"I have traveled to all seven continents
and eaten in a lot of Chinese restaurants,
and I can honestly say that Chef Johnny
Tam from Taste of China (formally Middle
Kingdom in Ann Arbor) prepares the best
food I have ever had! We are so lucky to
get him and his new restaurant here in
our community!"

etables, a one-dish meal perfect for a
cozy weekend.
All you need with a meal
like this is a salad — a fresh,
healthy first course with the
bright additions of grapefruit
and avocado.
Ending the meal is a
European-style cake — sweet
and full of almonds instead
of flour. This is a sophisti-
cated, yet rustic sweet that is
cut into wedges and dusted
with powdered sugar. Perfect
with a steamy cup of coffee or
espresso.

food!

T
hanksgiving is over;
Chanukah is over, but the
holiday sea-
son is in full swing.
However, before we
get super-festive with
party food, let's think
"comfort" with this
week's menu. As a
bonus, this entire
meal is gluten-free

you).
The jewel in the
crown of this easy-to-
prepare menu (though
there is a bit of knife-work involved)
is a hearty braised beef with veg-
