Kefir Miso Dressing
First of all, I need to tell you that you can make this dressing with yogurt and/or buttermilk if you do not have kefir. Also, if you don’t make kefir and you want to…I have some kefir grains for you.
The Best Cranberry Chutney
May I humbly suggest that cranberry sauce should be replaced with cranberry chutney at your next holiday meal? You don’t even need to wait for a special occasion meal! I am devoted to having sweet condiments with my savory food, so I make and eat a lot of fruit chutney. In my freezer, right now,…
Two Green Chutneys- Mint Coconut/ Cilantro Peanut
You buy a bunch of mint or cilantro for a recipe. The recipe uses a few sprigs out of the bunch. The rest wilts in your fridge. Next time, you skip the fresh herbs and the dish does not taste as good. Grrrrrrrrr. There are a lot of ways to preserve fresh herbs so that…
Pickled Red Cabbage
Yesterday was the last pickup for our Farmshare until the Spring. I was thrilled to receive more red cabbage. My body loves this delicious stuff. My fellow CSA members seemed less excited. We got red cabbage last time and most people probably still had some at home. I got one extra head from the swap…

The Sunview is an old, classic Luncheonette turned social club and microvenue for art, poetics, regionalism, mutual aid, and commoning. Members of the Sunview can hold community events, such as teaching seven…
Fennel, Celery and Red Onion Relish
I had the pleasure of attending my first Barbeque of 2015 last weekend. I was invited to the shin dig by my friend Saul whom I have known for 25 years! We met as baby adults working at Bergdorf Goodman in the 90’s. The party was being thrown by Saul’s boyfriend, Keith, in his fabulous…
Last Minute, Frugal, Heartfelt Christmas Gifts/ Spice Infused Lemon Salt and Vanilla Sugar
I don’t understand how Christmas can be so close! Here is what happened. I put a lot of effort into Thanksgiving and then tumbled headlong into lingering illness, computer meltdown and a series of deadlines that would knock your socks off. I just caught my breath and ack! Christmas is 5 days off! I really…
