It's no secret that both chocolate and wine have complex flavors. That is what makes them fun and never a dull addition to special events. Pairing them together, however, can be tricky. A good rule of thumb is to try and match a wine's sweetness with the sweetness of the chocolate.

Williamsburg Dining Tip - Experience Thai Cuisine in New Town

Administrator — Sat, 13 Jun 2009 13:01:32 +0100

I've always loved Pad Thai - crunchy peanuts complimented by spicy chili peppers. I can't get enough of the lime and the sweet but sour noodles. My favorite is Pad Thai with shrimp or tofu, because it's a lighter, healthier option.

Tip from Chef John Gonzales

Administrator — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 05:00:00 +0100

I don't know about you but I'm a mess with kitchen knives. Everytime I have to cut something I either ask my husband to do it or he offers to do it because he knows my "skill".

Here's a video that I enjoyed a lot and I hope you enjoy. This video is a brief demonstration from Williamsburg's Chef Gonzales from A Chef's Kitchen. In the video, he goes over some basic knife skills. As always, I learned something new and very useful from John! Happy Cutting... and Cooking!
