we finished I did sneak back into the kitchen to try a few of the wines that weren't in my groupings to taste.

Award winning wines were announced at the Catch Seafood Festival on June 27th - 28th in Halifax. The list will definitely be worth looking up and tracking down some of these great wines.

In addition to trying Nova Scotia wines at this competition, I have been traveling around the province to track down some new wines for the list this year and revisit some old favourites. I thought this month I'd share a couple of my favourites with you.

Benjamin Bridge Nova 7, 2008
This wine was a hit at the last wine tasting we had at the resort. This slightly-sparkling white is a beautifully aromatic example of muscat being produced a little differently than we are used to, but works very well. This low alcohol wine is perfect to start the night or to finish it, your choice. Beautiful orange zest and rosewater characteristics jump out of the glass.

L'Acadie Vineyards Traditional Method Brut
Another interesting and well made quality wine from Bruce Ewert. A Traditional Method sparkling wine made from the L'Acadie Blanc grape that grows so well here in Nova Scotia . This wine shows Champagne like qualities with a nice bready quality, a slightly mineral backbone, and a light fruit quality. A great Sparkling Nova Scotian wine.

Grand Pre Vintner's Reserve Castel 2007
Arguably my favourite red wine in Nova Scotia . I've had this grape in Ontario before and it doesn't even come close to the quality of Grand Pre 's version. Shows wonderful Beaujolais like qualities with cherry candy, blackberry, blueberry and a touch of herbal quality along with a good balance of acid and tannin.

Cheers!
