Mmmm… I have such a craving for a luscious tomato tart. Roasting brings out such intense flavors. And melted cheese: the deliciousness of the thought speaks for itself. However, it’s pushing 90 today, and I won’t be turning on the oven. How to celebrate high tomato season with something a little simpler, more “rustic” and [...]

This summer, while we live–on extended visits–with various units of extended family, my cooking life has been tyrannized. Not by non-omnivores or picky children so much as by the need to please everyone. How to do so? In our family, it’s with the Square Meal. Protein, veg, “starch,” bev. Last night, I said, “forget it, [...]

Everything was burning yesterday evening. For the most part, in the best way. First, I roasted the two bunches of beets–chioggia and golden–and some of the juice oozed out of the foil onto the cookie sheet. The whole house smelled of burned beet slime. The result of roasting, however, was delicious: warm beet salad dressed [...]

Mmm… Making a margherita pizza tonight with many scrumptious local ingredients. It’s also sort of a Norwich Route 5 pizza, because Killdeer is just down the road from King Arthur Flour, and most of the ingredients were purchased at these favorite spots. The fresh mozz is sold at Killdeer and made at Maplebrook Farm, in [...]

I spent the morning in the Pomfret, Vermont hills among cows and affable, talkative farmers happy to have me help to spread their gospel: eat locally and sustainably, and preserve the traditions of good food and respect for the land. I’ll save Cloudland Farm for another post, because my visit to Thistle Hill Farm was [...]

Organic ricotta, fresh peas, local applewood smoked bacon, pasta, parmigiano-reggiano. Sigh…

Since this is a locavore blog, in some ways, I have to admit, I misrepresent myself. For example: beer versus wine. I’ve written more about beer, and expressed a lot of enthusiasm about local ales, but I’m really much more of a wine drinker. Lately it’s been Spanish reds, and vinho verde. I love the [...]

Vermont is, of course, known for its dairy farms, along with its maple syrup. The two events I went to today, the Norwich Farmers’ Market and the Co-op’s annual Dairy Day, are really celebrations of the richness, variety, and history of Vermont’s dairies, which stretches back to the seventeenth century. While stories of small dairies [...]

After a stop at the Norwich Bookstore and Nana’s apartment, we went to the Hanover farmers’ market, on the Dartmouth green. I’d had some pent-up desire for this kind of variety and plenty, and I went a little wild. Jack and I ate half of the bunch of salmon colored carrots right away. Then, after [...]
