Food for Thought: Wintertime wining and dining Comment DailyTidings.com Writer Posted Dec. 23, 2014 at 12:01 AM Posted Dec. 23, 2014 at 12:01 AM » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK A nice glass of wine is the perfect finishing touch on a meal, whether we’re talking a gourmet, labor-intensive entree or a more ordinary-but-still-delicious store-bought dessert. Some things to keep in mind, for those who are just getting started with the concept: 1. Acidity: Consider the acid balance between the wine and your dish of choice when planning a pairing. Acidic wines pair well with rich, fatty foods, and can help minimize the briny flavors found in seafood. It’s also important to know that salty foods don’t do so well with acidic wines; the taste can be too overpowering. 2. Sweetness: While it may sound counterintuitive, sweet wines are typically matched with dishes that are even sweeter. A sweet wine also pairs well with tart flavors, toning down the mouth-puckering that a lemony dessert may induce. Feeling like a little contrast? Try pairing a sweet dessert wine with a salty gourmet cheese. 3. Bitterness: Wines with heavy tannins tend to taste bitter, but you can balance that out with sweet dishes, or with grilled or blackened meats. A well-done steak goes great with a deep, bitter red wine, for example, and cheese — heavy in proteins and fats — is another ideal option for mellowing out bitterness and bringing out the fruity notes in your glass. 4. Alcohol content: If you’re preparing a dish heavy on sugar or fat, you’ll want to pair it with an alcohol with a higher alcohol content. Preparing a spicy dish? Stay away from wines with higher alcohol contents, as the alcohol can amplify the heat in an already-fiery entree. — More Content Now NUMBER TO KNOW 145,000: In 2012, a team of Portuguese chefs set the record for the world’s largest omelet when they whipped up an omelet that contained 145,000 free-range eggs.

Iran Answer at bottom of rail. WORD TO THE WISE macerate: To macerate something is to soften it by soaking it in liquid. You usually hear the word used in recipes that include fresh or dried fruit. Macerating fresh fruit releases some of its juices, creating a sweet syrup. Common liquids for macerating include citrus juice, wine, rum, brandy and balsamic vinegar. A good rule of thumb: one tablespoon of liquid per cup of fruit. — Cookthink THE DISH ON… ‘The Baking Bible’ by Rose Levy Beranbaum Legendary baker Rose Levy Beranbaum is back with her most extensive “bible” yet.
