Snowed in, Tuscan Style
On a Friday afternoon last month, as a winter storm closed in on my mountain town, I made a few last-minute stops to stock up on provisions for what promised to be a snowed-in weekend. The final stop on my checklist was my local butcher, to pick up a cut of pork I’d never considered preparing before Chez Panisse chef Gary Podesto created a recipe he called “Coppa à la Matignon” for our Adventures Club last winter…

A Perfect Day in Northern Burgundy
On a bluebird Saturday morning in May of 2023, I awoke in the village of Chablis. Peering out my hotel window, I could just distinguish the small moving shapes of workers among the hillsides of leafy vines. It was day one of my first-ever KLWM work trip, and the next two weeks would bring me and my colleagues through seven regions and two countries, driving more than a thousand miles and visiting three dozen producers along the way. On this particular day, we were focused on a relatively small slice of the map: Northern Burgundy...
