The Garden Remedy that Survived the Bubonic Plague: Four Thieves Vinegar

July 19, 2011 By kevin 3 Comments

Four Thieves Vinegar can cure the plague, at least, that’s what French folklore teaches us. And while I can’t comment on the veracity of this statement (and, no, it hasn’t been approved by the Food & Drug Administration), I will say that in every little garden whether it’s an expansive lot on a farmstead, a [...]

mystery veggies in your csa box? what to do with what’s in your box.

June 19, 2011 By support 8 Comments

I have a confession: I have no idea what’s in my CSA box this week, and, I’m confident I’m not alone. Sure, I can recognize the sugar snap peas and carrots, the lacinato kale with its pebbled dark green leaves, the baby collards (which we’ll combine with cream and the last of our overwintered shallots [...]

Recipe: Spiced Kombucha Vinaigrette

April 22, 2010 By jenny 17 Comments

Kombucha vinaigrette, may seem like an unusual take on the classic combination of olive oil and balsamic or red wine vinegar, but, when complemented by the unique flavors of clove and allspice it can become a nourishing, if unique dressing for any salad. I find it pairs particularly well with the sweetness of beets, apples, pears and nuts. Reminiscent of apple cider vinegar in combination with club soda, kombucha offers a unique flavor that is growing in popularity as more and more natural foods enthusiasts learn to cherish the beverage – a sweetened tea that undergoes a unique fermentation process through the use of a mother or symbiotic colony of bacteria and yeast.

Asian-style Ginger Vinaigrette

January 28, 2008 By jenny Leave a Comment

While a simple green salad with a raw cider vinaigrette will always be my choice of salads, that doesn’t always go with every meal and it’s awfully nice to mix things up a bit here and there. For this Asian-inspired Vinaigrette, you’ll need: Tamari Ginger Fish Sauce Brown Rice Vinegar Some Sesame Seeds to [...]
