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 [...]

Rich Baringer, our “on-staff” personal chef, has been doing cooking demonstrations this summer at the Blooming Glen Farm, a local community supported agriculture farm, in Blooming Glen. Last week he whipped up this delicious meal for an enthusiastic group of local cooks.
With all [...]
The corn this year – like the peaches – has been awesome. I haven’t tasted mediocre corn yet. I’m trying to work my way around to all the farms, but hey, it’s putting the weight on. And Mark is still trying to do low-carb (I gave it up in the face of all these delicious summer [...]
Here’s all the great vegetables and fruits available at many local farmers’ markets this week, followed by a recipe using all those summer squash and tomatoes. Bon appetit!
This week’s freshly picked vegetables are: basil, beets, cabbage, cilantro, collards, cucumbers, dill, edamame beans, various eggplants, fennel, fresh garlic, green beans, perennial herbs, hot peppers, kale, kohlrabi, [...]

As partners in a business that transforms chefs’ cookbook dreams into reality, it’s good to share a common vision. It’s also good to like the same kinds of food.
Shared tastes and a love of the culinary world prompted local food experts Melissa Hamilton and Christopher Hirsheimer [...]

Jack Baker was a man with a mission.
A retiree who likes to cook, he wanted to create the perfect pickle: one that was fresh and flavorful with just the right bite of vinegar and hint of dill. Most importantly, he wanted it to stay crunchy while [...]
If all the lovely veggies now showing up at local farmers’ markets don’t do it for you (??), here’s a Philadelphia Daily News article that highlights some delectable drinks you can make with local ingredients. That should motivate you to get out to the farmers’ market.
Here’s a couple of items that caught [...]
Believe it or not, I really am supposed to surf the web for my job. And I came across two drink recipes that just tickled my fancy, so I thought I’d share them.
The first is for Smoked Lemonade from Slashfood on AOL Food. Blogger Kat Kinsman gives a recipe for smoking lemons [...]
Alas, the strawberry season is coming to a close but that can only mean one thing…blueberries are coming! And while the rain certainly made a mess of the strawberry harvest this year, apparently it’s done the blueberry crop good, according to an article in the Pressof AtlanticCity.com. Blueberries are much larger and plumper [...]
Early summer has presented us with many bounties. Greens, certainly, and now, for the first time this season, squash flowers appeared at the farmers’ market. So here’s a couple of recipes to get you cooking.
The first is one I’ve been dying to try out. Sharon Schwartz recommended it from the cookbook
I first met Karen McGinn over a bowl of soup. Well, several bowls of soup, to be precise. I attended a cooking demonstration last March hosted by Network Now. You could say that Karen was the main act. She cooked, we watched, we ate and we drank. It worked on so many levels, [...]

Or, to those of you raised in places other than Philadelphia, also called “Matzoh Brei.” And, no, we are not talking about taking big pieces of matzoh and frying them up in a pan. It’s a little more involved than that. And a whole lot tastier.
As the Passover holiday comes to an end [...]
Sunday was one of those nights: Too cold and windy to go out, and two weeks of avoiding grocery shopping had caught up with us. So it was going to be a simple supper, pulled together from whatever we happened to have around. Although that included beef – a New York strip in the refrigerator, a [...]
I was never sure about this Thanksgiving. All along I’d imagined a big, warm gathering, our first Thanksgiving in our new home. I could see and feel it, even when reality kept blocking the view.
Then one September Saturday morning, as we walked through the Wrightstown Farmer’s Market, we took the [...]
