CALGARYWINTER 2010THESunterra NewsGourmandiseChannel your inner gourmand and appetite for life with luxurious twists on old classics.While the New Year is normally a time of self-restraint, the truth is ourharsh Canadian winter bolsters a need to indulge in comfort food.Brave the elements this winter with friends and family, channelingyour inner gourmand with at-home gourmet comfort foods, madeeasy.Break the fastDo you remember that childhood excitement when your parentsdefaulted to serving pancakes or omelettes for dinner? Breakfastinspireddishes for dinner can be a fun household custom. For agourmet twist on eggs Benedict, use smoked salmon and add freshdill to hollandaise sauce. And although crepes may seem daunting, asmall nonstick pan is all you need. Satiate a sweet tooth with pecans,bananas and maple syrup. Or, satisfy the savoury with spinach,pepper bacon and blue cheese.Fuss free fondueFondue isn’t just a meal; it’s an event — the communal act of sharinga unique food experience. Emmental cheese with Alberta-basedSylvan Star Gruyère melts effortlessly for dipping pears, apples orFrench bread. Bring gourmet ingredients to a simple broth usingshrimp, scallops, portobello mushrooms and pork tenderloin pieces.And, a skewer of strawberries, pineapple and bananas is decadentdipped in chocolate.Quick ideas for the slow cooker (the pot — not the person)The idea of using a “slow cooker” to save time and energy seems abit counterintuitive. But, the beauty of a slow cooker is that it doesthe hard work for you. Let lamb shanks simmer all day, with a littlebit of red wine and rosemary or oregano, and they’ll fall off the bone.Or, turn a classic stew gourmet with Leek and Cabbage Pork Sausagefrom Valbella and sweet potatoes in an amber ale sauce.We hope these ideas for gourmet comfort foods make braving the season a bit more bearable, comforting and enjoyable.SUNTERRA Downtown Markets: Bankers Hall 403.269.3610 • Gulf Canada Square 403.263.9755 • TransCanada Tower 403.262.8240SUNTERRA Market Groceries: Britannia 403.287.0553 • West Market Square 403.266.3049 SUNTERRA CATERING: 403.263.9759
