Beef pot roast – classic comfort food – offers that lovely warmth one needs most during the darkest days of winter. A good beef pot roast satisfies and nourishes on an almost primal level. The savory, fork-tender beef falls apart with gentle ease while winter root vegetables (carrots, parsnips and turnips) swim in a combination [...]
Salmon Cakes
May 10, 2009 By 33 Comments
I like to serve these salmon cakes over mixed greens with fresh ruby red grapefruit and homemade wasabi mayonnaise. This recipe represents an excellent opportunity to get salmon into your family’s bellies at an affordable price. The meal is inexpensive, flavorful and nutrient-dense. Unlike many recipes for salmon cakes, this recipe doesn’t use [...]

One Local Summer: Week 8
July 26, 2008 By 3 Comments
We enjoyed this meal directly after last Sunday’s market. I’d taken the day off. Between working full-time and mothering our toddler, I don’t have the energy to be at market any more and I think my presence (particularly with said toddler in tow) was more of a burden than a help to my [...]
New-style Peas and Carrots
July 26, 2008 By 2 Comments
This isn’t the much-loathed dish of school cafeterias – that canned slop in which all the carrots held the same curiously cubic shape; rather, this is a new take on a classic dish. It incorporates parmex carrots, a curiously shaped baby carrot that are perfect for snacking as well as sugar snap peas and [...]

In a rush, a dire rush, I didn’t have the chance to take multiple recipe-in-progress photos. But I did manage to capture this one image. It was a delicious meal, low in carbohydrates and rich in flavor. My toddler also enjoyed putting his wrap together. You’ll need: 3 Cups Leftover Roast Chicken, Chopped 5-6 [...]
Broiled Clams with Garlic and Ginger

Though far from local at least where I live clams have been a welcome treat at our dinner table. They’re rich in vitamin B12 and iron and they taste delicious. I’m accustomed to eating clams with lemon, parsley and butter but this Asian-inspired dish is a nice, luxuriously flavorful alternative. I serve these with [...]
