Being woefully behind this holiday, your smoked salmon & pistacio roll recipe caught my eye. I'm wondering -- think I could use smoked salmon rather than canned salmon & liquid smoke? Thanks & happy holidays!

Join the Seafood Symphony, and get a Maine crab cake recipe started.
The recipe in the magazine doesn.t quite float my boat. As an old Marylander, I think that Chesapeake Bay and crab cakes are IT.
I know some Maine folks through the year that would argue the point. Lobster rolls- Maine only !!

Check out Peter's food shots. I think they're really great. They might give you some ideas.

Every week we introduce a new cheese and invite you to find it in your area, buy it, try it and then discuss it with us. Again welcome and take a look at all the groups here on Dancing Spoon.

May'be there is a chance also that you can start a day around 10 am with a personnal tatsting of a glass from a vineyard that you will like to know better. This is not so rare - Jancis Robinson is doing this as well ... byeee

So nice to hear from you. I live up on an island in northeast Maine and am not sure the possibilities of a wine club. However, this is a great idea and I will check on this next week.

We go to wine tastings whenever we get a chance, however, the good ones are usually 3 to 5 hour drive away. I will let you know what I find out.

Thank you for your history, what fun!

Talk soon!

Nice to hear of you . My training was organised by Sopexa Belgium . It was a two years training of each weekly 3 hours tasting and getting lessons over 50 weeks .Therefore I followed the basic for beginners during 10 sessions of 3 hours .But the most important is for wine- lovers tasting tasting and again tasting . I ' m not attached to horeca .It means I go to organisations to have sessions with them .Well I can tell you Kate sometimes it is for me a little bit frustating ...Why? Well my friend sommelier is working in a top rated restaurant inEllezelles. He opens may'be 30 to 40 bottles a day there where my quantity is just maybe up to max. 3 bottles in a week (in home situation ).But in the club of the sommeliers we come often together to taste the winesof winegrowers like Haut Bailly ( Veronique Sanders - tasting of Gigondas and Vaqueras - Wines of South Africa - etc ... ) For me is this the way to update my tasting-sense . So joining a club of tasters can be a helpfull idea .I have started also in the early 80 's.To become a member of
the" Vlaamse Wijngilde" was for me a start to learn about Ausone, about sweetwines in the Loire etc ...
Maybe even in this comm. we can taste together ,even life if everybody will do a try to make this"dream" come trough... I have so many things to tell again . If you will you can reach me with mail : etiennedezutter@yahoo.com
So try to read about wines as much as you can but also try to create a way to taste TOGETHER so you can compare the tasting-notes and learn about it !!!
hear of you more !!!
