Frasier & Gaier plus Food+Farm
The Food & Dining section in today’s Press Herald includes a profile of Clark Frasier and Mark Gaier, winners of the 2010 Best Chef Northeast James Beard Award,
“I’m definitely really happy that they won,” said Melissa Kelly, chef/owner of Primo in Rockland and the 1999 winner of Best Chef in the Northeast. “I always nominate them. I think they deserve it. They really are icons in the business.”
and an overview of the Food+Farm program being put on this week by Space Gallery.
Now entering its third year, the popular film festival and local food celebration kicks off Thursday and runs through Sunday. It will showcase four feature-length documentaries, screen four Maine-produced shorts and offer a chance to get your hands dirty on an urban farm. But don’t expect to see films that rehash the big-picture problems with our industrial food system.

JP's Bistro Review & Wholesome Junk Food
The Portland Phoenix has published a review of JP’s Bistro.
A more interesting assortment of mushrooms spotted the risotto that was served with grilled scallops. They gave the risotto a deep, rich flavor. The grains had softened to just the right tenderness in plenty of butter and broth. The scallops were a bit over-seared — their appearance hinted at the slightest of shrivels — but still juicy in the center.
This week’s Phoenix also includes an article about Laura Trice who
has been in the business of healthy junk food since 2001, when she left medicine to launch her cookie company, Laura’s Wholesome Junk Food, in Venice, California. The company currently distributes its fruit-sweetened, vegan, and kosher cookies in natural-food stores nationwide (in Portland, you can find Laura’s cookies in the Whole Foods bakery and at Maine Medical Center’s coffee shop, where a share of the proceeds helps pay for Maine students to attend medical school).
Trice will be at Longfellow Books in Monument Square on Sunday at 3 pm for a signing of her book The Wholesome Junk Food Cookbook.
