Chef of the Month, Edward Lee Chef Lee’s style of cuisine is best described as Seasonal Contemporary American. He showcases the best of each season at 610 Magnolia, much in part due to his strong relationships with local farmers and artisans. Not only are he and his staff learning about farming, they are working along with fourth generation farmer Mindy Wiseman on their own dedicated farm named, appropriately enough, Magnolia Farms. A six-acre farm located in Indiana, Magnolia Farms produces vegetables such as onions, carrots, and asparagus, along with 40 different kinds of herbs. In the spring of 2004, the farm will supply Japanese cucumbers, heirloom beans, shiso leaves and a dozen variations of tomatoes that are all sure to find their way onto the plates at 610 Magnolia.

Cynthia's Corner: Let's Stalk Rhubarb! This month's subject is Rhubarb (or, as I refer to it, the okra of the fruit kingdom). Let's face it - have you ever enjoyed a dish of either of these ingredients after they have been stewed? Slime City!!! The texture is usually unpleasant, and the taste leaves something to be deeply desired. Ah, but blend rhubarb with strawberries, or bake with it, and you enter a different world of delights. (I don't think I can say that about okra, even if I do love slices of it battered and deep-fried - that's about it!) I supposed my fear of stewed rhubarb goes back to my early childhood. My Grandmother Bacon stood about 5 feet in her stockings, but she ruled my tall Grandfather and the rest of us with an iron hand. Grandma came from the Mantheys in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin, of good German stock. Every year, when rhubarb was either ready in her back yard or on the grocery shelves, Grandma prepared a big batch of stewed rhubarb. Each of us, children, parents and grandparents, had to eat a bowl of the stuff. Grandma insisted it was necessary to "thin our winter-thickened blood".

 Welcome to Natalie MacLean's Wine Corner! Our friend Natalie MacLean who was recently named the World’s Best Drink Writer, offers a FREE wine e-newsletter with wine picks, articles and humor at www.nataliemaclean.com Over the next few months, she will host a series of informative wine articles for the Chef2Chef Sunday Culinary Times audience. Today she talks about Barbecue and Wine Barbecue Wines Choosing well done wines to accompany your grilled grub By Natalie MacLean Smoke-scented breezes, sizzling slabs of meat and muffled chaise-lounge non-talk require red-blooded, full-bodied wine. You drink these wines from a gas station cup rather than the soupbowl stemware that coddles those preening little patio sippers. The best barbecue wine stands up to seared flesh, but isn’t so alcoholic that you find yourself arguing with a lawn troll after you drink it. Fresh kill on a flaming pit with humans huddled around is an ancestral thing. However, that doesn’t mean you should drink something well aged. In fact, mature wines lose their nuance outdoors with the competing smells of fresh-cut grass, flowers and your neighbor’s mint aftershave. Delicate, raised-pinky-finger wines also tremble at the grill. When you’ve cremated dinner past recognition, and the meat can only be identified with the carbon-14 dating method, opt for wines that have plenty of fruit, acidity and spiciness. Try northern Italian wines such as Fontanafredda Barbera D’Alba ($11), Masi Valpolicella ($12) and Langhe Dolcetto ($10). They compensate for the dry sensation of the charred meat, whereas tannic, high alcohol wines emphasize it. For the rest of the story, CLICK HERE
