Chefs are warming up: Their faves for cold-weather meals

 

By BETH D’ADDONO, Philadelphia Daily News

 

WHAT EXACTLY does winter taste like? When some of the region’s most creative chefs contemplated that question, their answers ran the gamut from slow-braised short ribs and vegetarian chili to old-fashioned favorites like shepherd’s pie. But everybody agreed on one thing: Winter food is comforting, it’s strictly seasonal and in some way or another, it reminds you of home. Read the full article.

…Although he was born in the heat of Tangiers, Morocco, Abde Dahrouch grew up in Gascony, France, where he got his first taste for seasonal ingredients. Dahrouch, chef/partner at the Pond Restaurant & Bistro Cassis, in Radnor, mines both sides of his heritage at Pond, where he features dishes like butternut squash bisque with duck confit, and Moroccan spiced chicken breast with saffron couscous. He favors grilled, braised and roasted meats when the temperatures dive.
