STONEWALLKITCHEN.COM | Like us on Facebook Welcome ecently, a couple of our staff members attended a cooking class offered by another organization that shall remain unnamed. The goal was to see and assess how a competitor was performing—and it was quite enlightening. The focus of the class was clear from the start—they were there to sell product. Recipes were not provided for students to follow along, but given at the end. Techniques were minimal, and the instructor was not clear as to how or where ingredients had been procured nor how the mise en place had been assembled. Friends and family members wandered in and out to get fed. Fairly unprofessional, yet not at all inexpensive. Trust me, we are very happy to sell product as a result of a class, and there is no doubt that the Cooking School exists within Draeger’s to support and augment all the facets of our business. But one thing is abundantly clear: We want to teach cooking fundamentals, and we want to give our students the confidence to enjoy their time in the kitchen and cook good food for themselves and their family. A kitchen towel that was given to me offers this advice—Mangia Bene, Ridi Spesso, Ama Molto. It translates to Eat Well, Laugh Often, Love Much. We wish nothing more for our students.

To register for classes, visit draegerscookingschool.com L e f t : A la n R i c h ar d s o n ; r i g h t : Da v i d e L u c i a n o Called a “culinary guru” by The New York Times, Dorie Greenspan is the author of 12 cookbooks Special Guests Directions Makes about 28 cookies Ingredients 2/3 cup (134 grams) sugar 2/3 cup (80 grams) walnuts (whole or pieces) ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt Pinch of ground cinnamon (optional) A little freshly grated lemon zest (optional) 1 ¼ cups (170 grams) all-purpose flour 1 stick (8 tablespoons; 4 ounces; 113 grams) cold unsalted butter, cut into small pieces 1 large egg, lightly beaten Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting Thick jam, such as raspberry, strawberry, cherry or apricot Little Rascals When I discovered that the German name for these cookies, which I grew up with, translated as “Little Rascals,” it made me love them even more. Not that their proper name, Spitzbuben, didn’t also sound comical to my American ears, but Little Rascals was irresistible. Happily, the cookie is as irresistible as its name. Essentially jam-filled sandwich cookies, these are made with walnuts and very little flavoring: a pinch of cinnamon, if you’d like; a scrape of lemon zest, if that’s your fancy. Mostly the flavor is butter, sugar and nuts. The texture is best described as crumbly and a little gritty (in the best way). Half the cookies, which are always made small and often made for Christmas, are baked whole and the other half are given peeka-boo cutouts. When the cookies are cool, they’re sandwiched with a tiny bit of jam that pushes up alluringly through the cutout. They seem a lot like linzer cookies’ simpler cousins, don’t they? And wouldn’t they be great for Valentine’s Day if you used heart-shaped cutters? A word on the jam filling: If you’d like, you can bring the jam to a boil (I do this in the microwave), let it cool and then spoon it onto the cookies—boiling will thicken the jam and make it less sticky. But using jam straight from the jar is fine too. Put the sugar, walnuts, salt, and cinnamon and zest, if you’re using them, in a food processor and pulse until the nuts are ground. It’s better to have a few discernible pieces of nuts than nut butter, so keep an eye on the mix as you go. Add the flour and process to incorporate. Scatter over the pieces of butter and pulse until the mixture forms crumbs and resembles streusel. Add the egg a little at a time, pulsing after each bit goes in. Pulse a few more times, until you have a soft dough. Scrape the dough out onto a work surface, divide it in half and shape each into a disk. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll the dough ¼ inch thick between sheets of parchment. Slide the dough, still sandwiched between the paper, onto a baking sheet—you can stack the slabs—and freeze for at least 1 hour; longer is better. This dough remains soft even when frozen, so it’s best to get it as cold as you can before cutting it. When you’re ready to bake, center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Have two cookie cutters at the ready: one 1½ inches in diameter and the other a little less than 1 inch (the cutters can be plain or scallop-edged). Pull out one piece of dough; keep the other in the freezer. Peel away both sheets of parchment and return the dough to one sheet. Working quickly, cut out as many 1½-inch rounds as you can, placing them on the baking sheet a scant 2 inches apart. Use the smaller cutter to remove the centers of half of the cookies. If the dough breaks while you’re cutting out the centers, patch it; if the dough is really soft and you’re not having fun cutting it, slide the baking sheet into the freezer and give it a 10-minute chill. Reserve the scraps, then combine the scraps from the second piece of dough, shape into a disk, roll, freeze, cut and bake. Bake the cookies for 14 to 16 minutes, rotating the sheet after 10 minutes, or until pale golden brown. Transfer the baking sheet to a rack and allow the cookies to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough, always using a cool baking sheet. To finish the cookies, dust the cut-out cookies with confectioners’ sugar. Turn the whole cookies over, bottoms up, and place about ½ teaspoon of jam in the center of each one. Top with the cut-out cookies, pressing down lightly to push the jam toward the edges. Storing Wrapped airtight, the dough can be frozen for up to 2 months; cut and bake directly from the freezer, adding another minute or two to the baking time if needed. Covered, the cookies will be fine at room temperature for up to 2 days. They’ll get a little softer because of the jam, but they’ll still be nice.

D r a e g e r ’ s C o o k i n g S c h o o l 7 By Abigail Crayne The arrival of fall and the holiday season heralds many opportunities for enjoying and exploring the world of Champagne and sparkling wine. Although always an excellent choice for year-round enjoyment, sparkling wine adds an extra-festive touch and a truly special note to your celebration or gathering. As a general rule, only sparkling wine from the Champagne region of France, produced by following traditional methods, can be labeled as Champagne. Any other origin will have a different name, such as Cremant, Cava, Prosecco or sparkling wine, to name a few. One particular niche within the Champagne category is that of single estate or grower Champagnes. These are produced by the family or farmer of the estate on which the grapes were grown. With increased interest in knowing about where our food comes from, this same approach can be extended to your Champagne experience. Grower Champagnes display unique characteristics from each producer, exemplifying the terroir (climate and soil) and the decisions of the winemaker to create a distinctive house style. These differ from big-name brand Champagnes that are likely blended from grapes purchased from many sources within the Champagne region. This approach achieves a consistent, brand-driven product every year—and not the expression of a place and winemaker you will find when enjoying a grower Champagne. Grower Champagnes will not have instantly recognizable names and labels, but the trade-up is that instead of a big marketing campaign to support, they offer an exceptional quality-to-price ratio. Selection at each Draeger’s Wine Department will vary, with the San Mateo location particularly focusing on grower Champagnes. These bottles can often be identified by the initials RM (RecoltantManipulant) on the wine label, and they are grouped together for your convenience. Excellent choices are available, so ask our knowledgeable Wine Department staff for suggestions. Try something new, and enjoy with your friends and family over the holidays and beyond! Ingredients 4 ounces unsalted butter 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped 1 tablespoon flat-leaf parsley, minced 1 clove garlic, peeled and crushed 3 tablespoons grapeseed oil 1 cup popcorn kernels Truffle salt or kosher salt to taste Freshly ground black pepper Directions In a small saucepan, melt butter over low heat with the thyme, parsley and garlic and set aside to infuse. Pair it with Food Because of their minerality and acidity, dry (brut) Champagnes and sparkling wines pair well with many foods without overpowering the flavors of the dish. Excellent Champagne pairings include appetizers, seafood, fried foods and salty items, as well as heartier fare like duck, pork and many cheeses, including Brie, Brillat-Savarin, Camembert, Gorgonzola dolce and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Truffle and Herb Popcorn Serves 4 Heat a large, lidded pot over mediumhigh heat and add the grapeseed oil. Add popcorn kernels, place the lid securely atop and shake from side to side briefly to coat the kernels with oil. Once corn begins to pop, shake pot frequently, carefully avoiding touching steam and the hot pot. Continue until popping slows to about 5-second intervals. Remove from heat and carefully pour into a large bowl. Remove garlic from butter and discard. Drizzle the butter over the popcorn, lightly stirring to mix and coat evenly. Season with truffle salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately. To register for classes, call 800.642.9463 x261 or 650.685.3704 Mon.–Fri., 9 am–5 pm ...

Set the oven rack in the center position. In a heavy bottom saucepan, combine milk, butter and seasonings. Bring to a boil and simmer until butter has melted. Remove pan from the heat. Pour in all the flour at once and stir vigorously with a spoon until well incorporated. Return pan to the burner over medium heat and stir with the spoon until the mixture pulls away from the sides of the pan and the spoon, approximately 1 to 2 minutes; a thin film of the dough will stick to the bottom of the pan. Remove from the heat. Pour dough into the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat dough on medium-high until it has cooled to room temperature. Crack the eggs into a small bowl, then with the machine running, add eggs, one at a time, making sure each egg is completely incorporated into the dough and the dough is smooth. Add the cheese and chives and continue beating until well combined. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Using a pastry bag with a ½-inch tip, fill the bag and pipe out the dough into mounds about 2 inches in diameter, at least 2 inches apart. Brush tops lightly with egg wash. Bake Facts and Figures There are over 19,000 independent growers in the Champagne region, accounting for nearly 88 percent of all sheet pan in the middle of the oven until gougeres have doubled in size and are golden brown, approximately 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and make a small slit in the side of each puff to allow steam to escape. Serve warm or at room temperature. recipes courtesy of vineyard land in the region. Around 5,000 of these growers produce wine from their own grapes. Only about 5 percent of the Champagne imported into the U.S. is grower Champagne. Draeger’s Cooking School.
