Wall Street was his Candy Land, his ticket to freedom ...

Hennessy Cognac
Cyrille Gautier-Auriol swirls his tulip-shaped glass, tossing the amber cognac it holds round its bulbous surface, releasing the bouquet into the air. He examines the spirit before raising the glass to his nose, sniffing first with his left nostril, then his right — “with a little bit of distance,” he explains in his dignified French cadence. Br...

1. Beer-Battered Sole Tacos Lee Kelly: Pusateri’s executive chef Tony Cammalleri’s version calls for beer-battered sole with Mexican spices.

Carl Heinrich
What could be more fitting than meeting the winner of Top Chef Canada at a farmer’s market? Carl Heinrich arrives riding a bicycle —“It’s the only way to get around the city,” he says — and is almost instantly recognized by a pedestrian. “My wife loves you,” says the onlooker. On that scorching June afternoon in downtown Toronto, everyone’s atte...

So Far, So Good
Since I spend a good deal of my time travelling and cooking, I’m not too pressured to hunt for new ideas or dishes – I usually find them in the local ingredients of the countries that I visit, or through the chefs who are sharing the kitchen with me. This spring, while I was in Singapore, I had an opportunity to exchange recipes and cooking ...
