French-Toasted Brioche I love this sort of waste-not-want-not recipe, but what I had in mind here was something with just a hint more sophistication, so brioche, rather than ordinary bread, was in order. The salesgirl looked at me as if she was on candid camera (caméra cachée in French), and said that no, they didn't keep old stuff around. All right. Fresh would do. I got home, sliced the slices, and left them out on the counter to dry.

Los Angeles Times Wine of the Week
2004 Roc d'Anglade Vin de Pays du Gard The result is a wine that exudes a voluptuous southern French character and tastes of wild herbs and dark, concentrated berries. It could be the perfect 'cue wine once the weather clears. But it's equally terrific with a pork roast with herbs tucked into the meat, with grilled lamb chops, or even better, a magret (seared or grilled duck breast).

Potato Gnocchi This is one of the dishes we started making as a result of their trip to Tuscany, and we've experimented with various ratios of potato to flour. What you want is a minimal amount of flour, too much and the gnocchi will be too dense. The trick, we've learned, is to use older potatoes, and to bake them, not boil or steam them, so that they get pretty dried out.

BYO to Philadelphia It's hard to think of another city where a diner might feel similarly empowered. At a traditional restaurant with an established wine list and the service to go along with it, such an act would be considered heresy.
