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 [...]

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 [...]
Make sure you catch two articles in particular in this week’s Bucks County Herald (only online for two weeks). Susan Yeske’s feature on the new vegetarian restaurant in New Hope, Spring & Vine, and Diana Cercone’s piece on the fresh spring vegetables that are appearing in area farm markets. [...]
As I’ve been getting to know the local food scene, I’ve met some great people, including some gifted food writers and cooks. Here’s a few food blogs by local chefs, home cooks and bakers. When I get my act together, I’ll make a separate page on Bucks County Taste listing all these great writers and [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]
While you are perusing this week’s Bucks County Herald, make sure you also read Diana Cercone’s piece, Farmers’ market provides the freshest seafood, about Metropolitan Seafood, the fish monger at the Stockton Farmers’ Market.
Diana interviewed owner Mark Drabich of Metropolitan Seafood, and got some good tips on buying and [...]
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 [...]
Well, that’s not the official name but it might as well be. As the snow came down fast and furious yesterday, Mark and I cooked up a batch of BIGOS, or Hunter’s Stew. It’s a bit of prep time (chopping, browning the meat) but then everything goes into the pot, and the pot goes into [...]

It has been a cold, windy, and even a little bit snowy week in Bucks County; perfect if you like winter! And perfect weather for soup. My mom sent us a Weight Watchers recipe for green soup a few weeks ago, which inspired us to make our own [...]

I always find it interesting to reach into the past to illuminate the present. Rich Baringer, our blogging personal chef, has done just that, sharing how the Pennsylvania Dutch have influenced so many Christmas and year-end traditions. Here are some excerpts from an article published in The [...]
We’re a week ahead of all of you. Since my sister and brother were visiting last week, and the whole Goldman clan was in one time zone, we had Thanksgiving last Friday. It was a blast. But kind of weird. Needless to say, we’re all feeling a little smug this week as everyone else is [...]

Autumn means more than pumpkins at Bucks County farms and farm markets; it also means a parade of apples that change weekly, each with its own personality and flavor.
With enticing names such as Zestar, Honey Crisp, Cortland, Macoun, Mutsu, Keepsake, Gala, Fuji, Jonagold, Jonathan, Empire, McIntosh, [...]

The warmth of this soup is in the temperature – and the chiles. Perfect for a brisk, autumn day.
On October 10th, Blooming Glen Farm held a Fall Festival for their members. It was a beautiful, breezy (OK, windy) fall day to celebrate all the bounty [...]
It’s a beautiful, cool day here in Wycombe. Instead of working at the computer, I’m thinking of “putting up” veggies and fruit. Found this nice Web site by the Penn State Cooperative Extension that has lots of tips on freezing, canning and preserving our Bucks County bounty (http://foodsafety.psu.edu/lets_preserve.html). Check out the boards [...]
