Pomo d’Oro risotto, provolone cheese and black cardamom
For the yellow tomato sauce:
3 cups organic yellow tomato purée
1/8 cup chopped onion
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
Chop onion and sauté in a pan with olive oil without letting it turn brown; add the yellow tomato purée. Add salt to taste and slowly cook the purée until it becomes a concentrated, dense sauce and all of the water evaporated.
For the risotto:
2 cups carnaroli rice
1 shallot, chopped
1/3 cup white wine
8 cups vegetable stock
½ cup shredded spicy provolone cheese
4 tablespoons butter
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
Sauté shallot in a pan with half of the butter and a splash of extra-virgin olive oil. Once softened, add the rice and stir constantly for a few minutes. Add the white wine. Add some salt and continue to let it cook, adding vegetable stock a little bit at a time. When the rice is almost finished cooking, add the heated yellow tomato sauce and take off the stove for 2 minutes. Place back on gentle heat, adding in the other half of the butter and the spicy provolone cheese, blending it until creamy.
For the oregano-flavored yellow tomatoes:
1½ cups yellow tomatoes
½ teaspoon fresh oregano
Extra-virgin olive oil
Salt
Cut the tomatoes in half, season with salt and cover them with extra-virgin olive oil and oregano in a pan. Sauté for a few minutes until heated through. Let them cool. Once cooled, drain and re-heat them slight just before serving with the risotto.
For the black cardamom powder:
½ teaspoon black cardamom
Extract the seeds from inside the cardamom pod and grind them in a spice or coffee grinder.
For the garnish:
¼ cup shredded spicy provolone cheese
½ teaspoon gold flakes (optional)
PRESENTATION: Place risotto on the plate, covering the plate entirely. Cover with the shredded provolone cheese, which will slightly melt with the heat of the rice. Gently place the tomato halves and dust with black cardamom powder and gold flakes.

Feb 26, 2024Fukui: A Culture Hub in Rural Japan Worth the Detour
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.
