Jobin on the New This week Michelle Jobin checks out The Roosevelt Room, an art deco supper club with a serious chef and gourmet aspirations for clubland. More>>	Barbera Bargain Barolo's poorer cousin is the perfect food-friendly everyday wine for Italophiles. Nuova Cappelletta's 2007 Barbera del Monferrato (LCBO# 719518 - $16.95) balances cherry fruitiness with a whiff of cigar smoke and leather making it much more complex than most under $20 quaffers. A touch of tannin and generous acid demand something a little rich, like a pasta with a sausage ragu or (more regionally appropriately) a simple risotto.

Canadian Cookbook Awards: An Alberta Upset - Company's Coming Triumphs Over James Beard Book of the Year Ricardo Larrivée won best French language cookbook for Ricardo: parce qu'on a tous de la visite: cuisiner en toutes circonstances Cuisine Canada held the 12th annual Canadian Cookbook Awards last week in Toronto to a packed house at The Royal Agricultural Fair. A complete list of winners is here, including Ricardo Larrivée's Ricardo: parce qu'on a tous de la visite: cuisiner en toutes circonstances, which won Best French Cookbook and Jeffrey Alford and Naomi Duguid's Beyond The Great Wall, which won English Special Interest and Anita Stewart's Anita Stewart's Canada, which won Best Canadian Food Culture beating out Margaret Webb's Oysters to Apples, which won silver. But the big upset came from the Alberta recipe house founded by Jean Paré, Company's Coming, whose Small Plates For Sharing, edited by staffer Laurie Stempfle won Best English Cookbook. Stempfle's bested legendary Canadian Living food maven Elizabeth Baird, whose The Complete Canadian Living Baking Book won second place. Stempfle's slim volume also won out over Jennifer McLagan's Fat, which had had previously won Best Single Subject at The IACP Awards in February, in addition to the James Beard Award for Cookbook of the Year in May. The decision left much of the Toronto fooderatti present surprised and curious. - Malcolm Jolley	Breakfast Bowl Revolutionaries English cereal and porridge makers Camilla and Nick Barnard want you to read the label on the box on your breakfast table.

Versatile enough for roast chicken or beef, with lively red and black currant notes. LCBO# 707273 - $13.95
	In (and Out of) Season: Red Fife Flour As the days grow shorter, Kathleen Mackintosh relies less on fresh produce and more on Ontario staples at her locavore emporium, Culinarium. Mackinosh is a big promoter of red fife wheat, the strain developed near Peterborough in the 19th C. that domesticated the prairies: "This heritage grain is a great substitute for commercial whole wheat flour, as it should be given it is the grandfather of all grains grown in this country. Great in pancakes, muffins or for the more adventurous makes a delicious nutty flavoured bread." \| *Culinarium, Ontario's Locavore Store, sponsors GFR's* weekly seasonal produce report.**
