I love to cook, and I am always trying new recipes. So much so that when my family asks, “What’s for dinner?” my reply is often, “Something we’ve never had before!” So when the Savory World of Seneca event comes around every year, I jump at the chance to experience new foods. The event, which spans three days, is held at wineries on Seneca Lake, New York. Each member winery features a delicacy from their chosen country, paired with some of their wine.
Here’s a sampling of some of my favorites:
Lakewood Vineyards served a spicy mesir we’t from Ethiopia with Injera bread paired with an interesting wine, Seifus Tej dry mead. Fruit Yard Winery’s soul-warming vegetable barley soup from Ireland was nice on a cold winter day. Glenora Wine Cellars made spanakopita, a Greek spinach pie made with feta cheese and phyllo dough. Rock Stream Vineyards served lappenpickert, a potato cake from Germany topped with sour cream.
Castel Grisch Winery’s easy baked veggie egg rolls from China inspired me to run out and buy egg roll wrappers to make my own egg rolls sometime in the near future. Catharine Valley Winery’s Swedish meatballs paired nicely with a Konig Estate Reisling. J.R. Dill Winery’s Korean gochujang pork from South Korea is made with its own Jabber Waulkie Red or Cabernet Sauvignon.
I always welcome a sweet treat, so Leidenfrost Vineyards’ French toast with caramelized bananas from France was a nice change. Bagley’s Poplar Ridge Vineyards’ Danish dream cake, drømmekage, is a delightful sponge cake with a caramelized coconut topping. Fulkerson Winery’s dessert, chocolate crackles, is an Australian chocolate treat made with crispy rice cereal, cocoa powder and coconut.
They always provide a PDF of the wineries’ recipes, so if anyone feels inspired to try these at home, they can download the recipe book here: https://senecalakewine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/Recipes_2019_Savory_b.pdf

After a stressful pre-holiday season and a busy work schedule, there was no better time for a relaxing spa experience than during my recent trip to Pasadena with the FXExpress Publications, Inc. team. We headed to The Langham Huntington, Pasadena for the 20th anniversary of the GT Tested Reader Survey awards, which meant a jam-packed trip, but I managed to carve a little time out of our busy schedule to visit Chuan Spa at the hotel.

In many cases, less can be more in terms of what smaller cities and small-scale museums have to offer. This is true for Fukui Prefecture, located on the west coast of the main island and best known for its coastline, terrain and quiet towns. While major cities are awash with large-scale museums, bucolic Fukui Prefecture is worth a visit for its assemblage of institutions offering a deeper dive into Japanese life, history and culture.

Come Face-to-Face with Mountain Gorillas on a Trek in Uganda
Not a word was spoken as I settled into a cozy spot on the outdoor terrace just outside the main lodge at Volcanoes Bwindi Lodge in Uganda. The air was so still the ice in my single malt seemed to echo off the forest in the distance as it clanked against the glass. I sat among a handful of fellow adventurers, each sitting silently beneath the night sky for one collective goal. Moments earlier, we learned a troop of mountain gorillas had made their way down the mountain near our lodge, and we left our meals to instead sit in eager anticipation of hearing the guttural grunts of the primates below. The chills on my arms never left me that night, even as I made my way up a stone pathway to my personal banda (guestroom). Thankfully, sleep came quickly for me that night as I drifted into dreams of what my next day would bring.
