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.…

As our Clark Farm Fall CSA Share starts to wind down, we are eating more cold-tolerant veggies. This week we received some beautifully fresh pak choi in our share and so, we did what comes naturally. Stir Fry! If you’re wondering about the difference between bok chhoy and pak choi (besides the spelling), this article…

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…

Believe it or not, we seem to live in a fresh seafood desert, even though we are about 30 miles from the Atlantic. While fresh seafood is pretty hard to come by, I have found that some fish, scallops and shrimp, are just fine in the frozen version. We have been treated to a bumper…

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…

It’s hot here in New England. Hot as in, 90-degree days and the old brick mill building in which I live has retained every degree. It’s an unfortunate reality that we cannot bottle this up for the winter months when it’s below zero. But I digress. This recipe from Hetty Lui McKinnon, a columnist and…

When the weather starts to turn toward summer (finally!), we gravitate toward salads for our main course. Tonight, I assembled Lidey Heuk‘s Orzo Salad which, by-the-way, makes a ton so would be a good candidate for bringing to a summer gathering. The addition of fresh herbs – I used a combination of mint and parsley…

I’ve never regretted, not for one second, cooking a recipe developed by Ali Slagle, a contributor to the New York Times Cooking section AND cookbook author (I Dream of Dinner). At the minimum, you should become a subscriber to her substack, 40 Ingredients Forever. It’s asparagus season and because asparagus looks so tempting right now,…
