SQUAB WITH GRAPES
Peel me a grape - in fact, 48 of them. This lovely and simple dish of marinated, sauteed squab includes 12 large whole, peeled grapes for each person. Chef Billoux removes the seeds with a very clever tool: he bends open a paper clip, then uses one of the rounded ends to reach down into the grape from the stem end and pull out the seeds without breaking the whole grape.

Steps:
- In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat the olive oil and saute the carrots, onions, shallots, and garlic until softened but not colored, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining marinade ingredients and bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes; let cool to room temperature. Bone the squab and cut down either side of the backbone; lift out the bone. Crack the cartilage in the breast and flatten the squabs. Pour the marinade in a large deep baking dish or large zipper plastic bags and add the squab; turn to coat all sides. Marinate in the refrigerator overnight. Lift the squabs from the marinade and drain. Melt the butter and swirl in the olive oil in a large saute pan or skillet over medium heat. Add the squabs, skin-side down. Saute 1 to 2 minutes, until browned; turn and brown on the other side. Season with salt and pepper and add a few tablespoons of marinade to the pan. Cook 4 - 5 minutes total, basting the squabs continually with the pan juices as they cook. Turn again twice during the cooking process. Drain off any grease. Pour the marinade through a strainer into the pan and continue to cook, basting with the marinade, until the liquid is reduced by half. Remove the squabs and set aside; keep warm. The squabs should still be pink inside. Increase the heat to medium-high and reduce the juices by half again. Lower the heat to medium-low. Lift the pan from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche. Whisk to blend with the pan juices, then add the peeled grapes. Return to the stove and warm through, 1 to 2 minutes. To serve: Place a squab, skin-side up, in the center of each serving plate. Surround each with 12 grapes. Spoon sauce over the grapes and around the squabs.

SQUAB WITH MUSHROOMS AND PEARS
There's an almost infinite list of compatible dishes to match the earthy elegance of Barolo. Some gaminess, herbs, fruit and the alluring funkiness of mushrooms are the wine-friendly elements brought together in this dish, a dinner for two. The method of roasting the squab is based on the recipe in Pierre Koffmann's "Memories of Gascony." It's a technique that yields perfectly medium-rare birds, so I would not mess with it. But the accompanying pear and mushroom ragout is my own, and I'm quite proud of it, down to the idea of not bothering to peel the pears. You could serve the squabs whole for more drama, but quartering them makes them easier for guests to handle.

PAN-ROASTED SQUAB WITH SPRING GARLIC COMPOTE
Save this recipe for late February, when spring garlic first appears in markets. For this dish, it's best to use larger heads, planning on one large or two small heads per serving. Piecing out the squab makes for much easier eating and allows you to cook the different parts perfectly, with the added bonus that the wings and body add incredible depth and flavor to the sauce. If you think your knife skills aren't up to par, you can ask your butcher to do it for you, but be sure to reserve all the pieces. If your guests are big eaters, you might want to double the recipe to allow for one squab per person and serve as an entrée. Lentils would make a nice side.

Steps:
- Remove the breasts, thighs, and drumsticks from the squab and reserve. Using a large chef's knife, chop the bodies and wings into 3 or 4 pieces. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large saucepan over high heat. Add the squab bones and parts and sauté until well browned. Add the carrots, onion, and garlic cloves. Cook until softened and lightly colored, 6 to 8 minutes in all, then add 2 cups of the wine. Continue to cook until reduced by three-quarters, 6 to 8 minutes, then add the chicken stock. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 1 hour. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve over a bowl, pressing on the solids to extract all the liquid. You should end up with about 2 cups liquid. Discard the solids. Put the liquid in a clean saucepan and reduce until syrupy, or 1/4 cup total; the timing will vary depending on your stove and pan, but will be about 15 minutes.
- To make the compote, cut the spring garlic bulbs from the stems, then slice crosswise 1/8 inch thick. Film a sauté pan with 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and heat over high heat. Fry the garlic until crisp and lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour off the oil. Add the remaining 1 cup wine to the pan and cook over medium heat until reduced to about 2 tablespoons, about 10 minutes. Add the honey and cook until the mixture is thickened and coats the back of a spoon, 4 to 5 minutes. Reserve at room temperature.
- In a large sauté pan over high heat, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil on high heat and fry the squab breasts, thighs, and drumsticks skin-side down first, putting a light weight on the breasts or pressing with a spatula, for about 3 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook for 2 minutes longer, then turn once more to crisp the skin and finish cooking. Breasts should be served medium-rare, while thighs and drumsticks are cooked through. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes before serving.
- When ready to serve, reheat the sauce and season with salt and pepper. Divide the compote among 4 plates and place the squab pieces on top. Spoon the sauce around the squab and serve.
