These are the recipes that I wrote for the Daily Connection and the cooking segment I shot will air on NBC in Washington D.C. at 3pm on Friday. Not in DC? That’s okay! [...]

From today’s winter market, a colorful blend of what’s in season. In January. In the northeast. This is crisp, clean and delicious. I might make the stir fry and put between a poached egg and an English muffin and call it brunch!

Ah, fickle fall weather! When I wrote this recipe a week ago for the final of my scheduled farmers market cooking demos, I was anticipating a chilly, grey autumn afternoon. Thanks weather.com! Instead it was 80º and sunny, but the soup was just as tasty. Thanks all for coming out and taking a copy of [...] 1 comment to Sweet Potato & Carrot Soup

Sweet Corn & Peach Salsa
These are awesome, especially paired with a glass of cold gewurztraminer and a sunset.

What to do with all those greens?! Its the height of greens season at the Market. With those stunning piles of collards, kale, swiss and rainbow chard just begging to be made into an alt-bridal bouquet I’m always bringing home a bunch and sautéeing them with garlic. Classic, healthy and delicious, but after awhile, I was [...] |

Nice post man
Thanks man! Nice band.
Hi Ginny! Alas, I need a fairy godmother to pay my way and unless she shows up soon, I probably won’t make it. Are you traveling through New York? You always have a place to stay with me and Mark!
Great ideas Emily! Congrats on your TV spot. Will I see you in Portland this April?
