Cooking under the Tuscan sun: Saveur April 2006 in 60 seconds

by Sarah J. Gim, Posted Mar 29th 2006 @ 6:11PM

Given that Saveur's website is "stylishly useless," it's almost unfair to post all the wonderful things that are in the April 2006 issue of the magazine I just received. Consider it simply an express-view for you as you ponder whether to pick it up in the check-out line. (And I'll do my best over the next few weeks to post any adventures I have with the recipes).

A look at the changing fare on college campuses, which are ditching the dining halls and favoring the carts and trucks that serve fast, cheap, and authentic ethnic food like falafel and veggie pakoras at UVM and kimchee and bulgogi accessible to a number of schools in Philadelphia. Of course, I know all about the In-N-Out truck on the UCLA and USC campuses once a year.
Cookbooks under review are Jewish: The Jewish Kitchen by Clarissa Hyman and Matzoh Ball Gumbo: Culinary Tales of the Jewish South by Marcie Cohen Ferris.
In the cellar, the wine of the month is madiran, a "dark, spicy, tannic expression of the French southwest."
In a different kind of cellar, Campbeltown is Scotland's "other" whisky region.
San Francisco chef James Schenk (of Nuevo Latino restaurant Destino) makes alfajores, South American butter cookies filled with dulce de leche.
Stop all the debate. The original recipe for Buffalo wings from the Anchor Bar in Buffalo, New York!
The feature of the magazine is Tuscan trattorias, with recipes for: arista di maiale (roasted herb-stuffed porkloin), fagioli sgranati (white beans with sage), piselli freschi (fresh peas with Prosciutto), pappa al pomodoro (bread and tomato soup), insalata di trippa (cold tripe salad - I doubt I'll be trying this one, but who knows?), pappardelle all'anatra (broad noodles with duck sauce), and fritto misto di coniglio e verdure (fried rabbit and vegetables - imagine serving that to your kids on Easter!).
We love hummus, and who knew Saveur could dedicate six whole pages to the simple chickpea puree?
Le Veau d'Or in Manhattan is "a real French restaurant: the music is terrible but the food is great."
And finally, a look at the endagered Danish tradition of the smorrebrod (different from Swedish smorgasbord).
