We love Brussel sprouts. We love them roasted, steamed, pan-fried, and raw. We love them the day they are cooked, and we love them for leftovers. I know you may not share our enthusiasm, but bear with me. I’m used to finding Brussel sprouts in our local grocery store, but they always are in a…

If Thursday’s meal has made you feel the need for something a little more light or healthy, this post is for you. Our Clark Farm Winter CSA Share this week included some crisp and beautiful Napa cabbage. We also received some carrots and with that, a slaw was born. Flavored by a sauce made with…

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…

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…

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…

Through our Fall CSA Share at Clark Farm, we’ve been introduced to caraflex cabbage, a conical shaped and creamy mild variety. This recipe for preparing caraflex cabbage as a side is easy and a delicious way to highlight the mild flavors and texture of this variety. The recipe comes from Local Roots NYC, a farm-to-table…

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…

I had not been a big fan of bitter greens until this year. But… finding new ways to use greens of all sorts has been part of our cooking expeditions since we joined Clark Farm CSA. This week, we received mustard greens as part of our share, and tried them in a fall(ish) soup recipe…

This past spring, Adrien and I were privileged to travel to the land of my ancestors – Sicily. Sicily is such a marvelously complex mix of cultures, but one of the most striking things about it is the food. Sicilians take the abundance of the land and sea and create some of the most wonderful…

This week our CSA share included a bunch of dandelion greens. Admonished to “try them”, we took the challenge, and in all honesty, enjoyed them! The creative behind this recipe, Martha Rose Shulman, is an American cookbook author and one of the New York Times Cooking Columnists that I seek out. Her recipes are creative…
