  • The World Goes on a Culinary Journey and YOU are invited – Goût de France

    France has invited the entire world to a savory journey: on March 19th, 2015, more than one thousand restaurants around the world will join in to celebrate France’s gastronomy.

    logo_en

    Organized by world renowned Alain Ducasse and the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development,  Goût de France was inspired by the iconic Auguste Escoffier, who in 1912 launched “Dîners d’Épicure” (Epicurean Dinners) – featuring a menu which was aimed at being served the same day in as many cities as possible.

    Eateries around the world, from haute-cuisine restaurants to bistros, were invited to apply to participate by proposing a menu that showcased France’s culinary traditions. Winners were selected by a committee lead by Ducass himself.

    All winning menus render homage to a vibrant, open and innovative cuisine, while remaining true to its values of sharing, pleasure, respect for good food, and for the planet.  There are 24 participating restaurants in the US, from LA to NY and 43 in Mexico.

    Our dear José Bossuet is among these 43, with his Café Contento, being the only eatery participating  in this event in San Miguel de Allende.

    Chef José Bossuet
    Chef José Bossuet, Café Contento

    Bossuet has appointed La Vitamina T´s very own Aldo Saavedra to be part of the event. Here is the menu he will be serving.

     Foie Gras and Cactus Terrin, Hibiscus Royal Kir

    • Zucchini Blossom and Roquefort Quesadilla
    • Provençale-Style Red Snapper, Cilantro Green Rice
    • Beef Medallions, Watermelon Au Jus
    • Local “Corazón de Plata” goat cheese
    • Chocolate, fennel and grilled mango tart with coconut foam

    If you are in Guanajuato, you are in luck and we are very jealous (we will be at an event in Miami where NO restaurants have won their entry to this worldwide event. Ahhhhh!)

    All participating restaurants are now present on www.good-france.com website. You may book directly at the restaurant of your choice.

  • Viaja al Pasado sin Dejar la Ciudad con Chicago, Ford y Tú

    CFYTSe terminó el Chicago Auto Show, un evento que en su edición número 107 rompió records de asistencia. Como es tradición, el público tuvo la oportunidad de votar por sus favoritos, y Ford ganó a lo grande, incluyendo premios al auto más popular y al mejor auto en producción.

    Uno de los coches que obtuvo mi voto es el GT-350, un vehículo increíblemente poderoso inspirado en un clásico: el Shelby GT350, y para ir a tono con el tema de la nostalgia, visitamos una de mis cafeterías favoritas: Eleven City Diner en Lincoln Park.

    Este establecimiento nos remonta a una época de antaño en la que abundaban los ´diners´ o cafeterías casuales y de ambiente familiar. Aquí puedes encontrar deliciosos sandwiches, sopas, ensaladas y hasta dulces a granel. Algo que siempre me ha fascinado en esta cafetería (además de su pan recién salido del horno) es la fuente de sodas, donde se preparan bebidas que definitivamente te transportan a otra época. Prueba sus malteadas hechas a la antigüita, o sus “fosfatos”, que son bebidas gaseosas que se popularizaron a fines de los 1800s y que están recobrando auge en la coctelería actual.

    Si traes tu auto contigo, estás de suerte, porque el restaurante ofrece estacionamiento en la parte de atrás, así que no tienes que sufrir en este frío tremendo para viajar al pasado.

  • Food: How it Makes Words Delicious. From the Series #DíloconSabor (Say it with Flavor)

    A Darle

    “A darle que es mole de olla” (Let’s get to work because we are making mole de olla). This expression is used to instill motivation to begin working on a complex task.

    Post 1 of the series #DíloconSabor (Say it with Flavor)

    Having been raised in Mexico City, Mexico,  it was not until I moved to the US as a young professional, that I realized that sports jargon was prevalent in colloquial language.  I might have not fully understood which sport the expressions had been borrowed from, but I very quickly became adept at seasoning my language with phrases such as “touch base”, “call an audible”, “drop the ball”, etc.   Something that was very curious to me is that in contrast, Mexicans season their language with food. This series, “Dílo con Sabor” is a collection of food-centric sayings or allegories that are now part of popular wisdom or folklore.

    Do you have a favorite food-related saying? Tweet it to @lavitaminat with the hashtag #díloconsabor (sayitwithflavor).

  • Art and Heart: A Culinary Showcase by Ron Aleman at Sophie’s

    Sophie's Ron Aleman.
    Sophie’s Ron Aleman.

     

    Art.

    This is the first thought that came to mind when my dish was served – a beautiful combination of colors and textures that made me take notice. The impeccable service and a thoughtfully curated space overlooking Michigan Avenue added to the experience.  Comfort meets class here, and you can´t help but feel charmed when you visit.  I was hooked.

    Chef Aleman's cioppino at Sophie's.
    Chef Aleman’s cioppino at Sophie’s.

    And beyond beauty, substance.  Heart.  You are after all at Saks Fifth Avenue… a model walking by each table with the latest designer jacket can be a reminder of your targeted budget or caloric intake. Chef Ron Aleman’s food is so good though, that somehow you feel welcome, not intimidated.

    As I kept coming back I realized that something resonated within me. Just like shorthand, food is a secret language that transports you to a particular time and place. I knew the author of my meal was undoubtedly an artist. But, why did I think that this American fare spoke Spanish to my soul?

    Chef Ron Aleman grew up dreaming of pursuing a career in the arts, perhaps painting or drawing (when I heard this, the artistic plating made perfect sense). Instead, he took a detour and graduated with a degree in business. As a successful salesman, at the age of 30, (when many professionals have consecrated themselves to their craft) Aleman was starting over.  In his new position, tending to the chores assigned to the most junior staff, he took over washing dishes and mopping with pride. “I knew this was the path I needed to follow, and there was nothing to be ashamed of”, he said.

    If you have tried Chef Aleman’s food, you have looked at a snapshot of his heart: “Family is at the center of food. Food is love… cooking for others is an honor.” It is precisely his family where Chef draws a lot of his inspiration. Aleman found his Mexican mother-in-law’s asada salsa so irresistible, that he recreated her recipe in his kitchen. Growing up with tortillas as a staple of his family’s meals, his point of view is down-to-earth yet uniquely cosmopolitan. If you visit, try his coconut bread pudding, a dessert that in Mexico, we call capirotada.

    You say bread pudding, I say capirotada. Either way, this dessert is amazing.
    You say bread pudding, I say capirotada. Either way, this dessert is amazing.

    Like CliffsNotes on Chicago, Chef Ron Aleman’s dishes are a synopsis of the character of the city- elevated yet approachable; informally sophisticated; worldy American with just the perfect touch of heat.

  • The Perfect Complement to Great Food. Tips & Recipes by Rick Bayless. (Sponsored)

    I was so excited when Negra Modelo asked me to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime walking food tour of San Francisco (led by none other than Rick Bayless), with stops including everything you can imagine from carnicerías to panaderías and tortillerías*.  The elation was immediately followed by the crushing realization that I had a previous commitment that would not allow me to physically make it.

    I already knew I needed a clone, but this was just overwhelming evidence.

    Luckily for me, our friends at Negra Modelo allowed me to report from the distance. Thanks to the magic of social media,  I  intently followed the mouthwatering play-by-play which included freshly made tortillas, the freshest carne asada meat in town, huaraches, pan dulce, and of course, Negra Modelo. ¡Ahhh!

    In 1965 Salvador Vazquez brought Mexican carne asada cuts to San Francisco.

    As I “followed” the group into the panadería, which I learned was proudly operated by a third-generation baker, I understood the shop was out of my beloved conchas (for a moment I confess experiencing fleeting gratitude, as I could not bear much more pain). The group still lucked out, enjoying these instead:

    Pan dulce is such a staple of Mexican meals. “Ir por el pan”  (to go get bread) is a daily, delicious activity so prevalent, that it has made it into colloquial expressions. For example, a famous pick up line is: “¿A qué hora vas por el pan?“. Literally meaning, “when do you usually go get bread?” the expression is usually used to say: “When will you be alone so that I can talk to you?”

    When I was a little girl and even living in the city, men on bicycles with huge baskets on their heads, would home deliver pan dulce. I am not sure that this still takes place in big cities, but growing up, it was always a treat to hear panaderos ringing their bells, chanting ,”¡el pan!” (bread is here!) This is immediately what I though of when I saw the picture below. Priceless!

    I vicariously enjoyed this very thoughtful event through the tweets and posts of my fellow foodies. Plus, although I  did not get to try the Twitter activated machine packed with samples,  I was able to bring this party favor to you-  Negra Modelo’s new website featuring tips and recipes by Chef Bayless, just in time for the holidays. Look no further!  www.NegraModeloUsa.com helps you bring to life anything from guacamole con chicharrón to mussels, all made or paired with Negra Modelo, the perfect complement to great food.

    See? You can have your beer and drink it too!

    ¡Salud!

  • Pilsen y su Calle 18: Una Puerta Dimensional a México en Chicago

    Si estás en Chicago y te da un ataque de nostalgia, o si estás de visita y quieres descubrir un lugar diferente dentro de la ciudad, a sólo 5 kilómetros al sureste del “Loop” se encuentra  el barrio de Pilsen. Fundado por colonizadores de Europa del este a fines del siglo XIX, Pilsen fue nombrado en honor a la cuarta ciudad más grande de Checoslovaquia. No fue sino a principios de 1960 que la comunidad hispana empezó a hacer de Pilsen su casa. Ya para los 70, Pilsen era, como les hoy, una colonia muy diversa y predominanemente hispana.

    Virtualmente un museo al aire libre, quien visita Pilsen podrá descubrir una serie de murales que sirven como vehículo para el discurso social. Exilio, lucha e identidad son los mensajes predominantes de esta expresión de arte urbano. Si prefieres un museo intramuros, no te pierdas el Museo de Arte Mexicano.  La entrada es gratuita.

    La calle 18 es una puerta dimensional a una serie de negocios que van desde restaurantes, panaderías, dulcerías, hasta peluquerías. ¿Quieres pan como ese que probaste en las ferias de Acámbaro? Aquí lo encuentras. Estos personajes llegaron como recetas en los morrales de artesanos michoacanos y aquí se hicieron pan.

    Y si en tu paseo te da hambre, acuérdate de visitar Carnitas Uruapan, donde encontrarás desde chicharrón, hasta quesadillas de sesos y ensalada de nopales. Pasa a saludar al Güero Carbajal y díle que te recomendó tu amiga Brenda Storch de La Vitamina T.

    46253_Premios Badges-FINAL4

    La Vitamina T has proudly accepted the invitation to host a viewing party courtesy of Sprint, the exclusive wireless sponsor of Premios Billboard de la Música Latina.  Sprint brings music lovers everywhere closer to the artists and music they love.

    And just because food brings friends and family together, we have asked the one and only chef Atzimba Pérez to create an authentic Mexican menu to delight a few of our closest friends.

    The menu features all-time hits including:

    Cochinita Pibil Tostadas: A Yucatán pulled-pork staple, served with black refried beans, pickled habanero chilis with purple onion and orange.

    Mexican Crab Tacos: Served with avocado and tomatillo salsa.

    Sinaloan Chilorio Sopes: Served with pinto beans, julienned panela cheese and poblano peppers. Great with norteño music.

    Huitlacoche and Epazote Quesadillas:  Served with chihuahua cheese, tomatillo and chile ancho and morita salsa. ¡Ajúa!

    Dessert:

    Tres leches cake with strawberry or peach.

    Ricotta canutillos, cheese-stuffed pastries and chongos zamoranos, a curdled milk delicacy with agave nectar and piloncillo.

    Sounds delicious? Don´t be left out! We will be tweeting and posting photos of the party on Twitter @lavitaminat and on our Facebook page.

    You too can join La Vitamina T and Sprint in the music festival celebration! Tune in from home and join the conversation on Twitter.
