“You know, the ancient Egyptians had a beautiful belief about death. When their souls got to the entrance to heaven, the guards asked two questions. Their answers determined whether they were able to enter or not. ‘Have you found joy in your life?’ ‘Has your life brought joy to others?’” - Morgan Freeman

“ The discovery of a new dish does more for the happiness of mankind than the discovery of a star.� -Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
PAGE 29
Inside Out Caramel Apples 3 large Granny Smith apples 1 large lemon 2 cups brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 2 tbs butter 2 tbs light corn syrup 1 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup chopped pecans Chocolate sauce (optional)
Cut your apples in half and use a melon baller to scoop out the insides, leaving the walls intact at about 1/2 to 1/4 inch thickness. Squeeze the juice from the lemon onto the apples and allow to set. This will keep them from turning brown right away. In a sauce pan over high heat, add the brown sugar, butter, heavy cream and corn syrup. Stir until the brown sugar has dissolved. Then leave it to boil, untouched (don’t stir), until it reaches 230 degrees, about 7-10 minutes. Remove from heat and add the vanilla, stir until it stops bubbling. Allow to cool for about 10-15 minutes. Using a paper towel, wipe your apples down, removing the lemon juice as much as possible. If the inside of your apple is too wet, the caramel wont stick. Pour the caramel into the hollowed out apples until just below the top. Sprinkle with pecans. Chill in the refrigerator until the caramel has set, about 20 minutes. Cut into slices and drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.

Portabella Pizza Bites
6 mini Portabella mushrooms (or 2 large Portabella mushroom caps) 1/2 cup marinara sauce (if all you have is a tomato, you can try my Xed Pizza Sauce) 1/2 oz. turkey pepperoni (approx. 6 slices) 2 oz. black olives 3 oz. low-fat Mozzarella cheese 1 egg white
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Clean mushrooms and scoop out the insides and stem with a spoon. Place on baking pan and bake for 7 minutes. While mushrooms are baking, grate Mozzarella, and combine in a bowl with one egg white. (Usually lowfat cheese has trouble melting, so this technique helps the cheese melt while adding a bit of protein.) Remove mushrooms from oven, and turn the broiler to High. On the mushrooms layer pizza sauce, cheese mixture, olives, and pepperoni slices. Return pan to oven and broil on High for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted and started to brown.

4. Produttori del Barbaresco Nebbiolo delle Langhe 2002 (Piedmont) $16 This Barbaresco wine from the Nebbiolo grape, boasts amazing clarity and tongue-tying tannins. Game, specifically venison, will mellow this wine a bit, but give it a go for its endearing intensity and all over peppered flavor.
5. Antinori Peppoli Chianti Classico 2001 (Chianti) $ 15
This Chianti (named for the Italian region, not the grape - the grape is predominantly Sangiovese)is a delightful accompaniment to traditional Italian fare. Rich flavors, good, solid structure with well placed tannins.

9. Marenco Scrapona Moscato D’ Asti (Piedmont) 2003 $13
You should be able to find this wine for around $13 at a local wine shop, and it is well worth the hunt. This is a very aromatic white wine with super zesty flavors of both tangerine and grapefruit, mixed with melon and surrounded by honeyed overtones. A very easy going sweeter wine with the flexibility to pair with appetizers, follow a cappuccino and chocolate covered biscotti or shimmy up to a summer pie.
10. Famiglia Anselma Barolo 2000 (Piedmont) $40
OK, so $40 a bottle is typically not categorized as “best bargain� wine; but for a Barolo, $40 is a steal and this wine is worth every last dime. A strong, full-bodied red wine that with tantalizing berry flavors and a nose full of roses. Recommend serving with a zesty pot roast or noticeable cheeses.
