Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Refined has come to mean simplified

Wersquore eating cleaner and living more efficiently

That purificationrsquos led to a reawakening of the senses

Indulgence now is biting into a lush tomato just

plucked from our backyard gardens Itrsquos dozing on

cool organic cotton sheets as a gentle breeze pushes

through an open window And in rediscovering these

nuances our worlds are drawing closer Saturday-

morning errand runs lead us more and more to

outdoor artisan markets instead of strip malls Dinner

parties are inspired by the farm-to-table meals wersquore

being served at the ambitious but humble BYOBs

that are spreading throughout our neighborhoods

Intricate identities are being forged a few blocks

at a time all along the Main Line and the Delaware

through Bucks County and Central New Jersey

Home + Table is your field guide to these fashionable

new communities In print in-depth features and

honest photography will expose the character behind

the catalysts of this movement Online wersquoll deliver

the latest lifestyle trends and events with a hyperlocal

sensitivity to ensure that yoursquoll know where to find your

next favorite bite and kitchen-makeover inspiration

The new face of our region deserves an embedded

thoughtful magazine to illustrate its maturation

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

a floured surface Drape it across the pan trim off any

excess and seal the edges with the beaten egg Cut a

hole in the center of the lid to allow steam to escape

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

late juicy black cherries and sugary-sweet plums and a bit dried sage and thyme itrsquos the perfect

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

plucked from our backyard gardens Itrsquos dozing on

cool organic cotton sheets as a gentle breeze pushes

through an open window And in rediscovering these

nuances our worlds are drawing closer Saturday-

morning errand runs lead us more and more to

outdoor artisan markets instead of strip malls Dinner

parties are inspired by the farm-to-table meals wersquore

being served at the ambitious but humble BYOBs

that are spreading throughout our neighborhoods

Intricate identities are being forged a few blocks

at a time all along the Main Line and the Delaware

through Bucks County and Central New Jersey

Home + Table is your field guide to these fashionable

new communities In print in-depth features and

honest photography will expose the character behind

the catalysts of this movement Online wersquoll deliver

the latest lifestyle trends and events with a hyperlocal

sensitivity to ensure that yoursquoll know where to find your

next favorite bite and kitchen-makeover inspiration

The new face of our region deserves an embedded

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

You have to really love nature to see the beauty in it right now Hillary OrsquoCarroll does and can But then

she seems to find allure in all kinds of unlikely places stuffy estate sales backcountry flea markets under

dusty sheets in attics and barns If you donrsquot know her Chestnut Hill home goods shop Isabella Sparrow

standard-bearer of farmhouse chic around here But its wares donrsquot simply fit the fashion they fill a function

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

With their backs against a brick wall literally the Kondras

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

late juicy black cherries and sugary-sweet plums and a bit dried sage and thyme itrsquos the perfect

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

By Scott Edwards middot Photography by Brandon Wyche

With their backs against a brick wall literally the Kondras

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

By Scott Edwards middot Photography by Brandon Wyche

With their backs against a brick wall literally the Kondras

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

Barronrsquos Top 1000 Financial Advisors as listed in the February 18th 2013 edition ldquoSecurities offered through WFG Investments Inc member FINRA amp SIPC Investment advisory services offered through Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP are unaffiliated firmsrdquo

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thanks to our media sponsors Bucks County Womens Journal Bucks County Herald BucksCountyAlivecom Bucks County Magazine BucksCountyTastecom Bucks Life Magazine BuxMont Media

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Thank you for the river of support thatrsquos been flowing our way since the premiere issue dropped in December As a small independent publisher launching a new magazine is about as big as it gets And scary We believe in its purpose have so many different parts of ourselves tied up in it and know that it can grow strong as long as itrsquos embraced But we relinquish our control at that pointmdashand start holding our collective breath Wersquore grateful that yoursquove given us a chance

Now welcome to our first yearly food issue Therersquos lots to read over the pages that follow Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondra the wife-and-husband chef-owners of Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuteriemdashwhich is blowing up in Waynemdashinvited us to Society Hill to show us around their charming-but-cramped kitchen (See ldquoA Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)rdquo page 20) We also sat down with the couple who owns The Sergeantsville Inn as they reopened a mere nine months after an electrical fire burned the 18th-century building down to its stone shell (ldquoIt Took a Villagerdquo page 30) Just a couple miles away at the Stockton Market Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot two of the most innovative chefs around are reinventing the doughnut If yoursquore wondering why doughnuts plan to hit their stall first thing next Saturday But read this profile first (ldquoInstacraverdquo page 40)

This stretch always seems like winterrsquos deepest rut The gray the brown the chill all feel interminable A change of scenery would work wonders on the spirit Wersquove got three indulgent retreats lined up for your consideration (ldquoWeekend Getaways for Food Geeksrdquo page 36) No sightseeing here Just pull up a chair (or get comfy by the crackling fire) and eat like your grandmarsquos feeding you If yoursquod rather sit on your vacation days until summer head for your own kitchen instead and learn how to cook our cover (ldquoWarm Belly Sound Mindrdquo page 26) Yoursquoll find a few more recipes as well that should restore your faith in hearty meals until spring finally gets here

Therersquos plenty more where that came from Check out our site HomeAndTableMagazinecom over the coming weeks for profiles of Becky Diamond the Yardley author of the just-published book The Thousand Dollar Dinner and Astonrsquos new craft brewer 2SP as well a tutorial on the updated rules of making coffee at home by Zach Morris the owner of Haverfordrsquos Green Engine Coffee Co Wersquoll also have some 11th-hour Valentinersquos Day gift ideas from the sisters behind the Bryn Mawr-based shopping site LILA Fashion International a low-maintenance total-body workout for those days when Mother Nature keeps you pent up at home and a handful of alternative holistic treatments thatrsquoll help repair the damage done by Jonasrsquos harsh bite

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Barronrsquos Top 1000 Financial Advisors as listed in the February 18th 2013 edition ldquoSecurities offered through WFG Investments Inc member FINRA amp SIPC Investment advisory services offered through Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP are unaffiliated firmsrdquo

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

The first time my wife and I ever booked a trip with the sole intent to eat was four years ago We were a couple of months removed from our honeymoon Truth be told we didnrsquot share much in common at that point in our lives but we both loved eating As we moved from London to Paris to Nice the food got better and better and I could feel us gaining momentum

I didnrsquot want to let it go when we returned home That and everything I put in my mouth tasted like the equivalent of watching static-y black-and-white TV Letrsquos do a cheap long weekend somewhere I said OK she said How about Austin I said Uh she said

Texas has always kinda called to me Irsquom not sure I can explain why without it making me look very stupid I usually dread driving south of Delaware The south has felt painfully slow and ignorant in my few passes through it But Texas was different probably because my perception of it was formed entirely through episodes of ldquoFriday Night Lightsrdquo I imag-inedmdashstill domdashsome day retreating there buying 100 acres for like a thousand bucks driving around in a 1975 Ford pickup maybe coaching a high school football team Every once in a while Irsquoll toast ldquoTexas Foreverrdquo and my wife will shake her head and pull her glass down

But Austin was sort of separate from all of that It was blowing up Every other time we turned on the Food Network or the Travel Channel there was Austin That season of ldquoTop Chefrdquo was in Texas and one of the frontrunners was Paul Qui who hailed from Austin I Googled him found out the name of his restaurant (Uchiko) and said ldquoLetrsquos go thererdquo The downtown was littered with food trucks so wersquod be able to eat all of our other meals on the cheap The flight was indirect but relatively inexpensive too Irsquom not sure when exactly I won my wife over but even then I knew how to lobby her Act like itrsquos painful to spend

It was a whirlwind tour Try to squeeze a whole city into two or three days no matter how casual your pace and it always will be But wersquove never forgotten that night at Uchiko As it turned out we were there the weekend before the ldquoTop Chefrdquo finale Qui would go on to win He wasnrsquot there that night but his name was on the lips of everyone around us The food was beautifully unfamiliar ldquoJapanese farmhouserdquo Irsquod tell everyone half-joking when we got home is sushi with pork belly and Wagyu beef Itrsquos so much more that we didnrsquot even begin to appreciate but those things wersquoll always remember how they tasted

The menu was small plates We ordered and then we ordered some more They came in a precise succession We chewed slowly but it was no use the dinner was becoming a blur Still it was a night that we shared thatrsquos been unlike any other since

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

With their backs against a brick wall literally the Kondras

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

late juicy black cherries and sugary-sweet plums and a bit dried sage and thyme itrsquos the perfect

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

standard-bearer of farmhouse chic around here But its wares donrsquot simply fit the fashion they fill a function

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

By Scott Edwards middot Photography by Brandon Wyche

With their backs against a brick wall literally the Kondras

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

1 tsp salt23 cup equal parts milk and water mixture

1 egg beaten

FILLING

In a large bowl mix together the ground chicken

large bowl then sift in the flour In a small pan heat

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

ing egg Bake for two hours If the lid starts to turn a

dark brown cover it with aluminum foil

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

With their backs against a brick wall literally the Kondras

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

at that point and allow its contents to cool slightly

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

late juicy black cherries and sugary-sweet plums and a bit dried sage and thyme itrsquos the perfect

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

1 tsp salt23 cup equal parts milk and water mixture

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

at that point and allow its contents to cool slightly

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

had to get creative with their storage and counter space

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Down a steep narrow spiral staircase in the basement of a brick town-home in Philadelphiarsquos Society Hill neighborhood sits Christine Doherty Kondra and Nick Kondrarsquos kitchen For all of its colonial-era charmmdashthe brick and stone wall the exposed original floor joists overheadmdashthe space is foremost a model of efficiency Because it has to be Two people of average height standing shoulder to shoulder arms outstretched could probably cover the full length of the room When they moved in the sum of the storage was a couple of floor-level cabinets and a shallow pantry The only source of natural light the contemporary door that opens to the sidewalk which doubles as a sort of skylight

But there was a gas stove and that was every bit the priority that location was to them This was two years ago and Doherty Kondra was working as a private chef ldquoSo every single day I was cooking And not a little A lotrdquo she says The Berwyn native met Kondra whorsquos from Syracuse at a party their first summer working on Nantucket as chefs They were engaged three years later In November 2014 they moved back here to be closer to Doherty Kondrarsquos family Coming from Boston they gravitated to Philly Kondra be-came the pasta chef at Amis Within the next two years theyrsquod open Corner-stone Cheese amp Charcuterie in Wayne But for now Doherty Kondra was left to piece together a functioning kitchen in order to make a living

So there was the gas stove at least It didnrsquot vent though ldquoThe woman who had been here I guess for like 15 years prior used the microwave to cookrdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoSo she had never actually turned the stove onrdquo That was corrected in short order The unique (read wildly inconsis-tent) dimensions of the kitchen added to the challenge of outfitting it They landed on a compact island from Crate amp Barrel with a stainless steel top and a wooden bottom that doubles as their dining table Therersquos also a

shin-high shelf hidden underneath They installed a trio of eye-level cabi-nets from Ikea And Doherty Kondra with the help of her uncle built the simple shelving that spans the length of the opposite wall since nothing she found could accommodate the limited space and the varying heights of their pressure canner crockpots blenders and pasta machine

A pegboard that runs the full height of the door that opens to the next-door laundry room holds most of their hand tool arsenal And their copper pots and pans hang in neat rows on the wall immediately on the other side of that door Look closer and yoursquoll notice that the spices housed in the lower cabinets and the pantryrsquos contents are even alphabetized

ldquoEverythingrsquos organized according to how I cook and to be able to just easily grab and gordquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoWhen wersquore cooking down here I have to remind Nick we donrsquot have a dishwasherrdquo A person not the machine There is a dishwasher ldquoThatrsquos a common problem with guys that are used to the [commercial] kitchen they start cooking at home and theyrsquore using every single pan You donrsquot do that as a private chef You use like one or two or three and you clean as you gordquo

Since Cornerstone has taken off theyrsquore cooking less for themselves and using this home more as a pied-agrave-terre They spend most nights during the week in a second home near the restaurant

ldquoIrsquom ready to take the plunge and just stay out in the suburbsrdquo Kondra admits

His wife however is reluctant to let go of the city ldquoIf we had all the mon-ey in the world I would raise our kids in Philadelphia and buy a beautiful brownstone a block from hererdquo she says ldquoBut we didnrsquot win the Powerball Itrsquos not going to go that wayrdquo

Kondra planted another seed and now he seems to be winning her over ldquoIt sort of dawned on merdquo Doherty Kondra says ldquoif we have a place in Wayne full-time then wersquoll come into the citymdashrdquo

ldquoAndrdquo her husband jumps in ldquostay at the Four Seasonsrdquo Well played

A Place for Everything (Which was No Small Feat)

The husband-and-wife owners of Waynersquos Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie share their Society Hill kitchen a modest space that packs

a surprising punch Not unlike their surging shop

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

1 tbsp mixed dried herbs

2 oranges the rind finely grate

2 tsps ground ginger

2 tsps salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

1 lb chicken breast fillet

1 cup fresh red currants

4 cups all-purpose flou23 cup butter or lard

1 tsp salt23 cup equal parts milk and water mixture

1 egg beaten

FILLING

In a large bowl mix together the ground chicken

rind ginger and salt Season with pepper to taste

PASTRY AND ASSEMBLY Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Add the salt to a

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

at that point and allow its contents to cool slightly

pan spreading it evenly and to the edges Layer

ing egg Bake for two hours If the lid starts to turn a

dark brown cover it with aluminum foil

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

late juicy black cherries and sugary-sweet plums and a bit dried sage and thyme itrsquos the perfect

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Prime SeatsNot to gloss over the 60 kinds of handpicked cheese for sale or the house-made

sausage but itrsquos the deftly edited restaurant at Cornerstone Cheese amp Charcuterie

that shot it into orbit Weekends are booking at least a week out Impressive for

what was supposed to be a gradual introduction The original concept was a

gourmet-bent shop that staged the occasional cooking class And then a couple

months in dinner service

At the heart of the uniquely intimate atmosphere is a U-shaped 14-seat chefrsquos

countermdashthose are by the way the only seats in the restaurantmdashthat encircles

an open kitchen Watch your meal come together or turn your undivided atten-

tion to your dinner companion Therersquos no in-between This is not a communal ta-

ble And beyond the Van Morrison bellowing softly in the background there are

no distractions Even the wait staff seems to make itself invisible plates appearing

magically before you

This is not dining out as yoursquore used to it especially in Wayne With the volume

turned down on the white noise the food and the conversation go 4K HD mdashSE

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Barronrsquos Top 1000 Financial Advisors as listed in the February 18th 2013 edition ldquoSecurities offered through WFG Investments Inc member FINRA amp SIPC Investment advisory services offered through Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP are unaffiliated firmsrdquo

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

1 tsp salt23 cup equal parts milk and water mixture

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

at that point and allow its contents to cool slightly

them to an eighth of an inch with a rolling pin

Spoon half the ground-meat mixture into the cake

pan spreading it evenly and to the edges Layer

ing egg Bake for two hours If the lid starts to turn a

dark brown cover it with aluminum foil

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Barronrsquos Top 1000 Financial Advisors as listed in the February 18th 2013 edition ldquoSecurities offered through WFG Investments Inc member FINRA amp SIPC Investment advisory services offered through Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP Rosenzweig amp Associates and WFG Advisors LP are unaffiliated firmsrdquo

Aargh yes I know itrsquos a double whammy none of us drew the nearly $16 billion-dollar winning Powerball ticket on 1-13-2016 and now the SampP 500 for the first 13 days of 2016 is nearing ldquocorrectionrdquo territory with a negative 97 So whatrsquos a person to do as we watch the markets ldquogoing to Hell in a hand basketrdquo Letrsquos start by ldquosetting the stagerdquo according to a USA Today Network edition article on 1-14-2016 over 635103137 lottery tickets were sold and the odds of winning was 1 in 292201338 Yet many of us still bought tickets with dreams of winning how to claim the money (lump-sum or annuity) and how to spend that huge sum of money A fantasy yes but exciting nonetheless

On the other hand the market decline and its impact on retirement funds and other critical investments is a harsh reality Letrsquos consider an-other harsh reality according to the Ibbotson SBBI chart (stocks bonds bills and inflation) from 1926-2014 stocks have been one of the few asset classes to soundly beat the impact of inflation on an after tax basis (real rate of return) According to Wharton studies if you expand asset classes to non‐liquid investments then real estate and commodities would also have served as good inflation hedges

Waiting for those double digit interest rates that everyone remembers so fondly Based on a study done by Louise Yamada Technical Research Advisors charting over 220 years of interest rates dating back to the 1790rsquos double digit rates occurred for a brief time in the late 1980rsquos Including these exceptional rates which peaked at around 20 the actual average rate of interest over the years studied was about 5 on a before-tax basis If the data indicates that long-term growth in excess of inflation cannot be achieved in traditionally safe investments such as bank instruments and government bonds then the key is to create a portfolio that provides comfort level or ldquosleep factorrdquo balanced with asset types that have shown success against the impact of inflation and taxes

Hopefully you have already developed an investment strategy which in-cludes diversification and risk management and is built around your risk tolerance financial goals and your commitment to a savings plan Having portfolio diversification that includes assets that are not strictly tied into stock market returns is a key to dealing with market risk Investments such as government bonds bank instruments annuity investments and others that provide either a guaranteed income or maturity value are im-portant investments to own in an overall portfolio If you havenrsquot laid out your investment strategy and began to build a portfolio that is based on an objective strategy which mirrors your risk tolerance and realistic expec-tations then in the midst of a volatile market is not a great time to start

Trying to develop a long-term plan during a period of pessimism and mar-ket volatility is very difficult since your objectivity may be at question Your strategy should clearly envision your goals your commitment to savings your understanding of the varieties of risk and your ability to remain fo-cused on your objectives in the midst of adversity It is important to fully grasp reality in your planning For example seeking those 20 interest rates again when double-digit rates have only existed one brief time in in our in-terest rate history is impractical Neither is factoring in the next $16 billion Powerball lottery jackpot Also the ability to seek large double digit gains in the stock market is also at question since the world as a whole seems to be slowing relative to growth Finally expecting to draw a large percentage of income from withdrawals when considering low interest rates muted mar-ket returns and long life expectancy is a highly unlikely scenario

There is plenty to do even if your strategy is sound Volatile markets may be a time for a more active style of management When broad markets are falling owning indices of market capitalization weighted stocks may lag a more tactical approach to investing It may seem counter-intuitive to be selling when the market is low but opportunities arise to own po-sitions that may be a better fit for your financial objectives and therefore ldquoselling low to buy lowrdquo to obtain a seemingly better position may be a solid strategy In our practice we are seeking opportunity and approach our considerations analytically and objectively constantly second-guess-ing ourselves to obtain a more meaningful asset allocation and diversity for our clients

While it would be ideal to time the market I donrsquot know of anyone who is truly prescient to predict market highs and lows although many make the claim that they do We allocate assets in accordance with our clientsrsquo objectives and tolerance for risk Risk management is a constant in how we create portfolios By incorporating asset classes that offer resistance to market declines even as mundane as cash then that level of predictability gives us and our clients a better understanding of their portfolio risk and potential outcomes In markets such as these we are seeking buying op-portunities considering if current allocations and investments are ldquohold-ing waterrdquo and seeking to understand the nuances and signals that will assist us in better positioning our clients to take advantage of buying good investments during overall market weakness

Although an intelligent investment plan is not at all like gambling the only way to benefit from weakness in the market and obtaining quality investments at reasonable prices is to participate Remember ldquoyou have to play to winrdquo whether it be the lottery or investment opportunities

large bowl then sift in the flour In a small pan heat

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

at that point and allow its contents to cool slightly

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

late juicy black cherries and sugary-sweet plums and a bit dried sage and thyme itrsquos the perfect

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

1 tbsp mixed dried herbs

2 oranges the rind finely grate

2 tsps ground ginger

2 tsps salt

Freshly ground pepper to taste

1 lb chicken breast fillet

1 cup fresh red currants

4 cups all-purpose flou23 cup butter or lard

1 tsp salt23 cup equal parts milk and water mixture

1 egg beaten

FILLING

In a large bowl mix together the ground chicken

and veal (or sausage) the coriander herbs orange

rind ginger and salt Season with pepper to taste

PASTRY AND ASSEMBLY Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Add the salt to a

large bowl then sift in the flour In a small pan heat

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

at that point and allow its contents to cool slightly

Then stir it into the flour forming the dough

Move the dough to a clean work surface and

off a third to use as the lid wrap it in plastic and

store it in a warm place On a floured work surface

tear so move quickly

between two sheets of plastic wrap and flatten

them to an eighth of an inch with a rolling pin

Spoon half the ground-meat mixture into the cake

pan spreading it evenly and to the edges Layer

half the chicken breast slices over top then the red

Roll out the dough that was set aside for the lid on

a floured surface Drape it across the pan trim off any

excess and seal the edges with the beaten egg Cut a

hole in the center of the lid to allow steam to escape

some shapes out of the excess dough and apply them

to the lid Then brush the entire lid with the remain-

ing egg Bake for two hours If the lid starts to turn a

dark brown cover it with aluminum foil

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

late juicy black cherries and sugary-sweet plums and a bit dried sage and thyme itrsquos the perfect

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

the butter (or lard) and the milk-water mixture until

it starts to boil Remove the pan from the burner

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

What Irsquom Drinking Right NowANGELO BORRANI GOVERNO ALLrsquo USO TOSCANO 2014 | $17 (750ml)

ldquoGovernordquo refers to the production method Some of the grapes are dried before theyrsquore pressed

Then theyrsquore blended with the new wine supposedly adding depth This Borrani is fathoms deep

It drinks like the yummy offspring of an Amarone and a Chianti With strong hits of dark choco-

companion for braised meats and dense stews

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

to the lid Then brush the entire lid with the remain-

ing egg Bake for two hours If the lid starts to turn a

dark brown cover it with aluminum foil

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Fire burned the Sergeantsville Inn down to its 300-year-old shell one night last winter A community rebuilt it in

nine months And overnight normalcy settled back in inside the restaurant and out

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

As a cold dawn filled the sky on March 9 2015 the last wisps of smoke from a fast-moving fire were doused Sometime after the Sergeantsville Inn closed

for the night an electrical fire broke out in the waitersrsquo station adjacent to the bar The response would run to four alarms drawing 18 companies from New Jersey and Pennsyl-vania Come the morning all that remained standing of the 18th-century building were the fieldstone walls and a room at the western end that once served as the ice house for the Central New Jersey village which sits perched atop a hill about a 10-minute drive north of New Hope The fire spared the room entirely

The inn which was bought in 1999 by Joe Clyde whorsquos also the executive chef had an es-pecially loyal following (Including me and my wife We moved to Sergeantsville a little more than two years before the fire and we were gravitating there more and more) Within days of the fire a ldquoSave the Innrdquo Facebook page went up and it would evoke nearly 4800 likes Joe says he and his wife Lisa who manages the front of the restaurant knew ldquoprobably the next day after the shock wore offrdquo that theyrsquod rebuild The actual reconstruction led by Barna Build-ing Contractors based the next town over in Stockton was as swift and sure Over the next nine months the building was hollowed out and then pieced back together

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

Upstairs the tavern once a rather cozy room in its own right now opens to the roofline A second-floor apartment that Joe used occa-sionally was converted to another three-wall seating areamdashabout 70 seats were added alto-gethermdashthat extends halfway over the tavern creating a loft-like space

When I ask Lisa and Joe if anything meaningful couldnrsquot be saved or replaced they pause Grate-ful as they are to have their restaurant (and ev-eryone in it) back theyrsquore humble soft-spoken people Routine is what they know best and the last several months were profoundly disorient-ing Joe looks across the table says ldquoMy fatherrsquos wedding ringrdquo It was lost shortly before his fa-ther died Joe found it kept it in the second-floor apartment During the demolition they gave the crew an idea of where it could be not really ex-pecting it to be there It was gone they knew But then the builderrsquos son Mik Barna Jr turned up with it So no nothing meaningful was lost

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Amid the December holidays the Sergeantsville Inn reopened gradu-ally looking different of course but surprisingly the same in more ways Mik Barna the builder salvaged every part of the building that he could The attic floorboards that werenrsquot burned were pulled up replaced with plywood and repurposed throughout the restaurant And when Barna fell short the neighbors covered the gaps donating wood from their old barns Another offered up a fallen black walnut tree from which the new bar was crafted When I meet with the Clydes at the restaurant in the last days of December itrsquos covered in a temporary white Formica counter-top thatrsquos filled with short supportive messages scrolled in a rainbow of Sharpie ink

Joe seized the chance to upgrade the kitchen He describes the former space as ldquoa cave with ovensrdquo He stands less than six feet tall but he always wore a baseball hat to keep from scraping his head on the ceiling An ex-cavator dug two feet down to add some height The walk-in refrigerators were also moved outside Theyrsquore hidden for the most part by a modest deck thatrsquoll hold a few tables come the spring Central air and heat were added Little could be done about the unfavorable footprint but Joe at least bought himself and his crew some breathing room and climate con-trol Not that anyone seemed all that fazed by the way things were Most of the staffmdashcooks waiters bartendersmdashhave been by his side for at least a decade And every one of them returned Nearby restaurants offered to employ them until the inn reopened

Much of the wood throughout including many of the window frames was salvaged

from the building and donated by neighbors Opening pages The inn 11 months

after a four-alarm fi e burned almost everything down but the 282-year-old walls

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

wwwwilliams-sonomacomproductscedar-chicken-coop-with-planterp-

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

As you scroll through seed catalogues by a crackling fire daydreaming about

your backyard garden at the height of summermdashcucumbers as big as a fore-

arm so many snap peas jalapenos that seem to absorb every degree of the

sunrsquos heatmdashconsider making this the year you finally go for it Over the last few

summers yoursquove become increasingly self-sufficient Hell last year you grew

more veggies than your fridge and kitchen counter could hold Yet most Satur-

day mornings you still found yourself standing over the $5-carton of eggs at

the farmers market wondering if you could pull it off Of course you can Chick-

ens are about as low-maintenance as pets get (Mind you wersquore talking about

two or three here four tops) And with this stylish nearly seven-foot-tall cedar

coop from Williams-Sonoma ($1500 $150 for delivery and assembly) [http

key=coutdoor-garden-chicken-coops7Coutdoor-chicken-coops7Campampcout-

door-garden-chicken-coops|outdoor-chicken-coops|] itrsquos really as simple as

flipping open the drop-down door and plucking your eggs A not-insignificant

feature Both the chicken and egg doors lock Finding out that a fox reached

your breakfast first is not something that you can unsee Yoursquore not a farmer

after all Yoursquore just harvesting your own eggs Simple as that mdashScott Edwards

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

Hungry for more mouthwatering photos

from our shoot at Curiosity Doughnuts

Visit HOMEANDTABLEMAGAZINECOM

In their seminal 2013 cookbook Maximum FlavormdashRecipes that Will Change the Way You Cook (which drew praise from the likes of David Chang Michael Voltaggio and Sean Brock) Aki Kamozawa and Alex Talbot achieved new benchmarks for most of our staples fries burgers wings steak dough-nuts But leaving well enough or even pure perfection alone isnrsquot who they are After years of deflat-ing paradigms the couplersquos only just begun to truly understand itself Theyrsquore obsessive ldquoAnd therersquos something really exciting about following an obsessionrdquo Talbot says

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts

Talbot who picks up speed as the conversation progresses is a firm believer that the humble doughnut is capable of revelation Since they opened in October he and Kamozawa have developed several iterations (naturally) but the simple yeasted doughnut is the origin of this particular obses-sion The outside or crust if you will is just crisp enough for a soul-quenching crunch The insidersquos unusually soft and moist almost custard-like when itrsquos warm (And it really should be eaten warm) Itrsquos sweet but not cake sweet Revelatory yes But perfect ldquoWell today it was perfectrdquo Talbot says conceding more than celebrating ldquoBut doughnuts are interesting Things change Yoursquove got great doughnut days and good doughnut days I think right now these are darn good doughnuts but wersquore tinkerers at heartrdquo

Weekend Getaways for Food GeeksWhether you want to develop your knife skills or eat (and drink) really really well these three destinations will allow you to do it free of distraction

We all travel for food anymore whether itrsquos driving past the local grocery stores to hit an out-of-the-way Whole Foods or night market-hopping in Thailand for a week It all counts In fact the term ldquoculinary tourismrdquo was dropped in 2012 in favor of ldquofood

tourismrdquo because it was deemed too elitist Regardless of what itrsquos called business is booming And itrsquos believed to be only in its infancy in large part because of the money thatrsquos being generatedmdashtourists are spend-ing on average 25 percent of their travel budgets on food and drink

according to the World Food Travel Associationmdashand now invested to entice us to blow even more Not to mention food is the linchpin of local culture Always has been Only our interest in it is new So in the spirit of savoring every experience near and far gourmet and grassroots wersquore offering up three weekend getaways all within driving distance that cater to the serious eater (and cook if yoursquore game) in each of us Yeah they tip more toward indulgence but we figured yoursquove got a handle on filling up your weekends at home with farmers markets and trending brunch spots mdashSCOTT EDWARDS

The Farm Cooking School | Stockton New JerseyDriving time from Philadelphia About an hour

This is farm-to-table cooking as preached by the guy who wrote the book on it Literally Ian Knauer the schoolrsquos founder is the author of the re-vered cookbook The FarmmdashRustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Cooking It was while writing that book that he discovered the small artisanal towns along the Delaware River in central Bucks and Hunterdon counties Shortly after it was published he rented a small stone house on a grass-fed cattle farm and spent the winter renovating it Come the spring he invited Shelley Wiseman a colleague from his days at Gourmet magazine to join him and

together they opened the school Serious as their credentials are the classes and dinners they stage year-round cater as much to excited eaters as ambi-tious home chefs Last fall they hosted their first weekend-long program (There are three Airbnb apartments on the farm including a one-bedroom over the schoolrsquos kitchen) Knauer and Wiseman led a ldquoBest Dishes to Bring to a Partyrdquo class That night they brought their guests (and their dishes) to a potluck dinner at a nearby farm This summer theyrsquore planning to repeat such a weekend about every six weeks thefarmcookingschoolcom

So when Kamozawa and Talbot wandered into the Stockton Market in the riverside New Jersey town last August and decided on the spot to rent a stall and start selling their own frozen custard and doughnuts they were always going to start from scratch Because thatrsquos what they do They made two doughnuts an entirely new one and then the Maximum Flavor one challenging them-selves The Maximum Flavor doughnut was way better A third followed made with the parts of both recipes that worked the best So began the aptly named Curiosity Doughnuts
