These crisp tortillas filled with seasonal fruit and ricotta, topped with berry sauce make a romantic brunch or surprising dessert wrap. I used local peaches and blueberries here, but feel free to fool with fruit any local combination. (If you can find local ricotta let me know where please!) l cup [...] Posted on July 6th, 2010
It’s nine million degrees inside and out, and I’m awash in berries from my neighbor, Jim, who set us loose on his raspberry patch. Then there’s the black cup raspberry bush next to our bulkhead that’s laden with more berries, which I can’t leave to the birds. So oodles of berries [...] Posted on June 23rd, 2010
After my our annual strawberry picking at Ioka Valley Farm, our favorite feast is strawberry shortcake — warm, dense biscuits topped with juicy ripe berries and fresh whipped local cream from High Lawn Farm. I sometimes plan ahead, making biscuits before we pick, then storing them, uncooked, in the freezer on [...] Posted on June 15th, 2010
Three websites, each with a tasty… A short talk on about Salads The first is Caroline Alexander’s Berkshire Food Journal, which I’ve featured before for its superb audio segments and accompanying slides about regional farmers.

(I even threw in some [...] Posted on December 24th, 2009

I especially like it for brunch. Better yet, top it with whatever fresh, local fruit is in season. Yesterday I [...] Posted on November 4th, 2009
Tonight, our cozy little family reunion — my visiting mom and daughter, along with my husband and I — split this perfect apple galette, right out of the oven. Seasoned local apples were casually gathered in a crisp crust, then glazed with jam. The kicker was garum masala, a warming Indian spice mix that [...] Posted on September 13th, 2009
I hate to clean, don’t you? Smell, and so naturally taste is my most alert sense. So, I find it helps to clean to the simmering of something fragrant. This year our apple tree, bought when we escaped Manhattan, finally yielded a great crop. They’re funky, of course, because of the rain and lack [...] |
