Napa Winery Chef: June 2010
http://napawinerychef.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 26, 2010. Grilled Free Range Chicken Breast Spring Garden Root Vegetables, Salsa Verde. I love the flavor imparted by a real wood-fired grill. At the winery we use old grape vines in our grill, however any aromatic wood works well. Inspired by our garden in springtime, sweet young carrots and onion are balanced with the spice of radishes and the rich flavor of grilled chicken. 189; cup salt. 188; cup sugar. 2 cups hot water. 6 cups cold water. 188; tsp peppercorns. 188; tsp fennel seed.

Tuesday, October 12, 2010. Here is an Italian twist to the classic French onion soup.
