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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
