Soup it up 03-16-2010

Mix and match 
for a carefree meal
03-16-2010

10 superfoods to eat in 2010 02-01-10

RECENT FEATURES
Comfort and joy
The New Oxford Dictionary calls soup "a liquid dish, typically made by boiling meat, fish or vegetables, etc., in stock or water. What lifts this prosaic entity to the ultimate is the deft touch and knowledge of the soup maker. A soup fan cannot go wrong at any of these comfort food mainstays, selected from among Milwaukee’s top soup joints.

Chef speak
Umami Moto’s Dominic Zumpano has cooked for the stars. While working at Elements at the Sanctuary Camelback Mountain Resort in Arizona, he was the personal chef to actor Will Smith during the filming of "I am Legend." Zumpano also created culinary masterpieces for Jennifer Garner and Jamie Foxx while the duo filmed "The Kingdom," and at retired hockey star Wayne Gretzky’s house in Arizona.

Foodie finds
The culinary minds behind the ‘Wisconsin Foodie’ TV show share their top local restaurant picks.

Chef speak
Brian Frakes has a full platter. He not only oversees the Milwaukee ChopHouse, the Miller Time Pub, the Café, Paradise Island and 730 guest rooms, but on any given day, there are conventions, weddings and meetings in the five ballrooms and 18 multipurpose rooms.

Chef speak
Before Jerry Garcia decided his calling was culinary, his love was sculpting and playing the sax. Now executive chef at Hotel Metro, Garcia’s food journey began in 1987 at the age of 15 as a line chef at the Marcus Big Boy in Waukesha. He eventually worked his way up to assistant manager.

Basket bites
Two local chefs share their favorite picnic recipes.

Uncorked
Wannabee oenophiles have a wide range of options in greater Milwaukee when it comes to informative wine classes and seminars, tastings and free or low-cost opportunities to drop in and sample. In addition, there is a steady stream of vintner visits to area restaurants hosting multiple-course wine and food pairings.

Mad skills
The quickest way to make a fail-safe dessert is to put that recipe book away and instead head over to your favorite market. At least that’s the way chef and restaurateur Sandy D’Amato does it.

Chef speak
Chef David Swanson wears many toques. His company, Braise on the Go Traveling Culinary School, offers what he explains as a "one-of-a-kind outdoor dining or learning experience." 

Chef Speak
Comerford is in her element at vegetarian restaurant Café Manna, 3815 N. Brookfield Road, Brookfield. She’s not only a vegetarian, but also eats vegan, macrobiotic and raw food. She grew up in a Polish family and loved eating kielbasa before her vegetarian epiphany, which occurred while in college after attending a conference by Jim Ehmkes, an advocate of healthy eating. 

10 must have wines
Is your wine refrigerator or rack looking a little sparse and you’re not sure what type of wines to stock it with? 

Get a grip
A corkscrew is like a golf club — it needs to have the right feel when you pick it up. That’s an important fact when purchasing one, according to Stephanie Metz, who owns Vino 100 in Grafton, along with her husband, David. "Pick one that you feel comfortable using," she says.

Chef Sandy D'Amato
Sandy D’Amato — the brainchild with his wife, Angie, behind Coquette Café, Harlequin Bakery and the critically acclaimed Sanford Restaurant — is well known as one of the top chefs in Milwaukee.
