Cheese Making: Winner Announced & A Coupon!

14 December 2009

This Contest has closed! Deborah R has won the giveaway!
This weekend, the snow fell hard and heavy. Tucked away in our cave of a home, just a few yards from the ski lifts, I spent my weekend hearth-side – testing and photographing new recipes and making cheese to last for those cold months of [...]

Actual Organics Giveaway: Winner Announced & Free Shipping

11 December 2009

When we’re so focused on food, we can sometimes forget that what we put on our bodies matters almost as much as what we put in our bodies. After all, skin is the largest organ, and it absorbs everything: the smog from your morning commute, the sodium lauryl sulfate from your body wash, the methylparaben [...]

Nutrient Showdown: Best Sources of Vitamins & Minerals

9 December 2009

We often discuss vitamins and minerals and their essential role in human health; however, that can be rather abstract until you take the time to examine nutrients and foods on a case-by case basis.   How exactly does vitamin K or riboflavin or selenium support our health?   Is liver really a nutritional powerhouse? How [...]

Potted Cheddar with Bacon & Shallots

7 December 2009

Christmas, like all holidays, is intrinsically linked with food.   For me, beyond the sugar cookies and gingerbread, I always remember the cheese spreads.   I know.   It seems odd to think of cheese or bacon being intrinsically connected to the holidays. but each year we’d receive boxes of goodies from mail order companies: [...]

Natural Sources of Vitamin D for the Dark Days

3 December 2009

I’ve talked at length about the importance of vitamin D in health – particularly its role in maintaining immunity and protecting fertility. Moreover, insufficient and deficient levels of vitamin D are linked to chronic disease: autoimmune disorders, infertility, cancer, depression, chronic pain, atherosclerosis, osteoporosis, cognitive dysfunction, you name it. This nutrient – truly a pre-hormone [...]

Hachiya Persimmon & Mandarin Ice Cream

1 December 2009

Sure, spring brings strawberries and summer brings peaches, but autumn with its bounty of turnips, rutabagas and curly kale is my favorite season.   It’s the season of under-loved and under-appreciated fruits and vegetables – the kind that rarely make it to the kitchen table for want of culinary know-how or for simple lack of [...]

Voodoo Stock: Chicken Feet & Chili Peppers

30 November 2009

Chicken feet – gnarly, repulsive and disturbing – make for the very best stock. Devoid of little else but tendons, bone and cartilage (sound appetizing yet?), chicken feet produce a fine golden broth that’s rich in all those obscure nutrients that make a good stock so nourishing: glucosamine chondroitin, collagen and trace minerals.   Moreover, [...]

Mandarin & Cranberry Relish

23 November 2009

Friday afternoon, a heavy box brimming with satsuma mandarins courtesy of Chaffin Family Orchards greeted me at the post office.     I’d anticipated their arrival all week – eager for something fresh and vibrant after a month when no other fresh fruit was available from our CSA but for apples.   These beautiful mandarins [...]
