The Vegetarian Times is on Newsstands!

I wish I could give you a link to their website, but as of yet, it doesn’t reflect the current issue. But! The new magazine is on newsstands and on store shelves. Pick it up to see yours truly. The article is titled “Honor Roll” page 56 I think. My dish is the lead photo. [...]

On the Line with Eric Ripert

Standing in the newly renovated Astor Center, I met Chef Eric Ripert of Le Bernadin. I was nervous, this being my first official interview, but as soon as the Chef, smiling, relaxed in jeans and a green button-down shirt, walked in looking for me, I was put at ease, in that oh-my-god-I’m-interviewing-Eric-Ripert kind of way. [...]

Sweet Peas

Traditionally, peas get planted on St. Patrick’s Day in our neck of the woods. They take about 80 days to harvest, which means they’ll be done in time to plant tomatoes, eggplant, cucumbers and other heat loving vegetables. Peas and beans also magically “fix” the nitrogen in the soil. There are little nodes that form [...]

A Great Article on Foie Gras

In case you haven’t seen the cover in your neck of the woods (thank you Clustrmap.com!) The Village Voice gave prime real estate to foie gras production in the Hudson Valley.

I think its spot on. Please read it here and discuss. 

Here’s what I wrote to the article’s author:

Dear Sarah,

I am a student [...]

  • I am so glad you are discussing these issues. I think some foie gras producers are more humane than others. And I think the methods for producing foie gras are become more and more humane, check out a producer in Spain, where they don’t force feed them at all. They do it by the seasons, the ducks fatten themselves right before winter. Pretty awesome. I will check out this article.

Broken (by) Hollandaise

Culinary school has picked up in intensity, meaning we’ve turned on the stoves. Its funny to watch people in general, but its especially funny to watch people react to fire. Couple the heat with the fact that their are 16 students and 12 front burners. There are 12 at the back of each range as [...]
