Tomato & Zucchini Cobbler with Gruyere and Thyme Biscuits
We’re making savory cobbler! Why let fruit have all the fun? This one’s quick, easy and full of flavor. The best kinds of cobbler are. We start with the filling: sliced zucchini, yellow summer squash and halved cherry tomatoes are combined with fresh thyme, salt, pepper and olive oil for lusciousness. A little bit of…

Herbed Wild Salmon with Roasted Summer Vegetables
My new job as a baker means lots of new side effects! Here are some of them: 1. Muscles! Whereas I couldn’t even lift one initially, I can now carry 50 lb. bags of flour across a room without breaking a sweat. Progress! 2. Back pain! Or stiff joints/tense shoulders/tense everything. Professional baking is like…

The Best Of Summer Days
Last week, we decided to wake up early one morning and go fruit picking. We drove upstate and stepped out into the most beautiful, fragrant air. The sky was a picturesque blue and filled with cottony clouds, and sunflowers lined the way to our favorite orchard. The orchard was virtually empty, and overflowing with fruits…

Heirloom Tomatoes with Chili Oil, Pesto and Mozzarella
Here is a little recipe for the unofficial last day of summer. Except, this isn’t a recipe so much as a suggestion, in the way that tomatoes suggest a sprinkling of salt, and that pesto suggests gratings of cheese, and that it all suggests a hunk of bread. In other words, here is a plate…

Egg and Vegetable Breakfast Wrap
Breakfast is a meal that most people tend to skip, or at the very least, skimp on, downing a quick bowl of sugary cereal or a steaming mug of coffee on the go. And while I get that mornings are busy, and that there’s not exactly time to assemble the sort of glorious brunch spread…

Garden of Eden
This Sunday, we took a trip upstate to pick some fresh fruits and vegetables at Ochs Orchard. The orchard was around an hour away, and the route there was scenic and surrounded by greenery. When we arrived, we were given a map to all of the different places where we could pick our own produce,…

Tomato, Nectarine and Corn Salad
Summer is the season for salad, and what could be more fitting than a salad composed of all of the season’s freshest produce? Here, I started with spinach as the base, for some green goodness that has a little more flavor than your average salad greens. Then, I roasted corn over a fire, which gave…
