Last week we discussed end of summer tomato hoarding. This week let’s address the great corn glut of 2017. My farmshare has sent me a lot of corn and there seems to be no end in sight. Temperatures are in the 80’s in New York right now, so it’s really still summer here. I have…

Fish Braised in Tomato and Simple Homemade Thai Curry Paste
It’s time to make this dish. There are so many ripe tomatoes today, but they will be gone before we know it. Make this dish with all of the tomatoes that you have purchased in a moment of tomato hoarding, or that have arrived in your farmshare. Make this dish before your tomato stockpile starts…
Creamy Passionfruit Mango Parfait (vegan)
Oh how I adore Passionfruit. I have recently discovered a very good source for passionfruit puree, which is helping me to get over my deep and abiding regret about not eating more fresh passionfruit when I lived in Hawaii (See my post post on Regret and Coconut Passionfruit Chia Seed Pudding). It’s called Perfect Puree…
Beet Caviar with Lime and Pepitas
Oh my. I have been busy. I have over a dozen posts half-finished for this blog that I have not been able to get up because I am so busy. I’ve decided to post this one because it is the recipe I have been making, serving and eating the most over these last few busy…
Potato and Fried Almond Soup
This simple, Andalusian style Potato soup has been a standard in my kitchen for many winters. Is is one of the three most simple and deeply satisfying soups I’ve ever eaten. The other two are Caldo Verde, the Portuguese concoction of kale, potatoes, sausage and water that magically makes perfect soup and Stracciatella a perfect combination of eggs, greens,…
Blood Orange Curd
Some friends came over a couple of weeks ago. We ate Kasha and Beet Salad, divided up a huge amount of nuts that we had ordered online for cheap and made blood orange curd. It filled my house with excellent conversation and the smell of orange zest. We followed the same formula that I’ve used in…
Milk Baked Chicken with Orange Zest, Saffron, Cinnamon and Spanish Paprika
I first heard about the concept of braising meat in milk when I read the book “Cooked” by Micheal Pollan. The book is divided into elements. There is a fire chapter (about barbecue), an air chapter (about bread baking and leavening), an earth chapter (about fermentation), and a water chapter (about boiling and braising). It’s one…
Bird Seed Cereal (Gluten-Free)
I’ve been eating this cereal everyday that I go to work, for about 2 years now. My husband has two ancient pet doves, whom he has loved and cared for since before we were dating. He swears that this cereal is exactly the bird seed that he feeds Phoebe and Lula. Well, if it’s kept…
Bento Box- Mochiko Chicken, Rice and Miso Slaw
I spent the second half of my childhood in Hawaii. There are certain local foods that I will never stop craving. I’ve figured out how to make a few of them. This Mochicko chicken recipe is pretty classic. The accompanying miso slaw recipe is my own invention. It’s more hippy food than local food, but…
Cranberry, Almond, Ginger Tart (gluten-free)
My plan was to make this tart to bring to every holiday party I went to this year. It’s a beautiful tart, all shiny and red and studded with candied ginger. The jam filling packs a punch between the tartness of the cranberries and the spice of the ginger, but there is just a thin…
