  • This was a terrific recipe for using some of the Napa Cabbage that has come our way via our Clark Farm Winter CSA. As Carolina Gelen, the NYT’s contributor of this recipe tells it, no need to hand roll cabbage rolls for hours and hours. That’s a good thing; the day after Thanksgiving, I’m happy…

  • One of my favorite vegetables is Romanesco – kind of a cross between broccoli and cauliflower. I love it for its creaminess and slightly stronger-than-cauliflower taste. Recently, our Clark Farm Carlisle Winter CSA share included a head of Romanesco and to say I was pretty excited about that would be an understatement. Romasesco is tasty…

  • This week is all about eating. And for some of us, it’s also about cooking. So for the next few days I’m planning to post every day. And to cook. Let’s see how that goes. We’ve started our Winter CSA share with Clark Farm a few weeks ago, and even with cold weather, we are…

  • This was a tasty and quick one-pot stew to pull together using some of our beautiful Fall Share from Clark Farm Carlisle. Cabbage, Tofu, and Delicata Squash Stew, or Báicài dòufu guō, comes from a terrific website for plant-based Asian inspiration – Woon Heng. Her recipe for Cabbage, Tofu, and Delicata Squash Stew is easily…

  • We like to start our evenings with cinq à sept, aka the cocktail hour. It’s a way we transition from all that has been going on throughout the day into a more relaxed time for dinner and evening. Sometimes we even include adult beverages, but usually there’s a bit of and appetizer to get the…

  • Sunshine Kabocha Squash, like its more well-known sibling Kabucha or Japanese Winter Squash, has a slightly sweet flavor, creamy texture and doesn’t need to be peeled. In my view, that makes it a must-try. This week, our Clark Farm Carlisle share included this variety of squash, which I roasted for a vegetable side. The instructions…

  • Our Clark Farm Carlisle CSA Share included caraflex cabbage this past week so I had a second great opportunity to use cabbage in a way that is not usual for me. As a high-schooler, my part-time job was at a short-order stand where the owners were known for their delightful coleslaw – a secret recipe.…

  • One of my all-time favorite soups is carrot, and so with cooler weather and some beautiful, fresh carrots included in our Clark Farm CSA Share, I couldn’t resist. Carrot soup, in my opinion, doesn’t require a step-by-step recipe. When I make it I use a blueprint of tastes that appeal to me. If I have…

  • We received some beautifully grown organic leeks in our Clark Farm CSA Share over the past couple of weeks, so when I noticed Yasmin Fahr published a pasta dish featuring leeks and mushrooms in this week’s NYTimes, I was intrigued. Sautéeing leeks and mushrooms then adding miso’s yumminess along with some sherry vinegar was absolutely…

  • Here’s another great way to make use of all of those tomatoes! This confit, unlike others I’ve found recently, is completely cooked on the stovetop. Since my slow-cooker is also an Instant Pot, and therefore the nuance of slow cooker temperature choices is non-existent, this one made sense for me. One of my sisters lives…
