Rozanne's Low-Carb Recipes
This week’s guest to the Food Maven’s kitchen (that would be me) was my friend Rozanne Gold. While I am still working out this cooking-with-someone-while-I-am-on-the-air-answering-questions type program (every Tuesday on WWRL, 1600 AM, at 11 a.m., rebroadcast at 11 p.m., brought to you by Invite Health), I have been asking only my friends. Last week was Carole Berman, the Wine Chick, whose sophisticated tuna melt is already here in the diary, and next week Italian cooking expert Michelle Scicolone. I am certain to venture into the realm of colleagues and chefs, not only my nearest and dearest, in due time.

Wine Chick's Tuna Melt
Carol Berman, the Wine Chick, was on my new WWRL (1600 AM) program yesterday. She brought me a bottle of Librandi Ciró, which was our first Wine Buy from the old days at that station at the other end of the dial. And she made me lunch. By the way, Carol is still available to conduct private wine events. Just call her at (973) 324-0989.

Two great restaurants
When it comes to food, I hate the concept of “best.” I understand best in sports and gaming, where someone wins a competition. But the arts are not about competition, and cuisine is not about competition. Even restaurants are not about competition. They are about pleasure, enjoyment, relaxation, and at their best they reveal things about life and nature and culture. (Naturally, they are about business, too.)
