05/09 CHEF BRENDAN COLLINS, COOKING, BLOKES + ARTICHOKES: A MODERN MAN'S KITCHEN HANDBOOK, BIRCH IN HOLLYWOOD, NICOLE YOUNG

CHEF BRENDAN COLLINS RELEASES HIS FIRST COOKBOOK -  COOKING, BLOKES + ARTICHOKES: A MODERN MAN'S KITCHEN HANDBOOK 

THE DEBUT COOKBOOK FROM CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED CHEF BRENDAN COLLINS WITH 100 RECIPES TO IMPRESS YOUR MATES

Are you looking for tasty, no bullshit food? You've come to the right place. Cooking, Blokes & Artichokes is for every bloke searching for inspiration and a solid guide to good cooking. Brendan's 100 straightforward recipes can help any modern man broaden his kitchen skills―from making proper vinaigrette to the foolproof technique for braising meat. Brendan covers everything, from super simple side dishes, such as Roasted Winter Vegetables and Burrata Salad, to game day nibbles such as Spiced Lamb Shanks, Homemade Pita Breads, and Spiced Yogurt Dip, and ending with desserts; the book wouldn't be complete without his famous Sticky Toffee Pudding.

Sometimes it's about a quick meal thrown together on the fly―mushrooms on toast, or a lamb burger charred up nicely on the grill―but when you have some time to tinker, Brendan will show you how to roast a pig's head to glistening, golden perfection, cure your own duck prosciutto, and put up jars of silky, savory caramelized onion compote for a crazy flavor boost. Over time, you'll grow into a solid, intuitive cook―just wait and see. So go ahead; roll up your sleeves and get cooking.

ABOUT BRENDAN COLLINS
Brendan Collins Born and raised in Nottingham, England, chef Brendan Collins began his career behind the stoves more than 20 years ago in some of the most disciplined and avant-garde kitchens in London. For more than a dozen of those years, he has lived in Los Angeles and now proudly considers the sprawling metropolis his home, where he has become known for his refined and modern approach to food, as well his passion for whole animal butchery and seasonal cooking. All of this has led him to the opening of Birch, a new restaurant unexpectedly located in the burgeoning neighborhood of the Cahuenga Corridor in Hollywood. Named one of LA Magazine's Best New Restaurants, 2015, Birch is Collins’ flagship featuring elevated seasonal standards tempered with a straightforward sensibility and relaxed atmosphere.

Brendan Collins knew very early on that he wanted to be a chef. He dropped out of secondary school to enroll in culinary school and proceeded to build an ambitious resume. His first job, at the age of 17, was at Michelin two-starred La Gavroche in London. He continued to hone his skills at several restaurants considered to be some of London’s finest gastronomic temples, including The Café Royal, The Heights and Pied à Terre.

Collins’ first executive chef position was at The Calls Grill in Leeds, which would earn the prestigious Michelin Bib Gourmand in 1999. He subsequently returned to London to sharpen his knives at the Oxo Tower and then became a sous chef under Marco Pierre White at Quo Vadis. During his tenure there, he was part of the team to garner a Michelin star and was quickly recognized as rising star in London’s culinary scene.

In 2002 Collins crossed the pond to work with revered chef Josiah Citrin at Melisse in Santa Monica as chef de cuisine. During his four years with Citrin, Melisse consistently earned a Mobil Four Star rating and became one of California’s first Michelin two-star rated restaurants. He then struck out on his own opening Mesa in Orange County to much acclaim. However he would find himself back in Santa Monica to open Anisette with chef Alain Giraud. Later he would be lured to become executive chef of The Hall at Palihouse in West Hollywood.

Most recently, Collins was the executive chef and co-proprietor of the former Waterloo & City alongside respected front of house conductor Carolos Tomazos (of Per Se and LeBernardin in New York). The elevated English gastropub opened in 2010 and became an instant success in its non-descript corner of Culver City, earning a loyal following and critical success. Although now closing its residence on Washington Blvd., Waterloo & City may find a new home sometime in the near future. In 2011, Collins and Tomazos also partnered with Hotel Erwin on the Venice Beach Boardwalk to open the ever-popular Larry’s, a casual neighborhood eatery named after iconic local artist, Larry Bell.

This spring, Collins will release his first cookbook, Cooking, Blokes + Artichokes: A Modern Man's Kitchen Handbook.

OUR STORY
St. Supéry Estate Vineyards & Winery is the largest family owned, sustainably farmed and estate produced winery in Napa Valley. Our land and our winery are certified Napa Green.

HISTORY
The Skalli Family, founders of St. Supéry Estate, first began making wine in 1920. Beginning in the 1970's, Robert Skalli spent eight years searching for the perfect location to expand his family's business to Napa Valley. Robert selected a relatively unknown area high in the northeastern mountains of the newly established Napa Valley appellation to plant his dream. Thirty three years later, the world-class vineyard estates in Napa Valley were sold to Chanel. Inc.

Chanel has always been interested in high potential and long term projects. St. Supéry corresponds to this philosophy. At St. Supéry we have a long term commitment to the vineyards and winery and are personally invested in acting as stewards of the land, preserving the properties for future generations. Our Napa Green Certifications for the winery and vineyards are evidence of this commitment. This approach and long term investment in Estate properties also gives us the ability to maintain consistency in grape and wine quality over time.

ABOUT EMMA SWAIN:
Emma Swain is the CEO of St Supéry Estate Vineyards & Winery. She received her Bachelor of Science in Agriculture and Managerial Economics from the University of California, Davis and is a Certified Public Accountant. Emma has worked in the wine industry for more than 20 years. She began her career with Niebaum-Coppola Winery and served as the Chief Operating Officer at Sebastiani Vineyards prior to joining St. Supéry Estate. Emma currently serves as a board member for the Napa Valley Vintners, as well as serving on multiple sub-committees. Emma also volunteers locally with a number of environmental, educational and health-based charities. She is an avid runner and has several half marathons under her belt of accomplishments.

ANGELO'S AND VINCI'S NAMED  BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT IN ORANGE COUNTY 2016!  "O C Hotlist, Top 5 Italian Restaurants"  by CityVoter.com!

OUR HISTORY
Forty-three years ago, our restaurant was built with tradition and has since continued with tradition. At our home in the old marketplace, we tribute our ancestors who came to America in the late 1800’s – their spirit and their recipes!

A little about this old building…
Originally built as an L-shaped marketplace in the days when Fullerton was an orchard (early 1900’s), the local farmers would bring their produce in from the fields by horse and wagon to sell to the townspeople. The original wood trusses of the old roof system may still be seen in the Venetian Room. Approximately twenty years later, renovation of the building changed it from its original L-shape to a square. This was accomplished by the large wood barrel trusses (an unusual truss!), which can be seen in the Sicilian Room and the Piazza Fantasia. During our renovation in 1992, the old wood, terra cotta tiles and brick was salvaged and re-used to keep alive the feeling and memories of those days long ago.

About our décor…
Be prepared when you walk into Angelo’s and Vinci’s Ristorante to be overwhelmed! With surprises in every corner, you won’t know where to look first! You will sit amidst the art of the great masters, in an Italian town square complete with the storefronts of old Italian butcher and cheese mongers, fruit and wine vendors, seamstresses showing their wares, and more. Fairy lights abound under cathedral ceilings as our ancestors smile down at you from the Family Love Altar. Explore and you will be surrounded by colorful Sicilian puppets, the carnival masks and canals of Venice, and the romance of Romeo & Juliet. Find our mystical Room of the Moon…and don’t forget King Kong, Dracula, Frankenstein, witches, ghosts and who-knows-what that await you in the Monster Wine Cellar!

And, as for Hollywood…
Founder, Steven Peck, renowned Hollywood dancer, choreographer and veteran actor of over 100 movies and television performances, has delightful photographs of over 40 years of famous stars, directors and dancers. Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Gary Cooper, Robert Taylor, Broderick Crawford, Kirk Douglas, Walter Winchell, Sam Wanamaker, Vincent Minnelli, Sylvester Stallone, Ted Danson, David Hasselhof, Ray Sharkey, Shirley MacLaine, Cyd Charisse, Dolly Parton, Joan Collins, Raquel Welch, Olympia Dukakis, Shelly Winters and so many more. Films from Paramount, Twentieth Century Fox, Warner Bros., MGM, Desilu, United Artists, Universal Studios, to name a few.
Ask for a “Walking Tour” brochure to find out more about the meaning and dedications behind our décor!

BANQUET & PARTIES
Established in 1971, Angelo’s and Vinci’s Ristorante is a family-run establishment with a festive, theatrical, highly decorative Italian atmosphere that makes any event a celebration!

From a small, intimate rehearsal dinner or bridal shower, to a wedding reception for 650, Angelo’s and Vinci’s can fill just about any wedding need. With a professional staff of wedding coordinators, bartenders, disc jockeys and master of ceremonies, you will both be treated as guests at your own wedding reception!
Planning a birthday party, anniversary dinner, graduation celebration, business meeting? Angelo’s and Vinci’s has a variety of packages and options to suit most any budget!

For an estimate for your event, please call our Banquet Sales office Monday through Friday, 11:00am to 7:00pm.

Trader Joe's And Costco Just Recalled Frozen Veggies In ALL 50 States

If you love frequenting Costco and Trader Joe's, brace yourselves for some pretty scary news. The US Food and Drug Administration announced CRF Frozen Foods, supplier to both Costco and Trader Joe's, has issued a voluntary recall of all frozen fruits and vegetables. The items were all potentially contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes. These organisms can cause fatal infections in young children, the elderly and pretty much anyone with a weak immune system. It also can cause high fevers, headaches, nausea, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Pretty much everything produced at CRF since May 2014 is getting the recall involving more than 350 brands in all 50 states. Among the affected foods are mixed veggies, berries, corn and stir fry. According to the FDA, seven people in the US were hospitalized. While two died, the Listeria wasn't the cause of death for either of them. You can find the entire list of frozen food products, which the FDA continues to update, on their website.

ACTOR GARY COLE – TALKS ABOUT HIS ROLE IN DIVINE ACCESS THAT HITS THEATERS MAY 13TH, AND VIDEO ON DEMAND& ALL DIGITAL PLATFORMS MAY 17TH

You know Gary Cole from his many roles in TV and film, including his Emmy nominated performance in Veep, roles in Entourage, West Wing, Pineapple Express, Talladega Nights, The Office and much more.  He is talking about his new movie, “a sharp and funny satire,” DIVINE ACCESS, a darling of the film festivals and called “a quiet gem.” Starring with Billy Burke, Patrick Warburton and Sarah Shahi, Cole plays Reverend Guy Roy Davis.  The film will be in select theatres on May 13, and available everywhere by Video on Demand on May 17.

ABOUT THE MOVIE:
DIVINE ACCESS is equal parts comedy and drama.  Set in the south, it’s a road movie, a buddy picture and an often sweet, thought-provoking story of redemption.

Jack Harriman (Billy Burke) has seen it all.  Keenly aware of Jack’s penchant for discrediting religious zealots, Jack is asked to join a cable access television show produced by his friend Bob McCord (Patrick Warburton).   After humiliating the current host of the show, the Reverend Guy Roy Davis (Gary Cole), Jack’s popularity turns him into a spiritual celebrity and he takes to the road on a multi-city speaking tour accompanied by Nigel a self-proclaimed “catcher” (Joel David Moore).   Along the way Jack and Nigel are joined by Amber (Dora Madison), a down on her luck call-girl, and Marian (Sarah Shahi), an enigmatic beauty who challenges Jack’s beliefs and questions whether he has some deeper calling.

Forces both natural and supernatural lead Jack on a journey to discover his own spiritual truth, culminating in a final showdown with Guy Roy.  Ultimately, DIVINE ACCESS is a story of family, friendship and faith.

Steve is a huge sports fan (his hometown Chicago teams) and avid golfer and can often be found riding his Harley Davidson motorcycle in Connecticut, where he lives with wife Rachelle (executive producer of The Steve Wilkos Show) and two kids. Talk to Steve about his unique progression from military man and police officer to talk show host, and the hot topics his show is tackling this season.

MORE ABOUT STEVE:
Steve Wilkos is the host of “The Steve Wilkos Show,” a nationally syndicated series produced by NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution.  The show is now in its ninth season.  Since its debut, Wilkos’ popularity has skyrocketed—the show has grown 56% in households over its premiere season.  His straightforward approach combined with his sincerity and humor has earned viewers’ trust and respect.

Before beginning a career in entertainment, Wilkos served in the U.S. Marine Corps for seven years.  When he returned from service, he went back to his hometown of Chicago and joined the Chicago Police Department, following in his father’s footsteps.  During that time, he took great pride in keeping the streets of the notoriously volatile Shakespeare District safe for almost 12 years.  Wilkos retired from the police force in 2001.

Late in his law enforcement career, the 6’3” Wilkos began moonlighting, as a security guard on “The Jerry Springer Show.”  By the time he started hosting his own show, Wilkos had guest-hosted more than 50 episodes of “The Jerry Springer Show.”

His no-nonsense style, informed by his law enforcement background, was different from Springer’s and allowed Wilkos to create his own identity as a tough-talking host.  His popularity grew with viewers and as a result, in 2007, he began hosting his own show.

For the 2013-14 season, “The Steve Wilkos Show” is averaging over 1.9 million daily viewers with nearly 50% of his audience deriving from the advertiser friendly Adults 25-54 demographic.  The show has grown steadily for most of its seven seasons, with this current season delivering a +48% increase in viewership vs. its premiere season back in 2007-08.  It also continues to deliver strong results for local stations and is #1 in its time period among Women 18-49 and Adults 18-49 demographics in New York at 12:00 p.m. on WPIX, and in Los Angeles at 2:00 p.m. on KTLA, during the November 2013 sweeps period.

Wilkos’ show has earned him three Prism Award nominations for raising awareness about substance abuse and other social issues.  He served as the host of the Daytime Entertainment Creative Arts Emmy® Awards in 2011 and appeared briefly in a cameo role on a Halloween episode of “The Simpsons,” a milestone he calls “the highlight of my career.”  Wilkos also appeared in several TV shows and films, most notably the hit motion picture “Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me.”

A huge sports fan and avid golfer, he attends as many professional sporting events as his schedule allows, especially baseball, basketball and football games.  In his downtime, he can also be found riding his Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

Wilkos and his wife Rachelle, who is the executive producer of “The Steve Wilkos Show” and “The Jerry Springer Show,” have two children and live in Connecticut.

ABOUT MATTHEW:
Matthew Loso first got the wine bug as a server, when an unexpected personnel change caused the Maître d’Hotel at a high-end restaurant in Seattle to suddenly proclaim him the “wine captain”. That was 1988, and he was a senior at Liberty High School in Issaquah, WA. By 1990 his focus had changed from serving wine to making wine. His first crush was at (long-gone) French Creek Cellars in Woodinville, where he spent 2 vintages, before going on to work under David Lake, MW at Columbia Winery. He went on from there to continue his craft at McCrea Cellars, one of Washington early Rhone specialists.

In 1993, Matthew launched Matthews Cellars (later Matthews Estate) with 75 cases of Red Table Wine, and a star was born. He remained at his namesake winery until 2008, when he sold his share of Matthews Estate to concentrate on his consulting business, which was booming along with the explosive growth of the Washington wine industry. Matthew has been making Barons wines from the very beginning, and brings a wealth of knowledge unparalleled in the Pacific Northwest, on both the technical and practical sides.

As one of Washington’s pioneer winemakers, he has mentored many winemakers who have gone on to fame and fortune, and is regularly consulted by other winemakers all across the region and beyond for his broad understanding of viticulture and viniculture. His wines (both at Barons and elsewhere) have received critical acclaim, more 90+ point ratings than can be counted, and most importantly, have stood the test of time. He believes that vineyard practices are just as important to the finished wine as what goes on at the winery, and spends untold hours in the vineyards each growing season.

Believing that in order to make world-class wine you have to know what it tastes like, Matthew has made a point of tasting the world’s greatest wines. An ardent collector, he has traveled extensively throughout the world’s classic wine regions, learning something from each area as he went along.

04/27 LARRY LIPSON, AFFORDABLE WINE EXPERT, DR. JEREMY LIEB AND AL PIAZZA

LARRY LIPSON – AFFORDABLE WINE REPORT
For fifty years Larry Lipson was the food critic for the Los Angeles Daily News and now reports from Florida weekly with his thoughts and favorite picks for Food & Wine.  His lovely Wife Lillian is also on hand at the Lipson Institute for advanced wine studies.


DR. JEREMY LIEB AND AL PIAZZA - HOW TO SPARE MORE CANCER PATIENTS FROM UNNECESSARY TREATMENTS? 

ADVANCED GENETIC TEST PROMPTS CHANGE IN PROSTATE CANCER TREATMENT

Every 20 minutes another man will die from prostate cancer.  For these patients with aggressive disease, surgery and/or radiation treatment is appropriate and may be life-saving.  At the same time 40-50% of patients have a lower-risk prostate cancer and many are eligible for active surveillance.   These patients may opt to avoid or delay surgery and radiation and the side effects associated with these treatments such as urinary incontinence and sexual impotence.

According to the National Institutes of Health, 9 out of 10 prostate cancer patients who are candidates for active surveillance will instead receive more aggressive, radical treatment. The question all patients need answered is: What is my risk of dying from prostate cancer? The current trend in medicine is to reduce the rate of overtreatment for patients with low-risk prostate cancer by shifting more patients to active surveillance.

A recently published clinical utility study, PROCEDE 500, showed that:
  • Physicians changed their treatment plans for 65 percent of men with prostate cancer after receiving the Prolaris genetic test report.
  • Approximately 25 percent of patients had an increase in treatment based on a high test score, which indicates aggressive disease.
  • Approximately 40 percent of patients had a reduction in treatment based on a low test score, which indicates non-aggressive disease.
A genetic test called Prolaris® is the only clinically-proven prognostic test that tells patients if they have aggressive or non-aggressive prostate cancer and answers the important question of what is a patient’s personal risk is of dying from the disease within 10-years of diagnosis.  Armed with this personalized risk assessment, physicians can tailor their treatment plans to individual patients.

Jeremy Lieb, M.D., is a physician and board-certified urologist from California who is a member of a leading community-based urology practice.    He is an expert on prostate cancer diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, including the uses and benefits of genetic testing for clinical decision making.

Al Piazza, 73, a retired phone company manager from California, lives with prostate cancer. He decided against prostate surgery and opted for active surveillance based on Dr. Lieb’s advice and results from the Prolaris test that showed he has a less-aggressive form of the cancer. Al can speak to the many decisions a prostate cancer patient faces and how genetic testing gave him the peace of mind he needed.

Prolaris is a novel 46-gene RNA-expression test that directly measures tumor cell growth characteristics for stratifying the risk of disease progression in prostate cancer patients. Prolaris provides a quantitative measure of the RNA expression levels of genes involved in the progression of tumor growth.
