New Year’s Resolutions

Are you making any resolutions this year? This January 1st marks the beginning of a new year AND a new decade, so it can be a time to take stock, get inspired and make a plan. Here’s how to identify the right resolution to improve a specific part of your life, and make a plan on how to reach it. When considering any life changes, whether big or small, your goals should be always be smart — and S.M.A.R.T. This acronym was coined in the journal Management Review in 1981 for specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound. It may work for business, but it can also be helpful in setting your personal resolutions, too. Be Specific. Your resolution should be abso- lutely clear. Instead of a vague goal like “I want to cut down on social media time”, you could say “I will cut my social media time down to ½ an hour a day”. Be sure your goals are limited in their scope and unambiguous in their meaning. Make it Measurable. This one’s easy if your goal is a fitness or weight loss related, but it should apply to other goals as well. Find a way to measure your success; start filling up a jar with the cash you would otherwise spend on fast food, or start a journal logging your exercise. Measuring and documenting your

successes can help you track and and reinforce your progress, no matter what your resolution might be. Be sure it’s Achievable. Trying to take big steps too fast can leave you frustrated or overwhelm you to the point that your resolution takes over your life. Be realistic in your plans; if you’ve never been to the gym before, suddenly going 5 times a week is a big change to make very suddenly. Start small and then work your way up to those big goals. Create goals that are Relevant. Be sure to set goals because they really matter to you, not because someone else wants it or because society wants you to change. If you want to make changes out of desperation or because of a moment of passion, you might not be as motivated to follow through. Make your goals Time-bound. The timeline you set for reaching your goal should be realistic but firm, so give yourself enough time to get there. Try setting up some smaller intermediate goalposts along the way and focus on these small wins so you can make gradual progress over a set amount of time. Whatever your goals for the new year and new decade, be kind to yourself, be patient and stay positive. Happy New Year!

TASTINGNOTES

TASTINGNOTES

TASTINGNOTES

McManis Family Vineyards sustainably farms over 4,000 acres of premium wine grapes located throughout the Northern interior and Clarksburg Delta regions of California. McManis Family Vineyard is known for ultra premium grape growing featuring selected rootstocks and clones, leaf pulling, cluster thinning and drip irrigation. Light straw in color, this Viognier is a pleasing mixture of stone fruit and fruit cocktail aromas. It offers loads of peach and apricot flavours. Some great pairings for Viognier are roasted or grilled chicken, veal, or poultry.

Situated on the lower slopes of the Niagara Escarpment, Tawse is a family-owned organic and biodynamic winery. Founder Moray Tawse opened his state-of-the art winery, complete with a six-level, gravity–flow design, geo-thermal system and a wetland bio-filter. The inspiration for his Niagara property came from his love of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Sketches Chardonnay is a medium-bodied blend, crafted from hand-harvested fruit carefully sourced from select Niagara Peninsula vineyards. Each lot was individually fermented using indigenous yeasts and aged 12 months in French oak. The nose is expressive with vibrant notes of red apple, honeydew melon and a hint of white flower. Similar notes replay on the palate complemented by lively acidity and some baking spice notes from the oak. The wine pairs beautifully with seafood, poultry and richer vegetable based dishes.

Imported from the Veneto region of Italy, Bella Sera means “Beautiful Evening.” Crisp, dry and refreshing, this wine has flavours of fresh citrus and pear with inviting ripe apple. This is an excellent wine that can accompany a wide variety of foods, but it is a standout with shrimp or mild cheese-based dishes.

Whitehaven Sauvignon Blanc 20.49 09497Z, 750 mL Marlborough, New Zealand $

Campo Viejo Reserva 23.89 09502Z, 750 mL Rioja, Spain $

TASTINGNOTES Campo Viejo is a leading winery established in 1959 in the famous Rioja wine region in Spain. Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva DOC is a blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo. The wine displays complex aromas with a great balance between the fruit (cherries, black plums, ripe blackberries) and the wood (clove, pepper, vanilla and coconut). Aged in barrels for 18 months. Food pairing includes red meat, game, wild mushrooms and mature cheeses.

TASTINGNOTES

TASTINGNOTES

At the heart of a river junction at a special estate in California lies McManis Family Vineyards, where five generations of family farmers have perfected the art of growing fruit with outstanding depth of flavour. After 7-9 days of fermentation on the skins, the wine was pressed and finished fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine was then aged on new and used French and American oak for 4-6 months. Aromas and flavours of ripe blackberries, boysenberries and plums with chocolate notes, vanilla, toasty oak and velvety tannins. Serve with red meats, or barbeque.

Established in 1994, Whitehaven Wine Company is the realization of Sue and Greg White’s vision to create a renowned and award winning winery in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand. Whitehaven’s winemaking philosophy is centered on the pursuit of quality without compromise, with a singular vision of consistently creating premium wines from 100% Marlborough fruit. This wine shows superb ripe citrus peel, lots of grapefruit accents and excellent textures on the palate. Pair with oysters.

Wyndham Bin 555 Shiraz 17.39 07363Z, 750 mL Australia $

TASTINGNOTES

TASTINGNOTES

The palate of this elegant yet approachable red Burgundy is juicy with soft tannins and vibrant acidity. Pinot Noir pairs well with salmon or tuna and meaty white fish, lean red meats, duck, turkey and fresh herbs like rosemary and thyme.

Wyndham Estate was founded by George Wyndham, who planted Australia’s first commercial Shiraz vineyard in 1830 in Hunter Valley and is known as the father of Australian Shiraz. Bin 555 Shiraz is deep crimson red with vibrant purple hues. The Shiraz has spicy plum, black pepper, cloves and chocolate aromas with subtle vanillin oak. The wine has generous plum and dark cherry fruits with spicy notes. Shiraz has a savoury character that suits meats like venison. Big beefy stews or roast leg of lamb is a wonderful pairing also.

RECIPES

TACO NIGHT

Homemade Corn Tortillas From page 12 Makes about 12 x 6 inch tortillas 2 cups masa harina 1 ½ cups hot water, more if needed ½ tsp salt 1 Tbsp canola oil

Cilantro Lime Rice with Black Beans From page 11 Serves 8-10

1 ½ cups canned tomatoes 1 medium white onion 2 medium jalapenos, minced 4 minced garlic cloves

Directions: In a large bowl, mix salt and masa harina together. Pour 1 1/2 cups of hot water, the oil and salt into the dough and mix with a spoon or your hand to form a big ball. The dough should be firm and springy when touched, not dry or super sticky. If the mixture is too dry and it needs some more water, add it in small amounts until dough is the right consistency. Cover the bowl with plastic and let the dough rest for about an hour. Preheat a griddle or large frying pan on medi- um-high heat. Pinch off a golf-ball sized piece of masa dough and form it into a ball by rolling it in a circular motion in the palm of your hand. Put the masa ball in between two pieces of plastic wrap, parchment or wax paper and flatten it using the tortilla press or rolling pin. Gently remove the flattened masa from the plastic wrap and cook on the hot griddle for about 30 sec- onds to 1 minute, depending on how hot the surface of the griddle is. You want the tortilla to have beau- tiful brown marks. Flip the tortilla over and cook on the other side for 30 seconds. The tortilla may start to puff up in the middle; that’s okay! Remove the tortilla and place it between a cloth napkin to keep it warm, then repeat.

1 tsp ground cumin 1 tsp chili powder 2 cups long grain white rice 1⁄3 cup canola oil 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth 1 1⁄2 teaspoons salt 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed 1⁄2 cup fresh cilantro, minced

Blackened Halibut Tacos From page 10 Serves 8-10

For the blackening spice (makes extra) 1 1/2 Tbsp paprika

1 Tbsp garlic powder 1 Tbsp onion powder

Directions: Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 350F. Process tomato and onion in processor or blender until pureed and thoroughly smooth. Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water until water runs clear- about 2 minutes. Shake rice vigorously to remove excess water (this step removes the starch from the rice so it won’t be too sticky). Heat the oil in a heavy bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven with tight fitting lid over low-medium heat about 2 minutes. Add the rice and fry, stirring until rice is light golden and translucent, about 6-8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, spices and minced jalapenos and cook, stirring constantly until fragrant, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir in broth, pureed mixture, beans and salt. In- crease heat to medium high, and bring to a boil. Cover pan tightly and transfer pan to oven to bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 30-35 minutes. Serve potatoes immediately, drizzled with olive oil mixture and topped with a dollop of sour cream.

1 Tbsp ground dried thyme 1 tsp ground black pepper 1 tsp cayenne pepper 1 tsp dried basil 1 tsp dried oregano

For the fish: 2 lbs fresh halibut filets, cut into 1 inch cubes 2 Tbsp blackening spice mixture

Salt and pepper 1 Tbsp canola oil Corn tortillas Shredded green cabbage Spicy mayo Lime wedges

Directions: Combine the ingredients for the blackening spice in a small bowl, reserve 2 Tbsp and set aside the rest. Coat the fish evenly with the spice mixture and season with salt and pepper. Heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fish to the hot pan and cook until dark brown on all sides. Remove from pan and cover with foil to keep warm. To build the tacos, add some cabbage to each tortilla, then add the cooked fish, top with spicy mayo and serve with lime wedges. Enjoy right away.

6 beef short ribs, about 2 inches long, cut into individual ribs Salt and pepper 1/8 cup extra virgin olive oil 1 onion, diced 1 carrots, diced 1 celery ribs, diced 3 cloves garlic, minced 1 cups dry red wine 1 cups rich beef broth 1/2 can diced tomatoes, drained 2 bay leaves ¼ cup fresh chopped parsley In a large dutch oven, heat the oil over medium heat. Pat the short ribs dry with paper towel, then season generously with salt and pepper. Brown the beef ribs on all sides in the hot oil. Add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic to the hot pot and cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are browned and the onions are soft, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine, broth, tomatoes and bay leaves and bring to a simmer, making sure your scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Nestle the short ribs in the simmering mixture, then cover the pot with the lid slightly ajar. Transfer to the oven and cook for 3-4 hours, until the meat is very tender and falling off the bone. Once the beef is fully cooked and tender, stir the parsley into the braising liquid and serve right away with polenta or risotto. Directions: Preheat your oven to 325F.

Directions: Squeeze the orange pulp over a large bowl to extract all the juices. Whisk in the olive oil and season to taste with salt and pepper to make a vinaigrette. Add the orange, radish and fennel to the bowl and toss well to combine. Place a handful of arugula on 2 plates, then top with a generous amount of the fennel-orange mixture. Add some more freshly cracked pepper and another sprinkle of sea salt and enjoy right away.

Other fillings: Corn tortillas Minced white onion Chopped cilantro Chunks of pineapple Lime wedges

Directions: Preheat your oven to 275 F. Place the pork cubes in a large 9 x 13 casserole dish, then squeeze the oranges over the pork (keep the peels). Add orange peels, onion, garlic, and spices to the casserole and mix everything together with your hands, then press into an even layer. Cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil and place in the oven. Cook until pork is fork tender, about 3 1/2 hours. Using tongs, remove the orange peel, cinnamon stick and bay leaves from the pork. Transfer pork and liquid to strainer set into a large bowl and let it drain for about 10 minutes. To drain and discard the liquid. Transfer the cooked pork back to the casse- role. Shred the pork into large chunks with fingers or two forks. Cover loosely with foil to keep warm. To build the tacos, place about ¼ cup of pork in a corn tortilla, top with onion, cilantro, pineapple and then serve with a lime wedge.

Working quickly, dip 2 lady fingers in the coffee mixture for 3 seconds and then lay in the bottom of a 9 x 9 baking pan. Repeat with half the pack- age of biscuits until you have a single layer of lady fingers in the bottom of the pan. Spoon in half of the mascarpone mixture, then add another layer of soaked biscuits and the remaining mascarpone. Cover and chill for at least 1 hour, or overnight. Just before serving, cut into 9 even squares and dust generously with cocoa powder.

Another ⅛ cup of butter in cubes ½ cup grated hard cheese such as Parmigiano Reggiano Directions: Bring the broth to a simmer over low heat, cover and keep warm. Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, a generous pinch of salt and the garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, until the onion is soft and translucent, but not brown. Add the rice and saffron and stir everything well to coat the rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until the rice begins to turn a little bit translucent around the edge. Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly, until the liquid is fully absorbed. Begin adding in the warm stock ½ a cup at a time, always stirring well. Make sure the first ½ cup is absorbed before adding more liquid, and keep tasting the risotto to see how soft the rice is. You will probably have broth left over- it all depends on the type and brand of rice you use. The risotto will take about 20 minutes of stirring and adding the liquid a bit at a time before it’s done. Once the risotto is creamy and cooked through but still a little chewy, remove the pot from the heat, cover it and let it stand for another 5 minutes. Have another taste and add another few spoonfuls of broth and some more salt and pepper as needed. Stir in the cubes of butter and cheese and serve right away.

Directions: In a small saucepan, bring the cream and vanilla bean paste to a simmer over medium heat. In a large mixing bowl, pour the cream over the chocolate, stirring with a wooden spoon or silicone spatula until smooth. Stir in the butter and the Cognac. Cover with plastic wrap and refriger- ate until firm, about 2 hours. Put the cocoa powder in a shallow bowl. Remove the chocolate mixture from the refrigerator and, using your hands (wear gloves if you can!), scoop out the chocolate mixture 1 tsp at a time, roll into 1-inch balls and lay on a parchment lined baking sheet. Once all the truffles are formed, roll them a few at a time in a large bowl with a bit of cocoa powder to coat. Then place the truffles in a fine-mesh strainer and gently shake to remove excess cocoa powder. Repeat until all the truffles are dusted.
