When you want something with bite — both crunch and a little spice — turn to this great radish salad recipe by Melissa Clark in the New York Times. I made it for a Passover seder and it was a […]
A pork, fennel and chard soup we made up on the fly! Well worth saving. A delicious winter’s night soup. [amd-zlrecipe-recipe:28]
After a grain-salad happy summer, it’s time to transition. Yes, we’ll still be combining grains with vegetables and herbs and tossing with dressing, but the vegetables and herbs are changing. Read more: Wheatberry Salad with Zucchini and Snap Peas So […]
This might possibly be the best stuffing (or dressing, actually, since it was cooked outside the turkey) that I’ve ever had. It was moist, flavorful and had great texture, too. A real winner all around. We started with breakfast sauage, […]
As I think I mentioned, we’re doing a vegan Christmas supper this year. We planned ahead by making and freezing a vegetable stock (hey, you’re always going to need stock, right?), but in the end, we had to make it […]

I am just loving Dorie Greenspan‘s new cookbook “Around my French Table.” Seriously. You should buy it. Then you can discover such great recipes like this squash soup, which not only helped me use up a squash from the farmers […]

I found these beautiful striped bass at the Palisades Farmers Market, and couldn’t resist.
My husband, Greg, and I are co-founders of SCF, which chronicles what we eat, drink and grow as we raise our daughter on a tiny plot of land in the Lower Hudson Valley.
