Michelle and Suzanne Rousseau, authors of Caribbean Potluck: Modern Recipes from Our Family Kitchen.
Michelle and Suzanne Rousseau are two celebrity chefs in Jamaica, thanks to their restaurant, their catering business, and their popular online TV series and blog Two Sisters and a Meal. The pair – who have been working together for 20 years – recently released their first book, Caribbean Potluck: Modern Recipes from Our Family Kitchen.
The siblings have a fascinating yet typically Caribbean heritage — they are a “mix-up and blenda” of African, French, German, Indian, Scottish, Haitian, Cuban, and British ancestors — which they tap into as they turn out on dishes that can only be defined as gourmet Jamaican fusion.

Who hasn’t heard of the Judgment of Paris ? As epic as the World Soccer Cup the legendary Paris Wine Tasting proclaimed California wines the winners. On May 24 1976, French judges, all wine experts, carried out a gripping blind tasting of top-quality Chardonnays from Burgundy and California and another of Bordeaux wines from France and Cabernet Sauvignon wines from California. Surpise! A California wine rated best in each category! The American victory stunned the world and put Napa on the wine map overnight, carving its place in history. Bo Barrett, of Chateau Montelena, who was working at Chateau Montelena with his father, dared submit Montelena’s 1973 Chardonnay to the “Judgment of Paris” competition… the rest is the stuff of legends…. Heidi Barrett, Bo’s wife and a prestigious wine consultant, was the wine maker responsible for Screaming Eagle, a California cult Cab, when the wines achieved 99 and 100 point ratings from Robert Parker and started commanding in excess of $1,000 per bottle. At the 2000 Napa Valley Wine Auction, a 6-liter bottle of the ’92 Screaming Eagle set a world record for the highest price ever paid for a single bottle of wine selling for $500,000. Married for over 26 years, Heidi and Bo have each well established their own individual winemaking track records and talk about their delicious cooperation.
Independence Day is the height of the summer entertaining season--a day with family and friends, capped off by brilliant fireworks. But who’s to say the food can’t be equally as exciting as the fireworks, even if it’s hot and you don't want to spend the day in the kitchen. The answer to this dilemma is to find the next best thing to home cooking. Brian Collaro, Regional Prepared Foods Coordinator for Whole Foods Markets, clues us in on the many choices available to let us relax this 4th of July and the rest of the summer, while entertaining.

Some like it hot, some like it mild, some like it in a bucket, others in a bun; some like a crispy skin, others prefer it skinless… In his new book Fried & True Lee Brian Schrager, founder of the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and VP of corporate communications and national events for Southern Wine & Spirit, chronicles more than 50 of America’s best fried chicken recipes—both back-road and big-city iterations. He leaves no bone unpicked as he explores the phenomenon of what he calls America’s “number-one guilty pleasure” and peppers it with interesting facts (like the origins of fried chicken – Scottish! – or the story of waffle with fried chicken) and tricks of the trade.

Which restaurant receives 2,000,000 requests for reservations per year for only 8,000 seats? Where has the eating experience been described as "magical"? At the mythical El Bulli, a shrine of gastronomy in a remote corner of Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain where the most controversial chef on the planet, Ferran Adrià, and his team have revolutionized modern cuisine with dishes intended to challenge, delight, provoke and surprise. Lisa Abend a journalist based in Madrid, has been Time magazine's correspondent in Spain, where she covered from international terrorism, to economy, bullfighting and food for Times and other national magazines. But she loves food and regularly contributes food stories to major American newspapers and food magazines. She also hosts an episode on Andalusia in PBS' Diary of a Foodie. Lisa is also the author of the recently published The Sorcerer’s Apprentices: A Season in the Kitchen at Ferran Adria’s el Bulli, the fascinating story of 35 interns or stagiaires lucky enough to have been accepted to the inner sanctum of the best restaurant in the world
