Publisher's Note

i rst, we planted a seed. Calls were made and people responded. Conversations took place and ideas became realities. Books were read and emails sent. Numbers calculated and calculated again. Hair was pulled and hands were shook. The coffee brewed and the phone rang. Then all the people smiled. In telling any good story, it’s usually the beginning and the end that are of the most importance. The same is true with the story of Well FED Magazine. I could tell you the part about how we put an ad on Craigslist, hoping to get just one response. Or maybe the time I walked through Tybee, mid-summer, trapped in a black suit and shiny shoes; would that be more interesting? No, no, definitely the late nights crossing quiet streets. Sitting on porches, sharing red wine and ideas, that was one of my favorite parts. Actually, it’s all valid, it’s all significant, but to whom? To everyone here at Well FED, we all have our own favorite stories, our own parts that we played. Had we not played our individual roles, there may very well have been no story at all. But as I mentioned earlier, remember that it’s really the start and finish that matter most - not just to those of us who took part, but to the community as a whole. We planted a seed. People smiled. It is my hope that all our readers and supporters will allow Well FED to continue planting seeds in this community. Give us this opportunity and I promise…People will Smile.

Diggin in the Dirt with Kelly Lockamy

What a sweet reprieve from the stifling heat of summer we’ve enjoyed this past month. Seasonal changes are rejuvenating for plants as well as people. I can hear the collective sigh of relief in my garden. Some plants even get a second wind before the weather turns against them once again. The light and shadows are shifting, the days are becoming shorter and the evenings have cooled down to allow for open windows all night. The day-light-sensitive plants set their seed and perennials prepare for winter dormancy with more energy going into root formation. The annuals prepare for eternal rest, knowing the

seed they leave behind will produce the next generation. The ground temperature is now cool enough to germinate the seeds of cool-weather crops like lettuce, spinach, beets, carrots, collards, kale, leeks…and flowers like calendula, violas, pansies, nasturtium and poppies can be planted from seed or seedlings readily found in nurseries. Sixty-five to seventy degrees are ideal soil temperatures for germination, so you can continue to plant most greens into mid to late November in sunny locations. I cleared the old tired tomatoes, okra, cucumbers and pole beans out of the garden mid September, then amended with: compost, organic manure-based fertilizer(N), bone meal(P) and greensand (K); sources for Nitrogen(N), Phosphorus(P) and Potassium (K), respectively. The first week of October, I seeded lettuce, arugula, spinach, beets and swiss chard. Soon I will add seedlings of collards, cabbage and broccoli obtained from the local feed & seed store. The basil will soon give way to dill, cilantro and parsley. Onion and garlic bulbs will replace the last of the okra, bush beans, zinnias and squash. If you have any potatoes planted, they can survive relatively harsh weather with enough straw or hay mulch to protect them from frost. Mound them up with this light mulch overnight, and Upcoming community education outreach events:

then pull it aside to let the leafy tops peak through and get the sunlight once the freezing temperatures have passed. The gardening chores are so much easier this time of year, with reasonable temperatures in which to work, slowed growth of weeds, no bloodsucking bugs and few sap-sucking ones to worry about. If you do experience some cabbage loopers (caterpillars), simply dust with either diatomaceous earth or bT (Bacillus thuringiensis.) My favorite lettuce is the “cut and come again” seed mixes of red and green varieties sometimes spiced up with arugula or mustard. These varieties are harvested with scissors, leaving about two inches of plant behind to begin growing anew.You only need to harvest as much as you need for one meal at a time, ensuring the freshest lettuce mix known to human kind. Do you ever buy those packs of lettuce mix and have to throw a large portion of it out in a slimy stinky clump? Forget that until next June; no more of that waste when you grow your own! Even if you don’t have a garden in the ground, you can easily grow these lettuces in a planter if you have a sunny spot and keep the moisture level right: not too dry and never soggy. I do hope you will come to find that organic gardening is just the beginning of a sustainable way to coexist with the natural world.

If you don’t have a place to make a garden, there are community gardens in Savannah and Tybee that offer a great way to grow your own food, connect in new ways to your neighbors and learn from working together with gardeners who have a wide range of knowledge and skills. If there is not a community garden in your neighborhood, and you can gather together 8-10 neighbors who are interested in having one, call me to help you organize, find land and make it happen. To find a garden in your area go to www.SUGAcentral.org. If you need some inspiration, advice or plans on what to do to next for your home garden, you can contact your own personal Garden Muse for a private consultation. Just call on me and schedule an appointment for help on creating your own beautiful and sustainable garden.

LOCALspotlight “From Growing, to Cooking, to Eating...we try to get them involved in the whole process.” I n F e b r u a r y o f 2009 , Bob and Nancy Isaacson opened Best Academy on the corner of Duffy and Waters. Savannians for over 25 years, their aim was to create a daycare facility that would be “Diverse, Affordable, and Progressive”. The couple definitely hit their mark, acquiring a space adjacent to a church. “The church wasn’t using the building or playground…we started investing in the neighborhood and just thought it would be a great site for a daycare…we approached the church and they were very supportive.” “We started with just three.” said Bob. “Actually, we started with one”, Nancy chimed in, grinning. Now with 40 kids enrolled, the children have come to represent a large cross-section of society. A wide variety of races, religions, and cultures, the daycare really hits the mark on “Diverse”. “The hardest part has been trying to break even.” Intent on keeping the daycare affordable and having adequate staffing, the couple has become full time daycare workers themselves. Bob can often be seen in the jungle gym with kids attached to every limb and Nancy plays peace keeper, healer, sentinel, and mother hen, just to name a few. The place tackles “Progressive” as well; implementing a vegetarian menu and an organic garden. “Two of our daughters are vegetarians…and we just thought it would be something good to introduce the kids to.”

Within a couple months after opening, Bob and Nancy started serving vegetarian meals. “It was something we always wanted to do.” At first they started with a limited non-vegetarian menu. When they realized that the kids would eat it and it was working, the meals converted to completely vegetarian. Isaacson believes that as long as you give them things they enjoy eating; “They are so young that they don’t seem to really miss the meat.” Now in its third season, the daycare’s organic garden is green and thriving. “It’s nice to show them that food comes from some place other than a grocery store.” The kids have all learned how to be respectful of the plants. Walking between the rows, they don’t step on the plants and even help with the watering. “They love the garden”, says Bob, “If anything, they want to pick the vegetables a little too early!” A single component of an overall health program; the garden acts as another activity center for the children. Whether it be playing in the 12,000 sq. ft. playground or helping in the garden, the aim is to get them more active and ultimately more healthy. “We try to get them involved in the whole process…from growing, to cooking, to eating.” When asked what was next for the couple and Best Academy, Isaacson replied ecstatically, “A chicken coop!”

pet

Our Well FED mascot Willoughby, a young basset hound, has a tendency to sniff out and eat just about anything that has made its way down to his line of sight. Many pet owners have found themselves in similar situations where their pet has eaten something that might have fallen from the kitchen counter or been left out on the coffee table. The first thing to follow a quick “NO!” is: “Can they eat that?” So, after debating whether or not Willoughby could eat his favorite treat(a banana), we decided to compile an A to Z list of what your pet should NOT eat.

A to Z

Alcoholic Beverages: Any type of alcohol can be poisonous to your pet, cause intoxication, and can cause a coma or even death. Apricot/Peach/Cherry Pits: Can cause GI blockage/ obstruction, or possible respiratory problems such as breathing, coughing and sneezing. Avocado: All parts contain persin, which can lead to vomiting, diarrhea, mild tremors, and signs of depression. Chocolate: Can cause irregular heart rate, hyperactivity, restlessness, diarrhea, vomiting, panting, muscle tremors, abdominal pain, bloody urine, increased body temperature, seizures, coma and even death. Caffeine/Coffee: Affects the central nervous system and can result in increased breathing and heart rate, hyperactivity, and restlessness. Dairy: It has been reported that as many as 50% of dogs are lactose intolerant, leading to severe diarrhea. Grapes/Raisins: Can be poisonous and can cause vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and kidney damage.You may also notice your pet become lethargic and have a loss of appetite. Hops: May cause elevated temperature and increased heart rate, leading to increased panting, seizures and even death. Macadamia Nuts: Can lead to elevated temperature, vomiting, lethargy, abdominal pain, stiff joints, and tremors. Moldy Foods: Varied effects depending on the food; may include vomiting and diarrhea. Marijuana: The active ingredient, THC, depresses the nervous system, and may cause vomiting and changes in the heart rate. Mushrooms: There are many different types of mushrooms that may have varied effects also determined by the amount ingested. Effects may include: diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, liver failure, kidney failure, heart damage, excessive tearing, drooling, and urination, hyperactivity and in some cases, hallucinations, seizures, or even death. Onions and Onion Powder: Can cause vomiting and diarrhea. Potato which are green or have sprouts, including leaves and stems: Contain solanine glycosides, which interfere with the digestive, urinary, and central nervous systems. Can lead to: vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, depression, trembling, paralysis, and even cardiac arrest. Rhubarb Leaves: Can cause problems with the digestive and central nervous system. Salt: Ingestion in large quantities can cause an electrolyte imbalance. Tomato leaves and stems: While the tomato itself is not known to be toxic to pets. The green parts (leaves and stems) can cause problems with the digestive and nervous systems. Tobacco: Contains nicotine, which affects the digestive and nervous systems. Can result in rapid heartbeat, coma, and even death. Walnuts: Can cause vomiting and diarrhea, trouble breathing, sneezing, and coughing. Yeast Dough: Can expand inside your pet after ingestion and result in gas, pain and possible rupture of the stomach or intestines. Xylitol: An artificial sweetener commonly found in candy and chewing gum. Can cause liver damage and even death. This list is for informative purposes only and should not be considered as medical advice. Always consult a veterinarian about your own personal petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health and what is safe. If you suspect your pet is poisoned, even if they have not shown any symptoms, contact the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) Poison Control Center, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, at: 1-888-426-4435.

The Foodn o i t u l o v e R by Rene Teran

In March of 2009, Michelle Obama planted an organic vegetable garden on the South Lawn of the White House and the New York Times rsponded with the headline,

“Is a Food Revolution Now in Season?”

For over a year now, the nation has continued to respond to this question with a firm “Yes”. The revolution will be televised; now in every major city and spanning the globe. It’s already being capitalized on by large corporations. Clear marks are all over the consumer landscape with labels touting the words natural and whole. Then of course there is the ever present cousin, the Green label, which has attached itself to many a name and product. Emerging from the fringes, this once niche market has become synonymous with the hipster youth and dandified urbanites of generation “I’m in the know”. Western civilization is becoming increasingly aware of the direct and long term implications their food choices have. These implications, affect not only their health, but also the environment, global and local economies, and even cultures on the opposite sides of the globe.

interchange supporters and resources, able to coexist without taking away from one another’s momentum. It is this trait that has lent to their sustained growth- a lesson that other movements could very well learn from. So to bring our readers up to speed, here we offer general breakdown of each movement:

The Organic Food Movement The demand for organic food has steadily grown over the past years. Increased consumer awareness of food safety issues and environmental concerns has contributed to this growth. Organic food sections can now be seen in most major grocery stores, including WalMart, and specialty stores are popping up each year. The benefits of organic food include: higher nutrient levels, less exposure to pesticide residues, and lower intake of toxins and chemicals from preservatives, additives and hormones.

This “Revolution”, is actually a diverse combination of several movements, initiatives, and practices, some of which have been in place since civilization itself.The reasons fueling these changes in the way we eat and how it gets to our plate is equally as diverse and intricately even more complex. At its core, the revolution can be broken down into at least three major movements, with no single movement taking precedence over the other. Quite often, they all

Today, there are more than 4 million acres of organic farms in the United States. Organic farming is a holistic agricultural approach to growing foods and fibers sustainably. Organic farmers work in harmony with nature to build healthy, fertile soil and a naturally balanced eco-system. All kinds of agricultural products are now produced organically including vegetables, fruits, grains, meat, dairy, eggs, cotton and flowers.

Farmer’s Markets Fresh and locally produced food products are sold directly to consumers, facilitating a more intimate relationship to the producer and less resources being used to facilitate distribution. Depending on the geographical climate, some markets are restricted to foods in season; others supplement stock with imported goods and are open year-round.

Food Cooperatives Taking various forms, from buying clubs to retail or internet store fronts; being a member of a co-op gives consumers the benefit of purchasing healthy food from local food systems often at cheaper prices by buying in bulk and sharing the savings. Co-ops are generally owned and controlled by its members, which include both farmers and consumers.

If all of us made one meal per week, a local one, U.S. oil consumption would fall by 1.1 million barrels each week.

The Local Food Movement If all of us made one meal per week a local one, U.S. oil consumption would fall by 1.1 million barrels each week. This is due to the fact that the average food item in this country travels 1,500 miles before reaching your table. The Local Food Movement is not one centrally organized entity, but rather a broad range of initiatives that seek to solve a wide range of problems in areas ranging from physical health, local economy, bio-diversity, sustainability, and the environment. The local food movement includes:

Community Gardens Community gardens bring people with common interests together while offering the benefits of nutritious food and beautiful landscapes. According to the Georgia Department of Agriculture, $600 in fresh food can be harvested from a single 10 foot by 20 foot plot each year. Community gardens aren’t only about fresh food; they serve as fertile ground for social interaction, exercise, and economic development.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Farms The term “CSA” traditionally describes a single-farm relationship where a farm delivers just-picked produce to a designated location where customers go to pick up their share. By subscribing in advance of the growing season, customers provide their farmer with income to buy growing supplies when they’re most needed. CSA programs offer Georgia’s family farms economic stability, and help consumers develop a deeper relationship with the source of their food and the farmer who grows it.

Farm to School To improve child nutrition and establish the healthy eating habits kids will rely on throughout their entire life, schools are integrating farm to school programming into their curriculum and cafeterias. Lesson plans, based on school gardens, get kids involved and active. Farm to school programs also connect Georgia’s organic and sustainable farms with school lunch programs, integrating healthy and fresh food into school cafeterias. -continued on next page.

“Eating is an agricultural act.”

-Wendell Berry

The Slow Food Movement The Slow Food movement began to take shape in 1986 to “counter the rise of fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from, how it tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of the world.” A combination of various movements and ideas; the Slow Food philosophy believes that “everyone has a fundamental right to pleasure and consequently the responsibility to protect the heritage of food, tradition and culture that make this pleasure possible.” Today, Slow Food has become much more than a movement and grown into an international 85,000 member supported organization that has over 1,000 chapters worldwide. Slow Food members consider themselves less consumers, but rather co-producers; a term they coined to describe “an eater who is informed about where and how their food is produced and actively supports local producers, therefore becoming part of the production process.” In 2008, Slow Food founder Carlo Petrini was named one of the “50 people who could save the planet” by the British newspaper,The Guardian. He continues to work towards the “vision of a world in which all people can access and enjoy food that is good for them, good for those who grow it and good for the planet.”

oday, the procurement and preparation of food requires the smallest percentage of our income and time - less than any other peoples in history. In an America where we have been so fortunate, it is easy for us to become passive consumers and ask how or why any of this should matter.Wendell Berry answered the question over twenty years ago in his book “What are People For?” stating, “Eating is an agricultural act. Eating ends the annual drama of the food economy that begins with planting and birth. Most eaters, however, are no longer aware that this is true.” Possibly, this revolution is actually more a “re-evolution”. It is not so much a struggle for change of power or organization, as it is a struggle to change individual perceptions. Our society must undergo a paradigm shift if it is to reform this beast we created that is our current food production and consumption model. Progress will only come once more of society becomes aware of the intrinsic role they play in a much larger spectrum. If you would like to take a more active role in our society’s future and become more involved with any of the initiatives outlined above, feel free to explore some of the resources below.

I have carried recipes home from near and far like treasured road maps: soda bread from Ireland, a fish and potato soufflé from Portugal, Cajun barbecued shrimp from Plaquemine Parrish, an apricot torte from Austria, and pecan pie from my Auntie’s farmhouse. Every month I will be visiting a unique restaurant and be introduced to new cultures and cuisines. I’ll venture into their kitchens and learn how to prepare traditional dishes from some of the best chefs in town. Then, with newfound recipe and training, I must try and recreate the dish, by myself, at home, and try not to burn the kitchen down! This month we visited the kitchen of Vincenzo’s Pizzeria & Catering—Savannah’s best kept secret for New York style pizza. This rustic kitchen is headed up by chef James Johnson and his wife, Rene. Then there is also “Ole Betsy,” a big, black hulking affair of an oven, passed down to them from Rene’s father. James is garrulous and funny, and he’s not shy about sharing the art of cooking. Known to invite children in to make their very own pizzas, the couple shares generous amounts of laughter alongside even more generous portions. The recipe that they chose to teach me was their famous Stromboli, which is like a rolled-up pizza with all the toppings inside.The wonderful thing about this dish is that you can add all your own favorite ingredients. There are no rules when it comes to stuffing a Stromboli, so be brave! If an ingredient sounds like it would be good in your recipe, it probably will be. I arrived at the restaurant just before opening. The space is down home and friendly with the kitchen spotlessly clean and noticeably hot (thanks to Ole Betsy). Rene first taught me how to make pizza dough from scratch using the “cold proof” method which eliminates

the need to wait for the dough to rise. You mix the dough beforehand and store it in the refrigerator for 24 hours. Later, James shared the rest of the recipe and technique involved. He also gave me quite a show, tossing discs of dough through the air. I hate to admit, but later at home, I tried tossing the dough in a similar fashion and it got away from me, ending up on my kitchen floor. Luckily, I had more dough in reserve! So, keeping that in mind, the dough recipe should make about four Stromboli or pizza.This will allow you to either make several at once, or maybe sacrifice a few batches trying out your own dough-tossing skills. When trying a new recipe or cuisine, I encourage you experiment, be brave, and above all, enjoy yourself! I look forward to next month, and hope you do as well, when we will venture even further out into the culinary world.

The Recipe Oven temp = 450°F Baking time = 25 minutes Filling: [Yield: 1x Stromboli]

Stromboli/Pizza Dough: [Yield: 4x 14” Stromboli] 2 cups: 2 tsp : 1 tbsp: 1 tbsp: 2 tsp : 2.5 tsp:

Cold water Salt Olive oil Sugar Garlic powder Active dry yeast

1 cup: Shredded mozzarella ¾ cup: Chopped Italian sausage ½ cup: Andouille, Cajun Sausage 1 cup: Whole baby spinach (uncooked) ½ cup: Thinly sliced sweet onion ½ cup: Sliced fresh mushrooms ¼ cup: Crumbled feta cheese ¼ cup: Chopped black olives

Mix/whisk all dough ingredients together thoroughly and pour into electric mixer bowl. On slow speed, using a bread hook attachment, slowly blend in 4 1/2 cups of bread flour Mix at a slow speed for about 5 minutes or until the dough starts to snake up the hook. The dough should appear smooth and not too wet. Place dough onto a well-floured surface. Cut the dough into four equal parts. Knead the first portion underhanded until the top is smooth. Turn the dough over and pinch the bottom closed. This is to remove air bubbles. Repeat with remaining portions. Wrap tightly in clear plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 to 48 hours. After the dough has proofed in the fridge overnight, unwrap the ball of dough and cover it generously with flour. You will want to dust your work area with flour as well, to keep the dough from sticking. With both hands, press down on the dough to get all the air bubbles out while stretching it constantly into a circle, as if you were making a pizza. Continue to work the dough until you have a circle about 14–16 inches in diameter and it has the thickness of a thin-crust pizza or a pie shell. If a hole appears in your stretched dough, don’t worry; just pinch it shut with your fingers. 20

Well FED

We’re now ready to fill the Stromboli with meats, vegetables, and cheese. Feel free to experiment with your own combinations. Remember, there are no rules! About one fourth of the way in from the nearest edge of the dough, generously sprinkle the cheese about one third of an inch high and one inch wide. On top of the cheese, layer all the other ingredients. Now take the edge of the dough closest to you and wrap it over the ingredients. With both hands, fold the dough over to about 3 inches from the far edge. Take the far edge of the dough and pull it over to seal the Stromboli. Fold the ends under and gently pinch the dough to seal it. Place the Stromboli on a pizza stone, or cookie sheet. Score the top of the dough with a very sharp knife, deep enough to see the ingredients inside. This will allow steam to escape and cheese to ooze out the cracks. Baking time is approximately 25 minutes. Check it at 10 minutes so that it can be rotated if the dough is browning more on one side. Once the dough is a golden brown and the cheeses are oozing out, your Stromboli is ready to eat. Serve a warm marinara sauce on the side for dunking.

What exactly is a ‘whole food’

We hear a lot about the importance of eating whole foods. There’s even a supermarket chain so dedicated to the concept that it bears “whole foods” in its name. But exactly what qualifies as a whole food, and why are whole foods special?

wheat left after the hull has been removed. It’s missing some fiber and is not technically a whole food, but it’s still a concentrated source of folate, vitamin E, zinc and other nutrients. Here are some examples of whole – or nearly whole – foods and others that are not:

The idea is simple: Whole foods are foods and ingredients that are as close to their natural state as possible. They are minimally processed and unrefined, and they typically contain no added sugar, salt, fat or synthetic preservatives, flavorings or colorings. For example, a boiled potato is a whole food, a potato chip is not. A fresh tomato is a whole food, a glass of V-8 juice is not. Of course, there’s no legal definition for “whole food,” just as there’s no legal definition for “natural.” But within the natural foods industry, this view of a whole food is generally accepted and valued.

* Whole: cooked oatmeal, wheat berries, brown rice. Breads and pasta made with 100 percent whole wheat flour are good enough; those made from refined, white wheat flour are not. Shredded wheat is whole; cornflakes are not.

There are good reasons for all of us to value whole foods. Whole foods have the nutritional advantage over processed foods of containing the most complete array of nutrients our bodies need. They not only contain vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber, but they are also likely to contain other health-supporting substances – phytochemicals – that don’t come packaged in a tablet or added back to processed, packaged foods. Nutrition scientists think these nutrients may work in synergy with each other when they’re eaten in the amounts and combinations they’re found in naturally in whole foods. So how whole does a food have to be to have the most benefit? That depends. Generally, the less processed, the better, though some slightly processed foods can be highly nutritious, too. Wheat germ is a good example. Wheat germ is the inner portion of a kernel of

* Fresh broccoli, apples, cauliflower and snap peas are whole foods. Fruit leather, fruit drink and pickle relish are not. Fresh, frozen counts; canned doesn’t. That’s not to say that canned peas and carrots don’t have nutritional merit. They do, but not as much as vegetables that haven’t been cooked and soaked in salt water. Fruit juice isn’t a whole food, but freshly squeezed juice has more nutritional value than juice that has been bottled and stored in the refrigerator for two weeks. * Whole almonds, sunflower seeds, and dried beans that have been soaked and cooked are whole foods. Slivered almonds, nut butters with no added salt, and canned garbanzo beans (rinsed to remove most of the salt) are close enough. The same general approach is true for combination foods. A piece of celery with freshly pressed peanut butter is a whole food snack; a toaster pastry is not.The idea is not to get overly concerned about whether or not a food fits the precise definition of whole.The aim is to build as large a proportion of your diet as possible from foods close to their natural state. It is simple guidance that helps ensure you’ll get what you need from the foods you eat.

Pan Seared Sweetbread of Veal, served in vol-au-vent with a traditional mirepoix garnish and Hollandaise Equipment: 1 mixing bowl 1 whisk 1 pastry brush 1 small baking sheet 1 small sauté pan 1 measuring cup with spout 2 ring molds* * You will need two ring molds, one large and one smaller, there should be a half-inch difference. Serves: 2 Ingredients: 8oz Veal Sweetbreads ** 2oz rendered bacon fat 3oz carrots (small dice) 3oz celery (small dice) 5oz onion (small dice) 2oz green peas 6oz heavy cream 4oz Demi-Glace 1each puff pastry sheets 2Tbsp Butter 1oz flat-leaf Italian parsley 3oz white wine Salt and pepper to taste ** To ensure proper texture and color, sweetbreads should soak in ice water for about 6-8 hours before they are poached. For poaching liquid, I stir in a little flour to help keep their white color. Poach for about 7-9 minutes depending on size. Remove membrane before pressing. Press for 2 hours. Hollandaise: The ratio for Hollandaise is 3 egg yolks to 4oz of butter. Method of Preparation: 1. Lay out puff pastry allowing it to thaw slightly, then using a ring mold cut out 4 full circles. Using the smaller ring mold cut out smaller circles to create two rings. Stack ring cut pastry on top of full cut out. Using a toothpick dock the sides in a 12-6, 3-9 pattern of the clock. These will be placed on an oiled baking sheet and placed into the oven for approximately 7-10 minutes. Applying an egg wash midway through baking will give vol-au-vent a classic look.

2. While vol-au vent is cooking, take small sauté pan and begin to heat bacon fat. Pat the sweetbread dry on both sides and season with salt and pepper. 3. When the pan has begun to lightly smoke, begin to sear sweetbread. 4. Once seared on both sides remove from pan and place in oven to finalize cooking temperature. 5. Start sautéing carrots, onions, and celery. Deglaze with 2oz of white wine and reduce. Add Heavy cream and demi-glace. Add green peas and whip butter into sauce. 6. Remove vol-au-vents from oven and press down the center creating a small cup. Spoon some of the garnish into the cup and reserve some for plating garnish. 7. Place seared sweetbread on top of vol-au-vent and spoon hollandaise over the top. Questions can be answered via email: david.landrigan@hotmail.com.

Savannah Smiles Dueling Piano Bar

H i st o r i c D i st rBiacrt G u i d e

by Jason Restivo

Take Tinta Negra Mole, Complexa and Bastardo and heat it to 140 degrees, thereby increasing the alcohol and sweetness, and what do you have? Madeira—a fortified wine named for the island from which it comes, just off the coast of Portugal. While waiting to be picked up and delivered half way around the world by traders and importers, the barrels were left out in the rain on the beaches of Madeira Island, and it was this exposure to the elements which raised the alcohol content of the wine. The Madeira was then loaded and carried on ships destined for the coastline of the New Americas, where a great appreciation for this juice from the vine began with the first colonies. Savannah was a vital, thriving port during colonial rule and appetite for this sophisticated wine originated with the city’s elite and tradesmen. High Society reveled 54

Well FED

in this new wine and became connoisseurs of the now famous “Rainwater” Madeira. Despite the fact that Savannahians initially complained, it wasn’t long before this Madeira was the only style the aristocrats of Savannah preferred. Prominent families such as the Gastons, Telfairs, Tattnalls and the famous Habershams, enjoyed this glorious beverage daily. Over time, the passion for the Portuguese wine waned as spirits and home brewed beer pushed its way to overtake the American palate. The drink rumored to have toasted the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Louisiana Purchase, and the composition of the Star Spangled Banner, was neglected and then pushed aside, only to be used as a cooking ingredient in sauces, making Madeira just a memory.

Only recently, America returned to this beverage of our forefathers, with Madeira now popping up in small wine publications and enthusiasts now collecting this historical label. Last year, the Rare Wine Company, led by Mannie Burke, honored the city of Savannah with its own celebrated label of Madeira, thereby paying tribute to the great success of relationships in early colonial trade and consumption throughout the city. Just this past April, Burke graced our city to bring the news— Madeira was back and with great purpose. Thus, we witness the rebirth of the Savannah Madeira. The Savannah Madeira, Verdelho to be exact, is a drier style—the opposite of its sisters to the north, which are a sweeter style of wine. The Verdelho flavor profile matches Savannah’s southern cuisine perfectly. Classic sweet cheeses and spiced local pecans brought together by the richness of local honey, is just the beginning of what pairs well with Savannah Madeira. The soft acids almost cry out for the tenderness of fried green tomatoes and the delicacy of local seafood, making for a wonderful, fulfilling pairing. Traditionally, it would have been paired with a cream brule or shared with friends around a campfire. Today’s sophisticated Madeira can vary from sweet to dry making it perfectly acceptable to be paired and served with multiple courses, not just desserts. Recently, I visited a popular spot downtown to treat myself to a dessert and listen to some great music. I found myself down in the belly of the oldest mansion, now restaurant, in the city—The Olde Pink House. I looked forward to warming myself with a brandy of some sort, but was delighted to find instead, this Madeira being embraced and adopted as a staple of hospitality. Surrounded by walls of faded handmade brick on my right and an exposed floor joist

carved by our great, great grand fathers above me; I conjured images of myself sipping in the same surroundings that Mr. Habersham and other early colonial celebrities must have enjoyed themselves.This was Savannah history I could taste and smell. I felt I was home, home with the Savannah Madeira. I invite you to join me in experiencing this historical wine in this historical place, the tavern of The Olde Pink House. If you would rather enjoy this uniquely southern wine at home, Jim Montgomery at Johnny Ganems on Habersham also has the Savannah Madeira stocked on his shelves in expectation and for your own personal enjoyment. Its rich history makes a great conversation piece when entertaining guests or also at the end of the day, at home, after the kids are in bed. It is all too often that the greatest enjoyment in the wine world disappears when the bottle becomes empty. I know this happens in my home, as rarely is any wine left in a bottle once open. In your own home, I do encourage you to try and cork your bottle early. You will notice that good wine becomes a whole new creature when you save some for the next day. This is particularly true about Savannah Madeira, as the shelf life of great wine is long, due to the fortification process. So until next month, “put a cork in it” and see what happens later.

…Indeed! Since the Stone Age, man has been intentionally fermenting or distilling fruits and grains into alcohol for myriad medical, ritual, nutritional, and recreational purposes (all of which suit your grateful author). It followed, naturally, that the mixing of these alcohols occurred and has, over time, become the more sophisticated adult beverage that consumes us today. Here is offered a brief compendium of its evolution and circumstance:

The Birth of Mixology It is generally credited that the practice of artfully mixing spirits with juices, herbs and other elements into a palatable beverage was invented and popularized on early American soil around 1800. Although the specific accounts of how and why are unclear, stories often involve some celebratory occasion and a prized rooster whose tail-feathers would end up the garnish of someone’s liquor drink…and thus the designated “cock-tail” was born.

The Golden Age

(Turn of the Century) In the beginning, it seems that the Cocktail enjoyed its own nebulous categorization amongst the Juleps, Shrubs, Slings, Daisies, Daiquiris and Punches of olde.The specific recipes usually featured some variation on the theme: a base liquor, water, sugar and bitters. Many drinks include a raw egg for body and sustenance, and the citrus additive was explored in detail. Then in 1887, the alleged first recipe book ever is published by the exalted Jerry Thomas, a bartender extraordinaire who is credited with singlehandedly kicking off the Golden Age of Mixology from under the eaves of the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco, California. Well FED

The Dark Ages (1920s, 1930s) After but a few scant decades of open enjoyment of its brandies and whiskeys, America’s hedonism is but temporarily and weakly thwarted by Prohibition in the 1920s. This hypocritical political failure only fuels new developments in the cocktail field as gin and moonshine become favored over Bourbon (with its lengthy aging process). Mixers become popular to mask the poor quality of the bootlegged booze. Rum cocktails flourish as shipments continue to sneak into the states from overseas.

Winning

the

War (1940s, 1950s) With

prohibition long gone and social drinking back in plain sight, the average American cocktail continues to evolve: WWII’s exposure to the tropics inspires rumand-exotic-fruit concoctions, Don the Beachcomber and Trader Vic’s popularize Tiki Lounge culture with the Mai-Tai. Soon behind the rather uptight facade of the 1950s, the three-martini lunch and Cocktail Hour are developed, perhaps to offset the period’s very rigidity.

Moving Forward

(1960s, 1970s) As a reaction to the conservatism of the 1950s and with the development of psychedelic mind-expanding experiments of the 1960s, our palates started to look for something new as well. Day-glo colored fruit syrups and cream-based blender drinks debut in a new environment known as a “Fern Bar.” Venues like TGIFriday’s parallel the rise of Feminism with a bar environment that caters to the new demographic.Apparently, society thinks women like a bar with plants and pastel colors to drink their Midori Sours in.

A Time of Excess (1980s, 1990s) The egocentric commercial atmosphere of the 1980s/90s was marked by the saturation of product onto the planet. (Did you know that 81 different flavors of Absolut vodka exist?) And now, 100 years after Jerry Thomas wrote the book, Tom Cruise showcases an entirely different talent behind the bar as 1988’s Cocktail moves “Flair” into the limelight. Slick drinks like Cosmos and Long Islands dominate the scene…“Shots!”

Today perhaps, one could say we are upon an Age of Postmodern Mixological Enlightenment: Not only are we reintroducing the recipes of our forefathers, we are revisiting them with a renewed sensibility and particularity befitting a five-star chef. This new paradigm of cocktail design calls for fresh ingredients as well as the never-before-thought-of component: cilantro, curry, soy sauce, marmalade, bacon (although not necessarily in the same drink!). One can find anything from roasted-pecan bitters to house-infused horseradish vodka if you explore the folds of the cocktail culture these days. Higher-end markets here in Savannah have finally started making the switch to fresher mixers and muddled produce.Venues like The Bohemian Hotel, Eco Seed Lounge, and Sugar Daddy’s are but a few who seek to offer a glimpse of life after DeKuyper and Bols. Of course, the public is growing to expect such quality now. I like to think that this reactionary swing away from the dumb drinks of last decade is indicative of our ever-expanding collective awareness—the same awareness that has come to appreciate organic produce and reject the irrationality of a ‘disposable’ consumerist mentality. But what’s next? It seems we’ve run the gamut of possibility, and that perhaps the new classic is here to stay. I, for one, am hopeful as it seems there is nothing more satisfying than a perfectly balanced, fresh cucumber-basil gimlet made with Hendricks’ rose-petal infused gin. (However I could probably do without chicken feathers!) Well FED

Raising

the bar with Wendy Willaby

Savannah native Wendy Willaby talks to WF about working as a bartender at one of Savannah’s most popular restaurants in the historic district, Alligator Soul. WF:

WF: So

let’s say your bar is packed and I’m trying to get a drink.What’s the best way to get your attention?

Please tell us a bit about yourself.

I am a Savannah native and apparently one of the few natives who’s chosen to work in the hospitality industry –AND- in The Historic District. Guests to the city are always amazed that I’m a native. Several times a week I hear, “You’re the first native Savannahian we’ve met”. That never ceases to amaze me.

There is no proven method. I’m a fairly adept multi-tasker since I work the bar solo, so I see who approaches first, and more importantly, who looks like they know what they want.

WF: What do you love about Savannah?

Never refer to me by ANY of the following: Sweetheart, Bar Maid, Beer Wench or Blondie.

Everything?? We live in a beautiful city. It’s romantic and charming and there’s always something unique to do if you know where to look. WF: What

would you change about Savannah?

If I had a magic wand, I’d wave it and create more late-night dining options for all the hungry industry folks. WF: Favorite

place for a night out, other than where you work.

WF:…And

one of the worst ways?

WF: Do you think there are any misconceptions about bartenders or the restaurant industry that you would like to clear up?

Only this- that working in the service industry is, in fact, a noble profession… assuming the bartender or server sees it as such. As Service Professionals, we have the unique opportunity to create something memorable and special for the people we serve. If we all went to work every day with that goal in mind, our own experiences would be much better and our pockets much fatter. My goal each day is to make my guest’s experience the best they’ve ever had in any restaurant, at any bar, in any city… ever. Hopefully they feel that it is.

I love, love, love Tuesday and Thursday nights Karaoke at The Rail. That’s where we consume mass quantities of Jameson and sing like we’re getting paid. Check out Wendy’s original drink recipe, Fleur de Soul, next page.

Hey Savannah! Whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your favorite bartender? Where do you go to get your drink on? What is the best restaurant in town?

Our vision is a paper production and consumption economy that repairs, rather than damages, our environment while creating sustainable jobs for the community. Our mission is to foster collaboration among paper manufacturers, merchants, publishers, nonprofits and consumers to achieve our vision and encourage the production of socially and environmentally responsible paper—Better Paper.

What makes Better Paper better? Better Paper refers to paper with a cleaner, greener, more efficient paper production process at every stage - including pulping, paper-making, printing, distribution and recycling. Why do our paper choices matter? Forests are one of our most treasured resources, but they are disappearing at the rate of 20 football fields per second because of pulp and paper production. Nearly 50% of all trees harvested in North America are turned into some type of paper product. Global production in the pulp, paper and publishing sector is expected to increase by 77% from 1995 to 2020, so we must act now to preserve our forests. Using post-consumer recycled paper reduces the need to log forests. Additionally, the paper industry consumes much more than just our forests. Producing paper from virgin fiber is both energy and water intensive, and releases significant amounts of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere. Using recycled paper is the most important step in reducing a magazine’s ecological footprint. Paper accounts for approximately 40% of the solid waste clogging up U.S. landfills, and while recycling has increased in years past, recovered printing and writing grades of paper remain extremely low. How is chlorine used in the production process? Is it necessary? In order to make paper “brighter,” wood fibers are often bleached with chlorine or chlorine compounds. When these bleaching agents are combined with organic matter such as wood fibers, one byproduct is dioxin, a known human carcinogen. According to the EPA’s Toxic Release Inventory report, paper production is a leading industrial source of dioxin. In the paper bleaching process, dioxin finds its way into the environment, contaminating water, soil, and our food supply. Dioxin bio-accumulates in the fat of fish, seabirds, and mammals, and it has been associated with cancers, lymphomas, diabetes, immune system disorders, and birth defects. Can Better Paper use coatings, or is that a no-no? As a visual medium, it goes without saying that a magazine’s look is an important selling point. For most magazine publishers achieving the desired look means using a coated paper. However, coatings introduce a specific set of environmental concerns, particularly as they complicate the recycling process. When magazines are discarded for recycling, the clay and final sealant coatings act as contaminants in the recycling process and must be fully separated from the paper. Complete separation is not always easy, and failing to remove coatings from the mix results in the production of low grade recycled paper. A final sealing coat adds an additional level of contaminants that must be removed during recycling. Sealants often contain polymers (plastic-type substances), which are even more difficult to separate from paper. This final coating is also potentially harmful to the environment, as its application can result in the release of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are suspected carcinogens and contributors to ozone depletion. Are there Better Inks we should consider using with our Better Paper? The scope of the publishing industry’s ecological footprint is not limited to paper use. Standard printing inks often contain harmful agents that contaminate the environment and compromise human health. While most inks are still petroleumbased, some ink manufacturers now substitute renewable and biodegradable resources (such as soy, linseed, and corn oils) for most or all of the petroleum.Vegetable oil replacement ink meets the same specifications as petroleum-based ink, and it does not release a significant volume of VOCs into the air when it dries. Agri-based inks are produced without toxins and biodegrade, effectively eliminating environmental, health and safety hazards. For more information on the environmental impacts of the printing industry and solutions on how to make it better, visit: http://betterpaper.ning.com/
