Eat. Drink. Live.
We found a winner of a recipe in the summer issue of Eating Well magazine. It’s a completely raw salad with a lovely lemon vinaigrette, and it uses up one of summer’s most prolific vegetables: zucchini.
Y’all may remember Stella, at least through her reputation as an excellent cook. Stella is our friend Laurie’s mom, and Stella makes the best, most kick-ass tamales you’ve ever met, bar none. One Christmas, Laurie brought a suitcase’s worth to […]
A new cole slaw recipe, which uses mustard to take some of the sweet out of the mayonnaise. It was a big hit. It may not be the prettiest picture, but it sure does taste good.
They eat a lot of cabbage in “The Heart is a Lonely Hunter.” We checked, and the word is mentioned 15 times. John Singer, our hero, if you can call him that, hates it. “Singer sat at the table three […]
The inspiration for this came from an Ellie Krieger recipe I found on finecooking.com. But instead of making her recipe exactly, I roasted the beets first separately. I also added pancetta, chestnuts and parsnips to the mix. And I parboiled […]
This recipe comes from a super-cool and very inspiring cookbook called Eat Feed Autumn Winter. (You may remember the book from an exciting supper at the farm where we cooked Pork Chops with Apples and Brandy and Wild Rice Pilaf […]

I came across this recipe in Bon Appetit and liked the do-ahead nature. Plus, it’s a great way to have a warm dish that uses fresh tomatoes. Sometimes you get tired of just slice-and-serve.
When I tell you that these are the best baked beans you’ll ever have, you should believe me. They’re from an Alton Brown recipe, and I originally discovered it on the Serious Eats blog. (I wish my photo looked as […]
Tofu? Yes. Tofu. I subscribe to this cool web site called No Take Out. When a recipe for Green Rice with Curried Tofu came into my inbox, I was intrigued. I like the fact that tofu is just tofu. It’s […]
And a third in a trifecta of good recipes from Martha Stewart Living. Serve this with Jalapeno-Garlic Shrimp and Cilantro Rice with Peas.
Another winner from Martha Stewart Living. Part of a whole meal idea, too: it goes great with Jalapeno Garlic Shrimp and Mango-Radish Salad.
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.
