Herby Whipped Ricotta with Peas and Garlic Scapes
Hello! Second week of June. What a joy. May was green, strawberries, flowers, lots of cooking, long days on set. June is shaping up to be much the same. Which is completely fine with me. I don’t have too many more things to say, other than: have you been to the market lately? You should…

Snap Pea, Radish and Orchid Salad
One of the things I love about this season is how easy it is to throw together a great salad. I know, I know; you thought I’d say something about berries and pies. Well, surprise! I like vegetables too! In fact, I can’t get enough of them. Come spring, I toss peas into pasta, roast…

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…

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,…
