We had planned for salad caprese. Fresh mozzarella – check. Basil – check. Beautiful, multi-colored heirloom tomatoes from the farm – check. But then the weather turned cool and rainy and I just wanted something warmer. Then I remembered seeing a recipe on Cook’s Illustrated for a Pasta Caprese. Perfect. Easy and great for late [...]

Remember this Seinfeld episode? Kramer: Well, they’re in… Jerry: What’s in? Kramer: The Macanaw peaches, Jerry! The Macanaw peaches! Jerry: Ah, right. The ones from Oregon that are only ripe for two weeks a year… Kramer: Yeah…I waited all year for this (bites the peach). Ooooh, this is fantastic…Makes your taste buds come alive…It’s like [...]

by guest blogger Rich Baringer It’s just about time for watermelons to start appearing in our local farm markets. In many ways, watermelon seems like the all-American fruit—a staple at our summer picnics. It actually originated in Africa where it was cultivated by the Egyptians.

There’s Mexican-style Grilled Corn (courtesy of Cook’s Illustrated) – which, by the way, gets tons of hits all throughout the year.

by guest blogger Susan S. Yeske If the mere thought of roast beef smothered in horseradish sauce or deviled eggs fired up with the same condiment makes you respond like one of Pavlov’s pups, there is good news for you. Bucks County’s own Kelchner’s Horseradish has spiced up its website with a variety of carefully [...]

by guest blogger Rich Baringer Jake is a carnivore. My 4-year old will eat pretty much any kind of meat–often pretending that he’s a lion eating a gazelle. So whenever he sees the grill out, he gets his hopes up for some sort of meat that he can sink his teeth into. Now that it’s summer, [...]

Yee-ha. It’s blueberry season. We got some lovely ones from Solebury Orchard yesterday. Some are going into Mark’s homemade ice cream (made from Birchwood Farms sweet cream), some went into the freezer for cold winter days, and some, well, just went back into the fridge. I couldn’t bear to put them ALL away. Blueberries bring to [...]

Personal Chef Rich Baringer tells us what to do with all these lovely greens showing up at farmers’ markets this time of year. I’ve added one more recipe I tried over the weekend for a swiss chard gratin. Simple and delicious. It’s spring. Farmers’ markets have opened, pick-your-own farms are thriving and we’ve got our [...]
by guest blogger Elisabeth Villarroel None Such Farms’ asparagus is amazing, and going fast. Last weekend we got a bunch of the purple and green stalks and when we went back for more at noon this Sunday there was a sign outside that said “No asparagus until Monday.” Luckily for me, I walked in to [...]

by guest blogger Susan Sprague Yeske There was a time when the arrival of April in the Delaware Valley meant shad for dinner, sometimes several times a week. Longtime residents of New Hope and Lambertville, NJ grow nostalgic when they talk about moms who ventured down to the river when the Lewis family was bringing [...]
The kitchen is ready – or as ready as it’s going to be considering that I am still nursing this cold. I’ve cleaned out the refrigerator, brought up the Passover dishes and food, and we’re now in official Passover mode. No more bread, or pizza, or buffalo chicken egg rolls. Poised to celebrate this eight-day holiday that [...]

Yessiree, it’s that time again. Purim is here! Purim is a fun, almost carnival-like holiday, celebrating the Jews narrow escape from extermination in long ago Persia. (What can I say? It’s been thousands of years of persecution; at least we make a holiday of it.) The holiday starts at sundown this Saturday and goes through Sunday. [...]
