{Weekly Dish: Clash of the fruit crumbles}
MONTREAL - I have one sibling, a sister, her name is Lorraine. When you are two girls in one family, things tend to get competitive and I have always been competitive with Lorraine. I was thinner, Lorraine was prettier. I was the ballerina, Lorraine was the gymnast. I was the fun one, she was the smart one. You get the picture.As we got older,[url=http://www.mcm-handbags.net]mcm bags[/url], though,[url=http://www.mcm-handbags.net]mcm handbags[/url], a lot of that currency fell by the wayside, as in neither of us is dancing Swan Lake in the basement anymore or doing back-handsprings on the front lawn. Like it or not, we’re both spending a lot of time covering up the grey. Career-wise, I probably have the more exciting job whereas she, a creative director in a big ad agency, doesn’t so much make the dough as rake it in. And though my sister loves Montreal, she now has the upper hand by living in Paris. I, however, get to spend weekends in the bosky Laurentians, whereas she inhales a heck of a lot of smog on her way to Pierre Hermé to get her breakfast croissants. Or so I keep telling myself.With so little left for us to compete over anymore, cooking has become an interesting playing field, for we two semi-insane women like to get down and dirty. She makes the world’s best salads, I make the world’s best roast chicken. She sets a mean table, but I choose better wines. She makes superb chili, but I can make the River Café lemon tart without having to get on the phone and make a long-distance call to ask my sister for advice. Ha! As you can see, it’s never-ending.Last September, on my way back from a trip to Alsace, I stopped by my sister’s apartment for a night before the return flight to Montreal. She held a dinner party in my honour, and when I offered to pick up dessert at a local fab pâtisserie, she said, “No, I made a pear crumble.” I looked at it, sitting there on the counter and scoffed a bit, thinking, “whatever …” It was pale, it was too deep, and she hadn’t asked for my advice, so it was obviously doomed to fail.Come dessert time, however, my scoffing ceased. Lorraine’s crumble wasn’t just good, it was incredible. I had three portions and practically teared up realizing I couldn’t do better. I sulked my way through the rest of the meal knowing I was beat.Last week, while planning a dinner I would be having with an Alsatian winemaker, I called sister dearest and asked whether she could share her pear crumble recipe for me to serve with his late-harvest gewürztraminer. “Recipe?” she said. “I don’t have a recipe, I just winged it.” Winged it? My sister made the best damn crumble I have ever tasted and she claims to have winged it? I was furious adding a, “Look Lorraine, it was a pretty good crumble. You can’t just have made it up as you went along. You must have got some guidance somewhere.”After a bit of prodding she admitted that perhaps the crumble topping had come from a Trish Deseine cookbook (she didn’t mention which one) and that she had added about four apples to the mix with maybe about eight pears, as well as some ginger. “Crystallized or stem?” I asked in a rapid but well-disguised panicky voice. “Beats me,” she answered. The rest, well, she couldn’t remember. If I hadn’t been 10,000 miles away, I seriously would have wrestled her to the living room floor.
