A Time to be Thankful

NOVEMBER 2017

Thankful: it’s a word that gets tossed around a lot this time of year as November arrives and 2017 begins to draw to a close.

Jennifer Downs, Publisher

And although it typically marks the winding down of the year, November is also a season of beginnings. This month begins the season of giving and the season of receiving. It begins the season of family gatherings and time spent with friends. It’s the month of Thanksgiving Day parades, Black Friday shopping, mom’s traditional holiday dinners and naps on the couch when you’ve had too much turkey ... or casserole ... or pie …

But, perhaps most importantly, it’s the beginning of a season of reflection and gratefulness.

While we’re incredibly thankful for all of the food (who isn’t thankful for the person who came up with pie?), wine and family time November brings—food and wine is this month’s theme, after all—here at Brentwood Lifestyle, we’re truly thankful for you.

When we fill this magazine each month with local restaurants, locally-owned businesses and inspiring members of the Brentwood community, it’s because we’re thankful for everything the place we call home has to offer, and for you—the readers and members of this community—who continue to inspire us to make every issue of this publication special.

Thank you for taking the time to join us as we strive to connect you with your community through meaningful words and beautiful photographs.

And to you, our readers, take some time to think about what you’re thankful for this November. May you find gratitude in the little things, and may the list of what you’re thankful for go on forever.

Have a great November, Brentwood, and happy Thanksgiving.

Brentwood Lifestyle | November 2017

As Julia Child says, "I enjoy cooking with wine, sometimes I even put it in the food I'm cooking."

Wine should be added to food early enough in the cooking process that it has time to simmer. As wine cooks down, the alcohol evaporates away and the flavors begin to concentrate. Use a light hand at first until you get familiar with cooking with wine.

Typically, white wines impart their delicate flavor to seafood, and dishes like chicken piccata and vegetable risotto. Red wine adds depth to bolder dishes like beef bourguignon, mushroom steak sauce, and of course, great-grandma's famous pasta sauce.

Using wine in a reduction or to deglaze a pan creates an intense and complex sauce.

It easily picks up those coveted brown bits that elevate the flavor of any dish. But be careful—light and overly fruity wines can ruin a sauce. The fruitiness is lost during the cooking process and will leave the sauce too acidic, ensuring those lovely brown bits have gone to waste.

Red or White?

Let's be clear about what is considered a good cooking wine. The so-called "Cooking Wine" found in your local grocery store next to the fancy vinegars and Worcestershire sauce is a poor excuse for a cooking ingredient. They are low in alcohol content, highly acidic, and contain a massive amount of salt.

Instead, choose a wine you would pair with the meal. Use one that is fruity, medium or full-bodied, and with little or no oak flavor. Wine aged in oak barrels tends to turn bitter and harsh when cooked in food.

For red wines, Pinot Noir and blends such as Côtes du Rhône will produce consistent results. Again, avoid wines aged in oak such as the robust Cabernet Sauvignon. White wines should also be dry and full-bodied. Try a Sauvignon Blanc, unoaked Chardonnay, or even a French Vermouth.

Although tasters favored wines in the two more expensive price ranges, none thought the difference justified spending an extra $10 or $20. They found that limiting the price to $10 left cooks with plenty of good shopping options.

Cooking Tips:

• Add a light, dry white wine

to melted butter and baste grilled, broiled, or baked fish.

• Mix wine with different herbs and olive oil to make a delicious salad dressing.

• Stir in a couple tablespoons of red wine into brown gravy. Slowly simmer to create a luscious sauce for beef.

• Freeze leftover drinking wine in ice cube trays for future cooking use.

• Use a wine-based marinade to help keep meat, poultry or seafood moist while it cooks.

RED WINE REDUCTION FOR SAUCES

Makes about 2 tablespoons Two tablespoons of this potent wine reduction can be substituted in a recipe, such as a pan sauce, tomato sauce, or roast beef jus, that calls for one-half to three-quarters cup of wine. Add this reduction near the end of the cooking time—the way you might finish a sauce by swirling in some butter. The reduction can be kept for up to two weeks in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

1 small carrot, chopped fine (about 2 tablespoons) 1 medium shallot, minced (about 2 tablespoons) 2 button mushrooms, chopped fine (about 3 tablespoons) 1 small bay leaf 3 sprigs fresh parsley 1 cup fruity, smooth, medium-bodied red wine blend Heat all ingredients in 12-inch nonstick skillet over low heat; cook, without simmering (liquid should be steaming but not bubbling), until mixture reduces to 1 cup, 15 to 20 minutes. Pour through strainer and return liquid (about 1/2 cup) to clean skillet. Continue to cook over low heat, without simmering, until liquid is reduced to 2 tablespoons, 15 to 20 minutes.

SIMPLE, FUN & EVEN HEALTHY RECIPES

CHILDREN ENJOY THANKSGIVING MORE WHEN THEY HELP PREPARE THE FEAST ARTICLE BARBARA BARRIELLE

A

few years ago, my nieces were sitting around watching TV while the adults sweated over the timing of the turkey and who makes the best stuffing and whether apples or

nuts or both should be added to the final sage dressing.

I asked one of them whether she would like to see my secret and easy cranberry sauce recipe to which she replied, “I don’t like cranberries!” I responded that she would like these, and, sure enough, a cranberry sauce lover was born that day. My own daughter, Charlotte, had long been converted and loved nothing more than the popping of cranberries simmering over a low flame as we added the natural ingredients and orange juice and maple syrup.

My nieces all fell in love with this sauce, taking turns slowly stirring and watching the cranberries meet their demise as they popped and became a chunky stew (be careful of splatters!) Now the recipe is easily tripled or quadrupled to allow the red sauce to ooze out of the leftover turkey sandwiches the next day. And nothing artificial is added if you use pure orange juice and maple syrup.

Brentwood Lifestyle | November 2017

NATURAL CRANBERRY SAUCE INGREDIENTS

1 bag of cranberries 1 cup pure orange juice ½ cup pure maple syrup INSTRUCTIONS

1. Put cranberries in a saucepan and add half the orange juice. Cook on medium heat until berries begin to pop then reduce heat and add remainder of orange juice and all of the maple syrup.

2. Cook until the majority of berries have popped, avoiding splatter. Maple syrup can be increased for sweetness. Let cool. CONTINUED November 2017 | Brentwood Lifestyle

BRENTWOOD THANKSGIVING TRADITIONS ARTICLE MARIA DINOIA

E

veryone has their own way of celebrating Thanksgiving. Some people may enjoy an indulgent breakfast to start their day, while

others may have the children serve the meal's dessert. Others may spend the day watching football or even sitting by a warm fire. But, however you choose to celebrate, one thing a Thanksgiving celebration has in common is family. Thanksgiving is a chance for families to gather together, to feast and to enjoy being with one another. We asked some locals to share with us their favorite family traditions.

The Kemp family Thanksgiving is an exercise in multitasking. It begins when Doc Kemp puts the turkey in the oven while a couple dozen Kemps watch the Macy’s Parade, The National Dog Show and play games (in a most competitive manner). At lunch, we each

The meal is followed by more games, more football and, finally, a favorite classic movie, like 'No Time for Sergeants.' The great thing about the Kemp Thanksgiving celebration is that it actually begins on Wednesday afternoon and ends on Sunday afternoon."

DANIELLE BLAUVELT LITTLE NEST PORTRAITS

"Our favorite tradition is to set up our three Christmas trees to create our own Christmas wonderland. We set them up close to each other and wrap our Polar Express train set around the base of the trees. We love to read the Polar Express book and watch the movie over and over during the season."
