Lifestyle Letter

Food & Community

T

here is something so special about gathering together over a meal. With a ridiculous amount of restaurants and cafés per capita, breaking bread together in Boulder County is a ceremonious act.

Andy and I recently had the privilege of sharing a beautiful meal and evening with the Lifestyle Publications team at our home. As guests started to arrive, the kitchen became the de facto gathering place. Just before we were ready to serve dinner, I noticed that the living room was completely empty, with the exception of our black lab, laying sprawled in front of the wood-burning fireplace.

My inspiration and love of cooking started at a young age with my Mamma Jean. While she has since passed on, the fond memories linger like the finish of a great glass of wine.

Her cookie cutters and other utensils carry on in our pantries and drawers. One of her Christmas Eve traditions was serving prime rib to our family. To carry on this tradition, we recently cooked our first prime rib in our home. Contrary to popular belief, you can pick up a 17-pound hunk of red (grass fed) beef just down the road at Alfalfa’s.

Whether grabbing breakfast burritos at Blackbelly with a group of friends on the way to Eldora, or making cookies at home with your kids, there is something about food that connects us all.

Thank you for reading and may 2017 bring health and happiness to you and yours!

Kitchen,

Chef Hosea Rosenberg of Blackbelly Market.

Boulder Lifestyle | January 2017

M

any people walk into to a butcher shop or grocery store prepared to purchase only one or two cuts of meat. Often it is based on what

they grew up with, and what was used in family recipes. Little do they know, there are so many muscles that can be a substitute within the same cooking method, and are just as delicious and worth getting to know. I grew up in a house in which we would process and freeze a whole animal, like wild game – elk, deer. Or my mom would split a whole cow with a neighbor. But one whole animal would last us the entire year until the next hunting season. (Smaller game, like chickens and duck, were cooked and consumed immediately.) We categorized what we stored in the freezer by cooking process, not by cut. This is the most efficient method.

The process is very similar to our systems at Blackbelly. Our ranchers are our neighbors and friends. We butcher and sell an entire animal before we have another of the same kind come through the door. For example, Clint Bucker from Boulder Lamb, supplies us 100% grass fed, Boulder County, sustainably raised animals, in low quantities.

Honoring everything that goes into raising each animal by promoting less “popular” cuts of meat and the importance of consuming the whole animal, supports a sustainable food system for the rancher, butcher, and community.

Nate’s tip: Don’t assume anything when you approach the butcher counter. Always ask where a particular type of meat is raised and about the animals’ diet and living conditions.

NATE’S FEATURED CUT: LAMB SHANK

For a dramatic presentation, lamb shanks are sometimes cooked whole. You see this most frequently in restaurants, as it can be daunting to do in a home kitchen. The whole shank is large in size, and doesn’t easily fit into something like a crock pot. So, ask your butcher to cut it “osso bucco– style.” This is cross cut, with the bone left in, and normally measures about 2-3 inches thick. The cut makes the meat easier to sear, adding flavor and viscosity to the broth, since the bone marrow is exposed. It yields about 50% of the raw weight in meat, so it’s a great protein when the meat is not the only element of focus (such as in the case of a steak).

Braising is a favorite cooking method for this cut. This time of year we are craving foods that are comforting, and richer, intense flavors are more palatable. Simply brown meat in oil, and cook in a tightlycovered vessel in liquid broth (which can include wine, tomatoes, onions, different herbs and vegetables). Cook either on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, or in the oven. The key is to keep the temperature low and cook for many hours to render tenderness. Similar cuts in which you could apply the same technique are the neck and shoulder.

cultures of home. Noodles have become the staple food worldwide (from Rome to Bejing) for centuries. The oldest evidence of man enjoying a good ole noodle dish dates back to nearly 4,000 years ago!

Recently, noodles have been growing in popularity as carbohydrates are no longer the notorious demon of the diet world. Although keep in mind not all noodles are created equal. Noodles made with white flour are still bad but

Add the Thai red curry paste, ginger, sambal oelek, juice of 1 lime, Chinese five spice powder, black pepper and 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-6 hours.

2. About 40 minutes before you are ready to eat, roast the squash.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. 3. In a small bowl mix together the melted coconut oil, curry powder, miso, brown sugar and a good pinch of pepper. Add the cubed squash to a greased baking sheet and pour the curry mixture over the squash.

Toss well. Bake for 30-40 minutes, tossing a couple of times during cooking. You want the squash to be lightly browned and crisp.

Stir and allow the pork to continue to caramelize, about 3-5 minutes total. Remove the pork from the skillet, repeat with the remaining pork. Keep the pork warm.

6. Add the Ramen noodles to the crockpot and allow them to cook 5 minutes. Once the noodles are cooked, stir in only half of the pork.

Ladle the soup into bowls. Top with extra caramelized pork, curry roasted acorn squash and an egg. Season the egg with salt and pepper, Add the carrots, jalapeños, green onions and cilantro if desired.

COLD AVOCADO CUCUMBER SOBA Serves: 2

INGREDIENTS

Ingredients • 4-6 ounces soba noodles • 1-2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil • 2 medium cucumbers (or 1 large seedless cucumber) • 1 tablespoon tamari or soy sauce • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar • 1-2 tablespoons ponzu sauce (or extra tamari & rice vin with a squeeze of lime)

• Avocado slices • Sesame seeds Optional additions: • tofu or a protein of your choice • sriracha or chile flakes Instructions

INSTRUCTIONS

Rice Noodles

• ¼ cup chopped scallions

1. Boil the soba noodles in salty water until al dente. Blanch them for 30 seconds in a bowl of cold ice water, then drain. Return them to the (empty) bowl and gently toss with a splash of sesame oil so they won’t stick together while you finish everything else.

2. Thinly slice the cucumbers using a julienne peeler (you could also use a mandolin or veggie spiraler). Discard the first peel (it will be all skin) and carefully make your slices around the seeded part in the middle.

3. Toss the cucumber slices and scallions with the soba noodles. Add tamari, rice vinegar, and ponzu and toss again. Taste and adjust seasonings. Top with sliced avocado and sesame seeds.

Serve cold.

Cooked!

think it’s safe to say that cheese is a mystery to most people.

Where does it come from? How is it made? What are these ‘cul-

tures’ people speak of? Bread can be equally puzzling – how on earth do the heavy ingredients of flour, salt, yeast, and water come together to make something so light and airy? Food, if we examine it closely, think about its components, and decipher its roots, is the most magical, the most scientific, the most miraculous thing we come across every day of our lives. It is equally methodical and chaotic, deliberate and accidental. Food is, really, a phenomenon.

No one understands this better than Michael Pollan, the food activist and author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma who made thinking about what we eat cool. In his book and Netflix documentary series Cooked, he explores food preparation through the lens of natural elements like fire, earth, and air. Boulder has embraced this back-to-basics philosophy for a while now, attracting people devoted to traditional cooking and baking methods. Here, a closer look at the local wizards nourishing our community through fire, earth, and air elements.

AIR

In Cooked, Pollan explores air through

breadmaking; after all, air is mostly what you’re eating when you eat bread. In Boulder County, the man who best knows how to create exquisite breads out of thin air is Andy Clark of Louisville’s Moxie Bread Co. He was first fascinated by baking bread back in high school while working at a health foods store. A co-worker introduced some amazing breads to the café, and Clark gravitated to the man’s zen approach to baking.

“You’re essentially birthing this little baby with dough that needs to be nurtured and taken care of, and I was immediately fascinated by the art and science of it all,” Clark says. “I kind of never looked back, not for a minute. That was 25 years ago.”

At Moxie, Clark focuses on simple ingredients: flour, salt, yeast, and water. The results are some of the best breads in the state. So good, in fact, that we forget about the complex natural processes that go into making those delicious loaves.

“Really good bread is often quite airy, full of big holes,” Clark says. “What we’re doing as bakers, and especially in the prep process of using natural leavening to make bread, is we’re essentially creating a big balloon that’s going to capture all this air and gas being created from the process of fermentation.”

During fermentation, Clark continues, gas, carbon dioxide, various organic compounds, and aromas are actually inside the air bubbles within the bread. After the bread has baked and is cooling, steam escapes, settling into the crumb and crust of the bread, giving it an even richer flavor.

That final stage of ‘curing’ for the bread is often bypassed by too-eager customers anxious to cut into their hot, fresh loaf.

Don’t give into temptation, Clark warns.

Bread usually tastes best a couple days after baking, so for maximum flavor, steady your will power and wait it out. Air will never have tasted so good.

t was one of those nights: snowy and cold (the weather); tired and hungry (my

husband and I). The babysitter canceled, but we were still desperate to get out of the house and let someone else cook and do the dishes. With two young (read: rowdy) kids, there aren’t a whole lot of choices of where we can drop in for a good meal without having to worry about every rogue shriek or cry. I’d recently heard of a new restaurant in downtown Lafayette called Community, and if that name doesn’t scream “Bring your three and four year olds!” then I don’t know what does.

Judging by how full it was on a Tuesday night at 5:45 p.m., I’d say the community is responding pretty well to Community. We snagged one of the last available tables and breathed a sigh of relief that there were both small kids at the tables next to us, and a menu that didn’t read like a typical suburban chain.

The restaurant is modern and welcom-

ntertaining a large gathering of friends. Hosting dinner and drinks. Cooking for the family and enjoying a quiet night at home.

Working on the computer with a cup of coffee in hand. These are a few of the needs addressed and enhanced by the lower level and main floor kitchen remodels in this White Hawk Ranch home east of Boulder. The culmination of a long working relationship and ongoing project of renovating the home room by room, these kitchen remod-

els were a collaborative effort between the homeowners, Casey St. John Interiors, and William Ohs, exemplifying open and inviting yet intimate designs conducive to any occasion.

“PEOPLE REALLY LIVE IN THEIR KITCHENS,” SAYS PATTI DANZIG OF WILLIAM OHS. “THEY DON’T WANT SOMETHING TRENDY, SO WE WORK TO MAKE THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE BEAUTY OF THE SPACE AND HOW IT FUNCTIONS.”

Keenly attuned to the personalities and lifestyle of the homeowners, each of these remodels is designed to both enhance their day-today family lives and deliver on special occasions.

The lower level kitchen, inspired by the homeowners’ vast world travels, features warm wood finishes, the juxtaposition of leather and metal details, and antique pieces to give it an inviting feel. While the lower level floor plan was adjusted to accommodate easier access to the space, the main floor kitchen remodel involved an overhaul on an even larger scale.

terintuitive, osyters are best when they are shipped directly from the grow-

ers through overnight or second day delivery.

That's actually the ideal way to get super-fresh,

high-quality oysters, which makes these molluscs one of the tasiest ways to fill up on your

omega-3 needs. This is just one out of many fun facts we learned about while putting together

this oyster profiling with the Jax Fish House team. There are only five species of oysters but

tons of varieties (Rocky Mountain oysters absolutely not included), and the pros at Jax filled us

in on some flavor and pairing tips. You'll never

A

nother golf season in the bags. Most players see this as the time to hang up their clubs and pull out the skis. This is a common thought process for

us weekend golfers but, with leadership from the Titleist Performance Institute, RallySport has developed a performance golf off-season training program.

Off-season is the best time to work on your game; so let’s challenge the typical

thought-process and allow you the opportunity to be a significantly different golfer come April.

Below are a few introductory movements that you can help get started. We have found these exercises to be helpful for players of all levels and a great way to get started on your path to success this off season. **Note: If you have any health concerns/issues please contact your physician before attempting these exercises.

Wholly Healthy, Wholly Fulfilled LIVING THE WELL LIFE

A

ARTICLE LISA VAN HORNE

ccording to Briana Borten and Dr. Peter

86

Boulder Lifestyle | January 2017

Borten, leading a balanced, fulfilling life is

not about quick fixes or life hacks. Owners of The Dragontree in Boulder and co-authors of their new book, The Well Life, the Bortens, whose backgrounds include massage therapy, herbal medicine, acupuncture, Ayurveda, psychology, and more, strive to educate readers on how to fill their life to the brim with everything they love and to feel empowered by it, not overwhelmed.

LISA: HOW DID YOU COME TO WRITE THE WELL LIFE? WHAT INSPIRED IT? BRIANA: Over the years, we’ve built up our spas and grown our

company to include many divisions. In the meantime, we've also had kids, gone back to school, traveled, had lots of fun, taken care of ourselves, and kept it all balanced. This all came naturally to us, and it was only when people started asking, "How do you guys do so much without going crazy?" that we realized it was somewhat unusual.

PETER: We noticed a similar trend in clients. Many of them were

healthy by the “usual” standards, but they couldn't figure out how to build the life they really wanted while staying balanced. We saw so much potential, people with a tremendous capacity for so many things that for whatever reason wasn't being actualized.

BRIANA: This prompted us to revise the way we define wellness. A

truly well life includes qualities like the ability to set and achieve goals, having healthy and supportive relationships, and work that allows us to utilize our gifts. As this "big picture" definition emerged we developed a way of teaching our clients to create this life, and that led to this book.

LISA: WHAT IS THE BOOK’S OVERALL MESSAGE? BRIANA: The Well Life is a manual on how to build a happy,

healthy, balanced, successful life. We give instructions and exer-

cises to help readers establish a strong foundation in physical, mental, and spiritual health.

PETER: Of course each person's experience of total well-

ness is unique, so we also guide the reader to figure out what

exactly their well life would look like.

LISA: HOW DO YOUR THREE FOCUSES IN THE BOOK, SWEETNESS, STRUCTURE, AND SPACE, DIRECTLY AFFECT MAINTAINING THIS LIFE? BRIANA: All three elements are essential. Sweetness is our term for

all the things that nourish your body and soul, like cooking, connecting with friends, anything that makes you stronger and more authentically you. For most people, the sweetness is what makes life good, yet it’s often regarded as a treat that can be sacrificed if life gets busy.

PETER: Structure refers to the organizational architecture that

enables you to manage your life and get things done. The key is making our structure more conscious, healthy, and intelligent. A healthy structure steers you in the direction of your dreams and allows for a journey that’s meaningful and fun.

BRIANA: Space gives you the ability to really understand the depths

of your potential. It offers you the capacity to receive, reflect, adjust, heal, and grow. Bring your presence to this moment. Stop the habit of mentally departing from what you’re engaged in.

LISA: WHAT DO YOU HOPE READERS GAIN FROM YOUR BOOK? WHAT ARE YOUR GOALS FOR IT? BRIANA: We hope they see the book

as a resource they can depend on for the

rett Zimmerman, Master Sommelier and owner of Boulder Wine Merchant, says, “I’m often

asked ‘What are you drinking?’ or ‘What are you putting away in the cellar?’” The wines Zimmerman generally requests for his store are typically more than it can afford for its general stock. In order to solve this problem and procure more specialty, highend bottles, Zimmerman curated a select group of wine collectors, comprised of loyal customers and friends, he knew would appreciate the hard-to-find wines with steep discounts as much as he would.

The Somm’s Locker is designed to help people with accumulating and relishing wine at any level. “ This monthly offering is comprised of a mixed selection of top allocated wines from the Boulder Wine Merchant with special 20% discounting for those in the group—a remarkable savings considering many of these wines are very rare and would normally not be eligible for any sort of discounting,” says Zimmerman.

IN HOME, HOUSE-CALL PHYSICIANS Restoring the confidence, convenience and integrity of the physician-patient relationship.

And for those without proper cellaring at home, storage is offered at Corkscrews.

Zimmerman goes above and beyond to provide the utmost level of attentive service, in addition to offering a monthly selection of core wines, he also includes a cyclic write-up and report consisting of tasting notes, educational information, cellaring tips and more.

“We have a wide range of people in the group, most are just wine lovers who want to learn more and have a Master Sommelier help with curating a great collection of wine—at any budget,” adds Zimmerman. “We originally started with minimum requirements of $1000 or $2000 per month, but we have relaxed the program a bit now that we have added more members and built the template. Most are at $1000 per month, with the entry level starting at $500 per month.”

Additionally, members can partake in special classes, along with receiving preferential seating at fine wine
