I’ve been very busy. I worked 12-16 hour days all last week. So, I have not had a whole lot of time to cook. The craziness is over now. I have this weekend off, and next week I go back to a normal work week. Today, I slept in and figured out what I was…

Here is what I have been making out of the food that I have received from my farmshare for the last few weeks. Click on the hyperlinks for the recipes. I am hoping that some of you have similar vegetables to cook up! If you just want to find the recipe for Cashew Sill…
Duck Liver Pâté for a Friend
Recently, I received a windfall of duck livers. My friend Bethany got a new duck cookbook and had, over the last few months, cooked who knows how many ducks in who knows how many delicious ways. Bethany has been my neighbor while she attended medical school nearby, but I’ve known her since she was a teenager…
Two White Bean Dips (Gremolata/ Garlic Scape)/ Farmshare Cooking
I am loving my farm share. I could not really tell in advance if it would work out to be a good deal, but now I am certain that it is an excellent value. I am enjoying the challenge of figuring out what to cook with a variety of vegetables that I don’t usually buy, and…
Strawberry Shortcake For Haters / Farmshare Cooking
FARMSHARE WEEK 3 Here is the report on Week #3 of my farmshare. Last week I got… Garlic Scapes- made into White Bean, Garlic Scape, Lemon dip. I also made some scape pesto, but did not love it. These were eaten with this amazing healthy gluten-free bread made from seeds and nuts from the blog My…
Hakurei Turnip and Spring Onion Pakora with Chat Masala/ Farmshare Cooking
We joined a Flatbush Farmshare this Spring! Vegetables from the Farm at Miller’s Crossing, fruit from Hepworth Farms and eggs from Brookside Farm farm are delivered to an old Church in the middle of our bustling, crowded Brooklyn neighborhood. They also have milk, yogurt and beef, but I did not decide to buy those. I know what your thinking. “How dull….
Strawberry Rhubarb Meringue Pie (gluten-free or not)
I am very proud of this pie. The filling is zingy, a bit tart and has a nice jammy consistency with chunks of fruit. The meringue is fluffy and sweet and very pretty, even if you (like me) have no patience for piping meringue and just slap it on top in a messy way. This recipe…
Father’s Day! / Key Lime Pie with an Oreo Crust (Gluten-Free or not)
When I was nine years old, my mother and I moved from Canada to Maui, so that she could marry my fun, sweet, adventurous step dad. In a few years, I would hit puberty and develop all of the normal feelings of irritation and frustration toward my new father, but there were a few golden…
Radish Snack with Avocado Crema and Spicy Pepita Powder
I love radishes. It is odd that I have not talked about more on this blog. I guess that I don’t actually cook with radishes. I just eat them as a snack with olives, salted nuts or cheese….and add them to every salad I make…and sprinkle them, minced on top of my eggs. Really, I eat…
Four more weird and delicious pestos
In celebration of tender green things and the spring time, I like to make pesto. Also, I tend to be very busy in the Spring and pesto is a fast way to add a homemade touch to quick food. I am not actually a big fan of the classic basil and pine nut pesto. I…
