RECIPES
Jarred tomato sauces have come a long way, in terms of quality and variety. Several popular brands were put to a taste test. Which is the best?
The jarred sauces of today are a far cry from they once were. The first ingredient in most jars now (including Ragu) is tomatoes, and gone are the lengthy lists of chemical ingredients and several different types of sugar.
Recipe prep
Skillet Chicken Parmesan
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 jar (about 26 ounces) spaghetti sauce
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese,
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
This ambitious new Cuban BYO brings a romantic slice of old Havana to Chestnut Hill, with handsomely distressed walls, good art, and a savory Latin soundtrack. The upscale menu, though, is a disappointing blend of weakly rendered classics, tiny portions, and stabs at innovation that lack the substance to merit the relatively high prices.
Lunch Tuesday through Saturday, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Dinner Tuesday through Saturday, 5-10 p.m.; Sundays, until 9 p.m. Brunch Sunday, 11 a.m.-2:30 p.m.
8609 Germantown Ave., Philadelphia, PA

Parkway sidewalk cafe: Better late than never
- It seems more than a little unfair that it took until last week to open what's being called the first free-standing sidewalk cafe on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway (at 16th Street) - a full century after the grand slant was cut through Philadelphia's checkerboard grid to make way for, among other things, the casual joys of French cafe culture.

Match hearty wines to those autumn feasts
- That glistening pinot grigio you enjoyed at last summer's beach parties may, come Halloween, taste thin and inconsequential, particularly with cool-weather meals. Similarly, light and fruity reds and rosés can wilt like sunflowers, yielding to sturdier cousins like cabernet sauvignon, zinfandel, nebbiolo and shiraz.

Venue vegan: Phillies, Citizens Bank Park find a winning combo
- IN 2007 AND AGAIN in 2008, Citizens Bank Park was named North America's Most Vegetarian-Friendly Ballpark. And after more than a decade of drought, in 2007 and again in 2008, the Phillies made the playoffs.

Glaze is the key to tweaking the flavor of turkey ham
- Q: Some of my family members are not pork eaters. During the holiday season, they prefer turkey ham instead of a regular baked ham. Do you have any ideas on how to make this dish a little more flavorful? I have pre-sliced and baked the turkey ham, adding a sweet glaze, but my glaze recipe is always crappy. Your expertise is greatly needed and appreciated. Thank you!
