Los Angeles Times Wine of the Week
2005 Domaine Raymond Dupont-Fahn Bourgogne 'Chaumes des Perrières' This barrel-fermented blanc from 40-year-old vines has an elegance that belies its humble appellation. Ripe and full, the 2005 has butterscotch and smoke in the nose and an earthy finish. Drink up, with scallops, risotto, steamed mussels, fish or roast chicken with morels and cream.

Bourdain Socks it to the Food Network Chef Anthony Bourdain, author and TV personality, takes a swipe at the current state of Food Network on his buddy Michael Ruhlman's blog. Bourdain praises Mario Batalli, while condemning Sandra Lee, in one characteristically vituperous rant. Classic Bourdain and highly entertaining. (Especially if you agree with him.)

Banh Xeo Vietnamese Crepe One of the simplest recipes I got a chance to make while on vacation in Vietnam was banh xeo, pronounced bahn sow. This is a delicious crunchy chewy crepe that seems like it's made from eggs, but never is. The yellow color comes from a sprinkling of turmeric. It's filled with a combination of pork and shrimp, scallions and bean sprouts.

Baked Doughnuts The idea that a baked doughnut can match up to its deep-fried brethren is laughable in some circles. I'll concede they aren't the same, but they can be just as delicious - delicious yet different. They get bonus points for being healthier and for not making the house smell like a greasy fry station. Broadly speaking, if you can make pizza dough, you can make these.
