Jarad Gallagher, Chez TJ, Mountain View Monterey Bay halibut with vadouvan and early summer squash At Chez TJ in downtown Mountain View, the season drives the menu. The Michelin-starred kitchen only serves produce, meat and seafood that has been grown, raised or sourced within 100 miles of the restaurant. Executive Chef Jarad Gallagher is a frequent visitor to farmers markets, including Menlo Park and Los Altos (where last week he picked up some choice zucchini blossoms and squash). Servings: 4 Ingredients: Marinated halibut (see recipe below) Squash gratin (see recipe below) Kabocha squash puree (see recipe below) 2 fresh lemons 1 oz fresh basil leaves 4 fresh zucchini blossoms 2 oz California extra virgin olive oil
Squash gratin (best if made the day before): 2 lbs mixed summer baby squashes 2 oz butter 6 oz heavy cream 1 tsp black pepper 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp fennel pollen 4 oz fresh grated Parmesan cheese Instructions: 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Butter a baking dish that is 8 inches long and 3-4 inches wide. 2. Slice all the squashes 1/4inch thick, discarding any large seed pockets (they will make the gratin too runny). Layer the squashes in the dish. 3. Bring remaining ingredients, except for the cheese, to a boil using a saute pan. Pour the sauce pan contents oven the squash and place uncovered into the preheated oven for 12 minutes. Top with the cheese and return to the oven for 15 more minutes. 4. Remove from the oven and allow to rest at room temperature for one hour. Press plastic wrap over the top of the gratin and place a weight on top to compress it. Place in the refrigerator until completely chilled.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 2. Place both the gratin and the puree in oven safe dishes and

Bradley Ogden, Bradley’s Fine Diner, Menlo Park Asparagus and spring garlic souffle corn spoonbread Chef-owner Bradley Ogden of Bradley’s Fine Diner goes to the Menlo Park farmers market almost every weekend. This dish takes advantage of the market’s fresh asparagus and pairs it with spring garlic, also known as green garlic. Spring garlic resembles a small leek and has a milder flavor than mature garlic. Its short season typically ends in May.

Weekend Q MOVIEOPENINGS
Feel my math from East Indian obscurity to the University of Cambridge in 1913. Dev Patel plays Ramanujan with the same gaping earnestness and amusing eagerness that long ago became his stock in trade, and the actor thus deserves some credit for “Infinity’s” lack of imagination in conceiving Ramanujan as a character. In his hometown of Madras, India, Ramanujan woos and wins a bride, Janaki (Devika Bhise), then wriggles away from both her and his doubting Brahmin family when he earns admittance to Cambridge’s Trinity College and meets his mentor, G.H. Hardy (Jeremy Irons). Ramanujan’s raw talent for mathematical theory befuddles and frustrates the Cambridge dons, most of whom dismiss his work out of sheer racism or the more practical matter of Ramanujan’s habit of not showing his work in proofs.
It’s up to Hardy to drive forward Ramanujan’s work, assimilating him without blotting his genius and proving to the mathematical world that Ramanujan is one for the ages. In the process, Ramanujan, Hardy and the professor’s confidant, John Edensor Littlewood (Toby Jones), become friends and conspirators with common
interests and goals. But wouldn’t you know it? Their drive to “publish or perish” begins to look a lot more like “publish and perish” as the Great War borrows Littlewood, and Ramanujan, who is barely past 30, develops a telltale cough. “The Man Who Knew Infinity” sturdily synopsizes the key points of Ramanujan’s life while
focusing on a classic, unlikely friendship. Ramanujan’s faith proffers an obvious mystical contrast to Hardy’s avowed atheism. The spirit and—oh, let’s just say it—”beautiful mind” of the former wear down the stodgy defenses of the latter. It’s here that Brown invests all his drama. By reducing the two men to familiar archetypes, however, Brown must rely on Irons’ nuance and Patel’s lack thereof to fill in what’s not on the page and struggle to make what is on the page (lines like “There are no proofs that can determine the outcome of matters of the heart”) sound like human speech. The truths of this true story were undoubtedly more complicated. The meeting of these minds and souls and a deeper dive into the mathematics themselves, might have been considerably more interesting than the dully inspirational “The Man Who Knew Infinity.” It’s a pity Brown can neither literally nor figuratively “show the work.” Rated PG-13 for some thematic elements and smoking. One hour, 48 minutes. —Peter Canavese
enthusiastic reception from fans and critics alike — reaches a new zenith with “Captain America: Civil War,” which proves more satisfying than the heavily hyped “Avengers” films that preceded it. Here we have a superhero movie that gathers no fewer than 15 heroes and villains. They populate a sprawling story with marching orders to serve as a direct sequel to “Captain America: The Winter Soldier.” And it resolves the can of worms that film
opened concerning Cap’s sidekick-turned”Manchurian Candidate” super-soldier “Bucky” Barnes, played by Sebastian Stan. It’s also a franchise-launching introduction to the new Spider-Man (teenage Tom Holland). Seemingly, it’s everything a comic-book junkie would expect from a single Marvel movie, and more. For the price of a single ticket, you get a James Bondian film-opening action sequence, times four (heroes); a centerpiece six-on-
six clash of the super-heroic titans; and a twisty fight climax. Questions of collateral damage (as Avengers “routinely ignore sovereign borders”) plague our heroes, prompting U.S. Secretary of State Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (William Hurt) to announce that the U.N. has drafted a superhero-control act dubbed the Sokovia Accords. And there’s the sticking point of this “Civil War”: Steve “Captain America” Rogers (Chris Evans) doesn’t trust nations
to set agendas when the stakes remain so high, while Tony “Iron Man” Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) feels it’s time to earn back some trust. Heroes old and new line up with Team Cap or Team Iron Man. It’s just the discord the mysterious baddie Helmut Zemo (Daniel Bruhl) wants: “to see an empire fall.” And it’s just what a modern movie audience craves: prime actionadventure fare. Rated PG-13. Two hours, 27 minutes. — PC
A REMARKABLE TRUE STORY DRAGS FOR ‘INFINITY’ 00(Guild) The story is in the telling, so they say. Writer-director Matthew Brown sets out with the arresting true story of extraordinary mathematician Srinavasa Ramanujan but tells it in a milquetoast manner: “The Man Who Knew Infinity” can repeat its formula by rote, but develops no breakthrough theory of its own. Oddly, writer-director Brown hasn’t made a film since his obscure debut 15 years ago with “Ropewalk,” an ensemble romantic comedy set in Nantucket. And yet here he is, with Ramanujan’s story—based on Robert Kanigel’s bio “The Man Who Knew Infinity: A Life of the Genius Ramanujan”—a bona fide cast, and production values to rival the likes of this picture’s most obvious precursor, “The Theory of Everything.” The pinch-me situation doesn’t quite rise to that of Ramanujan himself, an autodidact whose persistence won him a passage
