Culinary curriculum High-powered, state-of-the-art kitchen offers training to aspiring local cooks, chefs BY NATALIE LARICCIA SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY

rom the outside, the Boardman structure appears to be an unassuming office building, but step inside the Culinary Arts Center, and it’s almost as if you’ve been transported onto the set of a Food Network television cooking program. A spacious seating area that can accommodate up to 50 spectators overlooks a professional kitchen that features a wide array of Wolf and Sub-Zero kitchen appliances and an 18-foot granite countertop island. Two flat screen televisions anchored to the ceiling provide the audience with an opportunity to view cooking demonstrations at alternate views. An authentic brick oven – imported from Italy – is situated in wall adjacent to the kitchen. Opened in February, the Culinary Arts Center at 492 McClurg Road, offers a variety of recreational cooking classes and private cooking events and is a haven for aspiring chefs or anyone who appreciates food and wants to learn or refine cooking skills. “It’s a great experience for people to share. Food has a way of bringing people together – it is a common denominator. People are excited about having a facility like this. I think people are looking for different things to do,” said Linda McNally, Culinary Arts Center director of program development and vice president of sales at Gia Brands. Owned and operated by the John Zidian Group Companies, McNally said she and other company staff have been brainstorming the idea of creating a local culinary school since she joined the company about eight years ago. Although the company maintains operations in Coitsville, the Boardman building also houses the offices for TRZ Marketing, the corporate office for Gia Brands and corporate and research and development offices for Summer Garden Food Manufacturing – companies that are all housed under the John ZIdian Group Companies umbrella. The CAC can also accommodate private events up to 80 people and houses a gift shop that sells a variety of cooking supplies and gift items. In the midst of its debut spring season, the center typically hosts two to three classes per week, and plans to host a similar fall class offering. The summer

The state-of-the-art facility, located on McClurg Road in Boardman, is owned and operated by the John Zidian Group Companies.

Opened in February, the Culinary Arts Center offers a variety of recreational cooking classes and private cooking events and is a haven for aspiring chefs or anyone who appreciates food and wants to learn or refine skills. schedule will likely feature a more limited class offering. Most classes begin around 6:30 p.m., and classes typically run about two-and-a-half to three-hours long. Most classes offer a hands-on format, and some feature demonstrations or a combination of both hands-on and demonstration. Classes appeal to all skill levels and highlight a variety of different cultures and cuisines. A sample of classes in the spring schedule include “Brick Oven Pizza, Foccacia and Calzone Making,” “The Fine Art of Lebanese Cooking,” and “Cooking with a Partner – A Tribute to Your Favorite Italian Restaurants.” “We’re exposing people to different ways

and types of cooking, and we have some of the best cooks in this Valley, but what we’d like to do expand everyone’s cooking repertoire. I think it’s not only about the food – it’s also about the experience,” McNally said. The center will also host the “BBQ Series,” a four-week Wednesday evening class from May 12 – June 2 that will cover barbecue cooking topics, including rubs, sauces and marinades; meats; smoking meats and grilling techniques. Most classes are taught by Executive Chef Mark Canzonetta, a Trumbull County native and honors graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, N.Y. “Here at the Culinary Arts Center, we

really a lot of fun,” Canzonetta said. Canzonetta also coordinates desserts for classes with the center’s Pastry Chef Amanda Chopp, an Austintown resident and 2009 graduate of the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute in Pittsburgh. “Life is sweeter here with desserts. I love coming here every day. I’m constantly learning new things. It’s a great concept,” Chopp said. Several classes also feature guest chefs, including Chefs Loretta and Stefanie Paganini of the Cleveland-area based Loretta Paganini School of Cooking. Future plans for the school include sushi nights and wine tastings. The center will also make a great venue for holiday parties and private events, like bridal showers and corporate events, McNally said.

Maternal obesity increases heart defects in newborns, new study says

he more obese a woman is when she becomes pregnant, the greater the likelihood that she will give birth to an infant with a congenital heart defect, according to a study conducted by researchers at the National Institutes of Health and the New York state Department of Health. The researchers found that, on average, obesity increases a woman’s chance of having a baby with a heart defect by around 15 percent. The risk increases with rising obesity. Moderately obese women are 11 percent more likely to have a child with a heart defect, and morbidly obese women are 33 percent more likely. “The current findings strongly suggest that by losing weight before they become pregnant, obese women may reduce the chances that their infants will be born with heart defects,” said Alan E. Guttmacher, M.D., acting director of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the NIH Institute that conducted the study. Congenital heart defects are the most common type of birth defect, affecting eight in every 1,000 newborns. These defects consist of a number of problems in the structure of the heart and range from minor to life threatening. Previous studies have shown that maternal obesity during pregnancy is associated with complications for mothers and infants. Obesity increases the risk for pregnancy-induced hypertension, preeclampsia (a serious form of hypertension during pregnancy), gestational diabetes, and cesarean delivery. Infants born to women who were obese during pregnancy are themselves at increased risk for overweight and type II diabetes later in life. Previous research by NICHD scientists and others has also shown an association between maternal obesity and birth defects, such as neural tube defects – serious malformations of the spinal column. In the United States, one in five women are obese at the beginning of pregnancy. The findings were published online in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The study’s first author was James L. Mills, M.D., M.S., at the NICHD’s Division of Epidemiology, Statistics and Prevention Research. Other authors of the study were James Troendle, Mary R. Conley and Tonia Carter, also of the

The more obese a woman is, the more likely she is to have had a child with a heart defect, the health study estimated. Division of Epidemiology, Statistics and Prevention Research, and Charlotte M. Druschel, of the New York State Congenital Malformations Registry. “The trend is unmistakable: the more obese a woman is, the more likely she is to have had a child with a heart defect,” Mills said. Overall, previous studies on maternal obesity and congenital heart defects were inconclusive, with some suggesting a link and others finding no association. To conduct the current study, the researchers analyzed data in the New York State Congenital Malformations Registry, a repository of case reports on children born with birth defects in New York state, excluding New York City. Using 1.53 million births that took place in the state over the course of 11 years, the researchers compared the records of mothers of 7,392 of children born with major heart defects to those of more than 56,000 mothers of infants born without birth defects. The researchers calculated the mothers’ body mass index (BMI), a measure of an individual’s proportion of body fat to her height. A normal BMI is 18.5 to 24.9; overweight is 25 to 29.9 and obese is 30 and above. The obese mothers were 15 percent more likely than mothers with normal BMI to have children with heart defects. Women classified as morbidly obese – with a BMI of 40 or higher – were 33 percent more likely than women with normal BMI to

have children with heart defects. The risk of heart defects increased sharply at a BMI of 30 and was progressively higher with each increase in BMI. On average, women who were overweight but not obese had no increased risk. However, the researchers saw the chances of having a child with a congenital heart defect increase for obese women, and increase sharply for morbidly obese women. The study examined records of infants after they had been born and for this reason it cannot conclusively prove that obese women who lose weight before they conceive will reduce their infants’ risks of heart defects. For conclusive proof, a study would need to enroll obese women who were not yet pregnant, follow those who succeed in losing weight before conceiving, and then determining the frequency of heart defects among the children subsequently born to them. However, until such a study can be conducted, the researchers believe it is reasonable to assume that attaining a healthy weight before conception will reduce the risk for heart defects. “If a woman is obese, it makes sense for her to try to lose weight before becoming pregnant,” Mills said. “Not only will weight loss improve her own health and that of her infant, it is likely to have the added benefit of reducing the infant’s risk for heart defects.” The NICHD sponsors research on development, before and after birth; maternal, child, and family health; reproductive biology and population issues; and medical rehabilitation.

Patient navigators aid cancer recovery

or years, the American Cancer Society has focused on programs and areas of work that will help the various needs of cancer patients. The Cancer Society’s free Patient Navigator program is part of that focus. After diagnosis, patients and caregivers are bombarded with concerns and questions. Some things may be answered easily, while others may need more attention and time. A patient navigator helps provide compassion and answers difficult questions and concerns. “Patients realize medical treatment is necessary in order to get better, but they also encounter a number of different scenarios or need answers to their questions that are specific to their Saundra Hall of diagnosis,” said Lisbon is the loRobin Godwin Sr., cal liaison who director of Quality of Life for the Ohio assists patients Division American and caregivers Cancer Society. in Mahoning, Patient naviga- Trumbull and tors are located Columbiana throughout cancer centers, hospitals counties.

Saundra Hall of Lisbon is the local liaison who assists patients and caregivers in Mahoning, Trumbull and Columbiana counties. Hall was recently promoted to senior patient navigator. Each cancer patient has a different list of questions and needs. However, Hall who talks and meets with over 60 new cancer patients and families each month, works one-on-one with patients. “Some are worried because they are not able to pay for medical bills or lack adequate prescription coverage,” Hall said. “I work with them and attempt to give them the resources that will help ease their concerns and may be able to provide some assistance.” “Most importantly, I am the emotional sounding board for them. Knowing that there is a caring, compassionate person at their fingertips is precious,” Hall said. Throughout Ohio, the American Cancer Society has 16 patient navigators who provide service to cancer patients and caregivers in 88 counties. Since every community is unique, each navigator is trained and aware of the services that are in place in their area so they are better able to provide as much help as possible to each patient. Regardless of where a person lives, patient navigators across Ohio do their best to provide the most up-to-date information and resources.

‘Big Tap-In’ craft beer fest draws over 1,000

pril provided many fine wine and beer events for area residents to enjoy. Without question, the inaugural “Big TapIn” Real Craft Beer Festival sponsored by Vintage Estate Wine and Beer and Y-103 Classic Rock radio was April’s biggest draw. The proceeds of this event went to Hands On Volunteer Network of the Valley. Fifty-plus craft brewers provided samples of their craft beers to over 1000 attendees, and more than 25 food vendors were on hand to feed them. The Hell or High Water WatermelonWheat beer from San Francisco’s 21st Amendment Brewery was simply refreshing. Pale straw in color with just a hint of watermelon flavor, this light-bodied brew should be a real hit this summer. I tried it with the biscotti from Tropea’s Fine Pastry. Jim Tropea had a fine selection of biscotti on hand to pair with the different beers. At the other end of the spectrum was Michigan’s Bell’s Brewery Java Stout. This dark coffee-flavored brew was outstanding with Uncle Jim’s Pepper Mustard. Uncle Jim’s is a local company producing a delicious condiment and sauce for outdoor barbecues. My final pick was the Samuel Smith Old Brewery Organic Strawberry Flavored Beer. Very refreshing with a hint

of strawberry on the finish, this crisptasting beer should also work well with upcoming outdoor dining. Vintage Estate and all the brewers and vendors should be complimented on a fine job, and I look forward to next year’s event. Boardman’s Springfield Grille was this month’s major restaurant wine tasting, and they did a great job with a selection of Frei Brothers Reserve wines from Sonoma, Calif. Chef Nick Mileto’s first course of Thai mango and lime ceviche (marinated raw seafood) was paired to Frei’s 2007 Russian River Sauvignon Blanc. The fresh citrus fruit flavors of this Sauvignon Blanc went very nicely with the tangy shrimp and scallop ceviche. Charred ricotta-stuffed tomatoes drizzled in a sweet basil Pinot Grigio vinaigrette was our next entrée. It was matched to Frei Brothers 2007 Russian River Chardonnay. Green apple and citrus fruit flavors followed by a soft toasty finish made this a great partner to the subtle cheese and tomato dish. Course no. 3 consisted of smoked duck and wild mushrooms. Frei’s Reserve Zinfandel from California’s Dry Creek Valley appellation was this course’s wine pairing.

for course no. 4. Textbook Alexander Valley Cab fruit flavors of blackberry and spice were an outstanding match for the richly flavored skirt steak. Chef Mileto’s skirt steak was one of the best that I’ve tasted since starting this column. A chocolate blood-orange ricotta and polenta tart was presented with Frei’s 2007 Russian River Pinot Noir for the final dessert course. Medium red in color with soft fruit flavors, it was just the right touch for the chocolatey ricotta dessert. Moving along to our monthly store tastings, I visited Wine Styles in Howland for a sampling of Treasure Hunter wines from California. In the past I’ve reviewed some of these negociante wines (where the makers craft their wine from brokered juice rather than growing their own grapes), and have found them to be extraordinary. My first pick was the Treasure Hunter 2008 Russian River Pinot Noir ($21.99). This is Russian River Pinot Noir at its best. Crisp

RESTAURANTS FOOD REVIEW

fruit flavors of wild strawberry followed by a long supple finish tinged with cola and spice made this a wine that everyone seemed to enjoy. I’ve sampled their 2007 Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon in the past, and found it to be outstanding. But I was really amazed at their St. Helena Cab Cuvee ($21.99). Rich ripe black cherry fruit flavors and a long textured finish make this Napa Cab taste as good as its more expensive brethren. I’ve sampled Napa Cabs at three to four times the price of this wine, and it rivals all of them. The staff of Wine Styles should be complimented for showcasing such a value-conscious wine brand. My next stop was Michael Charles Premier Wines on Elm Road in Warren. I’ve been informed that they are going to expand their beer cooler space and add to their already large selection of craft brews. I’ll be providing more information in future columns. My first wine pick was the Guenoc 2007 Chardonnay ($11.99 post-off sale) from selected California vineyards. Juicy citrus and peach fruit flavors with just a hint of oak make this a great summertime white for everyday drinking. The Castle Rock 2009 Pinot Noir ($13.99) from Mendocino County, Calif. was my next selection. Medium bodied with laser bright berry fruit flavors, this is another great red for upcoming summer cookouts.

Burger Review Board offers food for thought Editor’s note: The Metro Monthly introduces a new feature this month, courtesy of the Mahoning Valley Burger Review Board. The board is comprised of five local men who scour local restaurants and bars in search of the area’s best burger. We hope you enjoy this new feature. Group leader, Anthony Fuda, explains:

“Hello, my name is Anthony Fuda and I would like to introduce you to the Mahoning Valley Burger Review Board. We are a group of five guys whose love of hamburgers sent us out on our quest to find the best burger in the Mahoning Valley. We will follow any lead, look behind any door, and try as many burgers as it takes to find the one perfect burger. The MVBRB consists of co-founders Jerry Tranovich (J.T.) and Scott Long; head scout and communications liaison Tony Krusely; assistant scout “two meat” Mike Flarey; and myself, Anthony Fuda, scribe and media liaison. What makes us qualified to judge burgers? We all consider burgers our favorite food, and we all have different tastes. We cover all aspects of what group members like in a burger, and then we average our opinions and come up with a score. But it all comes down to the burger itself. Whatever toppings you put on – if the burger is bad, the meal is bad. One person may have lettuce, tomato and onions while another may have bacon and chili, but the burger has the final say in how it all tastes. We grade the burger on a 100 point system and have a corresponding star rating. (In 2009, O’Donold’s (Austintown) was chosen as ‘Burger of the Year.’ ) When we choose a burger place to judge, we like to hear recommendations from the readers on what they consider to be the better burgers in the area. We take requests at mvbrb@hotmail.com. We usually visit one burger place a month and then write a review, and we have our reviews posted at www.myspace.com/mvbrb, as well as other burger news and club information.

Martini Brothers serves excellent burgers, fries BY ANTHONY M. FUDA SPECIAL TO THE METRO MONTHLY

he Mahoning Valley Burger Review Board’s (MVBRB) message board has been lighting up with requests to check out Martini Brothers in Girard. From restaurant patrons to the owners themselves, we heard that they have a hamburger worthy of earning the coveted 2010 “Burger of the Year.” Dan Martini, one of three brothers who owns the Italian restaurant/sports bar, says, “I think we have a decent shot at the ‘Burger of the Year.’ We believe that we can offer a unique burger experience you can’t get at many places." Martini Brothers opened at the end of 2009 and is located in the Golf Dome on State Street in Girard. When you walk in, you can feel the sports theme around you, and the aroma of mouth-watering food is in the air. SEE BURGERS, PAGE 20

Martini Brothers backs up the talk with an excellent burger. Starting with a toasted Ciabatta bun, then adding the freshly made burger, and topping it off with fresh lettuce and tomato – the burger is full of flavor. Martini Brothers backs up the talk with an excellent burger. Starting with a toasted Ciabatta bun, then adding the freshly made burger, and topping it off with fresh lettuce and tomato – the burger is full of flavor. Complementing the burger – and filling out the plate – are crisp, golden fries. “Everything was great,” said Burger Review Board member Scott Long. “The bun was fresh and the meat had great flavor.” Everyone in the group had a different burger and choose from a page of specialty burgers. We had the “John Wayne” and the “Coney Island,” as well as a couple build-your-own varieties. And we all agreed the fresh bun, combined with the well-seasoned meat, helped take this burger to number one on our list. The bar-restaurant also offers a wide variety of Italian foods to go with the freshly made burgers. They also feature a challenge burger – the Fat Daddy challenge (4 1/2 pounds of food) – and if you can eat everything on the plate in 25 minutes it’s free. According to the proprietors, only one person has been successful so far. THE WINE GUY, FROM PAGE 15

example. Boardman’s Vintage Estate Wine and Beer was my next stop for their Third Saturday wine taste. If you haven’t visited the shop lately, make it a point. Owner Phill Reda has remodeled his store to make it more people-friendly. He has added a new sampling bar for his tastings, and it has really added to the roominess. Gone are the old wine displays, and in their place are wall-to-wall wine racks filled with many new selections. My first wine pick was the 2008 Sea Glass Sauvignon Blanc from Santa Barbara ($10.99). It features crisp tropical fruit flavors and a clean bright finish that was just the thing for the sliced cucumbers topped with chopped apple, pineapple and pecans. My next pick was the R&B Cellars 2007 Swingsville Zinfandel from Lodi, Calif. This value-priced Zin exhibits fresh berry fruit flavors and a spicy finish that really lasts. It was irresistible with the roast beef roll-ups. I find that the Vintage kitchen provides some of the nicest wine-friendly food at wine tastings around the Valley. The last destination of the month was Charlie’s Premier Wines of Howland for their biweekly Saturday tasting. Once again, this store produced a number of unique wines to try. A red that really stood out was the 2008 Triente Cannonau Pala DOC from Sardegna ($17.99). This Grenache-based wine was simple wonderful. Medium red in color with gobs of bright

If you are looking for a challenge, check out Martini Brothers and the Fat Daddy. And if you are looking for an excellent burger, stop by and order any one of their instant classics. ◆ Martini Brothers, 1300 N. State St., Girard; 330-545-8540. Rating: 4 1/2 stars.

If you’re looking for a great rose for this summer, try the Crios Rose of Malbec 2009 from Mendoza, Argentina. Lush bright berry fruit flavors and a crisp refreshing finish should please even the most discriminating wine drinker. The Mahoning Valley Wine and Food Lovers Club’s first tasting was held on April 28 at Station Square Restaurant, and I’ll cover this sold-out event in depth next month. The club’s next tasting is Wednesday, May 12 at Café Cimmento in downtown Youngstown. This restaurant has a reputation for delicious food, and my partner Brian Fry and I look forward to working with them on the tasting. If you’re interested in joining our club, please e-mail us at brianfrywineguy@juno.com, or if you see me at a tasting, talk to me about it. Upcoming tastings include Wine Styles, alternating Thursday and Friday tastings; Charlie’s Premier Wines, biweekly Saturday tastings, Vintage Estate, third Saturday tasting; Michael Charles Premier Wines, second Saturday tasting. Springfield Grille will hold a monthly wine dinner—contact the restaurant for more details. Wednesday, May 12, the Mahoning Valley Wine and Food Lovers Club will hold a tasting at Café Cimmento—call the restaurant for reservations. I look forward to seeing you at one of these upcoming events. If you have a wine event you would like listed in this column, please send your information to thewineguy@metromonthly.net.
