W2E Weekend Recipe: Cooking with J.Lohr!
We love not only to drink the fabulous J.Lohr wine, but to cook with it too! Located on 900 acres in Central California's beautiful Monteray County, J.Lohr Vineyards is commited to producing sustainable wines of the finest quality. J. Lohr Vineyards & Wines was named 2010 American Winery of the Year by Wine Enthusiast Magazine!
Check out all of the amazing recipes here! One of our favorites, incorporating the J. Lohr Estates Series, is the Sweet Onion Crusted Snapper with J. Lohr Estates Los Osos Merlot Sauce.
Oh and be sure use the party calculator to see how many bottles you will need for a summer soirée...J.Lohr has you covered!
Taza + Steve's
Steve's Ice Cream and Somerville's very own Taza Chocolate are bringing ice cream to a whole new level of amazing. Steve's began in Somerville in 1973 and will be back this summer! The two have paired up to create flavors that will absolutely captivate your senses (think chocolate ice cream spiced with cayenne, cinnamon and Taza Guajillo Chili Chocolate).
Taza is the only producer in the US of 100% stone ground, organic chocolate and Steve's is completely commited to purchasing from local, sustainable dairy farms. Doesn't this sound like a match made in organic heaven?
We welcome this dynamic duo with open arms and eagerly wait for Steve's arrival to Boston!
Where To Eat... on Cinco de Mayo!
Today is the day we celebrate Mexican heritage and pride, and Boston has some of the best restaurants to do so. One of Where To Eat's favorites, MASA, is celebrating all month long at both their Woburn and South End locations. Tonight, a special three-course menu will be available for $24.99. Chef Philip Aviles has outdone himself with menu items such as Grilled Salmon with lemon caper salsa and Habenero Truffles for dessert!
But what about the margaritas you ask? Well, add a classic margarita or famous masarita to your meal for just $5.
Oh, and after you are full of delicious Mexican cuisine, get ready to salsa!
Plat du Jour: Bread of Bondir
At Bondir in Cambridge, the house made bread is not just an accessory, it is part of the experience . Diners can choose from Cascade Hops, 9-Grain, Caraway Currant, Spelt, Cranberry Walnut, Bronze Fennel-Sea Salt, Whole Wheat, and The Sea (with dried seaweed, squid ink, and dehydrated shrimp). In keeping with Chef Jason Bond's belief in local, sustainable ingredients, the flour used comes from an ecologically sound farm in Northfield Massachusetts and is made fresh daily. Is there a better way to start your meal? We think not.
If you can't make it in for dinner, call the restaurant 48hrs in advance to place your order and to find out what varieties are available!
