  1. Eating strategically for health

    Restaurant Michael in Winnetka feels a bit like stepping back into the famed Le Francais dining room in Wheeling, except it's cozier, a touch more casual, with brighter lighting and upbeat jazz gently playing on the speakers. It all makes sense because chef Michael Lachowicz cut his culinary teeth at Le Francais and in Lyon, France, but he is also a dedicated Harley rider who started working in his grandfather's family restaurant in Chicago at a very young age. His love of French cooking, the kind that is hearty, full-bodied and artistically satisfying, saturates the menu with such items as confit cabbage, pommes Anna, salade Lyonnaise and pork galantine. Just back from some R and R and a successful marriage proposal in Florida, Lachowicz and I talked over a plate of pates in his newest addition to the restaurant, a charming side dining room, complete with a fireplace. This is an edited version of that conversation.

When something is good, you want more than one bite, no?

  7. Homemade holiday gift idea: Chocolate bouchons recipe

    <span class="holder" style="display: inline-block;">The perfect gift for the chocolate lover: <em>bouchons</em>. Thomas Keller's recipe for <em>bouchons </em>is built with a cup of cocoa powder and 6 ounces of chopped chocolate -- and twice that amount of melted butter. The <em>bouchons </em>turn out of their tins like oversize thimbles, with a texture that falls somewhere between dense cake and denser brownie, the structure of the crumb interrupted by tiny pockets of melted chocolate. </span>

  8. How to roast a chicken (and not the roaster)

    Ooooh, the holiday season does bring out the cranky in some people, doesn&rsquo;t it? When our S. Irene Virbila wrote a <a href="http://www.latimes.com/features/food/dailydish/la-dd-simon-hopkinsons-roast-chicken-my-goto-recipe-20121207,0,5805314.story">blog post</a> the other day about her new favorite roast chicken &ndash; from British chef Simon Hopkinson&rsquo;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Roast-Chicken-Other-Stories-Hopkinson/dp/1401308627/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1355164661&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=simon+hopkinson">&ldquo;Roast Chicken and Other Stories&rdquo;</a> &ndash; some of the online commentary got a little hot. The issue is one of timing &ndash; Hopkinson (and Virbila) call for roasting the chicken for 40 to 60 minutes with the oven first on high heat at 475 degrees, finishing at 375 degrees.
