By Durham Magazine | November 23, 2015

“Tina Ujlaki is a legendary and beloved food magazine editor who has been at Food & Wine for more than 30 years. I am lucky to call her a mentor; when she was my boss in the early 1990s, she taught me much about how to dine, not just to […]

Mo Ferrell’s Bourbon Maple Sweet Potatoes

By Durham Magazine | November 23, 2015

“One year I was asked to bring the sweet potato casserole to our large extended family Thanksgiving. When you are asked to bring the sweet potatoes to Thanksgiving dinner, it’s like being asked to bring old Aunt Sally, the distant aunt that always wears the same dress and makes the […]

Tom Rankin’s Winter Corn Pudding

By Durham Magazine | November 19, 2015

“I can’t remember a Thanksgiving growing up in Louisville that we didn’t have corn pudding as part of the abundance of good food. And through the years it’s grown to where I hardly ever make or eat it except at Thanksgiving. Simple as any dish on the table, corn pudding […]

For Pinot Noir Lovers

By Arturo Ciompi | November 11, 2015

I have a very soft spot for the red wines of Dão, this north-central wine region of Portugal. I used to sell inexpensive Dãos in the ’80s and ’90s to an adoring public — once they had tried them! They can still represent remarkable wines of subtlety and profound bouquet. […]
