Pizzas are eternal favourites for home delivery, and I've liked those at Juliana's ($5.50 to $18) -- particularly the loaded "meatlovers" -- but there's another attraction for me here. One of my reactions to the nastiness outside is a longing for old-fashioned stew, and Juliana's spicy oxtails do it for me (not listed on the menu but almost always available) -- slow cooked to succulent softness, and served with rice and beans and salad ($13.95). I've also had good pizzas at the following recently reviewed restaurants, as well as some of their other best dishes. Bella Roma's $27.95 dinner for two offers gnocchi-like cavatelli, stuffed veal, chicken parmesan and house-made sausage, plus soup or salad ($9.95 to $15.95 if ordered a la carte). At Casa Grande it's the fettuccini with anchovie...
The entry -- via the patio where a series of sad-looking sofas have been exiled to frozen misery -- could be from a Guy Maddin movie. Were they the ones I'd remembered from indoors, a few years ago? I can't be sure, but within I did find that the snug little nooks had given way to one nook only, and that one with hard, high stools at high bar tables. Other seats were on chairs along the bar, or at two tiny tables smack up against the showcase, or on eight leather-like bucket chairs at, incomprehensibly, a single long glass table, which you'd have to share with whomever came along. Not quite as cosy as I'd remembered, but when it came to the food, little had changed. Everything was still delicious, and although the Cantina menu is limited, and not everything on it available at any given ...

LA CANTINA DI MONA LISA is tiny, its menu is short, and not everything on it is available all the time, but the carpaccio of veal always is -- tissue thin, moistened with olive oil and lemon juice and sprinkled with shavings of Parmesan. But if you can't find enough to satisfy you on the Cantina's menu you can order anything from the restaurant itself, a pizza, for instance, with delicious toppings (I liked the meaty il predatore) on a crust so good you'll probably eat even the unadorned edges. 1697 Corydon Ave., 489-3634. SIAM is high on many lists for the city's reputedly most authentic Thai food, but it would be high on my own list if it served one dish only. Mee krob, a personal favourite that is hard to find. It is not the ubiquitous pan-fried egg noodles with big chunks of veggies...

A combination of duck breast and duck confit makes fabulous meatballs, as does monkfish, even rabbit. Sure, you can make great meatballs with pork, beef, veal or even lamb, but top the pasta and sauce with an "un-meatball" and the dish reaches an entirely new level -- without losing its basic nature. Pair rich duck meatballs with a sauce befitting their rustic extravagance. Lace the tomato sauce with the mellow earthiness of porcini mushrooms and a generous pour of red wine, then cook it longer, letting the flavours and textures of the sauce build and deepen. Duck doesn't want a light sauce but one with a long trajectory, a lower register, a soothing complexity. Good spaghetti has a nutty flavour and a distinct mouth-feel to it, a bite and flavour that can stand up to the weight of the ...

The summit agreed to look for ways to reduce trade barriers, to increase agricultural production and to offer unspecified assistance for poor farmers who cannot afford to buy seed and fertilizer. On biofuels, there was no agreement, with Canada, the United States and Europe all denying that biofuels contribute in any real way to the current food shortage. Since all of these governments, including Canada's, have major political capital invested in biofuels as a weapon in the war on global warming, corn and wheat seem destined to continue to go into gas tanks rather than into hungry people.

Things did pick up after that, raising hopes that the above two dishes might be anomalies. Cannelloni fiorentina, stuffed with spinach, ricotta and mozzarella and bathed in a creamy, rose-coloured sauce, was light and delicious ($13.95). Pollo lina also was good -- a chicken breast stuffed with a mixture of ground beef, bacon and mushrooms, then breaded (a tad too heavily), baked and topped with a mushroom-dotted cream sauce ($18.95). With it came a dollop of pasta in a light, winey sauce that, oddly, was much moister and tastier than the la carte carbonara had been. Tiramisu, however -- one of two house-made desserts (the other is cheesecake) -- was dry, as though it had been sitting around too long ($5.95). Our entr ©e that night was veal saltimbocca ($22.95).

Taste Tester Notes: This makes a very nice gingerbread cookie, mildly spiced and less strongly flavoured than most. I used 1 litre (4 cups) of brown sugar. Keep the dough in the refrigerator, taking out only as much as you need for rolling at one time. It will roll very easily if used straight out of the fridge, without sticking or requiring any flouring of rolling surface (I used a plastic rolling mat). This makes one big whack of cookies, with quantity depending on the size you make. I made 2 dozen 10-centimetre gingerbread men, a half-dozen 15-cm men, and about 8 dozen 5-cm round cookies out of this recipe. To make about 250 ml (1 cup) of decorating icing, I used 500 ml (2 cups) of icing sugar mixed with about 45 ml (3 tbsp) of warm water and .5 ml (1/8 tsp) of vanilla. Adjust icing ...

Veal cheeks are the new "it" meat, popping up on sophisticated menus: a dense, almost gelatinous meat braised in a clear, winey sauce, and served with ethereal spinach and ricotta-stuffed gnocchi ($29). There's also a gorgeous grilled branzino -- an entire firm-fleshed Mediterranean sea bass, filled with lemon slices, thyme and parsley, boned and filleted tableside ($36). To my sorrow I missed the nights when my favourite vitello tonnato was the special -- a cold, summer appetizer of veal slices topped by tuna mayonnaise ($14). The risottos are sumptuous, cooked to a creamy texture but retaining a hint of crunch, partnered (depending on the day) with porcini mushrooms and grilled beef tenderloin, possibly, or with shrimp and asparagus, at $36 for two. But although full-size portions of ...
