a great component that chargrill flavor adds to any dish.
“I encourage people to play around. Think outside the box.”
And then, after you’ve devoured the steak, chicken, fish and/or
veggies, comes the one thing most of us can’t resist: dessert.
“I like to lighten it up with a raspberry panna cotta,” said Sichel,
who worked at Zahav for five years as a sous chef before becoming
chef de cuisine at Abe Fisher. “Sweeten it with milk and sour cream,
and add a raspberry puree.”
Of course, there are always the old standbys — cake and ice cream
— the latter of which, contrary to those who stand on ceremony,
tastes just as good in February as July.
There are really any number of ways to make a delectable dessert
— adding fruit, perhaps a sorbet, or even blending a bunch of things
together into a smoothie. And keep in mind — in case you’re keeping
kosher — many of these items can be bought or prepared pareve.
It’s really not that difficult to do.
The bottom line, though, is that since summer is light and breezy,
a time for most of us to kick back and relax — whether at the shore
or at home — summertime cooking should be the same.
While you can truly never go wrong with hot dogs and hamburg-
ers and surround them with the usual suspects, we’ve just given you
a few other options.
So the next time someone says to you, “What’s cooking?” you
can reply, “Just wait and see. You’ll love it.” l

to Drinking
in the Summer
As the summer months roll in, expect the air to be filled with the smells of grilling — hot dogs,
burgers, chicken, veggies ...
But what goes best with a traditionally summer meal like barbecue?
An ice cold beer. Or a nice glass of sangria. Or something infused
with the flavors of summer — think pineapple, strawberry and other
fruity goodness.
While you can easily hop on over to your favorite restaurant and
order a cocktail, you also might be interested in channeling your
inner bartender and whip up your own creation.
And lucky for you as you start to look into a more DIY drinks
approach, there are plenty of resources in Philadelphia to help you
find your inner Nick Miller or Woody Boyd.
Get Your Brew On
Drinking beer in Philadelphia in the warmer months is a treat on
its own. With countless beer gardens opening for the season, the
city becomes a top-notch destination for those looking to expand
their pale ale palates.
Home to many respectable breweries, there are always seasonal
beers on tap or cased, ready for you to take them home and bring
25 JUNE 2, 2016
JEWISHEXPONENT.COM them to your next outdoor party (see: Yard’s seasonal brews. Fingers
crossed the fruity, quenching Pynk is available.)
But what about making your own?
While the idea of standing over a boiling pot of wort (unferment-
ed beer) might seem unappealing in the humidity of July, there’s
never a wrong time to start home brewing.
“For someone who’s never done it before, there’s no time like the
present,” said Nancy Rigberg, co-owner of Home Sweet Homebrew
at 20th and Sansom streets.
With air conditioning available, she said brewing your own beer
shouldn’t be as big of a problem as you might think — just be wary
of more airborne bacteria. That could put a damper on things.
Rigberg and her husband, George Hummel, have operated the
store — the oldest homebrew store in Philadelphia — since the mid-
1980s. They supply home brewing kits for beer as well as wine, another
good summer option (though there’s never a bad time to drink wine).
