Chef teaches cooking in Wisconsin forests


Have you ever considered the possibility of learning how to cook in the middle of a forest? Well, the concept is already a reallityand it is possible that you learn it in the Wisconsin forests with a very experienced chef that will show you the secrets behind cooking. Below is the msnbc.com article telling you the whole story with full detail:

"

WEST BEND, Wis. - As more travelers show an interest in local cuisines, a Milwaukee chef is taking the trend a bit further with a cooking school that travels to the food's origins.

The Braise Culinary School holds classes on farms and in forests during warm months. Most classes start with a farm tour — or recently, a walk in the woods — so students can see how food grows before they learn to prepare it.

"The idea, basically, is to reconnect people to their food," chef and owner David Swanson said.

He came up with the idea while working on a business plan for a restaurant and attached cooking school.

"One question that I would think that would come up is: 'Where is this food coming from?'" Swanson said. From there, it was a short jump to offering classes — sometimes literally — in the field.

Swanson, 39, worked in restaurants in the Chicago area and Milwaukee for about 20 years before opening the cooking school in 2006. Since then, he has cooked in apple orchards, wheat fields and breweries. This year's first class began with a mushroom hunt in woods near the University of Wisconsin-Washington County.

Swanson partnered on the class with Britt Bunyard, a mycologist and editor of Fungi magazine. Bunyard led about two dozen people through woods and clearings he had scouted the day before.

"There's no need to run from spot to spot," Bunyard said: Dozens of morels were waiting to be picked.

Gail Groenwoldt, 39, of Milwaukee, signed up for the hunt after seeing morels priced at nearly $50 a pound in her grocery store. During the hunt, she also spotted ramps. A side order of the onion-like plant cost her more than $20 in a Milwaukee restaurant.

"This is why we should learn to forage," Groenwoldt said.

After the hunt, Swanson sauteed morels, ramps, asparagus and potatoes and then added veal stock to make a vegetable ragout. The cooking lesson, Groenwoldt said, was "a treat."

Sara Wong, 33, also from Milwaukee, has taken Indian, sushi and Thai cooking classes. On a trip to Vietnam, she ate dog.

Cannes has a lot to offer


Do you only know Cannes for its famous film festival event? The truth is that Cannes has much more to offer us! In fact, the beaches are really fascinating, there is also the possibility of shopping in the city, amongst many other activities as you may read on the msnbc.com article below:

CANNES, France - For more than 60 years this sunny town on the Mediterranean in the south of France has lured glamorous stars of cinema to its annual film festival.

But it has a history dating back to 2nd Century B.C. as a fishing village and later a trade center. The British, French and Spanish have waged war to control it. Today it is a tourist town on the famed French Riviera.

It is a great, but expensive, weekend getaway of sun and sightseeing and the ideal place from which to embark on a tour of the Provence region, famous for its food and wine.

There are plenty of fine hotels, including the Carlton, Majestic and Martinez, along the famed Croisette, a boulevard and broad walkway that border the sandy beach. Many smaller hotels also offer good service at an affordable price.

FRIDAY

6 p.m.: After unpacking, take a stroll up the Croisette, stopping for a snack or light meal at one of the numerous outdoor cafes and restaurants which are perfect for watching people, street performers, dancers and mimes.

Boats bob in the bay, and on la plage many of the restaurants and nightclubs pulsate with loud music until the early morning hours.

SATURDAY

11:00: The Cote d'Azur is a playground for the rich and famous who rarely rise early. After breakfast of croissants and coffee or tea, put on your swim trunks or bikini and head off for a day at the beach.

There are free public beaches, as well as many private ones where you can rent a chair, towels and an umbrella. Generally associated with a restaurant on the beach, they offer full meals. Rent chairs for the day.

1:00: Enjoy a lunch of salad and grilled fish and a bottle local rose wine at L'Ondine for 71 euros ($99).

3:00: Time for some shopping. The Croisette is lined with boutiques of famous designers, Christian Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Gucci. Two blocks into the town's maze of small streets is the Rue d'Antibes, where more moderate priced retailers like Benetton, Diesel and Missoni have set up shop, alongside art galleries, home design stores and the occasional pharmacy.

8:00: Just as Cannes rises late, dinner also takes place well into the evening. Try the Italian restaurant La Libera, at 17 Rue de Commandant Andre for a meal of antipasto, risotto, lasagna, red wine and a light dessert and coffee for 100 euro ($140).

10:00: Take a late-night stroll up the Croisette before heading back to the hotel.

SUNDAY

9:00: After breakfast, it is time to see the sights. Walk to the city's old section, the Suquet, which dates to before the 10th Century. The streets are cobbled and wide enough only for foot traffic. Apartments with balconies and iron railings line the streets and inexpensive shops and restaurants abound.

If you're luck you may run into an outdoor arts and crafts fair with everything on sale from paintings, jewelry and glassware to local foods and antique woodworking tools. At the top of a hill overlooking the bay is an ancient monastery that provides a glimpse into Cannes' history.

Leaving the hilltop history, walk to the Cannes harbor pier, where for 11 Euro ($15) for adults (5.50 euro for children) you can board a ferry for a 15-minute ride past million dollar yachts to the island of Saint Marguerite.

On the island is old Fort Royal, again overlooking the bay. For a time, the infamous Man in the Iron Mask was imprisoned on Sainte Marguerite, but now its many footpaths, open glades and beaches are used for daytrips by locals and tourists.

1:00: Stop for a lunch of pizza, salad and a small bottle of rose wine at one of the two cafes. Or like many of the locals pack your own lunch and enjoy a picnic and take in the sun on the beach or craggy rocks. Stroll around the island and stop under shady pine trees to rest, relax and even take a nap.

7:00: Dine at the Le Mesclun restaurant where you can enjoy aperitifs and a four-course meal of salads, soups, meats, dessert and coffee. The meal will cost about 300 euro ($420) but it offers a chance to sample Cannes at its best.
