Sell more steak. Sell more wine.
1 12 oz. bone-in strip loin steak 8142101

There’s a reason steak and wine are such a great match.
They’re both richly sensual and all about pleasure and
satisfaction. And the special synergy they have can translate
to a profit-boosting stategy for you: steak and wine, two of
the highest-value items on your menu, can sell each other.
And the more you know about pairing, the better it works.
Zinfandel Sauce:
Pair complex wines with simple presentations:
12 cups Zinfandel wine
Olive oil 5534151
1-1/2 lb. bacon 5886393
2-1/4 lb. sliced shallots 1821529
Complex wines are ideally paired with foods with robust,
straight-ahead flavors that complement the qualities of the
wine without getting in their way. A well-cooked, minimally
adorned steak is the perfect match for a big Bordeaux or
California Cabernet Sauvignon.
1 bunch thyme sprigs 1680040
Robust seasonings call for robust wines: Assertively
salt 6040760 and pepper 5229356 to taste
seasoned steaks are ideally paired with spicy, big-flavored
wines, like Zinfandel. With Asian seasoning like garlic, ginger
and chiles, try a fruity Gewürztraminer.
Hearty steaks need weightier wines: The weight
or “body” of a wine should match the heartiness of the
preparation. Pair well-marbled steak cuts and substantial
preparations like bone-in chops with dense, concentrated,
full-bodied wines.
Don’t forget rosés: Rosés combine the earthy, red-fruit
character of red wine with the freshness and acidity of
white wine. That combination works well with many steak
preparations. A chilled dry rosé can be a particularly good
match with steaks seasoned with garlic.
2 tbsp. crushed black peppercorns 6638878
6 cups prepared demi-glace 3769353
1/4 cup sugar 5087572
Zinfandel Sauce: In a large nonreactive saucepan, sauté
bacon until it starts to brown. Add sliced shallots; sauté until
shallots are soft and golden. Add Zinfandel wine, thyme sprig
and crushed black peppercorns; simmer until wine is reduced
to a syrup. Add demi-glace and sugar; simmer 5 minutes more.
Strain; season with salt and pepper. (Yield: 6 cups)
The Build: Season strip steak with salt and pepper. Grill to
desired doneness. Cut 3 fresh figs in half; brush with olive oil
and grill until lightly marked. Arrange steak on plate with sides
of corn pudding and sautéed broccolini. Spoon Zinfandel

tomatoes, sliced green onions, chopped
cilantro, chopped green pepper, and
chopped avocado. Toss the mixture with
some lime juice, salt, and pepper. If you
like, you can also add chopped garlic,
sliced black olives, chopped jalapeno
peppers, or anything else! Serve with
tortilla chips, or just give guests a spoon
to dig in!
quick appetizer ideas
Roll ‘Em Ups. Spread a thin layer of your
favorite cream cheese spread on large
flour tortillas (you can use plain, herb,
sun-dried tomato, or spinach-flavored).
Top with thin layers of turkey or roast
beef, thinly sliced tomato, and baby
spinach leaves. Roll the tortilla up very
tightly, similar to a jelly roll. Chill rolls
for about 30 minutes, then cut rolls into
slices, creating small finger sandwiches.
Snazzy Spring Rolls. Soften rice paper
in simmering water, then lay out on a
flat surface. On one side of the paper,
arrange your choice of fillings, such as
cooked shrimp or chicken, shredded
carrots, bean sprouts, cooked rice
noodles, chopped peanuts, sliced sweet
peppers, and mint or cilantro leaves.
Starting on the side with filling, tightly
roll the paper up similar to an egg roll or
burrito. Serve with purchased dipping
sauces, such as peanut sauce or soy
sauce.
A Little Blue. Fill baked miniature
phyllo dough shells with a small dollop
of softened cream cheese. Top with a bit
of crumbled blue cheese and a sprinkle
of snipped tart dried cherries. If you
like, sprinkle with candied pecans or
almonds.

Where’s the Shrimp? Who doesn’t love
shrimp? For a super-easy appetizer,
thaw cooked frozen shrimp (or steam,
saute, or boil your own raw shrimp).
Place bowls of dipping sauces on a
platter (such as tartar, cocktail sauce or
aioli), then surround the bowls with the
cooked shrimp.
A Taste of the Mediterranean.
Purchased hummus and some yummy
crackers or pita chips are an easy way to
either keep hunger at bay until dinner
or to supplement an appetizer spread.
Select a couple of different flavors, such
as roasted red pepper, roasted garlic, or
black olive.
Dip This. Every party needs a dip, but
here’s an option that’s a little bit more
gourmet. Purchase garlic- or basilflavored oil or make your own variations
by stirring herbs, garlic, or grated
Parmesan cheese into olive oil. Pour the
oil into small dipping dishes and serve
with chunks of focaccia or baguette
slices for dipping.
Twisted Salsa. Here’s a fun salsa
variation that’s almost a meal in itself.
Combine drained canned black beans,
thawed frozen corn, chopped roma
Relish the Ease. Prepare a relish tray
like no other! On a platter, artistically
arrange roasted red peppers; green,
black, or specialty stuffed olives; cheese
cubes; sliced meats, such as pastrami,
ham, or salami; marinated artichoke
hearts; smoked sliced salmon lox;
marinated or fresh vegetables; and
pickled peppers. If you like, serve the
relish tray with hard or soft breadsticks.
An Apple a Day. Prepare a platter with
sliced apples, pears, and/or grapes, crisp
bread or crackers, and your choice of
cheese, such as blue or brie.
Antipasto Kabobs. Marinate cooked
cheese-filled tortellini, quartered
artichoke hearts, cherry tomatoes,
black olives, and whole pickled banana
peppers in bottled Italian dressing for 2
to 24 hours. Thread one of each of the
ingredients onto 6-inch skewers, adding
a thin roll of salami.
Roasted Romas. Slice roma tomatoes
lengthwise into thirds (smaller tomatoes
can be cut in half ). Place them in a
single layer on a parchment paperlined baking sheet. Brush the slices
with olive oil and sprinkle with finely
chopped garlic. Bake tomatoes at 400
degrees F. for about 20 to 30 minutes,
checking often so they don’t get dried
out or burnt. Line up cooled tomatoes
on platter and serve with softened brie
cheese and crackers or toasted baguette
slices.
Simply Salmon. With a pastry bag, pipe
flavored cream cheese (such as chive)
on cucumber slices. Top each cucumber
slice with a small piece of purchased
smoked salmon. If desired, garnish with
fresh chopped chives.

wine) is undoubtedly an enduring
classic, today’s fascination with
cocktails has spurred innovation and
experimentation. Champagne with
berries? Great! Mix it with chocolate?
Why not? “Cocktails, like food, should be
a culinary experience,” says Haasarud.
“It is about combining ingredients to
create a sensation on the palate and
entice all the senses with a combination
of flavors, textures, aromas, and
garnishes.”
The popularity of Champagne cocktails
is, well, bubbling over because “one can
have a cocktail made with the sparkling
wine and yet pay less for it than for
a whole glass of straight bubbly.”
Haasarud’s go-to Champagne cocktail is
an Aperol Spritzer, which has about 3/4
of an ounce of Aperol (an Italian aperitif
made with bitter and blood oranges)
topped with a brut Champagne or
Prosecco. “I really love the French 75,
too….”
Read on for Haasarud’s suggestions
for making and serving Champagne
cocktails at your next party, and try five
delicious recipes from her book.

Kim Haasarud bubbles up with sparkling ideas to freshen your flute
– by Joanne Camas
Nothing really says celebration like
hearing that cork pop, seeing the
bubbles flow into a flute, and feeling
those bubbles on the palate,” says
Kim Haasarud, author of numerous
8
books on cocktails—including 101
Champagne Cocktails—and founder

consultancy. But while Champagne

Champagne Tips:
Use Fresh Fruit as an Ingredient
Champagne provides a very versatile
base for showcasing sprightly flavors
like citrus fruits. All types of oranges—
and especially blood oranges—pair
beautifully, as do ripe berries such
as strawberries, blackberries, and
blueberries. A good rule of thumb is to
use about a tablespoon of muddled fruit
in the glass and then pour the bubbly
over it. Stir gently to incorporate.
Pair the Right Foods
Haasarud likes fried foods, such as
wontons or chicken, with Champagne.
“Try having a glass with a basket of
onion rings—the Champagne cuts
right through the fried breading
for a wonderful pairing.” As for hors
d’oeuvres, the author suggests an
artisanal salami and cheese platter;
baked Brie with apples, cranberries, or
figs; or even sushi.
Less-Expensive Bubbly Is Best
for Cocktails
“If I’m going to use some purées, fruits,
or juices,” explains Haasarud, “I suggest
using a more affordable sparkling wine.
If it’s in your budget, you can splurge for
something a little better, so guests have
the option of having a straight glass of
bubbly or a cocktail.”
“If I have an expensive Champagne,
like a vintage Cristal or Dom Pérignon,”
she says, “I just want to barely accent
it, because it’s so good as is. Maybe a
classic Champagne cocktail with a sugar
cube and a splash of bitters.”

orange cranberry
oatmeal cookies
1 cup dried cranberries 7102403
3/4 cup old fashion rolled oats 8563280
1-1/2 tsp. grated orange peel 7412604
About 1/2 cup granulated sugar 4782694
1/2 prepared basic butter cookie dough,
at room temperature (see recipe to
the right)
In a medium bowl, soak cranberries for 15
minutes in warm water. Drain and chop
fine; set aside.
Preheat oven to 350º F.
In a large bowl, beat cranberries, oats and
grated orange peel into basic butter dough
until just combined.
Place 1/2 cup of granulated sugar in small
bowl. Form dough into 1-inch balls and
roll in sugar to coat. Arrange balls 2 inches
apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Flatten
each ball with drinking glass with bottom
wrapped in wax paper to prevent sticking.
Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly golden.

1 lb. salted butter, softened 5925987
1-1/3 cups granulated sugar 4782694
3 large egg yolks 1462100
2 tsp. vanilla extract 5239371
4-2/3 cups all-purpose flour 8378111

Crust
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, at room temp. 2602126
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar 1854694
1 large egg yolk 1462100
1 tsp. vanilla extract 5230040
1/4 tsp. salt 6040760
2 cups all-purpose flour 8378345
Topping
7 to 8 ounces milk chocolate, broken into pieces, or 1-1/2 cups
milk chocolate chips 7996051
1 cup chopped almonds, toasted 5009059
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 9-by-13-inch baking pan with
parchment paper.
Prepare the crust. In a large bowl, with an electric mixer, beat
together the butter and sugar on medium speed until light,
about 2 minutes. Beat in the egg yolk, vanilla, and salt. On low
speed, gradually beat in the flour just until mixed. The dough
will be stiff. Pat the dough evenly over bottom of baking pan.
Bake in the center of the oven until pale gold on top, about 20
minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and scatter the chocolate pieces
evenly over the crust. Return the pan to the oven for 1 minute.
Remove the pan again and, using a knife, spread the chocolate
evenly over the crust. Sprinkle evenly with the almonds.
Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Using a sharp knife,
cut into small squares, then carefully remove from the pan with a
small offset spatula or an icing spatula.
3/4 cup sugar 5087572
1 tsp. almond extract 9276874
2 cups all purpose flour 8378345
1/4 tsp. salt 6040760
1/4 cup (packed) almond paste, crumbled 5630700
1/2 cup sliced almonds, divided 5009059
Preheat oven to 325°F. Butter 9x9x2-inch metal baking pan; line
bottom and sides of pan with parchment paper, extending over
sides. Butter parchment. Mix preserves and orange liqueur in small
bowl; set aside.
Using electric mixer, beat 1 cup butter and sugar in large bowl until
well blended. Beat in almond extract. Add flour and salt; beat just
until blended. Transfer 1 cup of dough to another small bowl; add
crumbled almond paste and mix with fingertips until small clumps
form. Mix in 1/4 cup sliced almonds; set aside for topping.

1 cup apricot preserves 4186425
3 tbsp. orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier)
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temp. 2602126
14
Press remaining dough evenly onto bottom of prepared pan.
Spread preserves mixture evenly over. Using fingertips, coarsely
crumble topping over preserves, then sprinkle 1/4 cup almonds
over. Press topping lightly into preserves.
Bake shortbread until top and crust edges are golden brown, about
1 hour. Cool completely in pan on rack. Using parchment paper as
aid, lift shortbread from pan. Cut shortbread into 4 equal strips, then
cut each strip crosswise into 8 small bar cookies.
chocolate hazelnut
crinkle cookies
2/3 cup hazelnuts 5053137
2 tbsp. granulated sugar 5087572
6 oz. fine-quality bittersweet chocolate
(no more than 60% cacao if marked),
finely chopped 4015137
2-3/4 cups all-purpose flour 8378345
2 tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
4324232
2 tsp. baking powder 5517701
3/4 tsp. salt 6040760
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
2602126
1-1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1854694
2 large eggs 2105823
1/4 cup whole milk 2577179
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5230040
3/4 cup confectioners sugar 5825672
Put oven rack in middle position and
preheat oven to 350°F.
Toast hazelnuts in a shallow baking pan
in oven until skins split and nuts are pale
golden, about 10 minutes. Remove from
oven, then wrap hazelnuts in a kitchen
towel and rub to remove any loose skins.
Cool nuts completely. Pulse nuts with
granulated sugar in a food processor until
finely chopped.
Melt chocolate in a metal bowl set over
a saucepan of barely simmering water
or in top of a double boiler, stirring until
smooth. Remove bowl from heat and set
aside.
Whisk together flour, cocoa powder,
baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
Beat together butter and brown sugar
in another bowl with an electric mixer at
medium-high speed until creamy, about 3
minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating
well after each addition, then beat in
melted chocolate until combined. Add
milk and vanilla, beating to incorporate.
Reduce speed to low and add flour
mixture, mixing until just combined. Stir
in nut mixture. Cover bowl with plastic
wrap and chill dough until firm, 2 to 3
hours.
Form and bake cookies:
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 large baking
sheets with parchment paper.
Sift confectioners sugar into a bowl. Halve
dough and chill 1 half, wrapped in plastic
wrap. Roll remaining half into 1-inch balls,
placing them on a sheet of wax paper
as rolled. Roll balls, 3 or 4 at a time, in
confectioners sugar to coat generously
and arrange 2 inches apart on lined
baking sheets.
Bake, switching position of sheets halfway
through baking, until cookies are puffed
and cracked and edges feel dry (but
centers are still slightly soft), 12 to 18
minutes total. Transfer cookies (still on
parchment) to racks to cool completely.
While first batch is baking, roll remaining
dough into balls. Line cooled cookie
sheets with fresh parchment, then coat
balls with confectioners sugar and bake in
same manner.
